For those of you who keep stats: when was the last time we won a trophy with a relatively easy final? The 2012 LC final went to penalties, the 06 FA Cup had *that* Gerrard goal and also went to penalties, and obviously we know what happened in Istanbul.

I'm just asking 'cause... I'd rather this one be hassle-free. We turn up, 2 or 3 goals up to nil, trophy won. No last minute dramas, no extra time, no penalty shoot-out, nothing of the sort. Just a confident win. Is that too much to ask? ;D

SPOILER ALERT: probably yes. We never do things the easy way :P

You can see the burning desire and determination in our players to win and I hope we have everything going our way on the night and they get a reward for the incredible hard work and determination they have put in.

I can't think of too many apart from Everton in 86, and then we came back from a goal down to win 3-1, maybe Sunderland in 92 which was 2-0 and was a grim match but a stroll in the end for us or Borussia in 77

Cup final so no firm favourites.

Spurs might think an English team is less daunting and they have nothing to lose together with momentum but 3 weeks takes that away.

For us statically this past 5 months we are far better team than them both in the prem and CL, more finals, more match winners, better defence and I suspect we are sharper.

We really have to be clinical and get in there early.

Nervous already!

This. The absolute balls on our players today after the effort they put in Tuesday they where spent and yet gave it everything for the win. The rest is going to do them the world of good.

People keep making the mistake of thinking this is an "All English" final.  It isn't.

Spurs aren't facing an English side.  They're facing a European one.  One of the most feared on the continent.

Yes, anything can happen in a knockout and I'm not going to insult Spurs by suggesting they don't deserve to be in the final - they do.  But like I said - they're not facing Barcelona in a dead rubber group match.  Away goals wont save them this time.  It's about as level a playing field as you could hope for.

That said, I just want a comfortable win in normal time.  No more nail biters!

We can now focus 100% on this game,  hopefully we will have a full squad to train in the next 2-3 weeks and choose from on the night.  A really tough game awaits, let's hope our experience of finals over  the past 4 years helps the lads, we know the ground will be 80% covered in Red so no need to worry about what is going on in the stands.  Getting down to the football, well no predictions from me just yet, that will come later taking out the emotion of this season and our league performance & position (as it will count for nothing in Madrid) we have 1 team standing between  us and our 6th European Cup, and I would fancy  this manager and team, these fans against any  team in the world. But it isn't just  any  team is it?
(insert Mr. Ferguson's "Lads Its Tottenham") but it's a team we know well and there is no way after the hurt of last season & this season that we are going  to let  these rock up in Madrid and snatch our destiny from us are we? 
A huge night awaits and each man will need to sweat blood for this, but aswel as the application the quality needs to be there.  Just be clinical please reds , that's all i ask.

Yeah coz it’s on plate 😕 talk like this on here makes me laugh. We are derserved favourites but it’s 90 minutes of football anything can happen. I’m confident myself and we should beat them but form is nothing in this.

We are a good side and so are they. But I have seen enough of us this season. if we become angry and determined, we will want to win all our 1v1 battles. When Spurs become angry/frustrated. They will get yellow and red cards. I am confident of this

The drive in the lads to win this after today will be ridiculous.   !!
Agreed.

I take nothing away from Spurs. They did really well to get here. I respect them a ton. They have a fantastic manager. And they will of course be striving 100% to win the final.

But our boys will be insanely driven to win it. The disappointment of last year. The confidence instilled in them by the success of this year, followed by losing the PL on the final day. And lastly, they love Klopp and want to kill this ridiculous notion that he can't win a final anymore. They'll run through brick walls for him to win this trophy.

We are better than Tottenham, more experienced than them, with more reason to win it. The only way Spurs beat us is with a fluke red card/penalty or some freakish goal.
