That was the point I convinced myself it was gone. A Chelsea equaliser and extra time against a visibly past it Morgan.....Brendan putting Wes Morgan on was sheer class. It could have gone horribly wrong. No wonder the players love him. Brilliant management.

**** me for being so pessimistic.
I was born 3 months before the 49 final. Don't remember a f*cking thingWas born 5 months after the 49 do - 61, 63 and 69 still hurt. All hurt now gone - thank you for making an old sod happy.
There are 2 Kantes and now a bunch of Kaspers...Kasper made an unbelievable save....but he's worth so much more than hia ability as a footballer. He's a smashing bunch of lads.
I thought Fofana was absolutely ****ing outstanding.I can finally type a reasonable response. But what else is there to say?
Im going for a view on the game itself first...
I said at half time it was going to plan, and I still believe that. I think we executed the gameplan to a tee.
Youri, Thomas, Schmeichel, Ndidi all fantastic. Vardy had his best game in a while too. Fofana and Soyuncu didn't look their best but also let very little past them.
How far have we come though? I actually love the way we won. Obviously we've never come this before. But if we had, or when we won other games in the past, it mightve been scrappy and shinned in. Doesn't take away the feeling, but there would be an air of bumbling our way through.
But this. This was sheer class that won it. The big clubs win game, win trophies, based on moments of brilliance. We had that from Youri. And we had that from Kasper.
Brilliant. Lovely. Emotional. ****ing fantastic.
We deserved that.
