Who do we want in the final then?

[Dr Nowt]

Ajax Liverpool is a proper European royalty final.

 

Spurs being there would cheapen the sense of occasion a touch. Not any victory, but the magic around the game itself.

 

Europe’s not about playing other English teams, especially not in the final.

[moof]

Ajax. Spurs don’t belong 

[liverpoolsno9]

Would never underestimate Ajax as they look fucking boss. But if they did manage to get to the final, all the build up and all the shit leading upto It is absolutely massive, especially for a team so young. Reckon it could overwhelm them. We’ve been there, lost and worn the T-shirt. Experience of these occasions means a lot. Of course, the same could be said of Spurs, but thats countered by them knowing us so well, and it being a like a Prem game, it would take some of the pressure off. Come on Ajax.

[Jordy Brouwer]

Probably prefer Ajax.

Jim White has stated that kane may be fit for tonight.

Who's actually better though? If you take sentiment out of it. That's maybe a harder question.

Ajax. Spurs are way overrated and lucky to be in the semi final at all.

Good

Only place I’ve actually answered this question. I’d prefer Ajax. Liverpool v Ajax is a billing that deserves a final. Liverpool v Spurs sounds like a friendly. That’s not to say I think Spurs would be an easy win just that it wouldn’t feel like a proper European Cup Final.

[Strontium]

I voted Ajax, but I'm not sure now. I think Spurs would approach it as if it was a Premier League game which would be a fatal mistake.

 

Regardless, whoever it is should worry more about facing us than vice versa.

[cloggypop]

I've wanted Ajax since the group stages. 

 

Might be a bad idea watching it in the pub like. 

[Thoth]

Fuck an all English final right off

[manwiththestick]

Whilst the thought of Harry Kane declaring himself fit for the final and strolling around half arsed hoping for a penalty amuses me, fuck playing an English team and the media circus that it would bring.

[magicrat]

Spurs are a known quantity . Not scared of getting them at all, Ajax are a far bigger threat as they play with no fear.

Spurs will quite likely be intimidated by the occasion and our lads have last years final to draw upon.  Spuds for me

[TheDrowningMan]

If Ajax win, we'll be wearing our away kit for the first time in a European Cup final. Is the 2001 UEFA Cup final the only time we've worn it in any European final?

We beat Barca in the semi of that. 

 

And we played a team beginning with A in the final.

Losing to spurs would be worse but I think we'd be more likely to lose too Ajax. So I don't know.

[Einch]

Both. Together or one after the other. Well crush them.

We wore red in 2001 UEFA Cup final!

You’re right! I’ve managed to get it mixed up with the European Super Cup in the same year, somehow.

[Aventus]

Fuck Spurs, I don't want them anywhere near a cup final.

I get the impression they are on a bit of a knife edge, a bad season with no trophies and missing out on CL football combined with lower than average salaries might cause a mass exodus of management and players, and they'll go back into obscurity. If they start making it into European finals they might start getting ideas about sticking round. 

 

I've wanted us to play Ajax since the Madrid game, they are a great fearless attacking team and I'd love to watch them against us, I'm sure Jurgen is excited about the prospect himself, top top level attacking football from 2 European heavyweights. 

[Biscao]

Ajax should suit us well. They play with great risk and we’re better than most at taking advantage.

Is right -- they could do a combined 11 and still be in for it.

They've qualified for the CL.
