Europa League 2018/19 Final Chelsea v Arsenal

[rossdapep]

I would add Betis and Leverkusen to that as well. On their day they can beat Chels, Napoli or Arsenal as well. Have no idea about Benfica this year as I haven't seen any LigaNOS games.

Benfica have improved dramatically since they sacked Rui Vitoria and gave the job to the assistant Lage. They'll be a tricky team.

Even a team from a tractor manufacturing factory can beat Arsenal lmao

Come on BATE . Get an away goal.

Glad Arsenal are winning. Would rather them go through and have the extra matches plus I don't think they'll win it anyway.

They climaxed last week

Would be ideal for Arsenal and Chelsea to put all their eggs in the Ropey League basket allowing us to cruise into the top 4. It’s such a slog of a competition. I haven’t checked but other than when Chelsea won it and then got into the champions league that way has any English team got themselves into the top 4 when getting further than the quarter final in this competition?

Good Lord watching the Europa League I just thank the Lord we're not playing in this comp...its incredible that we've swapped placed with Arsenal, now we know who their fans felt when we used to play in Europa - now I just watch for the banter or any potential fuck ups not because I'm interested.

Neither team will catch us in the league regardless but yeah I think you're gonna see both of them put their eggs in the Europa basket going towards the end of the season especially Arsenal.

60k attendance tonight ?

I didn't know BATE had that many fans?

Koscielny off injured. They've scored an OG and 2 headers from corners. Still looked dodgy at the back and hardly ripped them apart despite full strength team. Love seeing these ****s in this competition, give them another decade of it at least please.

Celtic 1-0 down and 3-0 agg means the end of their Euro travels.

 

[gushayes11]

Sarri so stubborn. Kante still not holding despite resting Jorginho.

 

[inclineyid]

Looking absolutely devoid of confidence tonight Malmo well on top

No Hazard No Party

I dont want to bring up the topic of cup v top four debate BUT if anyone else wonders why Poch prioritises top four - it is on nights like that that will answer that question

Thursdays is like the morgue day of football

CL gives me a boner

 

[nailsy]

Malmö are looking alright. Chelsea look nervous at the back.

LOL..
.
The reason I was asking was because they only played them 14 months ago (6-0) in Dec 2017 and there was a big outcry as the attendance was posted at just under 55,000

Eventually it was found to be about 30k
