That was even better. Proud to be English.
Same here....I can't lose in the final now because an English club is guaranteed to win it.....can't see it but I'd probably prefer Spurs to win it because they haven't won it.

With tomorrow’s Europa league semifinals too.
Does this have the opportunity to be the best week in domestic English Football ever ?

if Arsenal win the europa league, could that mean we get 5 teams in the champs league next year....or would it mean Liverpool winning the Champs League with an Arsenal win would mean Tottenham are stuck in the Europa League? If that makes any sense.... Found my answer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47806720If Arsenal win a Europa League Final then England will have 5 teams in the Champions League (although there is a very slim chance of Arsenal finishing in the top 4, then we wouldn't......unless Tottenham won the Champs League whilst finishing outside the top 4....agggggghhhhh

Just incredible football, drama and excitement. Night after night. Does it matter if non-champions are in the CL? If they are good enough to beat champions then they should progress.
English teams have traditionally shown fighting qualities (as have the fans). We are good with our backs to the wall. We are better at this now as English players now have the technical abilities as well to match foreign players.
Back to Spurs. Who thought they would get near to a final after losing their first 3 group games? Then drawing Man City in the quarter-finals.
It was reported that Ajax had not won a CL match at home since 1996. Maybe that helped Spurs tonight. Ajax have always been outstanding away in the CL. They have been a credit to football. I feel for them.

Not me! (because they did not lose their first 3 group games).

Well, what a magnificent two of days of football.
As a Town, and in general, football fan, I really enjoyed the raw emotion that the two semi's produced. They both literally reduced me to tears, I think mainly because it revoked the play-off final and the Anfield wins in me. Our Liverpool win released that much adrenaline in me that I couldn't sleep for three days, despite working full-time with two small rug rats at home. That's the power and spirit of football. New fans are born in such circumstances.
My boy is now 18 and experienced the play off final with me. Before that game he was glued to the x-box, whereas now, he bugs me to take him to EVERY Town game; he is addicted to Town, win, lose or draw. LETS GET THAT F****ING NEW STADIUM BUILT and re-build our own strong fan base. It is there, it just needs enticing. Fin.

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Or who would have thought after that Man City disallowed goal when they came back from the dead.

Anyone know why the Champs League final is 3 weeks away? Neither team will have a game for 3 weeks after Sunday.. Crazy!
