Any thoughts now Liverpool are through. I think it'll be Liverpool versus West Ham. We shall see later today!

I think it will be a decent final and obviously being a red then I want Liverpool to win. Hopefully we will but you never know in football as I've seen too many upsets over the years to get over confident.
I'm still pleased we beat Chelsea although there's no point in winning a semi and losing in the final so we must go on from here. I must admit I thought it might have shut Mourinho up seeing as he picked the wrong side and got his tactics wrong but fat chance of that.

I'll be supporting West Ham on Cup Final day... a trophyless season is all Liverpool deserve after fluking the CL last year.

That's my concern. The Hammers have nothing to lose and will give it a good go. After all they have qualified for Europe haven't they.
If you look at Liverpools big games over the last 15 months, Carling Cup Final, Champs Lge semi, Champs Lge Final and now the FA Cup semi then Liverpool were the underdogs and that takes the pressure off the team as we went into those with the nothing to lose attitude.
It will be different on the 13th May with Liverpool strong favourites so the players will have to handle that pressure. That said we have had some big games recently so our players should be getting used to the big occasion.
I do think we'll win in Cardiff but as I said before then I have seen too many cup upsets over the years to get cocky or over confident and I can remember some great Liverpool sides, far better than this one, getting turned over by Palace and Wimbledon in big cup games.

So sour grapes doesn't just belong to Mourinho then!

I just can't stand scousers!
If Liverpool is such a great place, why the f**k do so many of you live in London? And blow your noses and clear your throats... we might be able to understand you better.
