You pretty much finish where you deserve to over 38 games.
Had we been in Spurs' place and collapsed to let them overtake us then I very much doubt you'd be saying that they were 'lucky' to finish 2nd and we were 'unlucky' to finish 3rd. The season is 38 games long, we finished 2nd.
But anyway, as Maccy said this thread is about Vardy - let's talk about him and that potential signing rather than you just using this as another platform for your ongoing whineathon.
