I think I've finally lost patience with Lamela this season but our bench in the 1st leg was Gazza, KWP, Davies, Skipp, Foyth, Dier and Sissoko.
1) No, he isn't leaving
I think if there was any chance at all to appeal it, Barcelona would have done so rigorously. I was actually kind of surprised they didn't, but as another poster said, there's nothing wrong with taking a corner quickly.
Should have if the ref actually checked it.
Ajax are the clear favourites. More injuries for us (again, ffs) and they have the advantage from the first leg. They're an excellent team all over as well.
The straws I'm clutching at currently:
-Sissoko is back!
-Son is back!
-It will arguably be the first time that Ajax are favourites in the competition so will be interesting to see how they cope with that
-One of the Dutch posters was suggesting that the Netherlands are collectively talking about how Ajax are going to fare in the final already and I saw one of their forums where some of the posters were talking about a 4-0 victory etc. In fairness, I don't blame them for their confidence but hopefully the players are the same
Yeah, nobody from any other country or club here was talking about already being in the next round and predicting “smash” games in the order of 3, 4-0 every damn day, not in the least City and Tottenham fans assessing the strength of their future opponents.Ah the Dutch' arrogance, never fails to amaze
How is that a regression? It means boring teams can't get away with just 1 goal and parking the bus like Mourinho's Internazionale.
You're right, Ajax fans are not unique in that at all. Though having said that, as far as Spurs fans I've spoken to personally, very few expected us to go through vs City and the overwhelming majority gave Ajax the respect they deserved.Yeah, nobody from any other country or club here was talking about already being in the next round and predicting “smash” games in the order of 3, 4-0 every damn day, not in the least City and Tottenham fans assessing the strength of their future opponents.
Juve was already proclaimed champions with an “easy route to the final” etc.
Should one really expect to browse a fan forum and not find arrogance, misplaced or over the top confidence and pride all over the place?
Hell, a Willem II fan already got a tattoo of the “cupwinner 2019” prior to playing Ajax...

And yeah he had it adapted and says he isn’t sorry he got a tattoo of the cup and date in the first place.
If you mean after the goal went in, then yeah Suarez was appealing offside against Origi
Ajax players aren’t arrogant, they’re cocky because they know the attitude is justified by their 1337 skillz.You're right, Ajax fans are not unique in that at all.

I just found it funny because there are some on here that like taking any opportunity to criticise the English/ fans of the PL teams for apparent arrogance when it is clearly a universal trait.
I'm obviously hoping some of that arrogance seeps down to the players but I'm sure it won't.
it's fair enough though after eliminating Juve and Real.Tweet

I'm from Canada and use DAZN. It's quite good imo. It's dependent on your Internet connection, so as long as that is good, the quality will be fine. Typically, they leave full matches somewhere between 3 days to a week after the match has been played. What I like is that I can watch a match after it has been played without there being any spoilers as the score is not written. I watch a lot of Serie A, La Liga, and CL, so there are a lot of matches - they have the option of watching each match.
The internet has brakes?
No, it would just be the top 4. Extra places are only needed when a side outside of the top 4 wins a trophy.
I see, so its only if Arsenal are 5th in the league and win the Europa League then they would qualify and make it 5 from England.
Yeah so c'mon Valencia and if that fails c'mon Chelsea! Can't be the only top 6 side not to qualify.I see, so its only if Arsenal are 5th in the league and win the Europa League then they would qualify and make it 5 from England.
Had my hopes up there for a second
The most asked question in football - how many teams qualify for the CL in various scenarios.
Winks and Sánchez out. Kane obviously out... Though there are rumours he may be on the bench (doubt it).
Thanks , Kane would be back for final , if you make it?
Same with Spurs.

I've always felt that whoever goes through is the better team in Europe. They might be worse overall - us last season against City, or Spurs this season against City being the most prominent examples, but they are better suited to continuing in the Champion's League.So who has the best chance of beating Liverpool in the Final :
Ajax or Tottenham ?
Yeah, that is gutting. IIRC didn't VVD escape what looked a red card and penalty fairly early? Then there's that last minute shot that just hit Allison's face. Moments like that and Dembele's shocking cameo have put their name on the trophy.
It's not. It's quality and form on the day which partly comes down to luck.
Said it in the TAA thread but Robertson was bloody magnificent defensively over the two legs. Acted stupidly with the Messi shove but aside from that he showed that it's not a weakness at all. It's great to see us have a world class player again! (Scotland).
They're working.
