Blue ROI Posted 30 April 2019 Posted 30 April 2019 Ajax would surely be one of very few teams to win all of their away games in the knockout stage on the way to a final
Chester Dontlie Posted 30 April 2019 Posted 30 April 2019 Brilliant, only slightly disappointed it didn't end 2-0 but have to admit Spuds reacted well in the second half. Still expect nothing less than Ajax banging them in Amsterdam. They are the best what happened to CL in many years... at least since Leicester's European campaign!
Corky Posted 30 April 2019 Posted 30 April 2019 Some bloke was on SSN asking why we don't cancel games to help our teams in Europe earlier. Er, when will we actually play them? Europe takes up virtually every midweek from February onwards.

His claim at the end about Ajax’s midfield in the second half was utter deluded claptrap
Mr Mister Posted 30 April 2019 Posted 30 April 2019 I still tip Spurs to go through to the final, as they will have Son back, and he will score in Amsterdam.
Carl the Llama Posted 30 April 2019 Posted 30 April 2019 Just got in and seen the result, bloody hell You just know it's going to be 1-2 or 2-3 in the second leg though.

The midfield had tailed off and I presume just very knackered from the first half performance and the pressing. Schone looked shattered hence coming off and they couldn't really get near the ball, hence Ajax just hoofing it up the field anyway as the game closed out and as Tottenham pressed for the equaliser.

Spurs had a twenty minute spell at tops, and then quickly tired. The language he used was plain daft. If he said Spurs neutralised that would have made more sense than ‘capitulated’
Wymsey Posted 30 April 2019 Posted 30 April 2019 Ajax' style-of-play is similar to LCFC'S under Rodgers currently. Smooth, quick and easy on the eye. Hope they go on and win it. Can't imagine the media love-in if Liverpool do somehow manage to win both the Champions League and PL..
The Horse's Mouth Posted 1 May 2019 Posted 1 May 2019 Spurs will be happy with that in the end, always better the 2nd leg being the away leg
StanSP Posted 1 May 2019 Posted 1 May 2019 I see some Liverpool fans have been absolute twats yesterday in Barcelona.

Or will it just be played off as 'banter' which will be idiotic and not calling out for what it actually is.

UniFox21 Posted 1 May 2019 Posted 1 May 2019 Think it was criminal how Vertonghen was let back on the pitch. You can clearly see the lads in a different world and shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near the pitch again. It's going to take someone getting seriously hurt for better rules to be brought in.

Vacamion Posted 1 May 2019 Posted 1 May 2019 Just saw a video of Liverpool fans misbehaving. Given their tragic history, you would think, of all fans anywhere, that Liverpool fans would have a massive taboo on acting the arsehole whilst abroad. If, for example, Scotland fans can generally "police themselves" and have a largely trouble free but still very boozy trip, you would think that the Scousers would call out and eradicate such stuff, but they do it again and again. They make it very difficult to like them.
CosbehFox Posted 1 May 2019 Posted 1 May 2019 Ultimately it's where fans of British clubs go too far. You'll have Dutch and German travel in huge numbers this week - they will stand and chant in a central area. They won't however abuse locals or tourists. Imagine if the uproar here if some poor tourists was lumped in a fountain outside Buckingham Palace. Police from abroad have different ways of dealing with it. Some will pick out the trouble makers and arrest them. Some will just contain it all to one area and be happy their city gets an Economic boost. The Spanish however they go for everyone. You'd think English fans abroad would have wised up by now
Dan Posted 1 May 2019 Posted 1 May 2019 3 hours ago, Voll Blau said: Yep. Bet they don't get half the grief we got for Madrid either. It was primarily their fans having a go at us in Madrid as well from what I read online. Was the first time I started to see why Liverpool were very disliked.
RowlattsFox Posted 1 May 2019 Posted 1 May 2019 Generally english fans abroad are a disgrace really, not everyone I know but its more than just a couple of knobheads, if you include those that laugh and go along with it. We seen it for ourselves, in Seville I remember one local guy on a bike getting a lot of unwanted attention. I think he saw the funny side and went along with it but it wasn't nice. Not hard to have a good time, enjoy a drink without disrespecting the place your visiting and abusing people just enjoying a holiday or locals. Worst thing about the culprits is that they are 'adults' not just late teens/young adults playing up.

There's always going to be a few that take it too far, it's just highlighted more these days with social media. **SOME GERMAN AND DUTCH**
