    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.

    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.

    And be banned from future competition for I think it's 3 years. Unless Chelsea would as well (why would they?) it was never happening.

    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.

    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.

    Arsenal have had Chelsea bent over a few times recently. Suppose it helps Drogba isn’t kicking about anymore.

    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.

    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.

    I watched on YouTube last year and the footage would regularly freeze whilst the audio continued, then the footage would 'fast-forward' to catch up. I switched to a normal stream in the end.

    Ngolo looks like he's on LSD, but probably still better than Barkley would have been.

    Someone tell Chelsea the final started 32 mins ago. This has been a very odd game so far.

    They're doing the same for the other final as well.

    This is a dreadful game, being contested by two fairly average teams, in a stadium with absolutely no atmosphere.

    Bring on the brave new world.

    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.

    They do it with both finals. I think it was part of the price of being allowed to monopolise European football.

    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 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.

    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.
