Just seen the winning goal because I had no recollection of it at the game.

The cross from Elmo is just incredible. Probably one of the best you’ll ever see.

I was questioning Smith's decision to replace Fred completely forgetting Elmo's secret weapon. Put it this way, if Beckham had put that ball in tonight, the media wouldn't stop talking about it.

In some fairness to him ,that painting was a gift from a charity in Swansea after he'd helped them. He does seem a smug twat though, the kind that never passes a mirror without looking in it and licking himself.

Reminds me a bit of Pardew.  The sort that would have his hand up your wife’s skirt at the dinner table whilst smiling at you.

Leicester had several early chances but then I thought we nullified them for a long period. Their equaliser was actually a bit of a surprise because we’d been the better team in the second half and Iheanacho had done nowt. After they scored they looked like they were building a head of steam but Vardy didn’t get a look in and we still looked dangerous. What a finish.
Excellent summary Richard.
Yes these were my thoughts as well. As the second half progressed, Leicester looked less effective despite the possession and it didn't seem as if the equaliser was imminent.

I was in line with Trezeguet and Elmo's cross came over perfectly in almost slow motion. It was a great finish and I'm not his biggest fan, but he more than made amends for his pass back style attempt prior to that.

Our set up and work rate was just unrecognisable from the league meeting, and obviously in a good way.

Everyone put in such a shift and the concentration levels were maintained as well, but a special mention to Nyland and Nakamba, whom I am starting to like again.

So many similarities with the Liverpool semi. Rogers led a team who bottled it. Gerrard was outclassed by Grealish all those years ago - tonight it was the turn of  Maddison to be put in his place.

Just seen a stat - apparently we are first team to reach a major final in 14 different decades. The legend continues.

Just got back so not read anything else.
Well fuck my old boots!! Great team performance and showed balls to keep going to the end for the second successive game, bodes well for the run in.
Nyland kept us in it in the first half with some outstanding finger tip saves. Defence was solid with Targett showing his worth in advanced positions and his link up play with Jack was excellent.
Midfield of Marvellous and Doug was superb, tired towards the end but superb nonetheless. Marvellous showing the form that was evident at the start of the season.
What a difference a proper forward makes, thought the signs, particular in the first half were encouraging, should have really scored in the second half. Davis was great when he came on as well.
GOING TO WEMBLEY!!!

That’s brilliant. The images with our fans carrying him off were ace. He’s such an enthusiastic player, I really like him and loved seeing those scenes at the end.

Magnificent effort from everyone involved.

I was so pleased that Nyland was given the chance tonight. He played brilliantly in the first-leg and, let's not forget, in the previous round against the Red Scouse.
The saves in the first-half were fantastic - real game-changers.

It could be a difficult decision for Dean for the final.
Personally, I think Orjan deserves to keep his place.

Matt Targett's best game for the club and, frighteningly, Jack just appears to get better and better.
