Baffling. Because we’re one of a handful of English clubs to win the European Cup, we don’t want anyone else joining that elite group. Don’t want Spurs or City anywhere near the CL trophy. It was bad enough when Chelsea won it. For any team that has already won it, it makes little difference if they do so again. Another point is that it’s a crap to have two teams from the same country in the final, because then it’s like a domestic cup.

Baffling. What's the difference between wanting Spurs to win and wanting Ajax to win? Because one of them has a home stadium that's slightly closer to Villa Park? I don't really get the idea that where a team is from should have any bearing at all. What I do find baffling is support of other English clubs in Europe. Why would we want teams who are ultimately going to be our rivals, if we get where we want to be, gaining prestige, money and trophies to become a more attractive place for top players? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, if anything Ajax are the team other than villa I grew up watching, loved that mid 90s team, they mean a lot more to me than spurs or Liverpool Agree with the 2nd point too, all it does is widen the gap, who wants that?

Lichfield Dean Posted May 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 8, 2019 Honestly, watching this, I think even we'd have Ajax pinned in their own half. They are just a shambles this half. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Spurs have been very unlucky here, but then, Ajax could have killed it off as well. What a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
