08 MAY 2019; Ajax-Tottenham; CL Semi-Final

[Orange14]

All to play for on Wednesday. I'll be coming home from New York that day and should be home in time for the kick off (my wife's mother is celebrating her 95th birthday on Tuesday).

This team has brought a lot of joy to all of us this season!!!!

CL is on BT over here but I dont subscribe and always catch a stream, my lad has BT and I will go and watch with him. He is a Gooner and will cheer on Ajax. Well he hates Spurs.

My eldest son ,who lives in Cornwall,sent me a message, he also is a Gooner and hates Spurs, so will cheer on Ajax. So for 90 mins my 2 sons will not be taken the piss out of me and my beautiful team but cheer them on.

According to the Spurs Official Twitter account, Sanchez picked up an injury against Bournemouth and is unavailable tomorrow. Jan is back in training with a face mask.

No Kane either.

Also all the Spurs fans are making Son sound like he's the second coming of Cruijff.

[Orange14]

Other than Eriksen, Spurs MF is rubbish. As long Ajax press, Son should not be much of a factor.

Exactly what I've been thinking to myself. If they play Son instead of Llorente, they lose their route 1 option which they used fairly regularly last week. If De Ligt and Blind can mark Ronaldo out of games, how is Son going to manage to beat them. Unless I don't really understand his strengths.

Sanchez's raw speed did save Spurs twice last week IIRC.

sanchez is out for the game tomorrow, looks like jan will wear a protective mask and not sure about his status for the game tomorrow since spurs are saying they are still monitoring him. i think with son back, the spurs team will be much more dangerous. if our full backs get caught up too far up front, there could be trouble. he's also a much better finisher. agree we need to press them, just gotta be careful up front. anyways, we can totally do it and my afternoon from 3-5 PM is blocked so good luck to anyone trying to schedule a meeting with me tomorrow :)

LOL. We are in New York City today for my wife's mother's 95th birthday. We have a bus back home and I should be back in time for the kickoff. Even if I'm a little late it's taking. If I was still working I would call in sick.

come visit on the UWS! but 95 is impressive, i hope she's an ajax supporter as well. i know you got her an ajax jersey with de ligt's name on the back, right?

[Amol]

I'm leaving to go up to Albany in the evening. Else we could've all met up for beers.

PM me and kezme44 the next time you're up.

[Amol]

Wow. Liverpool scored 3 and 25 minutes to go.

[Orange14]

Wow, Liverpool overturn a three goal deficit. Ajax are the last hope to prevent an all English final!!! Take care of business tomorrow.

[Amol]

Barca were terrible. Only plan was to pass to Messi and hope for the best.

In a way I'm glad we won't get to see Messi go at Blind, De Ligt and Co. But these English team never seem to tire. Liverpool had so much energy.

[SPL]

Just thinking of beating Spurs and then winning that title.Will think about the final after that.

wonder how much longer they can call it a Champions league,Liverpool last champs 29 years ago ,Spurs back in 1961!

[rjf1]

And that last championship for Liv also involved pulling four goals out of a hat -- at the very end of the second leg -- to snatch a victory from the jaws of what looked like certain defeat. Made a hero of Rafa Benitez among the Liv faithful to this very day.

[Cruijff]

Also all the Spurs fans are making Son sound like he's the second coming of Cruijff.

He really looks like a Playstation or Xbox360 character in the game FIFA to me, to be honest.

95 is a great age!!!
Also '95 was a great year for Ajax.

Another sign that we'll win!

[Orange14]

About to head back home. If Ajax can take care of the midfield they should do ok. I'll catch up with everyone later on today!! Be brave Ajax!
