Its easier said than done, but why Arsenal didnt boycott and refuse to play in Baku becuase of the safety factor of a player is confusing.
Cowards mainly.
Also, what would happen? UEFA wouldn't budge would they, so they would likely just get disqualified and miss out on CL.
I mean, sure, it would look immense from cred perspective. But given they aren't even in the CL it for sure does sound easier said than done.
Think about the ethical shirt sales though.
If they really wanted their own Super League this would have been the perfect opportunity to set it up. Just boycott all UEFA competitions because MORALS! and then voila, you've disguised a multi-billion dollar love-in as a moral stand.
The Arsenal-Chelsea led super league would probably be less successful than whatever that American Football abomination that just went tits up was.
Is the Europa today?
It is.
8 o'clock here must be about midnight there.
Cech starting for Arsenal. Is Leno part Armenian as well or something?
Last night at the office for him. Cech was always going to play against Chelsea.
They're one of the ones who has a set cup goalkeeper and he's been it. Add in it's his last ever game and he was always playing really.
Watch him cost them the game with an absolute shitter of an error.
Arsenal have had Chelsea bent over a few times recently. Suppose it helps Drogba isn’t kicking about anymore.
I thought Kante was out of this game?
Great location for a final this.
I used to like stadiums with the running track around the pitch. You can thank Serie A for that. But they really are all fucking terrible.
Looks like some pre-season tournament game.
Pitch is decent and I doubt any of the players care if their respective fanbases caught fire, let alone make it to a game.
It'll be the same as the super cup in Macedonia a few years back when united played Madrid. 90% of the crowd will be locals meaning a weird subdued atmosphere.
It has a Chinese pre-season game feel to it.
I was never around for that format, but bring back two-legged finals home and away.
I have youtube hooked up to my telly and the ball disappears when in motion, so long range passes are a perennially exciting lottery. All football should be watched like this.
Nah, just have 1 final in the biggest stadium going with atleast 90% of the tickets going to actual fans.
Kante can’t even be 50% fit. He hasn’t been anywhere.
Ngolo looks like he's on LSD, but probably still better than Barkley would have been.
Is that how much the competition has fallen that the final is actually getting free streamed on YouTube now?
Someone tell Chelsea the final started 32 mins ago. This has been a very odd game so far.
Chelsea players taking their 'Player-power' shit show to a final.
The absolute state of Azpilcueta this game so far.
This is so bad. A shame someone will have to win really.
Is anyone else watching on the BT App? If so, is the quality absolutely dire? I thought my Internet was bugging but it’s just as bad on 4G.
I think this has been alright. Arsenal need to make one of these count, though. Naitland-Miles looks composed and Chelsea keep leaving space for Arsenal to get at them down the wing. On the flipside, Chelsea look dangerous on the counter.
I like to think they do it as a reward for everyone going to the effort of finding streams of their coverage all season long.
I thought the Arsenal penalty would be given on VAR. Definite "umpire's call". If the forward stumbles rather than goes down the case is probably stronger, as there is contact. Going to have to learn to cheat differently in the new meta.
They do it in an effort to drive subs up. They only broadcast in the UK and Ireland so I doubt it's for some weird piggybacking business where they flog their feed overseas.
Typical Giroud goal. One-touch finish.
What's with the camera angle anyway? Virgin Sport were advertising an alternative wide angle all evening on a different channel. I thought I was watching it at first.
A fat looking eden hazard running riot
We'd better get an ironic rendition of 'Fuck Sarriball'.
Arsenal are all over the shop.
