FA Cup Final pre match thread (Chelsea)

[Ecdysiast]

Any london-based Foxes watching in a pub?

Taking all the pain today so that tomorrow balances it out.

Had a root canal filling done and a £400 service bill for my car. Surely that is enough to equal a cup final win?

 

I was nine years old last time we were in the FA cup final. i cried - a lot. 52 years later and i really do not want anyone seeing a fully grown man break out in tears, unless they are ones of joy.

Fridge is primed with beers for during the game and a bottle of fizzy hopefully to be opened around 7.00pm.

Just hope it doesn't go to pens. I will be hiding behind the sofa with a cushion over my head.

There have been some big games and moments in all that time, play offs, league cups, relegations, promotions and the run in in 2016 but i am starting to think that this is probably the biggest of the lot during my time.

Keep the faith, COYB and do yourselves, the whole of the city and in particular, "the Boss" proud.

just a couple more hours at work and then can start really getting excited about this.

 

Cup Final day and we're in it! 

 

Can't wait to hear "Abide With Me" - every time I heared it at the Cup Final, I always dreamed one day it might be us.

 

Fantastic. Getting my stuff sorted tonight - you know -  ticket, covid test result, mask, sanitiser, silver dagger, rabbits foot, clove of garlic

 

Buzzing!

 

I am not kern on abide with me.  It is a very sad tune.  I think it suited the survivor guilt post ww 2.

I would prefer a less Christian sing along

I remember being in Hollywood one weekend and there was a 5:30 game on in England which kicked off a 9:30 in Hollywood. Found a sports bar and was drinking by myself watching the game. I managed to do all 10 guest lagers during the game while talking to a bar man that I'm sure was not at all interested in my footballing opinions

 

Is it a 12:15pm kick off in NY? A solid 3 hours pre gaming

 

Haha, well done! 😂

 

The place where we watch here in NY is expected to be at capacity well before kick off, so we can’t take any chances...

This really feels a bit sad without fans. Cup final day should have a packed Wembley. I wanna hear the fans roar when the ball hit the back of the net, not Luke Thomas screaming "whooooow".

Form guide... the idea they are some invincible juggernaut is a fallacy. Very good team on their day, but so are we. 

You're not helping.

You're thinking too hard.

 

[RonnieTodger]

Can't focus on work. I've watched about 9 different renditions of Abide With Me this afternoon.

[Webbo]

This will go down in history as the Vardy Final. Mark my words, they'll be talking about this game for years. 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

I am worried about N'Golo Kante, I think he's fit and will play tomorrow

[dynamark]

Met three mates at lunch and they all have tickets!!!    aaaarrgh

[Yes]

I’m not sure I see the problem with this that others on Twitter do

[Jon the Hat]

It’ll be half time this time tomorrow!! Aaargh!!

Was driving back up north today and all of a sudden it hit me

 

HOLY **** WE'RE IN THE FA CUP FINAL TOMORROW

 

Ever take a step back and think how mad supporting us has got over the past decade? Lunacy. I love it.

[Beechey]

Oof the COVID test was grim 

[Finnaldo]

Anyone know of any pubs in town with some capacity left?

Hopefully the Ethylene Oxide swab was worth it and they do you proud 👍🏻

[FoxyJim1987]

Just had a quick look on Chelsea's forum and found this. This is why I love supporting Leicester. The money has made Chelsea so successful, the more they win the less significant it becomes. A club like ours, each massive final, or triumph feels even more special and elevated. This tosser can't even remember their final wins there's been so many. Let's hand them a loss they won't forget for a long time.

Hopefully our performance isn’t as sterile as those swabs 

[Pliskin]

Can we get programs from the stadium? Mrs grandad wants one?
