NLD Countdown

Draw is always the best bet, but we need to end a 5 match winless run against them.
The away trip to Greece will give us a disadvantage, but we did well after the last one. However, that Europa tie has to be the priority. Losing this NLD won't make much difference to our season in all truth - as long as we do them if we have the seemingly inevitable meeting in the EL.

Agree that Europa is more important but still love the feeling you get after a win over Spurs. But yeah I'd prefer to meet them in the Europa and smash them - preferably in the final.

Odd that we've never played them in any sort of final in our history but played the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool several times down the years.

Yeah that Europa game really *should* scupper a lot of your preparation

Well we had a full week of prep last week for the burnley game. Yeah we woz robbed but still we weren't on top form. Not focusing on Spurs until Friday might be good for us.

That’s because we were pretty hopeless for a period of 15-20 years and didn’t get to many finals!!
But yes still a bit weird how we’ve had a few FA cup semis, and a couple of league cup ones but not the final.

True haha but back in the 50s, 60s,70s and 80s we were level pegging but still rarely played each other apart from in the league. Would personally love the pressure and build up of a NL Cup Final.

A win would be all the sweeter.

NL Cup final would be horrible

posted on 8/3/21

Have had a lot of semi finals in my lifetime. 87, 91, 93, 01, 07, 08. There was another year where we were drawn together but Spurs were still playing and lost the quarter (03/04 I think). Think in that time we have had one year where both clubs were in the semi and drawn apart (16/17)

I think United will be in the Europa final, with Spurs or Arsenal as their opponents.

I personally would hate a NLD final - it would be unbearable.

Poss those warm balls eh ? probably some reason why the FA wanted someone else in the final when the two semi's were played in the early 90's.

Why? usually an attacking game as neither side is very good at defending. I mean Aurier FFS

Don’t get me wrong, the actual game will be great, 2 sides that can’t defend if their lives depended on it. We have the better attack, but Arsenal have shown multiple times they can beat anyone on their day.

I would hate it because finals are already must not lose games, so a NLD final would be even bigger with horrible pressure

Yeah agree. A defeat would be terrible and you'd never live it down. A win however and the day out would be unforgettable. Went to Greenwoods in Victoria when we beat Chelsea last year and the atmosphere was great. Ex Chels player, Paul Cannoville was drinking with the Chels fans and make a sharp exit literally 5 secs after the final whistle

The first leg at the toilet bowl went down as expected, sadly.

Can't wait to play them at the Emirates though.

Arsenal 2-1.

Kane with his standard penalty, of course.

I hope Spurs win with some injustice served to the gooners. Nothing better to see the gooners lose and them feeling like the world is against them LOL

Pat Jennings Shield would be better tbf - as he was equally loved by both sets of fans.

just Jennings Shield is pretty catchy

This game feels like the Rohan Ricketts Derby due to their league positions.

A fitting tribute to a wonderful player. If David Bentley could only achieve half of what Rohan did in his career then he'd be a lucky man.
