What a day it was. 

 

I hope nobody ever mentions that the value of the FA Cup has been lost.

Or how finishing fourth in the league would be more important each season. Don't dare try and tell me those players would have enjoyed that more - and certainly not any supporters.

 

I don't want to sound too up ourselves but I really hope Saturday sparks something in other fans of similar-sized clubs to us who year on year bottle the Cups. They should all demand their managers go for it every year seeing the time we're having right now. Credit to Rodgers and his desire for trophies - he knows what'll make him go down in history.

I know Under was MIA, but was Praet there? Can't remember seeing him

Is the dude in the suit not Under in the picture of Top raising the cup?

No I think that's Sando the player's welfare officer. I looked at all the pictures on Gettys images and didn't see Under?

No, some random. No idea why Under wouldn't go, as if injured you'd still travel like the others did. He's more part of the squad than KDH and he was there. Rodgers said today that he is "unsure" on Under being available for tomorrow. Also, no mention on his social media about our win. All a bit odd IMO.

Under was there. 

[Blarmy]

Sounds like Under is over. It’s ok though, I’m over Under.

Exactly. My thread got deleted but I was trying to make that point Saturday was a superb day start to finish, electric, and simply only finishing in the top 4 doesn't provide that. Also, players just want to win trophies, look at the emotion in the faces of our players having won it. Even pre match Kasper was talking about the excitement of playing in a Cup final. That's what it's all about.

 

Trophies are history. We can say in 10/20/50 years time how we won it. Also we become part of the small set of clubs (about 14 I believe) who have won the top flight, FA Cup and league cup which is incredible.

 

Honestly your point about other clubs is true. If Wigan can do it, at the time just a bottom half squad, then anybody can. That's no direspect intended I'm talking from a positive and inspired point.

Same, not quite with it today.

[Livid]

Obviously I want us to qualify for the CL, but ultimately the game is played to win things.

 

I know there's an awful lot of money involved in CL qualification but Saturday's win not only showcased the club winning but also shone the spotlight on what a class outfit we are in front of an audience of billions.

 

I think Saturday has done more for the image of the club around the world than a few European Nights with a choice of TV games being played at the same time will ever do.

 

Just my opinion.

I have deadlines as well. Almost can't be f**** 

 

Just wanna put Sky Sports news on in the background and rewatch reactions but their coverage has been so sh**

Must be I'm 99% sure i saw him in the footage. 

[HybridFox]

I don't know if it was just my area. But I barely remember hearing any clappers even though we were given one. 

 

And look how brilliant the atmosphere was. Not needed! 

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

Sixty years of pain, and now a dream come true. I still find it hard to believe we have actually won this wonderful trophy. I feel like I could jump over the moon right now Well done to all the lads, and to Brendan, who I rate as the best manager in the league, who has worked miracles on a small budget compared to the rich clubs.

 

HAPPINESS IS       -      LEICESTER CITY F. C.

@UpTheLeagueFox sounded a bit rough on talksport this morning mate haha. Josh is a Stanton lad we don't mess about. 

When we finally found a bar and Josh ordered 16 beers and 16 Jagers for the four of us I kind of guessed it was going to be a messy one.

Did anyone else get a flashback to THAT goal by Andy Peake when Youri scored?

 

And this one. Also at Wembley.

Brilliant day out Saturday, one I'll never forget!  Interesting one, when we got back one of our boys asked what it was like to watch Fofana and Castagne live - hadn't realised we have never seen them play in the flesh before (for Leicester - not Atalanta!), but we have got so used to seeing them on the TV!

 

As it turns out I thought both were excellent, Little Wes was up there with Youri and Kasper for man of the match!

Hello all. New to this forum but just had to join. Leicester has been my team since cup final day 1963. Aged 6. No family connection to Leicester but despite or perhaps because of the 3-1 loss this was to be MY team for ever. Always in the back of my mind we never won anything major (apologies to League Cup team of 64) until 1997 League cup. Always wanted F A Cup though. Premier League champs was fantastic but still wanted to lay the ghosts of 49, 61 and 63 and 69. We have now done it and I'm nearly 65. All the agony of all the disappointments were worth it. 

[LCFCbwoi]

One of the best things to take from winning the Cup is that, no matter what happens in the future, players such as Tielemans, Fofana, Ndidi, Ricardo, Iheanacho were all able to cap their Leicester City career with a trophy and will all go down in history at this club. 
 

Then you have the likes Vardy, Morgan, Schmeichel and Albrighton who already earned their legend status but future generations will be able to look back at these players and realise they were much more than a one off 5000-1 PL win.

Just rewatched it for about the 10th time. My Mrs glances up suddenly and remarks how nice it was to let Ranieri come and join the celebrations. 

 

Pretty baffled I rewound it to see what she was talking about. It was Jon Rudkin.

[Pliskin]

The lads let Top take the trophy home for the evening. What a club and what a team.
