United isn't going to trash anyone. I still think they win, but I bet they make it the most boring final, playing to just cancel out and win 1-0 or 2-0

Amazing celebrations after each goal; an 18 year wait ended. Put a lump in my throat and I couldn't care less about the club (but Rotterdam's cool)
(But I hope nobody forgets; they won by a point or so, against an Ajax team with an avg. age of around 21.)
Kuyt with a hat-trick; one of their best ever players returning as a legend, a la Torres / Atletico. 
It's the manager's boyhood club, too. :wub:

They won't trash the Godenzonen. Ajax are my hometown team so I watch them all the time - the progress made this season has been remarkable. Totaalvoetbal is back, Bosz has done a magnificent job, and honestly, with how free scoring Ajax are, and how much United struggle against high pressing teams... Ajax have a chance. Naturally I'm backing them, but you can't ignore United's individual quality. A win for Ajax is a win for football though (gosh, never thought I'd say that given people always say it against Chelsea). Let's all be Ajacieden for a day and hope that United collapse.

There were moments when Chelsea fans discussed for eternity, which one is better Hazard or Robben on the flank, and Lampard come up with a solution, put Robben on the left and Hazard on the right.

The other way round is actually much more suitable given either's preference for cutting inside.

they could switch positions in the flanks, much like what Duff and Robben used to do, to give defenders nightmares. @@RoyalBlues

Both Jose & Pep spent too long in Spain. They must've been so arrogant to genuniely believe only Madrid vs. Barcelona matters with all else said; because everything suggests they didn't study 1 other team during their tenures. Sure, they spoke with scouts and whatnot pre-game to scope out who they're against, but neither of them watched the progression of the football world. Neither of them watched the slow rise and declines of other leagues, seemingly.

Both are better brands than managers now. And that's because they put more energy into shaving adverts etc. than re-remembering the basics.
Neither seems like a fan of the game, like they wish they were on the pitch. The managers on top right now do give that energy.
