2020-21 Emirates FA Cup - mod note in op 24.01.21

It's amazing the club that Leicester have become over the last few years. The owners have come in and invested, but not mad money. It's not a Chelsea or Man City story. They've just bought really really well.

The league title win is probably one of the greatest sporting stories of all time. You'd think they'd have fallen away after that. But Rodgers has done a great job since he's come in, turning them into regular top four contenders.

To follow that up with FA Cup success is just fantastic.

I'm still watching the celebrations here. I think that if it was Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, I'd have turned off by now.

It's lovely to watch. There's a novelty to it for them, it's something more relatable than a set of players and fans for whom winning things is routine.

Thats the second time the BBC reporter asked "Is this the start of something special?". Has she been paying attention to football over the last 6-7 years?

These scenes are brilliant. Love it. Well done Leicester.

Gary Linekar said Brendan Rogers is the 1st Englishman to win the Scottish and English cup. Eh wrong. He is a Catholic so more than likely identify himself as Irish.

Nope British from the man's lips

Congrats Leicester! And Jamie Vardy, the only person to play in every round of the FA Cup! And he has won it! What a journey!

great to see how all the players are so friendly with the owners. almost an alien concept these days

Enjoyed that, the fans back makes a big difference in viewing enjoyment. Plus, I always like seeing Chelsea getting beat, although I do hope they stuff City.

Leicester are a very likeable club, fair play to them. Could tell by the reactions its a cup that means something to them.

Delighted for them....Rodgers an underrated manager,great memory for the Chairman after losing his Dad in the helicopter crash.
Nice to see a really emotional reaction between the players and the fans at the end.

Well Done LC

Keeper (Kepa) should be reaching that. His starting position was wrong leaving him too much ground to cover. Schmeichel showed him how it should be done. His save from Mount was first class. Vardy looks finished.

He is Irish, Northern Irish he isn't even English he would be British.

Are they Brits?

Could have sworn Britain was England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland simply made up part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

I suppose they could go by that term bring from "the British isles" but never actually given it any thought.

Anyway, well done Leicester. Any day Chelsea don't win is usually a good day.

Just a thoroughly likable club with a brilliant manager. I was smiling at the scenes at the end with the owner with the players and Rodgers, great realtionship their.

On another note while well drilled, Chelsea are an absolute slog to watch under Tuchel so far.

Would like to see them get top 4 this year. Imagine being a diehard lesicter fan and listening to the CL music as they line up against say someone like Barca. Would be epic as a fan just to be in the stands listening to that CL theme.

What football is all about with those moments. Make believe stuff but its very possible for them this year.

Some of them don't need to imagine it. They got to the 1/4 finals the year after winning the league. Might not have been Barcelona but Atletico Madrid is close enough.
