Iskaral Pust Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Ajax are very good. They're usually a bit wasteful with their chances but obviously taking enough of them so far tonight. They'll be a really difficult opponent in the final but I still prefer matching up against continental teams rather than domestic teams in the CL. It just has greater novelty and interest. Unrelated news: Chelsea's transfer ban for two windows has been upheld, so it will apply to this summer and the January window only. But ironically they can still sign youth players even though this ban was a punishment for their abuses/exploitation of youth signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona all appealed and had their respective bans deferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Can't believe Poch is persisting with Trippier marking De Ligt at set pieces. That's a total mismatch and De Ligt is winning every aerial duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Bah, fuck's sake Ajax. Really good effort from Spurs in the second half but it's a little disappointing to see a side as exciting as Ajax going out to Spurs basically lumping the ball repeatedly up to Llorente.

Consigliere Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 English football on the rise again (aside from United, sadly). England performing well at youth levels and now we are very likely to have an all EPL affair in both European finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iskaral Pust Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 More reasons to prefer a European super league over playing Burnley, Brighton, etc each week. Incredible result by Spurs. They tried the Liverpool approach: start by amassing a three goal deficit, then turn everything upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been talk that Kane could make the final. That would be another huge boost for Spurs. Aurier should be available soon as well. Not sure about Winks.

Rorshach Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Pool yesterday is, I think, mostly about Klopp. What he has managed to do with the team - and players - is amazing. And I hate him for it, clearly. I'll have to admit I'm envious of Spurs as well. Poch hasn't been able to buy a player for two transfer windows, has injuries all over, and had several players playing at the WC till the very end - and now Spurs (SPURS!) are in a CL final. At least Everton aren't managed by Allardici anymore.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 I'm always conflicted when crappy mid level teams do well. On the one hand its good to break up the monotony, on the other 'why cant my crappy mid level team achieve anything'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurier should be available soon as well. Not sure about Winks. That was my concern. The gap in time to the final is long enough to allow Spurs to regain some players. And Kane would be very motivated to play that game and then rest in the summer. Spurs XI is very good. We can beat them but it's no foregone conclusion in a one-off match at a neutral venue. They know us well enough to have a good plan to neutralize us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 FOOTBALL, BLOODY HELL! And if you thought that Wijnaldum, Origi and Lucas Moura would decide the Champions League semifinals, I'd like you to give me the lottery numbers right now, because I kind need a few millions on my bank account.
