Kante expected to be back fit for the final.

With RLC out I wont be surprised if we rush Kante back and he injures himself again.

BREAKING: @Arsenal are in talks with Henrikh Mkhitaryan about whether he should be left out of the Europa League final trip over security fears, Sky Sports News understands.

thats how we ruined Essien, rushed him back too soon after that knee injury, altough Kante has a different injury.

We lost so many trophies to Arsenal lately. FA CUP final, CS, CC semi final... Don't let them take another one from us...

I know as a fan we should never give up hope. I mean I still hoped and cheered and prayed when we were 2-0 down to Barca at camp nou with a man down.

But right now, just can't seem to hope/have expectations. 

altough we had luck on our side at times, back then we had big characters in the team that could step up and bail us out, and they did in that 2012 Champions League run. I look at our current lot and i think to my self that after Terry's sending off they would have probably been humiliated afterwards.

this one will hurt the most if we lose for sure, lose this and Arse will be in Champions League next season at our cost in a major european cup final, let that sink in. We will never hear the end of it

What a bloody mess this is mate simply cannot understand why big matches like this one and the WC that is going to come are played in countries with no footie culture, bloody hell Azerbaidjan do they even play football there? And it's not even in Europe!!!!!!

I'm in Romania atm and even for me it's so damn expensive to go there by plane, 700 pounds and stops in Wien and Moscow, Jeeeeeesus....... My four mates and I it's easier to go there by car in the end, at least it is only three countries we have to cross and 6-7 hours of non stop driving each.

Azerbaijan FA offer 6,000 extra Europa League final tickets to Chelsea and Arsenal fans… and promise more charter flights

 UEFA have been left red-faced by their chaotic handling of this month’s Europa League final after the Azerbaijan FA suddenly put another 6,000 tickets up for sale.

 Europe’s governing body insisted that Arsenaland Chelsea have only been given 17 per cent of tickets for the 68,000-capacity Baku Olympic Stadium because the capital’s airport cannot handle any more people.

 But that claim has been denied by Elkhan Mammadov, the general secretary of the Azerbaijan FA, who has opened the door to dozens of extra charter flights to get fans to the May 29 final.

 “We are calling on both teams to organise extra charter flights on the day of the match and I can guarantee that our airport is well equipped to handle 10,000 passengers per hour.

Mammadov also revealed that the Azerbaijan FA have also held back an additional 6,000 tickets which are now available for sale to fans who send an email request to [email protected].

Uefa yesterday issued an apology for the chaos and admitted that having two teams travelling 2,500 miles from the same city has created extra complications.
But they defended their choice of Baku and said: “Uefa would consider it utterly unfair to exclude certain venues just based on their decentralised geographical position.”
They also said: “Our experts are keenly working to help find cheaper solutions for travelling fans and would welcome a joint effort from the clubs in this respect.”

Literally just heard on Sky Sports Reuben likely to be out for up to a year.

What a fucking downer 

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Isn't the problem the cost of the flights as well. Someone said their season ticket cost less then this would. Its crazy.
