Nothing new for Arsenal, Getting Dennis Bergkamp to away games in Eastern Europe was always a problem. Agreed about brown envelopes still working well in world football.
What a farce. Hilarious that the Baku authorities are suggesting this as the alternative route to the match
Local authorities in Baku have told European football's governing body Uefa they have organised "an alternative option for supporters of both clubs to reach Baku," Chelsea explained.
That would mean flying to Tbilisi in neighbouring Georgia then using ground transportation to Baku. That is a distance of some 580km and often made by a 12-hour overnight train service.
I’m pretty certain I’m only watching this because I know that football will be over soon and I need to take what I can get. I’m trying to think if I’ve ever actually cared who wins the UEFA/Europa cup and, apart from when Rangers were in the 2008 final, I think the answer is “no”.
Will probably turn it off half way through and watch the highlights from Sunday for the 200th time.

I’m going for Giroud to score the deciding goal, 2-1 or 3-2.
