Leicester have embarrassed us

Congratulations to Leicester City on their cup win. Their fans must be buzzing with the way their club has progressed, and so they should. That's a PL title and now an FA Cup title in the space of 5 years, and they currently sit in the top 4. Meanwhile Spurs are still searching for their first piece of silverware in over 10 years and top 4 hopes pretty much dead with 3 games left.

Leicester have perfectly demonstrated in ownership, recruitment and team performance how to do it. Even in today's final they gave an example that Spurs need to look long and hard at:

Score a goal - Tick
Beat a big team - Tick
Have one of your top players turn up - Tick
Not have one of your players do anything dumb - Tick

Spurs should feel embarrassed we've let another team show us how it's done.

As for Leicester, welcome to the Big 7.

We just need that idiot SteveF to join in now and then we will have completed the set.

Had already given up on this season, but if you insist:
1. Leicester goal came about due to a clear handball.
2. Chelsea goal was onside. Looking at the picture posted on the BBC this morning shows both players are level. Just a stupid ( or bias ) decision by some bloke in a room somewhere.
3. Chelsea by far the better team. Don't like them, but they should have won. Match stats tell you that.
4. Thought the constant booing and mock cheering by the Leicester fans of that, alleged "homely, family" club throughout the game was disgusting.
5. As for embarrassing Spurs. Rubbish. With one solitary FA Cup in 120 years, first , that is actually embarrassing, and second at that rate it will take Leicester 840 years to match Spurs haul of FA Cups.

Is that enough comments for you ?

Your welcome.

And here he is!

BOOOOOM!

Dunno about giving up on this season, I think you should give up football altogether. You clearly know nothing about it.

I trust watching us lift another trophy has thoroughly ruined your weekend.

You're welcome (with the correct grammar)

$puds are actually more bitter than we are that Leicester won the cup...priceless really

Obviously we have bigger things to focus on, would have been pleasant to win yesterday...but we got beat by a worldie goal & two worldy saves...respect
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chelsea could still end up without winning any cups and finishing behind both Spurs and West Ham. Ouch.

Spurs... irrelevant since 1991

Chelsea… Only relevant since 2003.

Spurs were winning European trophies just the 34 years before that.

OP

How have Leicester embarrassed Spurs. They are just the 120 years behind Spurs in winning their first FA Cup.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm talking about recent times clearly. They are doing what we've been striving to do for over a decade and they won an FA Cup which is bigger than anything we've won in the last 30 years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

They have had a couple of seasons in the sun. It won't last, and guarantee in a few years they will probably be back in the Championship.

I will stick to supporting Spurs thanks. I really don't give a stuff what Leicester do, they are not my team.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sandy guarantee.

Is this the same guarantee that would see Poch at a club like Palace?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s a very clever guarantee though. He guarantees that ‘probably’ they’ll be back in the championship.

So basically not committing either way! Smart move.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well Leicester's history is littered with lots of seasons in the lower division, so it is pretty well where they will end up again in a few years. Once Vardy packs in, that will be them done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes because they haven't been able to replace any other quality player that left

They never successfully replaced Mahrez, Drinkwater and Maguire.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not forgetting Kante & Chilwell.

Is this a joke?

We replaced Maguire with Soyuncu, who was already at the club and also Fofana.

We replaced Drinkwater with Tielemans.

We haven’t replaced Mahrez but replacing a player of his quality wouldn’t be easy for any team.

We replaced Kante with Ndidi.

We replaced Chilwell with Castagne but also brought through Luke Thomas.

It’s fair to say that we don’t miss any of the above with the exception of Mahrez.

Thought you replaced Mahrez with Ghazzel? He is a dud though. You have Barnes and Perez now anyway. James Justin is a quality player btw in the full back position.
