Nothing like a hot sunny FA Cup final day in May. And this is nothing like a hot sunny FA Cup final day in May.

The steward on our bus is on the media team and she says Jonny starts. 

With 5 subs allowed, and a 6th in extra time if needed, it's not so much of a gamble.

I’m not sure if anyone is aware, however we’ve had 9 games against Chelsea in the FA Cup.
 

We’ve not won a single one.

This has been the season for us to win games we seldom do. Get in

Time to avenge those defeats, especially the one where they cheated us with a blatant dive, yes I hold a grudge for a long long time 😂

I don’t see it myself, but my wife quite likes him. 

I've heard he's not up against tough opposition there though 

[Duquesne Whistle]

He's with us in spirit today. At least he's redressed some of the financial balance by spending his wages in the club shop.

FF sitting in Leicester end at Wembley, looks like a goody bag from the club next to the seats. 

[Eskay]

I'm finally buzzing now. Played 18 holes this morning at 7am. Now back. Shower. Lunch. Beer. On tube to wembo !! Let's do this !!! 

[Jack1993]

For those of you that haven’t been to a game for over a year and are travelling to Wembley today PLEASE remember your voices & choice of words can have serious repercussions & a lot of those Chelsea players are only young lads themselves, so jump on them early,  crush their confidence and let’s come home with a win ayy!

All of us that are going today need to be abusing Chilwell. No sentiment.

Forgot it was 5 subs, good point. Wouldn't put it past a Chelsea **** to go for Evans Heel, reminds me of an old Cloughie trick at Forest (although harder to do in this instance), rumour had spread about a players injury leading up to a big game (they used to have those apparently) so he sent him out with his good leg bandaged and the opposition were hacking away at it all match ignoring the dodgy one

That sentence works well as alternative lyrics to “Wheels On the Bus”:

 

The steward on the bus is on the media team

The media team, the media team

The steward on the bus is on the media team

And she says Johnny staaaarts

Sounds a bit daft. The player would end up with both legs ****ed!!

Except you're risking him aggravating it and being unavailable for an even bigger game next week.  It's hard to leave him out for myriad and obvious reasons, but by no means is it risk-free.

Yeah, I think he was pissed when he came up with that cunning plan!
