Hats off to Leicester, very well done.
Whilst I might be wrong here, it seams to me that, unlike for example the team they have just beaten that
1) The Leicester owner/s style is to remain in the background and avoid headlines / controversy. As an example I bet a lot more people can name the owner of the team they just beat versus the owner/s of Leicester
2) Leicester appear to be a club who manage finances from a realistic standpoint and do not continually spend millions and millions on players and have a revolving door of managers unlike the team they just beat
3) Leicester appear to be a club who value fans and opposed the ESL, which is also unlike the team they just beat
Well done Leicester
That said, born in Salford, I hope Chelsea rebound from this and beat City in the CL final.
I thought Fofana had a great game as well.
Oh well, another big game on Tuesday and then again following Saturday.
Coming thick and fast.
Off to bleed my brakes now LOL!
Would love to but just cannot see it myselfJust make sure your lot win the CL final, otherwise ban yourself for 90 days
That was closed as a one in a million-year occurrence .. but they are one of the big boys in that they can and do win the big prizesI think Leicester proved that when they won the PL, no?
I'd always a take a F.A cup win over getting top 4,far more joy for me in celebrating a cup win,than a some satisfaction in finishing 4thWhat's the obsession of getting CL over a trophy? Plus, if you win the CL then you qualify anyway.
No real controversy this time, he was offside.It looked like a perfectly timed run from Chilwell, but obviously it wasn't. He will have to do better next time.

You can never remember few years down the line how you got champions league, unless you won the title,but you can always remember the Cup win many years down the line
By current PL/VAR standards yes, but decisions like this need to be got rid of. In terms of feet position he was onside. As an attacking player with forward momentum towards the goal the upper body naturally leans forward in the direction of travel, whereas the defenders with back to goal, and facing where the attack was coming from, back of heel was the closest measurable body part. And because VAR thinks you can score a goal with your shoulder it’s deemed as suitable to draw the line from. This is all on top of the science that proves that the distance a professional athlete travels versus the ball based on what is captured on 50fps footage is a false measurement.No real controversy this time, he was offside.
WhateverVAR gave a helping hand today
Handball ignored for Leicester’s goal
And then rules out our equaliser
Mainly down to the owners ,PL in trying to make finishing 4th a trophy .That’s a very good point and never looked at it like that.
I guess a lot of the preference for CL stems from money with clubs (owners / managers) believing the CL will, longer term provide more money to enable them to become a bigger / more successful team v the benefits an FA Cup victory.
Not just that though, as a fan you want your club to compete, and CL money is big compared to not getting it, so got to think about that too.Mainly down to the owners ,PL in trying to make finishing 4th a trophy .
It’s not about being top 4. It’s about being in the CL the following year, to be able to win it and to be able to attract the players in the transfers seasons.Mainly down to the owners ,PL in trying to make finishing 4th a trophy .
Don't think any Leicester fan that went to Wembley today and saw that match would swap that FA Cup win for top 4

Ofcourse I’d like us to have won the FA Cup. Goes without saying. But I was just making the point that if it’s between CL next year and FA cup this, having won many FA Cups in recent times, I’d prefer the CL position.
If people don’t agree, that’s fine. That’s their opinion as mine is mine.
I’m curious about how you chose your username ?Although he seems like a nice guy, judging by that performance and the Arsenal one, I wonder if we've seen peak Tüchel already? The new Avram Grant lol.
I don't particularly rate Tammy Abraham, but freezing him out of the squad hasn't exactly worked. Nor did playing Arrizabalaga.
By VAR standards, it was clear and obvious, so that is what VAR all intention is, to get those decisions right.. just a pity they get so many others wrong.By current PL/VAR standards yes, but decisions like this need to be got rid of.
