Exactly, rivalries aside, it's sad knowing there'll be kids in the crowd tonight who'll have been there first-hand seeing the Köln fans kicking off. Still nice to see the team on the pitch struggling though

Half the club pretty clearly don't want to be there. It's poisoned the other half and destroyed any hope of team cohesion. Alexis looks like he is just out there having a jog without a care in the world. Watching them this whole season is going to be fantastic. It has potential to be one of the biggest meltdown seasons in football history.

In it to win it.. play with a weakened team. Giorud hungry ...
From that angle, Robbie looks like something from the Hills have eyes

He's in for a pleasant shock.
First of all, spurs have only been laughing at their entry into the Europa because they put us down about it for years, let alone got all snobby about the competition. So other fans are laughing because they themselves have to endure it.
Secondly, it's not as simple as putting out a mixed team. It's the fact that you lose days preparation for the PL game due to it being a Thursday, the travel and the extra round you get.
He'll soon see.

Just flicked over to watch the last half hour. Sounds like the Emirates crowd are in good voice tonight
Yes - many of the residents of Holloway rd have been surprised to learn that there is apparently a football stadium nearby tonight.

Or if you are Spurs you get to play in Seville on a Thursday and then away to Chelsea on the Saturday lunchtime , a mere 40 hours or so later.

Such a shame that Sanchez is such a solid pro as he absolutely carries that lot even when he's not trying.

What kicking off? It looked like there were supporters who were allowed to pay for a ticket who enjoyed themselves in the Emirates for once. Apologies if I missed the hooliganism...

I was wondering wtf was going on today. I was around Euston/Kings Cross early afternoon to see tonnes of FC Koln fans around. Later on I walked past Oxford street to see what was seemingly half the population of Nordrhein-Westfalen marching through. 30 thousand fucking people here for the first match in the Europa League group phase. Jesus.
A friend who was in the stadium said it was really tense with thousands more than the official allocation getting in, and getting rowdy in the home support sections, including the family section. Then the away crowd tried to congregate at the allocated away section despite the inconvenience of Arsenal fans being in the way.
And it was chaos outside the stadium too. The only reason tje game went ahead is because it would have been more dangerous to call it off and face the potential backlash from that.
It's not hooliganism but it's not ideal, either.

As Im sure you know, during the civil wars in Yugoslavia, the govt recruited Red Star supporters as paramilitaries to terrorize the rebellious factions. You'd have to be a fool to go there and try and provoke them.
