The FA Cup Final, I mean. But more to the point, we have another potential challenger to our title of 'Last Midland club to have won the FA Cup'.
I posted a similar thread a couple of years back when a bunch of jokers from B6 tried to wrestle that title from us - didn't end very well as I recall.
Local 'rivalry' aside, I think Lestoh are a very decent side and from a 'neutrals' point it pleases me to see as entertaining a team as them in the final to contribute towards what I think will be a great game.
But do we want them to win and thus topple us or would we rather see the champagne rich, Kremlin Kickers triumph?
Alternately, does anybody give a flying monkey's?

Wouldn’t be bothered with them winning at all.

The whole ‘Last midlands team...’ thing doesn’t seem worth much to me.

lifeskyblue · May 14, 2021

Couldn’t really care ...but as I live in Leicester I suppose i hope they don’t get a hammering. Wouldn’t be able to chat with neighbours without laughing

Admittedly, I don't think the club receives royalties from it but surely it's 'worth' something?
Last team in stripes too.

‘Worth’ as in Birmingham were the last Midlands team to win the league cup. Not as popular as FA Cup, but still nobody is really bothered. Good for a pub quiz but that’s probably about it.

I don't care about the last Midlands club thing, our "rivals" already think we're embarrassing and that's just giving them more ammo

You're trying to compare the worlds oldest football knockout cup competition with another that started in 1960 and didn't even merit a Wembley final until 1967?
Good god, man.

Or taking it away from them?

Missed point entirely.

oscillatewildly · May 14, 2021

If you don't support either team I would imagine it is human nature to root for the 'underdog'. However, I wonder if the underdog has ever gone into the final currently holding a higher league position than their 'favourite' opponents?

Fuck Leicester, I hope they suffer a hammering tomorrow and on Tuesday.

That's more like it!

Hmmm. I don't know - Maybe it's got something to do with the last time the cup was won by a Midlands team

Sky_Blue_Daz · May 14, 2021

I’ve had a few quid on Tielemans first goal and Leicester to win 3-2 I’m in for 3k if it comes in

lordy_87 · May 14, 2021

Up the Chels!

Terry Gibson's perm · May 14, 2021

Chelsea all the way for me I don’t want to see the knicker stitchers win any game.

Covstu · May 14, 2021

I think what is the most disappointing is that both teams play each other again mid week which is probably a more important game.

Covstu · May 14, 2021

Dirty 1-0 Leicester win

rob9872 · May 15, 2021

Difficult.

Caught between wanting Chelsea to be trophy less and finish 5th after this Sky Tuchel love in and wanting Incester to lose horribly.

Hopefully some kind of terrorist scare and the game never takes place.

Tommo1993 · May 15, 2021

Don’t like either, so it really doesn’t matter.

SomersetSB · May 15, 2021

Any Chelsea win that’ll do, a 3 or 4 would be nice!!

LastGarrison · May 15, 2021

Come on Chelsea!

LastGarrison · May 15, 2021

With Maddison on the bench and likely to come on at some point has a Coventry born player ever won the FA Cup?

Thinking through the ‘87 team and none of them were Cov lads were they?

Closest you’ll get is Peake.

Ccfcisparks · May 15, 2021

Booing the knee then?

Tommo1993 · May 15, 2021

Chelski’s new home kit is shit.

Liquid Gold · May 15, 2021

As if Leicester are actually booing Chelsea in possession. I thought they couldn't get any more tin pot than those clappers.

Including booing Kanté, the stand out reason they fluked their title win. Embarrassing.

Came on to mention this. Enjoy the day. Why boo everything. Lack of class. Alonso being targeted a lot?

Liquid Gold · May 15, 2021

IS it just because fans are there or is the intensity through the roof?

Wyken Sky Blue · May 15, 2021

Been a good start to the game, better than a tactical stalemate that we've seen too often this season

Werner is free at around 25-30 yards EVERY time. One of his shots will go in.

Ian1779 · May 15, 2021

Heard an obscure fact on the radio this morning that Jamie Vardy is the only player to have ever played in every single round of the FA cup from very first qualifying round up to the final. 14 rounds in total.

Hope so as I’m on him first goal scorer and Chelsea to win 2-0.
