Just listened to BBC Radio 5 chat about us and Arsenal going through.  From what I keep reading and hearing really sounds like the media is behind Arsenal on this game. Kind of hope it helps them underestimate us and the performance clicks on the night for us. 

Call me what you like, but I'm not sure I'm gonna bother watching this one. Both teams have been awful this season, but Arsenal have got strikers who can score which will probably be the decider.

Am not expecting us to win, but I can't avoid not watching the match because regardless of the result, we still have had a good season from my own perspective. If we end up winning it on the other hand, i will be really excited and it should a sort of record, winning it every time we compete in it!

I’ll always watch it, even when I think we’ll lose (which I haven’t always been right about).

Thanks, good job I couldn't give a flying f**k what you think fella. This team we have at the moment is full of unlikable players with 0% passion for the club. Watching us get battered from pillar to post by a sub-standard Arsenal team is not what I would call entertainment. Seen us before in a European final against an English rival, and it didn't go well. If we win I'll watch it later.

Come in, suffer with the rest of us! You never know it might be the one game Higuain looks like a footballer or Kovacic actually scores a goal.

That's f**king outrageous.

What a treck, I reckon they know they would only be able to sell 9%

Apparently Mikhartarian can't even play, because Armenians are in a lot of danger if they go to Azerbaijan. Nice of UEFA to select a country like that for a big final. 

I'm not the Guardian's famous Mr. Optimism, but I'm not exactly an optimist. 

I fear a replay of the 2017 FA Cup Final

One team has reached its main goal

One team needs to...

Arsenal 2-0

That’s kinda my worry, they’re gonna be mad up for this because they need the CL spot. We may have to weather a storm early in the match. 

Sarri seems to me like a man who couldn’t motivate a homeless man to eat anything at an all you can eat buffet. Our performance can’t be sluggish.

The 2017 FA Cup final is a great example we were so sluggish and Arsenal came out flying.

Any chance you could keep your positive mental attitude to yourself and not turn qualifying for a final into another moan fest, what you’re saying doesn’t even make sense, same way you don’t give a “flying f**k” what people on here think I would confidently say no one gives that same flying f**k if you watch the game or not...cheer up mate

First why the f is it in Baku, I mean it’s debatable if that’s even Europe (it’s about 150 miles from Iran) it has terrible access, miles from any club that could have reached the final, then to allocate 9 percent capacity to the fans of the f**king teams in the final, they have to be taking the piss? Why the clubs aren’t kicking up f**k I’ve no clue, we should boycott and play it in Wembley.

is UEFA really going to put Chelsea & gooners next to each other? That could be a recipe for disaster

and they would probably take great delight in with holding the trophy and inviting valencia and the krauts to play for it in baku !!

Giroud to come on in the 88th min and score the winner in the 93rd...2-1 to the Chels' KTBFFH!!!

i think this one is really down to the players and whether they decide to turn up or not. we already know that sarri has motivational problems so they are really going to need to step it up and put in the performance of the season, maybe then they can nick it on pens because i think a one off game like this is going to be right up the goons and emery's street, and he certainly knows his way around a cup final

If I were to guess, I imagine the picture is just for visual purposes. However, they picked Baku for the final so it wouldn't surprise me if they made a singular "Club supporter section" and just sat all of Chelsea and Arsenal together intermixed.

At a guess, it's just a visual to highlight how much of the stadium with be filled by people who are fans of neither club.

People talking about Sarri's motivational skills, I'm not sure that should be an issue. We're taking about a European final here, a f**king European final. If the players aren't up for this they can piss off for all I care.

 

Would be painful to watch Cech losing in his final game.

Any ideas of where to get a couple of match tickets from? I assume for the mixed zone as Chelsea's would be impossible to find.

Just had a vision. Penalty shootout, Cech the hero for Arsenal.

Oh god such mixed feelings.
