I had a feeling Ajax would do them and lo and behold it comes to pass. The signs are all pointing to a Barca vs Ajax final which would be a dream for UEFA from a marketing perspective.

A dream for me, too. As I can't stand Spurs OR Liverpool.

Spurs won their cup final at the Etihad ironically by losing that game.
I genuinely think having got past us cost them loads of energy. They’ve been off it ever since.
F@@k off Spurs....we could have won this comp.

We werent good enough to get past the quarters

Don't know what was worse .......Spurs performance or Jermaine Jenas co commentating

You lot play more parked buses than we did during that first year from 08-09, I am not debating it but that's also English football. In Spain, many opponents tried to attack and even in CL they initially tried to attack as well but after '09 few had the courage to play an open game. As I say, that term got coined from Mourinho's tactics against Barcelona

But there's no question for me it's more about the absurdity of playing 4 competitions (One of FA or Carabao has to go) and the other is simply bad luck with untimely key injuries that prevented you guys from really maintaining any sort of rhythm. The lack of attacking/overlapping fullbacks is glaringly absent from a Pep coached team - that's why I don't buy the Mendy rumours, they have to fortify at FB(s)

The irony about the term park the bus is that it was Mourinho himself who coined it taking about Spurs under Santini after a 0-0

Can't see many 700 euro tickets being sold to those two clubs.

Well done Ajax.

1-0 is not safe result, Spurs can still qualify.

I wanted Frenkie more than De Light.

Don't remember myself slagging De Light though.

It is DE LIGT.

Plenty of tourists and corporates to take up the slack though for a CL final. With all the history around the two clubs it's a match that sells itself.

I thought most of what I watched was pretty average, as I said missed first 20 minutes, but overall I thought Ajax were the better side.

Ajax were very good first 20 minutes. First touch passing at speed. They scored and looked likely to get a hatful. Spuds reorganised about 20 mins in and was closer thereafter. Thought Ajax were good in spells but we would have given them a bloody good game.
