Europa League Final

[Nardendee]

I am not surprised Arsenal and Chelsea will contest the final although Chelsea did need penalties.
What has surprised me is the venue of BAKU in Azerbaijan .

Logistical nightmare but surely it should be played at a more suitable venue?

No consideration for the fans. I know the venues are selected well in advance but surely there should be contingency plans in place instead of dragging the teams and particularly the supporters 2,500 miles from London to a place where there are no direct flights.

They would have to make financial restitution to Azerbaijan, is it worth the money since it's only the Europa League?

I've just watched a news report saying how far away the ground in which the final will be played.

Both teams will be supplied with only 6000 tickets

EUFA has been reported as saying that they didn't expect supporters to travel that far. Brilliant that these people are running the beautiful game.

No one mentioned the ticket situation until last night. Had to laugh at Talksport though. They've just had an in-depth discussion on the subject, then the first advert was one of the station's sponsors offering final tickets in a competition.😀

The only thing English about these four teams is their fans and there iare even quite a few of those who are foreign.
Owners, Managers and Players from abroad.
Spurs might be English owned but that's about it.

I would be surprised if the four teams field eleven English players between them.

So for some pundits and fans to say England has got the best league in the world at the moment is not really accurate.

I totally agree even though on paper it's a good advert for the premiership both finals when it comes down to the nitty gritty it shows why England do so rubbish in the international stage (when San marino have been knocked out)England play a top 5 team and 9 times out of 10 we lose.
