      Mak… nobody was talking about the Ajax match because there wasn’t a lot to talk about. Spuds got schooled for 35 minutes or so, were lucky to be only losing by one, then the change due to injury was made and the match got a lot more even between the teams. Spuds have some half chances from set pieces, and seemingly unsettled Ajax a bit (certainly a bit more than they did in the first 35 minutes!) by playing a bit more direct. Will hopefully play a lot better next week, will have Son back, know a bit more about how Ajax play, and if they score first, it’s game on… all us Spuds are pretty much in agreement and despite the off-side being incredibly close for the goal, there really isn’t much to whine debate! 🙂

      I’ll stick my neck out here and say whoever scores first is going through in that game!!

        Liverpool face a massive task but it’s not totally impossible especially should they score early although I can’t see Barca not scoring which would then make it even harder for Liverpool.

        I’ve got a sneaky feeling Spurs might pull it back at Ajax who have a Cup Final to contend with tomorrow ahead of Wednesday’s game. But if Ajax score first it might be a long way back.

        In the EL can Chelsea keep a clean sheet and take their chances at the other end they should have won in Frankfurt and can the Arsenal defence hold out in Valencia?

        Massive week of football Monday to Thursday kicked off on Monday night by City v Leicester.

          Not unexpected with the title won.

            The benefits of dominating a joke league.

              The benefits of dominating a joke league. It has indeed been a one-team league! I reckon teams like Leicester or Wolves would have finished 2nd.

                La Liga doesn’t go as deep as the PL and Real are going through a transitional period currently but the two Madrid teams and Barca dominate the top of the table consistently and all three have done well in Europe over the last few seasons.

                Apart from the unlikely Leicester title win three teams have dominated the PL title all the way back to 2003.

                  Nine, there’s not a lot I can do to backup thus claim but I think the PL is generally if a higher standard. I bet we’d do better in Europe if we could choose when to rest our side for the coming CL match.

                  But let’s talk money. The teams outside the big 3 get a tiny fraction of the tv money. Compare that to the PL that has had a much fairer distribution.

                    Ironically, as much as I am against a Euro League, I do also think English team would do pretty well as they’re a lot more used to the idea of a lot of games against decent opposition.

                      Agreed. I am also generally against it. I won’t lie and say that it would be interesting… just too much to sacrifice though.

                        Not concerned about Tuesday. Just need to get a bit of pride back.

                        No Salah or firmino. Just to win the game be huge. Give them a scare but they will score.

                          Haha lads I’m more hope of a 1 night stand with Taylor Swift than Liverpool are of progressing in the C/L, hopefully they go out & have a massive crack like a lot of games last season but barca WILL score so just enjoy the atmosphere & have fun.
                          As us Scousers always say, Next season.

                            Ya, it’s done. The lads are tired. We should rest them and give ourselves some chance of taking the title against wolves.

                            I guess we’ll see now with Leicester. They can male Klopps decision process a bit easier by taking points off city.

                              Looks like Highlander FC are going to be without both Lionel Salah and “Colgate” Fermino… that’s a hell of a mountain to climb…

                                Chelsea picking up lots of injuries now to key players Rudiger, Hudson Odoi both out for the rest of the Season now Kante joins Ampadu.

                                Hopefully if we can get past Eintracht Kante might be fit for the Final on the 29th May touch and go though.

                                  Salah and Firmino officially ruled out. God damnit.

                                    This season is very seemingly turning into an episode of “The Walking Dead”…

                                    Trying to remember if 4 years ago it was the same after the last World Cup but I can’t really remember that far back, to be honest. But everybody really seems to be suffering…

                                      Utd are suffering more than most with the likes of Phil Jones, Pogba, Sanchez and Co remaining almost injury free!
