UEFA Europa League 2018/19

Alternatively, we can just get RLC to score twice in the opening 9 minutes.

Make that a hat-trick!

I really like Art of Football's stuff, but this picture of Loftus-Cheek doing a massive blue ejaculate is obscene. 

 

[stokeriño]

Like, if it weren't for the grinning face down by his groin I could kind of write it off as a random blue smudge but...yeah...

[Adam]

Hey, if he's passionate about Chelsea enough to bleed blue...

[Colly]

If he's bleeding from there he needs to see a doctor.

Hazard starts away to BATE. I guess Sarri figured that giving him another 60 minutes of match time was worth the hassle of dragging him all the way to Belarus and back.

I don't know who it was who chose to use the pale grey third kit in the stadium full of fog, but they need firing.

And when you're done with that, fire the guy who designed the third kit in the first place.

GIROUD SCORED A GOAL!!

I think Danny Welbeck may have broken his leg.

[Kaney]

Just about to post that, looked bad. He's been so unlucky with injuries.

[FLiam]

Might be the last time we see him in an Arsenal shirt too.

Picture of the incident. I can’t really work out what he’s done, but it doesn’t look great as I’m fairly certain your foot isn’t supposed to bend that way.

Spoiler

FYI don't look at that picture if you are squeamish about things like that.

Vorskla Poltava/Arsenal game moved to Kiev due to security concerns.

Just the 5 hour car journey for Poltava fans to see their team play then. Shorter than most Manchester United fans mind. 

[Kaney]

Arsenal have taken a lead into half time for the first time this season, 3-0 up against what looks a really poor Vorskla side. Can't blame them being unmotivated tbh.

Celtic also 1-0 up going on 6-0, if they could find their bloody shooting boots.

Emile Smith-Rowe has now scored three times the amount of goals as Alexis Sanchez this season. 

But seriously, the kid is quite talented.

Step back in the front door roughly 30 seconds before Chelsea kick off. Excellent timing if I do say so myself.

Hope that CHO does something good tonight!

Lol, red card already.

[stokeriño]

And CHO does get his first senior Chelsea goal!

Giroud scored two as well, of course.

[MDK]

Lazio, baby, what is you doin'?

[stokeriño]

TIL, via the 2nd-string squad we've put up in our last group match, that we have a reserve/youth goalkeeper with the surname of 'Cumming'. Jamie Cumming, to be precise.

Of course, now Google has record of me searching for 'chelsea goalkeeper cumming'. Cheers for that.
