I really hope it still comes down to them sealing it with a win a Stamford Bridge.
Think it'll be sealed long before then but it'll be interesting to see what Chelsea fans make of the last day if it goes that far. Would they really want their team to beat Leicester and hand the title to Spurs or Arsenal? I somehow doubt it.

Was it not a game at Stamford Bridge when the whole ground was cheering and chanting for Bolton (trying to stay up?) and their own fans were booing their players?

From the Guardian:
A similar story emerged at Chelsea on the final day of the 1997-1998 season. Bolton, one point clear of 18th-placed Everton needed to match the Merseyside club’s result to stay up, but with Everton drawing 1-1 with Coventry and Bolton 1-0 down at Stamford Bridge, Bolton were going down on goal difference. With nothing to play for in the league, and a Cup Winners’ Cup final to come three days later, it is unclear why Chelsea supporters changed allegiances mid-match, although it could be attributed to the club’s victory at Bolton in 1982-83 on the penultimate day of the Division Two season which helped Chelsea escape a relegation of their own. Regardless, the Shed End urged Bolton on to find an all-important equaliser – chants of “let ‘em score, let ‘em score, let ‘em score” blaring down from the stand – and the Lancashire team poured forward. However, Bolton were caught on the counter-attack and conceded again in injury-time, with some Chelsea fans booing and jeering one of their own, Jody Morris, as he wheeled away in celebration. “I cannot recall ever hearing such a reception for a Chelsea goal from Chelsea supporters,” wrote Blues fan Alan Doyle. “It is the only time in my recollection that I have heard the Chelsea fans cheer for the opposition.”
I thought this might be the game where they get nervous and slip up. They didn't. Reckon they really will do it now. So does one bookie, who has already paid out
Leicesters mayor is ready to name the city's streets after the teams players, should they complete a fairytale season by winning the premier league title.

Maybe Roly could slip the mayor a few bob in honour of some of our 'star players' we've shipped over in recent seasons and have a few streets in Greenwich renamed....

It must be theirs now, if they hold on, 10 points clear if they do. Rodwell just missed an absolute sitter. If Tottenham don't win today it's as good as done.

Vardy Chavenue.
Lolled that one...surely nailed on with those 2 goals this afternoon.
Would Leicester be where they are if Nigel Pearson was still there,or is it all down to Ranieri.
Pearson made the bricks .. Ranieri has been the architect and master builder .. AND mostly, the whole :Leicester squad is just so fit, together and determined .. this season has been a real boost for all the 'smaller' clubs outside the great metropolitan 'elites' .. let's hope that this is not just an 'Ipswich-like' one off
Like Sunderland, goes back to '98, but, Brilliant, Ranieri, I remember how chelski treated him, and, knowing he be sacked, he still had the patience and humour with our supporters at Stamford Bridge. "Sacked on Monday, you're getting sacked on Monday......." We sang. He turned round, smiled and said, "No no no.......tomorrow". Lovely man, think that old saying, something about "what goes around, comes around " is apt.
CLAUDIO RANIERI, hoping you and your team lift the Premier league trophy at Stamford Bridge in May.

A punter who had £20 at 2,000-1 on Leicester winning title has collected £40k already after Betfred paid out early, says bookmaker

Having said that. I hope they do it.
Like our playoff final - anyone reading this, it won't get any better for us either.
Will they blow it? Unlikely
I think Leicester are stronger defensively than Newcastle were, I really hope they do it.
