25 minutes...

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Still not had my programme so not point watching it. Bastards

 

[Blue Maniac]

I haven’t sat down all day*, I’m so ****ing nervous about this. I’ve run out of things to clean, do in the garden and laundry. I’m going to have to sit down soon and accept that this is happening.

*not a result of piles or bumming before one of you says something hilarious

Because of

oh never mind

Interesting to see if we continue to be as naive as we have been recently against Chelsea today by playing a high line. Timo Werner will be a massive headache if we do...

BBC just made the same point.
That’s it. We’re done.
no point watching.

Even if we get spanked.... please baby Jebus, let Vardy score. He deserves a cup final goal more than anyone else on that pitch.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

We have to get the balance right. They will probably dominate possession anyway and we can be good at counter attacking ourselves. Chelsea have much more big game experience than us and Luke Thomas is just inexperienced in general so will need help. We can't be leaving acres of space today of all days.

One on you tit-wanking mothafucking bastards

I love you

 

[Graz]

Just back from the pub with beers for the fridge.

Listened to any radio coverage I could find on the way home for the last hour.

So ****ing ready! So excited!

Let's make this our cup final!

Congrats and well done to all the TB'ers lucky enough to be there!

 

[pork pie fox]

Man I’m shitting it now.

 

[Graz]

The return of Evans is HUGE!

Maddison on the bench is a ****ing big bollocks call from Rodgers. Massive decision. Hope its the right one! Perez maybe works a bit harder these days. I think get him keeping Kante busy, so we free up Youri.

I expected Maddison to star but otherwise the rest is spot on.

I just hope we stay in this long enough to make it a battle

 

[Micky]

Feel calm and immensely proud of my club. Enjoy it, whatever the outcome.

 

[Orifice]

My heart rate is shifting up and up.
Can't cope.

 

[Graz]

I am shaking and have goosebumps all over already.

So excited for this moment

 

[Willlow]

Good luck everyone!

 

[parafox]

AAAAAH!

 

[MerseyFox]

Come on Leicester 5th time lucky
Maybe the second event in my time supporting Leicester City I thought would never happen!

 

[glyn]

We’re just about to play an FA Cup final.

I just told my daughters about players putting the lid of the cup on the top of their head. That needs to be Vardy in two hours.

come on Leicester!

 

[tedfoxxx]

I am not remotely looking forward to this

I do take some comfort though in knowing that if we lose to Chelsea, it’ll be such an unremarkable thing that Chelsea won another FA Cup that it’ll seldom be mentioned again in the media. If it was a real club like Everton or Leeds I’d be ****ing bricking it because losing to them would be so much more painful in the long term.

My sphincter is going like a bastard.
