Fond memories of watching the Valencia team from the early 2000s. Golden era for them and was hoping they’d win the CL when they made successive finals.

Quality throughout the squad. Cañizares in goal, Ayala was a beast of a centre half. Mendieta in his prime, he did as he pleased. Kily Gonzalez out wide. And my favourite of that era, Aimar. Glorious footballer.

The Mestalla is an awesome stadium, that Carew goal in the quarters still haunts me. Looking forward to tomorrow morning’s game.

Really shits me that it could be an all England final.

After 37 leagues games I’m sick to death of seeing English teams.

I mean, you could watch a few Bundesliga or Serie A games..

After seeing the reversals in the CL semi's, I wouldn't be counting my chickens just yet.

Seems you're arguing against your own side making it here....That, or you fear Chelsea the most.

I mean....I could? But not sure how that’s going to stop Arsenal from playing 38 league games?

Not sure where I said it was going to be an all England final, only that it was possible.
Yeah I’m terrified of Chelsea 🙄 or maybe being a European competition it would be nice to face off against teams that aren’t from England.

On current form Arsenal probably beat Valencia away so it may not even matter.

Last I checked, England are still a part of Europe.....Heck, they still can't even get BREXIT through for Pete's sake & they also play & partake in the European competitions.

You've played against plenty of other European teams along the way....Clearly, the Pommy competition is the strongest & the best....So you'll need to both meet & beat the best in Europe in order to win the Europa League.

Can only hear Frankfurt fans on the TV. English fans (bar Liverpool) really need to take notice
