How is everyone feeling?

[Crinklyfox]

My wife told me she thought I had a heart attack when Youri scored (she was out of the room at the time but I woke the street).  I only really lost it later when Kasper brought Top down from the stands to hold the Cup and I still well up when I think about it now.  Still glowing.

For those who were at Wembley in the 90s… better than this modern crap music they play these days at Wembley

Driving my son to football this morning, Radio Leicester played this, Simply The Best, We Are The Champions etc

 

Not embarrassed to admit I drove through Oadby with it full blast.

We've had a stadium tour booked since Xmas, for obvious reasons, it hasn't happened yet.

 

Blessing in disguise. 

 

I hope me and the boy can get a photo with the FA Cup when they start doing them again.

 

Has anyone else been on one? Would it be likely to have an opportunity to do this?

Feeling as though I want the world of football to stop as of yesterday evening. Of course, I know it won't but to savour this victory will be top of my priorities for some time to come.

Doesn't get much better 👍

Did you keep the FA Cup from the Leicester City Trivia competition? 

Hell yes! I even lifted it in the stadium

Loved the fact this came on. A song I associate with Leicester success!

That was some moment. That's what makes us so special I think. It wasn't rehearsed or sucking up to the boss (like it might be with other clubs) - it was genuine, heartfelt, moving. 

 

The interactions between the players, manager, chairman and staff were so warm and just genuine respect.

 

I've had messages from friends and family all over the place - my cousin is a die hard United fan of many decades (all the way back to George Best) and she says she wept tears of joy. Family who support Leeds and Liverpool sending congratulations messages with just the kindest words. It actually meant something to them too.

 

The stadium yesterday was supercharged with emotion. I'll never forget it

I don’t think anyone except Chelsea supporters wanted them to win yesterday. People can relate to us because we are different, more genuine and haven’t just bought success like some.

Whole of last week distracted by the prospect of winning the FA Cup. Now distracted this week in the buzz of actually winning it 

[Jimothy]

For some reason, whenever I watch the highlights, which I've done many times, the moment Guy Mowbray says "For the first time, for the first time ever" on the BBC commentary I get a lump in my throat. So many moments could hit me, the goal, the trophy lift, I just think those words emphasise how long we've waited for this.

I'm still hanging but **** me man, I'd love to hear from the lot who wanted top 4 over that. I'm so buzzing man

You’d have to be some sort of serious sad act if you’d take celebrating 3rd or 4th in the league over that!

[deejdeej]

Still rough, I'm about to start a 10 hour shift at work and have no idea how I'll get through it!

starting to think that little wes needs some guidance on social media use after his soumare input the other night  ......

Whoever posted the video of that playful, in the moment action by Amartey needs a talking to. 

Little Wes was doing a live video and promptly ended it in fairness and someone watching recorded and reposted it, so I can’t see how you can lay any blame or criticism at him for that.

Yeah. Millwall blaring it out at full-time the other year had tainted it for me but hearing it at Wembley on Saturday brought the good memories flooding back.

We did one a few years back now, it was led by the Birch and we absolutely loved it. The trophies were in the cabinet, as you'd expect, but we were allowed to take photos of them

Unfortunate then ….

[David Guiza]

Feels a bit like the aftermath of a night out where you keep remembering different elements from the night before and reminiscing.

 

So many intricate details, aside from the obvious moments, like the marching band playing The Post-Horn Gallop and the infamous Abide With Me, to looking back over Wembley after finally leaving the car park to see the arch lit in blue and white (even if it did look a little turquoise) 

[STUHILL]

I know I shouldn't feel so content, as we still have a huge game tomorrow for UCL but I just feel like Leicester have ticked those boxes that I always dreamed of. Winning the Premier League, having a UCL adventure when we got to the quarter finals and now FA Cup winners. Absolute dream land and I will be forever grateful for what this club has given us and no doubt will continue to. Treasure these days everyone, it doesn't get much better! 

[Ric Flair]

Hungover still, anxiety through the roof but we're the FA Cup winners at last. Incredible.

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

I have done no work now since last Wednesday - today was another write off spending my time on this forum, watching the goal and youtube videos. Watched the entire second half again during my well deserved lunch break. I dont see how I can work tomorrow with the Chelsea game. 

 

I also dont see how I will get my attention back over the next couple of weeks. Regardless of what happens because:

 

- If we win and make top4, I'll be elated and checking this forum constantly for our champions league signings and re-watching videos of the cup run/league season.

-If we lose, I'll be drowning my sorrows in re-runs of the cup final. 

 

What I am trying to say is....well I dont actually have a point to this post except that I wanted to talk to you beautiful foxes fans again cos we won the BASTARD FA CUP!!! WAHEY! What a feeling. 

[bovril]

Just want to do it all over again.

Was a real downer over the Newcastle game but Man Utd lifted the mood significantly.

 

I wasn't all that nervous about the occasion beforehand in all honesty. We've won a lot in my lifetime so this was a free hit. I was more anxious about something like the 4 playoff sagas from between 1994 and 2013 and of course the league title and Champions League. The anticipation for it started to build on Friday. It's a bit like over here in Ireland with the All Ireland GAA Finals in Croke Park.

 

Never felt like I'd be saying it this time last week but Saturday was so magical that I'm not going to be as disappointed as I thought I would be if we miss out on top 4. Should we get there it would be incredible.

 

The clubs close to us have had a dire time of it since 2010 with Aston Villa,Birmingham, Forest/County, Coventry, Derby all declining. Their loss has been our gain.

 

Looking back at the 3-2 win at Forest in 2013 it was the greatest sliding doors moment in our history. Had we lost that it was curtains for Big Nige, the title win never happens and possibly Vardy, Mahrez, Kante et al fade into obscurity. As it was Forest and Bolton fade away and we go from strength to strength.

 

Since Pearson took the reigns in 2008 after a horrible 7 years it's just been almost everything you could hope for Apart from 2010-11. Disappointments along the way but it's all been worth it.
