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.

And so the journey continues. At this point last season they were bottom 7 points adrift. Astounding. #Leicester pic.twitter.com/LA788AYWeJ

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.
We're in March and Leicester have only used 18 players in the whole league, no serious injuries. Why has nobody talked about doping yet?

If Leicester have been doping fair play to them. Big fan of winning at all costs.

Leicester have only used 18 players all season. Injuries been rare and Kante just recovered a hamstring injury in 4 days. Doping confirmed.

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?
