Clean-sweep of teams in the European finals after dramatic semi-finals. Final day title battle on Sunday. Possible upset in the FA Cup next week. Play-offs about to start. It doesn't get any better than this does it?

I'd agree with that tbh! Mainly because there were quite a few players in that squad that came through the ranks.

It isn't English. It's the best players that money can buy.

Ruined club football. Bring back limiting non UK player numbers. Never did fergie any harm.

I stopped supporting United some time ago now, it's a foreign team in a foreign league.

Yeah. And VHS recorders - why can't we have them back too ? And Miss World competitions. And the Internet - get rid of it and bring back hanging while we are at it.

I can't be bothered to look it, but I'm sure the vast majority of first team starters are coloured folks (brexiteers saying), and a SMALL number are english.

Arsenal , Liverpool & Chelsea average about 1 English starter per game whereas Spurs average at least 4 per game .

Sorry, explain what you mean. We're talking about 4 teams from the same country being the 4 finalists in the 2 European competitions.

I actually misread it TBH, I thought he meant winners not finalists.

A very rare mistake on my behalf.
