Not sure where this is but not much social distancing going on.

 

Leicester fans go wild as Youri Tielemans scores in FA Cup final - Bing video

I was in Gamestop earlier on in Cork today. Went up to enquire about the xbox series x stock.

 

Before I had a chance to speak the man on the counter noticed the Leicester top and says 'congrats to Leicester,what a great win'.

 

Puts the bad results since in perspective.

Walking on Saturday I got out my car in Connecticut with my shirt on and a kid shouts 

 

“Leicester City? Nice!” (Correct pronunciation I must add)

I was simply pointing out that the previous game has nothing to do with the current one. Rodgers will have preached this to the players before the match. Not really a terrible thing to say, if you want that pop along to the Maddison thread.

Anyone else watched from 60 mins onwards from Saturday everyday at least once since? still can’t believe, winning trophies is a feeling that will never get old. Especially after we’ve been in league 1. The feeling that day, to prem title and Saturday are so far apart. I feel very lucky. Thank you leicester for making my dream come true.

The bit after the final whistle where there's a wobble in Lineker's voice when he mentions his dad still gets to me.

 

What a day. You'll never forget it, wherever you were.

Quite a lot after the final whistle gets me, but yes, raw emotion!

Watched it again in full last night before I went to bed

I’ve been listening to the commentary at work all week.

 

Anyone in the neutral areas? What was it like, my fear was that it would be taken over by chelsea getting their hands on the tickets. However I noticed a few jumping up and down and the clip on the tv when they showed the goal disallowed on the scoreboard there seemed to be more than a few jumping around. 
 

I’m really just posting as I don’t want to see this thread drop off the page just yet.

I was in the second tier, seemed all Leicester fans around me.

Nice memento. I see Lineker has not long tweeted about his. 

[Spudulike]

Interesting stat that almost a million more watched this years FA Cup final than last year's. 

 

2020 = 8.2m

2021 = 9.1m

I like that but I thought the attendance was 21,000, small things like that would annoy me 

Thankfully it is corrected when you receive the mug, just got mine

If anyone needs the game, let me know - I've uploaded it to google drive

I had a couple of tickets via one of the sponsors. We were second tier, in the corner, but at the Chelsea end.

There was a huge difference when the goals went in - when YT put us in front, me and my best mate went nuts, proper screaming, and there were a few small pockets of LCFC fans that were celebrating ... when Chelsea "scored" there were loads of them making noise or it certainly seemed that way, maybe being down the Chelsea end amplified things.

Again, just me and my best mate and few others went bloody mad when it was disallowed.

There wasn't much loud shouting during the game in our area, certainly no singing. It wasn't the posh corporate seats by the way but felt it was the right thing to be relatively respectful.

After full time we walked around the second tier towards the 'Leicester end' and there seemed bloody loads of us.

Would've preferred to have been among the proper fans but just grateful in the end to be there, in any seat in the ground.

PS It was a proper blag getting the tickets, might share the whole story one day!

There must have been a lot of interest in seeing Chelsea play.

You must be mistaken, we aren't a Super League team.

My worry was we would be massively outnumbered as they’d bag a lot of the neutral tickets. Mind you the noise we made it wouldn’t have mattered anyway  

 

I can remember seeing a fair few celebrating with us after though, must have been those you where amongst.

On TV I could only hear our fans, really was like a home tie. Let’s get that going against Spurs

I think I heard chelsea about twice. It was honestly one of the best “always” I’ve been in, league cup semi v wimbledon at selhurst park was special and this was up there with that, if not better, despite the limited numbers. Incredible is all I can say.

Behaviour and noise like away end. Absolutely glorious
