This is all very new to all of us.
There are four games left in the title run-in and the Premier League table has never looked stranger.
Chelsea are out of sight, United might as well be and Liverpool are sure to be ready next year – again.
Man City and Arsenal are stumbling over the line with a whimper and it’s left to Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur to battle it out for the honour of winning what they call the toughest league in the world.
(‘They’ being English people)
But neither of them have been here before. We’re talking about Leicester City – 2014 Championship winners. And we’re talking about Spurs who haven’t won a league of any sort in 55 years.
So, naturally, the fans don’t know how to react. They’re top of the table, they’re chasing the title and they don’t have one clue about what way to behave. They don’t know who to hate, they don’t even know what they should be aiming for – even at this late stage.
And it’s making for fascinating viewing for the neutral who are also trying to weigh in.
United fans show how far they’ve fallen.
Dream big.

But everyone’s rooting for Leicester apparently.
I am pretty sure all football fans (excluding spurs fans) are behind Leicester. I really hope they can do it! ⚽️ #LCFC

Spurs don’t care – they have their own priorities taken care of.
"Are you watching Arsenal?" chant the Spurs supporters. Almost more important than the title chase to many Tottenham fans

They’re still battling for fourth*.
*To be ahead of Arsenal.
Are you watching Arsenal? #THFC

And Leicester fans are still battling to be crowned king of the midlands.
Who cares about the league, look how sh*t Villa are.
Can just imagine Villa and Forest arguing who has the bigger history next season 😂😂

Top of the league… still looking at the bottom of it.
Imagine turning #lcfc down to go to Villa..well Veretout, that turned out well! What a jackass! 😂

Everyone’s just getting along.
Fair play to Leicester.
I'm happy with the season so far, would be great to win the title but Leicester are playing great. If we are above arsenal I'm happy. #COYS

Come on you Spurs Leicester.
Leicester are basically unstoppable. It's weird being a Spurs fan and being this close to the title but I'm actually happy for them #COYS

Spurs fans almost apologising for keeping pace at the top.
Sorry Leicester but we couldn’t resist beating United.

Who cares about silverware?
It’s all about the performance.
Even if we don't win the league, Spurs have been an absolute joy to watch this season. #COYS

Frantic calculations.
“You’d take that” – the Leicester favourite.

They’ve gotten their 40 points after all.

But most of them are hedging their bets.
Even if we don't we don't win the Premiership, I will be sooooo proud of my team !!!! #LCFC #wildestdreams #ltid #bluearmy #fearless

And the mutual respect for their rivals continue.

This is more like it.
Bitterness. Jealousy. Hated. Have at it, lads. This is war.
Right, so Spurs can get Kevin Friend removed cause he is a #LCFC but we can't do anything about Jonathan Moss for being a BUFFOON.

BRING. IT. ON.
Spurs fans: "Leicester City we're coming for you"
JUST BRING IT!#lcfc #Ranieri pic.twitter.com/bwP5aNNcqO

Wait, what?
Fair play, incredible performance from Spurs. Good luck to both Leicester and Tottenham in the title race, both deserve it
