Alli wasn’t even good last night. He’s having a mare of a season. Trippier the same. Fucking shiiiiiite. Even Son had a poor game and he’s world class.

However, that comeback was more dramatic than the Liverpool one just because of the goal in the last second. 95:01 winning goal. Insane.

So there’s a potential scenario where all 4 teams in the European cup finals are English, with Arsenal hopefully going through tonight, and assuming that Chelsea will beat the sausages.

Has a single country ever achieved this before? It will be an incredible feat.

Gutted for Ajax, but they will learn a lot from that game.

The game management was lacking from both the players and manager in not ‘closing off’ that game when it was at 2-2 at the 80th minute or so. They kept hoofing it back down the pitch and losing it to Spurs when they should have just shit-housed it into the corners or passed it about across the pitch widthways.

I appreciate their niche is attacking football, but they should have set their formation to 4/5 at the back and midfield with those few minutes to go.

I’d be very surprised if Spurs can win the final, but anything is possible.

Maybe they should have played for the win, but if that shot in like the 92nd minute went in then it was tie over.

I also don’t think Spurs should bother rushing Kane back. The best they’ve looked in recent weeks is when playing Llorente.

the issue for Ajax is that they have been a breeding ground for star players for a while and you just know most of their players will be gone before long. they’re brilliant at bringing them through so there’ll be more but this squad won’t be together for long

Arsenal vs Chelsea in the Europa league final. Something something Brexit.
Cech’s final game against his old club.

Kepa was superb in the shootout last night.

Can’t wait for both finals!

Hi captain hindsight.

Ajax had loads of great chances to score another one and kill it. If that happened you wouldn’t have said that.

Here we go, last day of the season. All teams about to kick off. Let’s see where we are after 90 mins played.

Liverpool have the edge.
Watching the City match and Brighton are being a pain in the arse.

Oh my word.
Brighton score then City equalise moments later.
This is going to be crazy.

Is there more than one cup?
If Liverpool win, will there be a trophy there and if City win, will there be another in Brighton?

There is a replica one at Liverpool. I think the real one is somewhere near to City, incase.

Can you imagine if there is only one being couriered… “head for Liverpool”…“abort abort, get to Brighton sharpish”.

Haha… that would make a great comedy show, one off.

FFS I’m too busy watching the title race, I didn’t even notice United are being beaten by a relegated team!!! WTF?

Yeah, saw the scoreline banner earlier. That’s funny as fuck.
Free kick just now was fucking ridiculous.

4-0 what a way to end the season. 13th on the budget we have is insane. Rafa is a genius.

4-1
Sorry Ned, just realised you were talking Newcastle.
It was just a noise. :joy:

There’s more than one of these tho.
