Rave MacPherson Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I really cannot stand that arrogant, patronising Rodgers fud, but i love the fact that Leicester have become a team that can challenge for trophies amongst the so called big boys. Chelsea to be winning 9-0 at half time, rodgers to be sacked and escorted from the premises, Leicester to mount a comeback and win 10-9 after extra time will do me nicely.

I used to enjoy the BBC coverage in the build up to the game, starting at what seemed like 10am. Film of the team buses arriving at Wembley and god knows what else to fill all that time. It's definitely not been the same since they put the match on during a league weekend and shoved it to the early evening as a sideshow to the main event. I can't get excited about it but I'm sure one of the teams will win, so well done to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Used to have the weekend football to itself, build up starting at lunch time and a traditional 3pm kick off. Maybe felt that way as well because there was hardly any live games on during the season back in the seventies/eighties 🤔 and both English and Scottish Cup Finals seemed such massive occasions. Plus the annual live Scotland v England game in the Home Nations was a huge day to look forward to every season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

martoon Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Childhood friends of mine were from Leicester so for that reason, and that Chelsea have scooped up so many trophies, I'll be cheering on the Foxes. Sadly, I don't think they will win, though. Chelsea 2-1, possibly aet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey1874 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Both sides are adding a lot to English football just now. Either way it should be a good game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Other things have taken the shine of it. No longer a 3pm kick off on a Saturday. Teams no longer made up of British and Irish players.

But if they look closer to home and read into it a bit more they will find that one of the big reasons he left was due to Peter Lawwell sticking his beak in. Brendan also mentioned Celtic fans are hurting but they will soon find out his reasons fast forward 18 months to today and look at Celtic now. But they still like to dis the man and have hate towards him. Edited May 14 by Stu_HMFC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyCant Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) I can’t pretend to have a horse in the race for any good or bad reason or any fathomable reason to dislike either club as some on here seem to have dug deep to find. I like it when the smaller less manufactured team wins so for that reason it’s Leicester for me but I couldn’t care less who wins and might not even watch it. Just hope for a decent game if I decide to watch. Brendan is actually a gentleman. He was in a restaurant in his home village in Leicestershire recently and we chatted at the bar for a bit about Scottish football. 10 minutes later he sent some drinks over to our table.

So for that reason I hope Leicester win it. There's loads out there who proclaim their undying love for Chelsea or others and never set foot in the stadiums, great opportunities for them when Chelsea are up 'Norf' but are always washing their hair when the fixture date is announced.
