After reading how Liverpool have saved football from the oil money of the world, let's get real! It's stories like Leicester and this season's Ajax that are truly remarkable.
Champions League Semi Finals (30th April - 8th May)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yesterday I hated football, today I feel the spark again
The way Ajax play is why we all love football. Too bad we don't feel that spark too often anymore watching United
Definitely hard to see a United player run like Ziyech did at the moment
Or pass.
Or cross.
Or shoot.
Or do anything to be fair.
Spurs arent scoring three. Well played Ajax... expecting some showboating in the late game

United now aspire to like the team they beat in EL final a few years back.
One team pushed on while the other stood still.

He's been keeping it on ready five since last week.
I mean Liverpool are pretty potent too.
I said in a post above, both sides WILL get chances. It’ll be about who has the composure to finish them.
It’ll be an exciting game for sure.
Actually, went backwards. By some degree too.
Only complaint is that I hoped for more excitement. Spurs are putting up an equal fight to Willem 2 on sunday.
Football outside of United is a beautiful thing. Take a step back and appreciate the beautiful game for what it is, not what United have made it since sir Alex left.
Ajax's best results have come away from home. Liverpool's best results have come at Anfield. Hopefully Ajax can surprise us all AGAIN.
Ajax the great beacon of hope for football. Romance, nostalgia, total football.. they are everything good and pure about football. So happy for them. The Dutch Masters.
Ajax have got this in the bag CL title.

Can we swap everything with Ajax please?
Seriously just sell half of this useless, tragic bunch of footballers.
Would rather have not even got in to the semi final if we're going to play like this. What's the fecking point? Embarrassing shite. Go through all of that in the two legs vs City only to turn up and not even be competitive in the next round.
Absolutely dire, 1/10s all round.

Yeah if we’re being entirely objective, Liverpool vs Ajax is the final that this season of the CL deserves.
Someone tell @GlastonSpur (because he likes to talk £££) his team has been spanked home and away by a side that cost less than Sissoko
Imagine us playing like this. And winning. Don't think I've ever seen it.
We wouldn’t have done any worse against Ajax, essentially Spurs are just as shite as we are.
2:0 HT, not bad considering Ajax played mostly with 10 man, having Dolberg or not, makes no difference.
Liverpool must be devastated that they'll face the actual "good guys of football loved worldwide"
So, not "Everybody wants us to win, la! The passion, the history, la!" anymore.

Hopefully one more after this to complete the set
With the way they’re playing, deservedly beating those clubs, I wouldn’t rule out. That said, of course we’ll be favorites and it would be a massive let down if we don’t win it. Van Dijk probably cost than the entire Ajax squad, which says a lot about what they’ve achieved (almost).
Welcome to our world.
Ajax have been playing incredible. Spurs playing like don't belong into the semifinal, half of their squad can't pass the ball properly, Eriksen and Wanyama being the worst at that.
Tottenham are just spoilers. Spoiled city's quintiple.
A rare occasion that you solidly say the two teams in the final are deffo the two best sides in Europe on current form.

So glad that the neutrals will not be for Liverpool.
Well tbf you didn't deserve to go through against City
We didn't, but we gave it a fecking go. We played some good football (really good football in the first leg).
This is just awful. Yes, Ajax are incredibly impressive but holy shit we are less than a mid table side right now. Our form and performances are relegation threatened club level.
Pochettino has so much work to do in the summer, if he's not backed Levy can feck the feck off. So much shite to clear out.
That may be difficult, they don't have internet access in India.
And probably the two most exciting to watch.
Is that actually true? Because if it is then that would be insane.
Hoddle
Foul my ass.
Foul my ass.
I truly hope the 4-0 yesterday remains Liverpool's high point this 2019.
It's hard to imagine a United player running freely, let alone running at the end of the season. Feel like I'm watching the IAAF Diamond League tonight.
I know, but I’m a bit too young to remember it.
Joke of a pundit.
Sadly, we're a few points shitter, just enough to be in the Europa League next season.
