    Chelsea 0-1 Leicester City

    Congrats to the Foxes who, IMO, deserved the victory.

    Well done Brendon Rodgers for Leicester's first F.A Cup final win.

    Commiserations to Dom. You have the CL final to play soon.

    Great goal by Tielemans

    Chelsea back to the Lampard problem - cannot put the ball in the net going through the middle!

    I think Tuchel got it wrong - should have played Chilwell and James as the wing backs - it was easy for Leicester to pack the middle and defend against Chelsea - nearly happened at the end but too late.

    And... wasted chances again.

    Yes, that goal by Tielemans was good enough to win any final :like:

    Did anyone else notice how excited Gary Lineker was at the end of the game?

    yes agree but also give credit to Kasper Schmeichel for two outstanding saves (must of learnt how to do that from someone) great to see the team celebrate with the chairman, and great to hear and see the noise and colour produced by the fans.

    Chelsea's season could unravel into nothing!

    I switched it off after 15 minuets. two reasons, 1, I was tired. 2, the ball was in the sky more times than it was on the grass. Not use to seeing that. Brian Clough had it correct. The ball should be played on the pitch not in the clouds.

    I kind of lost interest in the game at the very beginning, watching woke softies players "taking the knee".

    Politics have no place in sport, especially when it raises the spectre of reverse racism, which is already evident in every day life.

    I am white, supposedly privileged, therefore I should feel guilty..

    One day, common sense will be declared illegal.

    Sorry, I disagree Dom.
    Anything to keep the pressure on racists to change their ways is to be applauded at every opportunity.

    Everybody has their own ideas on racism.

    I believe the fight against racism in sport is hugely important but the fight against racism in life is an even bigger challenge.

    We, as husbands of ladies from Asia, will understand how important this is. The men here who have mestiza or mestizo children will bring their children up to know that everyone's hearts look the same and all people share the same emotions also.

    Sorry to disagree with you, but I think the gesture is just useless show of fake sentiment brought on by self indulgent sense of a
    perceived white "privilege" guilt feeling. Just posturing. For how much we shout of not being racists, we will never be believed and fall victim to real racism, but cannot complain. Sport should be above all that but todays antics are creating a more disjointed society than it has ever been

    Yes, the noise was magnificent and along with the video, showed just how much people matter and how their presence has been sorely missed.

    Everton have suffered more than any other team with the lack of support at home, or.........maybe we have become just a top ten side.

    Watching the baying crowds again was such an uplifting sight :lol:
