He’s a great coach, but he’s an absolute prick of a man.

I'd say he's a decent coach, not great, but certainly comes across as a prick

So Leicester will be hung over and get spanked on Tuesday. Will that be good for us?

Better for us if they beat Chelsea to be honest...no need for GD then

I knew that was going to get given offside first replay, as did my dad. Was quite tight but this wasn't the 4 minutes of drawing lines. It wasn't what we've complaining about. It was a tight decision that VAR got right.

A shame that happened as it should only be remembered for the winning goal.

Cup finals shouldn't be decided on video review over fractions.

I agree. Meant the decision (its timing and significance etc) rather than VAR itself, which I'm not in favour for. Still, there's nothing like a last minute goal being chalked off for Chelsea against a likeable Leicester side to make people forget how much they dislike VAR. Also, it was offside.

Chilwell made to look like an utter idiot too.

I'm really happy about how this has put a smile back on so many faces. I started the thread pretty much lamenting the demise of this competition, but it's good to see that it can still deliver at times.

It's great that fans were back, and it's great to see an oil club fail again.
