I'm not much of a Liverpool or Tottenham fan but over the last two nights they have certainly kept us football fans entertained, first Liverpool ruining many betting slips by making an unexpected comeback and beating Barcelona and last night Tottenham winning the game with literally the last kick of the game.
Plaudits go to both teams both now the prickly dilemma of who to cheer for in the Final.
I know many Liverpool fans and they are right up there with Manchester United fans who will drone on forever and ever and ever about their teams successes if they come back from Madrid with the pot.
As an Arsenal fan who also knows an unhealthy amount of Spurs fans, them winning it would also be the ninth circle of hell right there if our nearest rivals win it so it's quite a conundrum as one of them has to be victorious.
It would be mitigated if Arsenal win the Europa League Cup, and with a 3-1 lead over Valencia going into tonight's semi-final second leg you must fancy their chances of getting to the final at least, but that cup is the minor one compared to the one offered by the Champions League so no real bragging rights there.
If Arsenal and Chelsea make it to the final then all four finalists in the European Competitions will be from the English Premier League which is exciting but as for the winner from Tottenham or Liverpool, i'm going to have to go for the scousers for two reasons.
The first is the Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp who seems a lovely, smiley and affable guy and secondly because while Liverpool fans will be annoying for the next decade, Tottenham fans bang on endlessly when they finish above Arsenal in the League so they will be even worse if they win the major European trophy so come on you Reds, you're never walk alone and all that.
