He’s recovered well from the chasing he got from Big Sam’s carpet fitters and umbrella salesmen.

A 5th final appearance for Leicester this afternoon. They’ve lost on all four previous occasions.

A 12th final appearance for Chelsea of the EPL era. Prior to 1994 they only appeared in the final on 3 occasions over its first 122 years.

The BBC are capturing the sense of occasion of the greatest knock out Cup competition in the world .

The evening kick off has ruined it. Right now, if things were still done properly and the correct way, we would be watching the half time marching display of the Massed Bands of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines. You used to be able to nearly set your clock by the Cup Final timetable. 2.45pm was always a real personal highlight every year.

Forget it was on.

Are BBC showing the French Cup?

Teutonic Thomas Tuchel showing what he thinks of the Britisher’s traditions by turning up in a tracksuit.

For all their dirty Russian state money, Chelsea will never have any class about them. Imagine turning up on Cup Final day to meet the Duke of Cambridge kitted out in a skanky tracksuit.

More of a touch of class to the more modest Thai money at Leicester and their splendid coach Brendan Rodgers. A modern success story that you can admire.

What do we think of the new Chelsea kit?

The New Wembley never really took off .

A goal worthy of winning your first ever FA cup

Great to see the fans back.

Great save by the Leicester keeper.

It’s up there with Jimmy Montgomery in 1973 for a save in a Wembley FA Cup Final.

Wes Morgan makes the difference.
