Genuinely struggling to sleep this week. Keeps hitting me that we could actually win this 

Wouldn't it be great if it finished Leicester 3 Chelsea 2, and Vardy with a hat-trick?!

My heart would prefer 3-0 and Vardy with a hat-trick  

 

If we are holding onto a 1 goal lead to win the FA Cup, I will not make it to the end.

Haha, fair enough!

 

Leicester join a list of recent finalists who have waited a long time for their moment.

 

Starting with Stoke City in their first in 2011, and the same for Wigan (2013) and Hull City (2014). Crystal Palace (2016) had waited 26 years and Watford (2019) had waited 35 years, and of course for Leicester it's 52 years.

 

Hopefully over the next few seasons we see the likes of Leeds, Newcastle, Wolves, Burnley, Norwich get there, too.

Oh man do we need a vintage Vardy goal scoring performance even if its just for one day please let it be Saturday. He needs it, we need it the football world needs it.

Hope we've got some flames track jackets on show tomorrow when we come out the tunnel.

3-1 Leicester. Vardy and Nacho with a brace 

[BirminghamFox]

This cup final will be remembered as the VARDY final…

 

They will then release the story of Jamie Vardy blockbuster movie

technical; questions  -is the wemb[ey pitch bigger  than KP, can the lads see each other in maroon(red on green and red seals) and how did Top get to travel ) presume he did the neccesary

[FoxesWalk]

Tuchel confirms that Kepa will start in the final...

 

Our forwards must be licking their lips at the prospect.

Yes, Wembley is the biggest pitch in the world, with a length of approximately 6.8 miles. Tom (as my wife calls him) can do what he likes, he's the king of Leicester and Thailand. Each player will have laser eye surgery on the morning of the game in conjunction with match day sponsor SpecSavers, meaning they will have 30 30 vision and will be able to see maroon shirts from 10 miles away.

A quick search shows Wembley is the same length as the KP (105m) and 1m wider (at 69m).

saw a rumour that Kante is a doubt for the final - achiles injury?

 

N'Golo Kante

Calf/Shin/Heel Injury

May 12: "N'Golo [was left out] for pain management. He has pain in the Achilles and he suffers from that. There was no chance [he could make the game]."

im trying so hard to concentrate, i promise. but in between calls i just need to see what the feeling is at foxestalk.

 

all i can think about is tomorrow

[RowlattsFox]

It will be shit for Evans to miss the game but at the very least we need him fit for Tuesday. My worry with starting him is the potential for extra time, 5 subs helps if he breaks down but it's going to be a tough choice.

Brendan has said before even if he is 80% Evans is the kind of player you don’t leave out

 

I think it is very likely he will play tomorrow

Who receives the gifts in the post, the clapper and the badge etc.? I received nothing but my brother who isn't attending the game got the pack, we're both ST holders.

 

Just confused is all

My boys arrived the day after mine but for one of the home gifts mid season/early lockdown we only received one. Postal systems not the most reliable though and there were loads.going out together so easy pickings.

[Ric Flair]

Why do I keep thinking of Jamie Vardy and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up?

 

This is all set up for him, it sums his career up to a tee. Written off, chaotic and filled with reasons why it won't happen. 

 

The man is made of something else, his recent dip in form is probably doing something deep within that will make him reach extraordinary levels tomorrow as that's the sort of complex character he is. 22k fans will get the port and red bull flowing through his veins an'all.

 

He will be bang on it.
