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

Mainly because most people on twitter are 12 year old, sociopaths, keyboard soldiers, or all 3. He obviously has no malice, he just wants to win against his mates and old team, otherwise he will get no end of stick.

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. 

 

I echo this sentiment massively

Just to let you all know I'm in the "feeling sick" phase of nerves for tomorrow (and wondering if I should just start drinking now...)

I’m on the wine and have 18 cans of beer in the fridge. It’s the only way through this.

Anyone in the Birmingham / West Miss area: A couple of us will be cheering at The Waggon and Horses, Old Hill. Lots of exterior screens and courtyard. And great beer.

I've got that feeling, that we are going to Win the FA Cup; let's do the absolute double, over Chelsea come on you Fearless Foxes 

[Tielemans63]

I feel sick and it's 22 hours away for crying out loud. There's part of me that just wants to see the final score without having to put myself through 90 minutes of torture  Pathetic, I know.

Classic FM now playing 'Abide with Me' 

They played Handel's 'Zadok the Priest' about 30 minutes ago, it's a sign.

I believe Zadok the priest inspired the champs league theme am I right?

 

abide with me is a banger man. Even better now it’s my team going to be there for it

[Spudulike]

I'm getting in the zone. Hope the players are.

I was like the Tuesday night. I'm really starting to feel the nerves now. Doesn't help that none of us been to a football match for 14 months either. I so can't wait to get to the stadium tomorrow, walk to my seat and just take it all in, try and appreciate it before the nerves get the better of me

Yes, you are right about Zadok the priest. 

Yes, it will be nice to hear 'Abide with Me'

I can't remember the last FA Cup final I watched.  

 

[Dahnsouff]

Sounds like Agent Ngolo and Kovacic are back

I've watched every FA Cup final since 1969 apart from the one when Wigan beat ManC. Only on the telly, never been to one (yet).

I've invited a few friends round. Will be a tad ironic when they're watching it on my TV and I'm outside walking round the garden!

 

Congrats on getting a ticket. Enjoy the occasion!

wow...that is properly impressive.

Shame you can't get there tomorrow, right?

Which one is your favourite so far?

[Guest Electric Yetis]

My 10 year old keeps playing Abide with Me on Spotify.

 

He'd never heard of it til I played it to him a few weeks ago, now I'm pretty sure it'll be his most played song of the year 🤣

Has anyone found anywhere reliable to get a programme from online. Couldn't get in the city shop today. Que massive.

Not enough priority points. Going to the Tottenham match though. 

 

Most memorable ones: Chelsea vs Leeds (plus replay), Arsenal vs Liverpool (Charlie George), Sunderland vs Leeds ('73). Didn't like the Cardiff finals, don't think they should count. 

 

I was brought up on family stories about cup finals (especially involving City). Grandad left me ticket stubs from 1927 and 1929 finals.

Not too nervous here. It’s history tomorrow and I’m looking forward to being in a communal environment again. 

 

I feel more for the older generation whom those final before it must really, really mean something
