But no-one can be that certain, that's not how football worksOriginally Posted by HCZ_Reborn
I'm willing to bet if you'd been asked right at the beginning of the FAC campaign if Palace would win it you'd have said 'no chance', 'certainly not' etc

So I’ve written how I felt about the match going into it and your response is to question it.
“Your feelings were wrong”
I felt the way I felt chief, if Spurs had won my (complacency if you will) clearly would have been misplaced, but that’s not how it turned out.
But if it helps you, I’m sorry for not being as nervous as you were
I was shitting bricks in 2019. I didn’t even enjoy our EL run because I was sickened over the thought of them winning the CL before us.
I do think they’ll beat United this week but it would just be mildly annoying. I’m not going to bother myself over them winning a competition I hope we aren’t competing in ever again.

And it appears you are far from alone in that feeling
I was very confident (as it turns out completely wrongly) that we’d beat Chelsea in the final
As for Spurs? I remember being more put out that they’d got through to the final because I wanted Ajax to win the European cup (nostalgia for the 1995 Winning team). Rightly or wrongly it never crossed my mind even for a second that they’d beat Liverpool. I thought Liverpool back then were ridiculously unlucky not to be title winners, they overturned a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona in one of the most impressive European performances I’d seen from any side for years, and Spurs had crawled their way into the top four. Just didn’t seem viable to me
As I said on another thread, if they do win it, at least there's the fact that there's no disguising how bad they've been in the league this season, so it just hows up how bad the EL is, no spuds fan can call it a truly 'successful season' (though it won't stop them obvs...)
Personally I think Man Utd, as bad as they are, are good at turning up and winning cups and think they have a good chance
It's hard to call. They are two really poor teams and Spurs have beaten Utd both times this year.
But...Utd do have this knack of blundering their way to trophies after poor seasons. They did it last year which is why they're in the competition in the first place.
I'll be pissed off if Spurs win and the thought of them having an open top bus parade is sickening.
But...honestly, these days it is a bit of a tin pot trophy. They've pushed so many of the better sides in to the CL now that the other competitions really are the dregs of European football.
So I guess that will be my coping mechanism. This isn't like 2019. Dear God, can you imagine them winning the CL?
This would be annoying but nothing more.
Omg! As soon as the Spuds best Ajax (on my fucking birthday and celebrating prematurely when they were 0-3 down on aggregate), that was the longest three weeks of my football life (even though I was a 52 year old bloke!). I couldn't even bring myself to watch the game or check the score
Was it just me over thinking that night?

There are lots of things I can get unnecessarily bothered by. I simply dismissed the possibility that Spurs could win it, and never really felt doubt or concern.
I don’t recall even thinking that much about the game, even on the day it was played
Of course I celebrated Origi’s goal, but never felt nervous during the game. They did dominate possession and chances in the second half but they really were quite toothless

I was just leaving on a work trip to Edinburgh and was flying. Checked my phone before we took off - 2-0 to Ajax so...lolz. Spurs gotta Spurs.Omg!

Landed and checked my phone and...oh fuck OFF!
I thought Liverpool were favourites but I also couldn't bear watching it. I was actually driving back from something when the final was on, I knew Spurs had gone 1-0 down but nothing else.
The M25 was being a pain and I was at a standstill so I did have a cheeky check - I knew the game was over by then. Saw the result, thought "oh thank fuck" and went home a little happier!
I'm less bothered about Wednesday because although it would be a pain if they won the competition is so devalued now that as much as they'll be strutting around it'll be pretty easy to dismiss their "achievement". They've hardly swept aside the cream of European football.
I can't really remember anything about the final bar the two goals.
I think it was probably a bit shit.
