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.
I’m to remember every man I've seen fall into a plate of spaghetti???

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.

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.bal3x wrote: ↑May 8th, 2019, 2:33 pmNo problem, mateGruesomeTwosome wrote: ↑May 8th, 2019, 2:31 pmSure, I get that any non-supporter of the remaining teams would want the most intriguing match-up.

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)

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

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 tooGruesomeTwosome wrote: ↑May 8th, 2019, 7:44 pmWell they somehow have to find 3 goals...I’m hopeful but it just seems to be Ajax’s time right now.
Just another goal needed for Spurs
Maybe Ajax will just hold on here
I don’t believe it 
Liverpool Spurs not boring, I would like Spurs to win

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

...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.

But at the bottom, the immanent philosopher sees in the entire universe only the deepest longing for absolute annihilation, and it is as if he clearly hears the call that permeates all spheres of heaven: Redemption! Redemption! Death to our life! and the comforting answer: you will all find annihilation and be redeemed!

Will Chelsea let the entire country down?
There had been 3 teams from a single country in the European finals before, never 4.
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.
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!

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