Leicester have a few demons among angels
KADEEM SIMMONDS looks at the indiscretions of some of the Foxes players

Following Tottenham’s draw on Monday night, the Premier League is all but over. I don’t want to jinx Leicester by saying they have won the title but not even a Steven Gerrard or John Terry slip could prevent them from completing the fairy tale.

Over the next few months, we will see a host of tribute pieces from journalists who will tell you that they never saw this coming (which they didn’t) but it couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of players.

I take issue with that. I don’t want to be the grinch and burst the bubble but let’s face facts, some of the players who don the blue of Leicester have been in a spot of bother.
