I don't like the way the media are using the word miracle, it dismisses the talent, hard work and teamwork that earned the victory, it makes out that they just lucked into it.
I may have beenI went to a gig tonight in Leicester and came out to find the entire city drunk, waving big blue flags, singing and playing tunes on their car horns. I trust the other Leicester contributers to this thread were part of that

Totally gutted for you @Accy cyclist. Fingers crossed that you will come good in the play offs and do it at Wembley.
Sorry for the late reply gavgav. I saw your post yesterday then forgot to reply then remembered when i'd gone to bed. That's it really, nothing much more to say. I'm very disappointed as although i feared the worst before kick off i thought the boys in red would prove me wrong and i'd be on cloud nine (as they say in the football world) this morning and not "as sick as a parrot"!

The team I love (Killie) and Newcastle are draw many parallels: both have hated chairmen, make stupid off field decisions, have good (in one case excellent) managers who have been brought in too late to make a real difference and a loyal but increasingly disaffected set of fans.
The Toon are doon.
And Killie are in a relegation play off against either the Hibees or the Bairns. I don't fancy either to be honest but we've had three massive results over Falkirk down my years as a supporter (Cup Final win, League Cup semi annihilation by Naisy, painful goalless draw to relegate them) so our luck has been totally ridden against them; I'd prefer the green bottle merchants.

Burnley FC were overlooked yesterday in a way that really annoys me as a neutral to what occurred in that league.
Firstly, they won the trophy outright at the Valley, Charlton, but weren't presented with the trophy! Would/could that have happened in the Premiership? Obviously not. (One time that did happen to Liverpool who won the league title but Brian Clough refused to hand the trophy over claiming he'd sent it for polishing the day before so the cup was not on display at Anfield that day!)
Then, the results programmes on both BBC and Sky led on Middlesbrough! OK, they'd won promotion and had been playing their rivals for second-place, Brighton, but had finished runners-up. Burnley had won it outright and were ignored!

You must be wondering what you have done to deserve having to rely on this Everton side for a favour to keep the Toon up. We are shockingly poor at the moment - no spirit, no urgency, no fight, no pressing, no organisation, no guile, no nous - players obviously given up and seem to be playing to get the manager sacked - much as I think Martinez is a poor manager and want him gone, I think that is shameful of the players. May I offer an apology in advance if we roll over against Sunderland the way we roll over to any team that displays any of those qualities. I fear the Mackems will be far too up for it for us to cope on Wednesday, having said that, stranger things have happened.......

Newcastle deserve absolutely nothing. I'd use up far too much internet listing the issues at the club. Likewise Killie.
I share your view on Martinez. He's a joke of a manager. his FA Cup win flatters to deceive.

Im not a fan of his off the field antics but I wouldn't call him a thug on the pitch ? Been one of the Premier League's and England's greatest ever old fashioned CB imo.
What I meant was Wembley is not great day out if it's half full, or less, it's an suitable ground that detracts rather than adds to the importance of a final. My opinion anyway having been to 2 play off finals with sub 40k crowds that would have been much better "events" at many PL stadiums..
PS. Apologies to any Newcastle fans for posting that you are "wanky" last night, I'd been drinking.

There are many, many wanky Newcastle fans. I'm fortunate that those I know are not.

My lad and I planned to go, but we decided to watch it on the tele at home instead. We`ll be there for the open top bus tour on the 16th though

Spurs defeat today means Leicester haven't just won the PL, they may well end up running away with it.
