Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Colchester United

They probably will.

 

actually probably best not to laugh as if it suits UEFA they would

 

No, because they are not really in Europe. But Baku is by any measure.

 

Really? What about Almaty or Nur-Sultan, as it's now known?

 

Same with them. I would restrict the finals to being played within the geographical area of Europe, notwithstanding that some UEFA countries extend into Asia. Otherwise France could build a stadium in St Martin or New Caledonia and apply to hold the finals there. Or Spain could apply for Ceuta.
But I don't see how anyone can justify discrimination against a stadium in Europe that is in a UEFA affiliate.

 

Because they don't have the infrastructure to deal with a final well, they're hard and expensive to get to and they're run by dubious people.
Baku wasn't selected for footballing reasons or to spread the games around, just as Qatar wasn't.

 

Well obviously no match or tournament should be held anywhere for corrupt purposes but good luck with enforcing that.

 

Spurs manager says "blame Tottenham!"

West Ham manager says "blame me!)

Is there a moral here somewhere?

 

…...and....Barcelona fined for trying to poach an Atletico Madrid star player.....fined....umpteen million?No.Not even 300 quid. That'll put a stop to that!!!!!?
