Ask yourself who played well for Chelsea and then come back to me if you still think Leicester were second best in everything

Laughable bollocks opinion
Actual hard stats = laughable bollocks opinion?

I'm looking at this as a neutral, which I can only assume you aren't, but Leicester didn't create a single chance, without the worldy (which was their only shot on target!!!) and some heroic saves they wouldn't have won.

Wish our owner cared so much about our club.

So you can't then (name a Chelsea player that played well)

And that's clearly your problem you're looking at stats rather than the game itself

have feck they have

Leicester were the better side by a mile
They were compact. If we were poor, which we definitely were, then so were they. They created nothing. Defended well. Fought hard. It was a poor final but I have no idea how or why they were miles better.

Only threatened in the last 10 minutes. Didn't offer enough to win the game. We've been pretty dreadful in finals at Wembley recently. At least the CL is in Porto I guess.

And as we all know, relying on a Schmeichel save and a worldy is absolutely no way to win an FA Cup game. :nono:

What really you want City and Liverpool to do well over Chelsea?
I’m not too arsed about city. Only know one city fan and city are just a hollow club. I’d probably just about prefer Chelsea over Liverpool for the champions league places but either dropping out would make me happy and if Chelsea end up with nothing it will be hilarious considering all the hype.

Nice to see proper celebrations for winning the FA cup. You can tell that meant a lot to everyone associated to Leicester.

The most important signing we could make this summer would be a complete overhaul of our scouts. Leicester’s recruitment highlights what a shambles we are in the market.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Yep. Cant wait to bottle CL places every year to sides that spend big on big names.

Well done Leicester City ! Also so good to see the FA cup genuinely getting some love rather than going to one of the usual teams.

The funniest would be Liverpool pip Chelsea to 4th and then Chelsea win the CL final and take their spot anyway
