Re: Season 2017/2018
After Van Gaal and De Boer perhaps going Dutch is not the best option.

But we were told by all the great wise football sages that they were tactical masters.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Video appeared earlier showing roughly 20,000 Koln fans on the streets of London despite a ticket allocation of 2900 and there's currently an ongoing issue at the Emirates as it's clear more than 2900 are inside the stadium and are spread out all over the place, thus crowd segregation is an absolute mess, Riot police are doing the best they can.
Game was delayed till 21:05pm but could seriously be abandoned if this can't be resolved, their fans are going on absolutely ridiculous.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Sounds like a major cock at The Emirates, Cologne fans all over the ground, not just in the away block.
Abandon the game and award the points to Arsenal.

Surely the police would have some prior intelligence gathering that that 20,000 German fans were coming over?.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Thought I heard someone in the BT studio say it was the first time Cologne have been in European competition for forty years, find that surprising but let's hope it's another forty if this is how they behave.
Just checked, it's 25 years since they played in Europe.

Re: Season 2017/2018
I have a season ticket and headed home because of the delay, looks like I made the right decision given what it's like instead the stadium. UEFA need to take action.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Arsenal have questions to answer too. The club staff that is, not that actual team. A flare in the away section, who'd have thought they'd bring flares? cracking job at the turnstiles.
Empty seats all over for a game I presume was sold out too. I hope they find at least a few members that sold their tickets to Koln fans.

Yes that too. I think they knew, hence the delay in opening the stadium, but decided going ahead was the least worse option rather than dispersing the fans.

Amazing when you consider what is spent on players in that that cannot do a proper search and security job on supporters coming into the stadium.

Re: Season 2017/2018
I absolutely hope this turns into a 5-1 turnaround and they go home crying.

It's mostly individual lazy employees, those higher up can't be blamed. I'll get stopped for a can of coke at Newcastle and my mate behind me will just cosy on through with his. Although I work in the industry I was always told it was to stop you throwing it at players and safety reasons and never really found out why because you can purchase bottles inside which weigh the same if not more...

They take the cap off bottles inside stadiums to make it harder to throw

TIL, it's been ages since I purchased one in the ground to realise this. Although I've spent a lot of time in hospitality areas for work and you they just have it buffet layout up there and you just grab any drinks from the fridge as it's unlikely Peter Beardsley is going to be throwing a bottle.
