This is the calm before the storm........ It's calm because there's still 2 weeks to go!!
The media have been concentrating on the Premier league win and then the FA cup..... They've had plenty of stuff to fill out the pages.
Now though, there's only 2 matches left, the Europa League Final and then the big one.
I think the microscope will be firmly pointed our way now and I think this week and then next week the tension will be ratched up higher and higher - we've still got the old will he won't he be fit saga for Kane to come.
So I've been trying to think which domestic fan bases will be supporting Spurs or Liverpool for the final.
Backing Spurs:
Man U
Everton
Leeds
Tranmere Rovers
Backing Liverpool:
Chelsea
Woolwich
West Ham
Palace
Burnley
Southampton
Fulham
Aston Villa
Millwall
Nottingham Forest
Neutral (no clear support either way):
Man City
Wolves
Leicester
Watford
Newcastle
Bournemouth
Brighton
Cardiff
Huddersfield

Don't really care who's for us or against us TBH. If we weren't in it, I doubt I would care who won it or even bother to watch it.
Everywhere I see Liverpool supporters, and neautrals for that matter, the view seems to be that anything can happen but Liverpool are better than us and if they play to their potential/turn up then they beat us and the trophy is theirs.
BULLSHIT!
I do think Liverpool have been better than us this season. But we've had multiple handicaps, the main one being a constant plague of injuries. The break means we will have a somewhat fit squad for the first time I can remember, no more round plugs in square holes, our best players out, etc. I don't think we are any weaker than Liverpool in terms of our overall squad except in CM and RB but we should have enough for a one of game in those positions.
The idea that they won't turn up, or that we won't turn up i find nonsensical - it's the final of the CL. Both teams will obviously play out of their skin. And both teams have shown there is no mental weakness whatsoever, we aren't going to be overawed by them or the occasion.
Liverpool being marginally better than us (though not evidenced in the CL this season) is not going to mean if they play well they will beat us. It's just lazy arrogant thinking. We are not Watford and they are not City. They are favorites but we are not true underdogs.
The final will be won on tactics most likely, where I think Poch has an edge over Klopp, overall bringing the game level or even slightly in our favor. Or it will be won on moments of brilliance from individuals on one team or the other who reach superstar status by raising their game because it's a final.

You’ll be sold into white slavery and never seen again!
General vibe I am getting is everyone in general supports us bar West Ham, Woolwich and Chelsea fans as they can’t stand Liverpool fans and media wankfest.
I think you’d be surprised just how many will be backing us. It’s not just us and the Mancs that find the Scousers insufferable cunts.
Oh they get better...
So bad
I hear what your saying, but we’re just under two weeks away from this game and the forum needs posts.
A bit general loads of spammers and Chavs prefer us over dippers.
Really? I’m pretty sure those mugs would much prefer Pool pick up the cup over us.
I'm sure most spammers are jealous of us but on KUMB they seem to dislike dippers equally?
Interesting view. Personally, I can’t see any West Ham fan preferring to see Spurs win the Champions League over Liverpool. They might hate Liverpool, but we are their number one enemy, make no mistake about that.
As long as we treat this like a European game and not a PL one we will be alright, I fully expect us to concede within the first 10 minutes but we will win in the end, I reckon we equalise on the 80th and Kane scores the winner on the 93rd!
