I think we're going to finish top 4. Am I mad?

Last game of the season. 

 

Wembley Stadium. Tottenham Hotspur, 5th place, take on Leicester City in 6th, a place in the Champions League up for grabs if Arsenal in 4th fail to win away at Huddersfield, who need a point to stay up. 

 

Leicester fans have spent the last five weeks ironically singing "we're coming for you" to Tottenham supporters as the North London club's form gets "a bit Spursy."  The night before the game, Jamie Vardy retweets Harry Kane's lion meme and the stage is set. 

 

A tense and cagey affair follows with Bobby Madley doing his utmost to clamp down on Leicester's ball winning and Jamie Vardy being called incorrectly offside a record fifty eight times. 

 

Dele Alli, fresh from his sixteenth should-have-been yellow card blazes over from an open goal after Son leaves Kasper stranded and the Wembley crowd begin to get desperate. 

 

Somewhere around the 93rd minute (Madley has had 9 added on), news comes through that a late Mooy equaliser has rescued Huddersfield and left Arsenal vulnerable (their players aren't aware Tottenham vs Leicester isn't a final score, so they're busy posing for selfies as the action continues in the national stadium.)

 

In the 99th minute, Danny Rose army dives to the floor about six feet away from Danny Simpson a metre outside the box and Bobby says "close enough!", pointing to the spot. 

 

Kasper is so outraged (he's already been booked for taking three seconds to take a goal kick) he calls Madley a **** and gets his marching orders, leaving Iborra - as the tallest player on the team - to go in goal for the kick. 

 

The ground falls silent as Harry Kane steps up and is about to shoe it top bins as Vardy produces a deafening armpit "fart" with a cheeky grin and 'Arry slices his effort straight at the post. The ball rattles between both posts and lands at Iborra' s feet. 

 

Calmly, Vicente inspects his finger nails, adjusts his eyebrows, flicks some dirt off his shorts and then pings a glorious fifty yarder for Vardy who started running the second his prank stopped echoing round the ground. 

 

Still giggling at his own joke, he races up the right hand channel, skinning a desperate Jan Vertonghen and squares it sharply across the eighteen yard box to find a full tilt samurai who has never run so fast in his life. 

 

With Lloris closing him down, Shinji gives him a casual eyebrow wiggle then promptly up-ends himself over his own feet and drops like a stone to the deck. His noggin catches the ball on the way down and he awkwardly cannons it off his forehead past a completely stranded goalkeeper as Ian Darke screams out:

 

OKAZAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. 

 

("Okazaki Day" is promptly celebrated every year in Leicester for the next decade.)

 

Leicester leap to fourth and leave the North London clubs to be the biggest fish in the Europa League for another season, Wenger signs a new contract and Kane is brought by Manchester United for five hundred million in what Mourinho calls a bargain (he scores three goals all year from right back as Jose tries out his new 10-0-0 formation.) 

 

Spurs collapse to tenth the following season while Claude Puel leads Leicester to a heroic treble, beating Atletico Madrid in the Champions final in an act of final cosmic justice. Andy King scores the game's only goal. 

Love it!!

It's still there as a possible.  The Palace result was bad, but these little blips in form and results happen from time to time for everyone (except Man City).  There is an awfully long way to go and I maintain we are in a mini league with Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and Burnley.  At the moment we are bottom, but it is all still close enough for anyone to win it.  We are not favourites, but we have a chance.  Potentially finishing ahead of just one of those will see us in Europe next season.

 

I'm still on the optimistic bus :thumbup:

You must be driving it on your own back to the depot.
