Leicester City's push for the Premier League title just won't die.

The world watched agog as the Leicester juggernaut rolled on with another win to put them further ahead at the top of the table. Claudio Ranieri's men put Watford to the sword with a 1-0 win thanks to Riyad Mahrez's tidy finish at Vicarage Road. That's the Foxes five points clear at the top going into the final run of nine games. This baffling chimera-made-real has been going on since August, but the good people of the internet were still stunned. Everyone is willing them on to do the impossible. https://twitter.com/charlieskillen/status/706201061216919552 https://twitter.com/francis_maxwell/status/706200976437305344 https://twitter.com/johncrossmirror/status/706198221756964864 https://twitter.com/MataSonic/status/706204301190758401 Well, almost everybody. Arsenal fans aren't enjoying it at all. After they beat Leicester 2-1 it looked like the tables might just have tipped in their favour - especially after Ranieri's side drew 2-2 with West Brom midweek. But after watching Arsenal draw at Spurs and then seeing Leicester pull away with an inspired 1-0 victory at Watford, there was only one conclusion some fans could come to. https://twitter.com/ElSpanishGooner/status/706193528590897153 https://twitter.com/ArsenalAbroad/status/706196057613582336 https://twitter.com/Rickyinho_/status/706198346906673152 https://twitter.com/IamASYRAFK/status/706197310200373249 https://twitter.com/Giroudesque/status/706195746924732418 https://twitter.com/afcantti/status/706197880592318464 Obviously there's no actual evidence whatsoever of this actually being the case - other than a well-drilled Leicester getting more points than Wenger's hit-and-miss side. But who needs the truth when you've got a good conspiracy theory?
