RickG16 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 So which teams are you preferred winners for the upcoming CL and EL finals. Obviously your own team if they are playing, but who else.....? I'll take Spurs and Chelsea please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise I would have to justify my opinion as this thread is about who is our "preferred winners". IMO, a team that has reached the final twice in 2 years is showing consistency and therefore, again IMO, probably deserve it more than the opposition. That's why I have named Liverpool as my preferred choice. That said, anything can happen in a one off game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I have named Liverpool as my preferred choice. That said, anything can happen in a one off game. Yes, the OP was simply seeking one's preference. You were the first to offer some unsolicited justification for your selection to which I responded. Your opinion and reasoning is sound as in retrospect, the European greats like Barça, Bayern and Juve have all gone off the boil of late. Wasn't it refreshing to see Ajax doing so well so quickly? No matter, I do reckon it is Liverpool's to lose (again). I just wonder if the 'aftershock' from whatever happens this weekend in the EPL will still have any impact on how Liverpool approaches the CL in June. A very emotive subject with the possibility of Liverpool rubber stamping the rediscovery of their lost European greatness a very popular theme right now. But it seems there's far more pressure and value in them getting the EPL crown THIS year. It's that or face another year with the empty trophy cabinet being conflated with some far-fetched allusion of being 'adrift' in a domestic, top-flight footy wilderness. But maybe that's just how the (mainly) Everton fans give themselves a warm-fuzzy feeling? By the same token, with Spurs being the perpetual EPL bridesmaid of late, maybe their approach in Madrid will be less pressurized than the Anfield one? I see more value in spreading the English club success in Europe with Spurs joining the top pantheon, if only momentarily since their last European successes were so long ago, nobody can remember the dates off hand. At least nobody's making too much about their ~35 years in the European trophy 'wilderness'. Maybe next year someone will look up that stat when the owners get tired of Poch (or vice versa) and they start selling Kane, Alderweireld and other assets to help pay for the new house. So for the CL, I kinda favor Spurs. Get 'er done while you have a half-decent shot at it. Klopp's crew can wait another 12 months as they aint going anywhere. For the EC. No brainer there. Arsenal.

At least nobody's making too much about their ~35 years in the European trophy 'wilderness'. WRT the apparent insignificance of Spur's last winning appearance in a European final, this popped up on another forum and it made me spill my tea. Apologies if it's an old one but I think it's a good one. "BREAKING: Madrid police have raised concerns that Tottenham fans may take flares to the stadium on 1st June. Because that’s what they wore the last time they were in a European final." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champers Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Arsenal for the Europa League. I like Emery and enjoy watching Lacazette and Aubemayang. Don't mind about Liverpool or Spurs. Both have good claims deserving it. Spurs produced the most drama in the QF and SF. I can relate to that more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
