Its now looking less and less likely that we will win the league with our poor form and peterboroughs run. but do you care so long as we go up?
Do you actually care about going up as champions?
Its looking less and less likely

Going up is the most important thing obviously. I respect that, and in the long run I'll be happy as long as we get that. But I really, really want top spot. It would be a great bonus, and it'd be nice after us only being 2nd the last time we got promoted.

A league title wouldn't last long in our history. Just need to go up.

As long as we get out of this tinpot micky mouse league, I don't care if we win it or not. Peterborough can take it for all I care.

This.
It might be annoying that we blew it as champions but the players will soon forget once were back in the championship. I doubt there is a significant difference in prize money also.

Well the players still think we've already won it, they seem oblivious to the fact that if you take your foot off the peddle the opposition don't!

On a positive note, thank god we got the points that we did in the first half of the season or we would be looking at playoffs at best.

I said that to my brother the other night. We should be grateful for our excellent first half of the season where we took everyone by storm.

We could be in the play-offs at this rate.

With the position we had, it would be embarassing not to go up as champions.
Although as painful as these last five games will be, quite frankly, now I couldn't give a monkeys.

Fair enough. I'm in no mood for optimism at the minute. No doubt when i've slept on it i won't feel as downhearted.

This.
Everyone in Leicester - the club, the Mercury, Stringer, fans - went on and on about the unbeaten run, and since it came to an end (well, before that, actually) we've been poor, scraping results in unlikely circumstances - Millwall and Bristol - and playing badly in games we should have strolled.
From the position we've been in almost all season long, we know appear to be in disarray. If Nigel Pearson says "there will be twists and turns" again I swear I will scream. All the philosophy in the world won't hide the fact that the players are not functioning as a unit any more - instead of being a team fighting for a clear objective, we look like eleven men looking for someone to blame. That's not championship material. I don't know what has gone wrong on the inside - whether some players think the job is done, or some have got pissed off about team selection, or perhaps word has started to leak out about plans for next year and those not featuring are unhappy about it - but something is seriously wrong in the City camp.
Nigel, sort it out!
