Liverpool are better than United and Chelsea on current form.

Your best performance at Anfield in recent years ended up with a fortuitous last minute decision from the referee giving you the draw.

There's no guarantee that you'll play as well as you have and no guarantee we will play as badly.

United on the other hand have a crap record against the top sides, and Chelsea are in freefall.

6-3 aggregate win for Spurs. That would do nicely.

Sometimes feels better to be playing a team you know well, although I'd say that of all the faves going through, Roma are probably the least impressive this season. They're 15 pts behind Juve, who did not look that great vs Spurs.

I don't expect Chelsea to get past Barca, and Mourinho managed to win the Comp with Porto and Inter as well as winning the Europa with United last year, he is very canny. A narrow defeat at Anfield will do if we can put in a similar home performance to the one earlier in the season

This went well

Wumming aside Liverpool and Spurs are very similar teams who play good styles of football. No reason for there to be a hatred between the fans, though tbf I only see that on here.

United are in poor form, haven't had an 'away goal' against either of us this season. I don't see us performing anywhere nearly as badly against you lot at Wembley again especially now we have a proper centre back.

Let’s all reconvene on Monday morning when Wessie may have got the joke

Utd and Chelsea (altho Barca will beat them) know better how to get the job done than Liverpool (and Spurs).

Although we battered Utd, i'd rather play Liverpool because they always give you a chance. Jose can close down a game and then win it with a stroke of luck. Liverpool could be 3-0 at HT and you'd still hold some hope of getting back into it.

As for Chelsea, they always seem to beat us, no matter how well we play against them.

Don't disagree here, I'm never comfortable at 3-0.

Fair enough, but I would prefer Lpool as I think we could get the better of them whereas United will grind it out against us.

I'd be confident that we'd go through if we faced Spurs. More confident against United or Chelsea though.

No idea why our fans want Barcelona?!

Spurs fans see Liverpool as an easy target as we havent won anything in recent times. We see Spurs as an annoyance, win nothing ever but currently a decent side competing for a top4 spot with us. In reality once spurs sell their best players theyll slip into obscurity again. Ive a mate whos a Spurs fan and he only ever posts liverpool nonsense on FB and whatsapp. Its an inferiority complex that would be pointless to use against City Chelsea United as they are constantly successful. So liverpool being their only output of their frustrations

Yeah, not very good cover, when I'm quoting a post that you can look back and verify.

So, in answer to the question posed by greatteams:
I'm definitely not being serious when I'm trying to get somebody to call himself a cant.

But they're going to have two NFL games a year.

I think it's things like going on and on about the new stadium (when has a team not suffered from moving to a new stadium?!) and then claiming things like:

- highest attendances (of course, you're sponging off Wembley)
- best team in the last 2 years (no premier league trophies)
- best training facilities

Etc etc.

Once Spurs start winning something they will hopefully stop this sort of crap.

My experience of this is quite different, Arsenal hate us for obvious reasons, Chelsea and Spurs have a lot of history, West Ham is completely one sided. However this Liverpool rivalry has only come about since we started finishing above yourselves regularly. The amount of jealous Pool fans I know who get wound up when we are being talked about instead of them. You don't get this with City or United fans, they take the banter and give it back, Liverpool seem to get really upset.

Do they get really upset though?

This is the same as the whole 'rattled' thing. Finishing above somebody should not be considered something to shout about unless the person you finish above finishes second.

Even that's reactionary, how many fans told us that we wouldn't be able to fill Wembley? So of course we shove it back down there throats when we break attendance records.

The trophy talk is nonsense as well, United, Liverpool and Arsenal might be far ahead but Spurs are the 5th/6th most successful club in the country based on trophies, and neither Spurs nor Lpool can crow about recent times.

Don't know who is boasting about training facilities, that is a bit sad. The ground looks like it will be awesome though.

I find the Lpool fans that I know and work with to be by far the most defensive of any sort of criticism. Lots of fans are passionate but I know too many who take light criticism to heart. Even on this thread me stating that I feel Liverpool would be our best bet if we make the QFs ( and vice versa we would be best for Lpool ) has drawn out some very paranoid responses.
