Weird how @Juhniallio thinks Ajax v Tottenham was a classic tie but not Liverpool v Roma
I wonder why that is
Because the Man city v spurs swayed one way then the other and back. Liverpool were miles better than Roma and let them back in with outrageous comedy defending. 4-0 or something in the first leg and let in a couple of late goals. Scored first in the second and roma got 2 in last 5 mins or so. Lower quality and way lower drama. Quality and drama were the criteria @choco mentioned.
Just because thereâll all out to get you doesnât mean youâre not paranoidâŚ

I didnât mention Manchester City v Tottenham
Weird how youâre misquoting people again
Seems to be a habit with you these days
I initially said the best sporting drama - you threw in the quality remark when you said they were shite - which was a tad dramatic from yourself
It would be good if we had a handy way of ascertaining which was a better standard between Ajax v Tottenham and Liverpool v Roma
Oh wait, we do
Youâre right, @Sidney added the term quality/standard. I was channeling Ewan to bring a bit of realism maybeâŚ

Go on?
Perhaps youâll work it out 
Or perhaps not
Being slow on the uptake is quite the trademark youâre developing
So if we go back a step back againâ that bastard @flattythehurdler said there are no great spectacles in soccer â I countered saying that the knockout stages of the CL are as good as youâll get ---- while in some cases the quality may not be great the drama is still to the fore. So we can all agree that Flatty is a bollix here?

It is in fact the opposite
The business end of the Champions League is the highest standard in world football
The quality, by definition is always there
The drama may not be
But in recent years it usually has been
The winners of one got their arse handed to them 3-1 in the final.
The winners of the other got their arse handed to them 2-0 (albeit with the aid of a dodgy peno)âŚ
Liverpool are better by virtue of having scored more while being losers is it?
That would be one way of looking at it
Another way of looking at it would be that Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-0 in the 2019 final and thus proved they are a better team
Liverpool and Roma also both beat Barcelona and so are superior teams to Barcelona
Itâs weird that you would look at a game with a lot of goals and always think the standard is shit
You must be one of those Jonathan Wilson types who think the best games are 0-0
I suppose as a Manchester United supporter, the best policy for you these days is to try and look upon misery as a pleasure
Fucking hellâŚ
Wtf? Liverpool in 2019 were better standard than Liverpool in 2018. Way better. as proved by their league performance. Comparing teams from different years but wanting the match between them in the year of your choice to count as the defining factor of whether a game was high standard? Very poor reasoning.
Youâve also changed from arguing about the standard of the game to the standard of the team.
Here it is again Sid. Youâve changed to arguing about which team was better.
Two replies to the same post 
Itâs a bizarre change in argument that needed highlighting.
âLiverpool are a better team than Spurs so the semifinal in 2018 where they hammered Roma was better and more dramatic than Spurs v Ajax in 2019.â itâs such a bizarre argument, it makes no sense at all.
What is your argument that Ajax v Tottenham 2019 was better than Liverpool v Roma 2018
