Leicester will have a go, I mean, they have no alternative, but this will play right into our hands. I think this will be a belter of a game, good fun for all the family. I see something like a 2-4

I’m sure it’s been mentioned previously but how much money is it per place in the league ?
circa £2.1m

I've changed my mind, I think we may get 5 or 6 goals against this lot.

My shift changed so I'll be at work for the game, rather than half the game. I'll be following on BBC. Really hoping the Geordies spank Chelsea & we win this. I'm fairly confident which is not a good sign.

I really really really want to finish above Chelsea...

As for my team, I'm going to mix things up a bit as it's the last game of the season. Try a few different players in a few different positions.

Lanzini
Antonio Rice Soucek Ings
Coufal Kehrer Downes Cornet
Mubama Fornals

Just no injuries before the final please! That’s all I ask for today’s game.

Hopefully we can pick up the 3 points, while relegating Jamie Vardy’s ginormous chin to the Championship.

It would be an added bonus if Newcastle could defeat Chelsea too by a few goals.

I echo the sentiment, obviously, but we only need a 1-0/2-0 combination to overtake them.

I meant more in terms of I enjoy seeing Chelsea getting spanked than just narrowly losing by 1 clear goal. It rubs more salt into the wounds of their supporters and Fat Frank. But of course, even if they lose by 1 goal I’d still be satisfied.

After the Spuds and Gooners they are the team I hate the most.

I've decided that today is the stumble leading to defeat, so that we get that out of our system and go on and lift the cup.

I've supported this club too long to think otherwise, given that

1. We just came very close to pushing Leeds through the trapdoor
2. We might play a big part in relegating Leicester, and
3. We are playing a team, in the cup, who have just lost their other cup final.

So, a light defeat today, lads, that'll do.

Quite possibly the last time we will ever play the Amazing Leicester City.

They've had a few good years, albeit with the advantages entering administration brings. A league title and an F.A. cup to keep them warm in their old age while watching the likes of Doncaster.

Hopefully " Moyesy" will select a strong team to keep the points gatherers, sorry i mean, ASTH entertained, the cost of this match ticket being only marginally lower than the one for Prague. Perhaps a farewell 90 for Manu and please God, Benny. Oggy too will be on his toes, so he deserves a final run out in the famous claret and blue.

Leicester are a stark example of what happens when the money runs out, you either invest every single year, or you slide down the table. I predict within a few months we will be reading stories of unpaid wages and fire sales.

Send them down West Ham.

Take the pain Leicester. You had the good times, so no tears thank you.

I think a lot will depend on how the Everton game goes.
If they are winning Leicester won't have the same motivation to beat us.
Keep it tight first half, wait for news of Everton's goals, then score a couple in the second half.
Meanwhile Newcastle beat Chelsea and we finish above them (and Wolves who lose at Arsenal).
Chelsea's recent defeats have given us something more to play for today - at least for the fans. Not so sure the players are concerned about inserting blue flags.

You know, the powers that be, won't allow Everton to go down. We have seen it all before.

Personally I hope they do go down as they are a bit deluded and think they are too big to go down, which no club is.

However, I just think it would be funny if we do win and end up relegating that cheating, diving, rat boy, that is known as Vardy. And ending up above Chelski has its own delights 😉

Big game for me as my wife and her family are all Leicester fans. I wonder what West Ham will turn up today! The Brentford or Bournemouth away versions? Apparently the atmosphere at the Leicester training ground is not good and players have an eye on the next move. But we will our players want to avoid injury?

We’ll win 3-0, bit of pressure in the first 20 minutes and then that’ll be it.

I also have a feeling Leeds will do it with Everton choking, based on no logic, just a feeling.

Fully expecting Everton to score after about 30 seconds and have their game done and dusted by half time, much to the dismay of the Sky production team. I think our game will have a lot of goals. There are always loads of goals on the final day. I could see something daft like 4.4.

Seems harsh on them and it's a nice away day for us travelling supporters.

I have a few Chelsea acquaintances (loath to call them friends).

When Chelsea win they give it all "the big I am".

But recently, it has all gone quiet over there. :crylol: :crylol:

So sad.
