Well, Pool vs Spurs final would be boring... I was so hoping to see Barca vs Ajax... alas, not happening.

Sure, I get that any non-supporter of the remaining teams would want the most intriguing match-up. But, yeah...Spurs fan here, so obviously I want them to come back on Ajax.

Don't like teams from one country facing each other, - well, the word "boring" perhaps is not the right one as often those matches are pretty entertaining indeed.

No problem, mate

As a neutral I probably should support Ajax though

I must admit, I do think Ajax-Liverpool would likely be a more entertaining match, hehe. Ajax are a likable squad and it's cool to see them back as a major player in European footy.

As much as I would have loved to see a Barca - Ajax final, I think that at least a Pool - Ajax/Spurs final is more open ended and more exciting because of that. If Barca had made the final they would have been the top favorite to win, with these 3 teams it's more even sided I think. (Of course it's a final and anything can happen in one)

Well, yeah, but as we can see these days one can expect anything in football

Who would predict an Ajax vs Pool final when this whole thing started, huh?

GruesomeTwosome · #4009

Well...Ajax-Liverpool it is, then!

heh, I'm not making any predictions here yet

GruesomeTwosome · #4011

Well they somehow have to find 3 goals...I’m hopeful but it just seems to be Ajax’s time right now.

Yeah, looks like it.. but still half way through only.. if Pool can hit Barca for 4 I'm sure Spurs can too

Cippenham · #4013

Just another goal needed for Spurs

Cippenham · #4014

Maybe Ajax will just hold on here

Cippenham · #4015

I don’t believe it

Liverpool Spurs not boring, I would like Spurs to win

Are you sure?

bal3x · #4017

WTF NOT AGAIN

This is truly insane! Poor Ajax... oh well, I'm not even sure who to support in the final now

Armoreska · #4018

NO FUFFING WAY. Did British hire Hollywood to produce these comebacks?

GruesomeTwosome · #4023

...yeah, I never doubted Spurs. Nah, never...

Lol.

MY GOD THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! Lucas Moura, instant legend. The comebacks in both of these semi-finals were amazing. This final could be insane.

Thanks. For Spurs fans the release must be euphoric.

So what is this - 4 English teams in both finals?? Has anything like this ever happened before?

Ivan0716 · #4034

There had been 3 teams from a single country in the European finals before, never 4.

Right! I thought so

Quite an achievement that's unlikely to be repeated soon.

Cippenham · #4036

What if it is repeated or nearly repeated and often, look at the financial strength of the Premier League, which should be considered the best league due to the number of good quality teams. Arsenal need to win to qualify for Champions League, the other 3 teams already qualified through league position along with Manchester City who may win the domestic double of league and FA Cup and they are not of course in a European final having lost to Spurs earlier.

Cippenham · #4037

Bear this in mind Arsenal and Chelsea had only one English player each and neither of their managers are English. The owners are not English. These are based in England, the Premier League is international and in theory could be based anywhere. Compare this to Germany or other countries it is international league not English.

No wonder UEFA only allocated 6,000 tickets to each club, your only options to get there is through indirect flights or a ~60h drive where you'll be passing through a flipping war zone!

Cippenham · #4039

I think all finals should be held at Wembley

Well, this year EPL can claim they're the best league in the world

But surely the other leagues will have something to say about this
