Great to see supporters in the stadium with emotion flowing.
Yes it was great to see.Just hope this Indian variant of the Covid virus doesnt slow things down to much on the path to normality. Fed up now of this pandemic. |

I though the celebration for the goal was the best bit...the silly rules regarding masks/social distancing and the likes went out the window and rightfully so...limbs galore. Proper celebration...
I didn’t think it was too bad for a game, seen worse, always good when someone different wins it. Chelsea will be gutted but when Tuchel out thinks Pep in a fortnight I’m sure losing the cup final won’t be so bad...

Cannot wait for that game. I still fancy Manchester City to do it though. Its nice to see English talent coming through though at Chelsea and Man City. For me England's best player is probably between Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling with Sterling possibly edging it ?. |

It’s interesting isn’t it? Whilst those two clubs have undoubtedly spent millions and had the success, arguably Chelsea with more success than City, their best players this year are from their own youth systems... I appreciate Sterling is an exceptional player and was brought in for crazy cash, but when you look at Foden and Mount it’s hard not to get excited...the talent they both have is beyond logic... |

On Phil Foden I remember Guardiola saying that he is the most talented young player he has worked with. What I love about Sterling though is his ability and directness when taking players on. Likewise comes across as a nice person which helps. |

The owner having to be dragged onto the pitch by Schmeichel and then clearly being loved by all the squad reminded me of 2016  |

It's just another game now though, played on the same day as league games.
Call me nostalgic but it used to be the game everyone looked forward too AFTER the season had finished.
It was an all-day thing on the TV too, with Cup Final Question of Sport, reporters at the team hotels, the bus ride to the stadium, interviews with famous fans etc etc.

Fact* of the day: it always used to be the same day as league games, it was only when it started to be shown on tv that chairmen asked for it to be put back to the end of the season, so it didn't effect their crowds.
*think I read that once

you haven't mentioned the most talented of them all - Jordan Sancho. Good article in the Times yesterday. Fact of the day (2) in the past 3 seasons only Messi Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Immobile, Benzema & Salah have been involved in more goals. on assists alone only Muller and Messi better him. 16 goals and 18 assists in 36 games is pretty good going by anyone's standards ps was good to see Leicester win for all the reasons previously mentioned, but there were also some really good stories in there. Vardy became the first player ever (in 150 years of competition) to have played in every round of the competition, from Extra preliminary round to the final what a send off for Wes morgan, if it is to be his last game for them Scmeichel 10 years. Morgan 9 years, Vardy 9 years, Albrighton 7 years - you don't usually get that length of service with 1 club a 19 year old who has come all the way through the ranks Fofana - who had his own thread on here a few days ago |
