    I'm like most in knowing **** all about this current Ajax team. Anything can happen over a high pressure 90 minutes (or more).
    The Dutch must be a half decent outfit though to have got this far. Interesting match up, I shall be watching it.

    The most amusing thing is MU's season hangs on this game, its massive for them <laugh>

    Not really, we already have a trophy in the bag.
    What is funny is that your season hangs on a game against a relegated team and it's massive for you <laugh>

    So you think the league cup and 6th is a successful season?

    For us, no.
    If we manage to win the EL it will be satisfactory though, CL group qualification and two trophies, which other team apart from Chelsea can better that?

    Should be a great final, a truly historical side with a rich European reputation who play in red and white versus a shower of ****e from the Salford Sunday leagues

    So we can have on record that if you win the EL you consider Man Utd to have had the 2nd best season of every PL team?

    So surely your season is hanging on this one game then.

    Yep, sad but true (though we do have a pot in the cabinet).
    What's your opinion of your season hanging on the Middlesboro game?

    Our season only hangs on it if all of our rivals win all of their games. That's what happens every season, not something new <ok>

    New is the most expensive squad in history coming 6th <ok>

    The thing is....

    Utd dont have a worrysone game for anyone.

    They have a good solid defence that conceeds fewer goals but is not very active or mobile.

    The basics seem to be a 3 man midfield with a deep lying midfielder in schone and the 20 goal klaasan and ziyech as no 8s or box to box players as it were.

    Dolberg plays up front and traore is another familar name

    In the end utd will be going in with the dinkeys brothers at the back and sideshow in midfield. Darmian on left side and really.... its not dynamic.

    Ajax surprised lyon and got a big lead 4-1 but ****ed iip return to scrape through

    On one night anything could happen so you have to get the feeling that first goal will be decisive

    As usual i think utd will rely on de gea at times and try to break with rashford and lingard

    Utd will be a threat just from sideshow route one so.... well.. i just feel the choice of ref will have a big bearing as utd could easily bully them off park if let at it.

    By being competent football teams who don't need to fluke a few cup results to paper over the cracks

    It's funny how many Mancs are simultaneously saying "this will be a great season if we win the EL... but next season had better be a lot different or else #mourinhoout "
