Burndens Bogs Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Spurs and Liverpool have earned their rights to be in the Final, but i think Citeh,Barca and Ajax are all better sides than both of them, funny old game innit? What a brilliant 2 nights of football we've had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The premiership is undoubtedly a great achievement however it will hurt city that Liverpool, United & Chelsea all won the champions league & competed in finals not that long ago even spurs coming along and lifting it will anger them, city fans thought they was invincible and would win the CL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good would that be? Not guaranteed mind after the way these two semi finals were turned on their heads! Superb game last night. You could just see that young Ajax team had done their dash in the first half. Still hit the post before Spurs got the winner though. Missus giving me the puzzled expression about why I should be so buzzing about it. All I could say is "this is why we love football".

Marc505 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I know City as a club are desperate for a Champions League win and I'm sure they will at some point soon but they do have the very real chance of doing a domestic treble this season which isn't to be underestimated. Got some great managers over here at the moment, maybe not the absolute greatest players on show but definitely managers any other team would love to have. Cant picture us competing at that level ever again as it stands, different sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not arsed which one wins it in truth. There's an argument which says Liverpool winning it would be OK from the near total domination of football by NW England (Lancashire really) angle - one which I tease the Southerners in our scooter club with on regular occasion. On top of that, Liverpool have been more consistent than Spurs this season so maybe are more deserving. Still, never one who wants to miss out on a good grief monkey vigil and liking the Pochett Rocket (I like Klippety too), there would be some serious schadenfreude to be had if the constant victims ended up only with two runners up medals. Fuck it - "Come on you Spurs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A point lost on some. The DMB's treble was different. Has any club actually ever won the English domestic treble before? Liverpool or the DMB's in their respective heydays? Struggling to remember such a feat being achieved (and, of course, City have yet to actually do it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think United would have if Villa didn't beat them in Coca Cola cup final mid 90s? Might get overlooked a bit but if they do the domestic treble it'd be very impressive.

ProfessorWoland Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Credit to Spurs but I felt for Ajax last night. They've been the feelgood story of this years competition. A club with a fantastic tradition and history that can no longer compete financially with the giants, but through astute coaching and recruitment had assembled a fantastic young team that played without fear. Come the summer they will be picked over and dismembered. That was their chance and they were 30 seconds from reaching the final. That will be difficult to live with for everyone connected with the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it's the way the majority of clubs will have to operate and is shows what can be done. If they keep doing it, sell players and make more profit, then in time they may be able to compete a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Spurs have done everything right, invested in their infrastructure, got a great manager and been very careful with their wages and transfer budget. Full credit to them, especially for overcoming the oil wealth doped Man City, it's only that the premier league tv riches give them a huge advantage over the likes of Ajax that wouldn't make them the feelgood story. I have to say I prefer my european finals to have different nationalities in the final, rather than teams that meet each other often already, but it's certainly notable that there could be 4 English teams contesting the two finals. The Germans and Italians are well of the pace. Looks like the pendulum has shifted from Spain to England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal were similar. Once the higher attendances start yielding more funds, and the TV money, they'll be able to loosen the purse strings. Credit still needs to be given to the coaching set up. To create that on lower spending is excellent. If only we could get a similarly effective set up next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
