4 English teams in the European finals. Written in the stars
Also means that one team from Liverpool or Spurs will be going to the Club World Cup in December - In addition the Super Cup in August (?) will also be an all English affair
The first time in history that one nation has provided all four finalists in the two European competitions.
It was difficult to argue it previously but the PL is now, without doubt, the strongest league in the world - the fact that three of those finalists, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea have lost 31 league games between them is evidence enough that there are very few easy games.
I am taking the presence of Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool in the finals as a penance that has to be paid in order for us to be promoted.
Hope Arsenal win the Europa - think I'll have a fiver on Cech to save the key penalty in the shootout to win the trophy and deny his old club with his final touch as a footballer.
“A maximum of five Premier League teams are eligible for UEFA Champions League qualification.
In the event that a Premier League club win the UEFA Champions League and another win the UEFA Europa League and neither of these clubs finish in the top four of the Premier League, the club lying fourth in the table will drop into the UEFA Europa League group stage.”
Feel absolutely Gutted that Chelsea are in final. There scum fans who wrecked the valley turnstiles, their dodgy owner who have ripped off millions of ordinary Russian folk. Their shit celebrity fans. Their thousands of racist fans. A khazi of a football club.

Arsenal at their attacking best tonight. We got a mention on BT in relation to Coquelin.
Charlton Athletic, selling out matches home and away, getting mentioned on tv coverage of major European semi-finals. Big club, that's us.
fuck off
Might even be Spurs v Arsenal...

We've of course had a few Finals between teams from the same country but not Champions League and Europa League in the same season
spurs to win the other
Manchester voted for Brexit.
