I think it’s starting to sink in. The LSD would surely have worn off by now if I’d been spiked.

Tottenham Hotspur...Champions League Finalists.

The whole footballing world will be watching. The likes of Messi and Ronaldo looking on enviously. Every living legend of the game realising that this old sleeping giant is wide awake and ring ready.

I got such a buzz out of seeing England in the semi-finals of the World Cup. It’s pride in getting to the serious stages. Just look at the reaction Croatia got for getting to the final, after they returned home. I know it’s Liverpool, but if we lose I hope to fuck nobody says we bottled it. You’re not a bottler when you get the CL Final. It’s already a massive achievement.

What’s unnerving me is the fact that we could actually win it. Literally one win away from the biggest trophy in club football. I dare to dream, and realise how much a victory would mean to all of us.

I was a gibbering wreck throughout the City v Spurs Crouch winner match that got us into the CL. For this I’ll probably require a defibrillator every 5 minutes.

Our training base will be at Real Madrid apparently. I like that had some nice sessions at home then I guess we will go out there mid week feels right. Liverpool already in Marbella then gonna come back and go out again. Wonder where they will be based. We’ve obviously got the prize location.

THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MONUMENTAL FOR US.

It could really be the start of something special if we win this - like really super special.

How is everyone else playing it at the moment?
I've had this feeling about the Champions league since the Dortmund away result....... But...
I am trying very hard not to be too over-confident about next Saturday, down playing everything.
But I'm on the verge of letting loose, on over confident Liverpool mates, trying to burst their bubble.
To be fair there is no pressure on us, but it is a lot closer than what some might say, and they'd had rather have played Ajax, and we would rather have played them.
The inner me says don't do it, but there is something that telling me fate has already been decided.

If anyone wants some kit for day, sports direct doing some good deals on the kit.

Can recommend the away - lovely kit and fitting

The nerves set in last night, like I can't stop thinking now and playing in my mind every possible outcome. I don't think I will be sleeping from now until the final whistle.

Having been to both Valdebebas and Hotspur Way there isn't too much between the two. Both incredible training centres and the squad will feel good there. Just as long as Eriksen doesn't get too comfortable :cautious:

Just thought i'd post this.



Good for morale but as you say Lovren out and VVD /Alison in makes it very hard to use this result as a good guide along with their full backs being a couple of notches better too now
