Yeah shalke have moved up recently, I know Leicester were about 24th before they won the league and moved up a bit after that. Made me look up when they played Porto in the following years champions league and were made out to be minnows when they dwarfed Porto financially (porto were about 70th on the list at the time.)

Same here, as my late father was a lifelong Leicester follower.
Yep, the misses’ family all come from there and the brother in law attended the 69 final with a load of her relatives. I actually couldn’t care a less, but will have to show willing as she’s doing the tea 😃

Over simplifying and under romanticising.
Leicester are 5 times losers in FA Cup final, last appeared 1969.
Are they really 20th richest club in the world? Source? Richer EPL clubs not in the final - Arsenal, Manure, Liverpool, Spurs, Newcastle?, West Ham?I
I'll take a Leicester win for now and until it becomes boring.
Excellent post.
In addition to which - Leicester have a good owner & Chairman, are a Club with the kind of values we've always held dear ourselves, and whose place in the Prem we should be aspiring to emulate - we did get to 5th in the Prem 20 years ago after all, even if times have changed.

almost passing unnoticed now
no longer the prestige end to the season
I'm actually really enjoying it, including the build up - 'Abide With Me' etc. - first time in many years I've done so. This year feels different, quite emotional, a first break out from jail following lockdowns, yay!
Wonderful to have a crowd back in the stadium making proper noise!

Leicester all the way for me!
Knew a couple of big Leicester fans at uni and know this will be one of the biggest days of their lives. I'd imagine most Chelsea fans aren't that bothered about the FA Cup nowadays and know there'll be another one along soon enough if they do lose

Great stuff. Nice to see the FA Cup mean so much to the winners. Lovely to see the fans back. Schmeichel, feckin hell, what a save.
Can understand MotM going to the goalscorer for an absolute cracker of a winner, but Schmeicel must have come within a gnat's whisker of getting it - how many worldie saves did he make - 4? 🤔
Really pleased for Leicester as I see them playing the same role we did under Sir Bobby, but tainted by var for me. It sat hiding in wait for 85 minutes then the dreaded lines came out to prove nothing about an offside decision. Bin it now.

Looked offside to these naked eyes as well. Only fractionally, but in a cup final, getting it right in the end matters particularly.
Level with an arm offside. Appreciate that rule has changed as well.
If we have to have var with offside, make it onside if level and level means any overlap of bodies. Must be daylight between to disallow. Then if chalked off you don’t feel cheated.
