    I see Arsenal have returned 2,300 of their 6,000 ticket allocation for the Europa League final.

    What a tin top club they are. Can't sell anymore the 3,700 for the Europa League final.

    Can’t say I blame them. UEFA is to blame for this decision

    Are you sarcastically pointing out the massive pisstake that UEFA have turned this final into? I respect their fans for not buying the tickets, I’d go as far as to say that Arsenal should boycott the final.

    I wonder if they might try to put it on the "Big Screens" at The Emirates, that is if they can obtain the rights to do so?

    I don't know what they're complaining about. They can't sell 4,000 let alone 6,000. UEFA should sell the returned tickets to Chelsea fans.

    The situation is a complete joke but fortunately for the fans involved they’ve been lucky enough to watch their teams play dozens of big European games and final etc.

    Imagine if it had been Watford or Leicester that made this final, it could actually have been Burnley this season! A once in a lifetime game that would be almost impossible to get to. Allocated 20% of a stadium in a nasty little, human rights abusing country in the arse-end of Europe which takes a week of bus journeys and donkey rides to reach.

    Chelsea fans wouldn’t want them either, you do know about the circumstances surrounding the game, yes?

    It's no different to playing a match at Kenilworth Road. Don't understand what the fuss is all about.

    I’m not sure the locals can afford the ticket prices UEFA are charging.

    Chelsea have also handed back 4000. I don't think the clubs being "tinpot" has anything to do with it...

    Good for the fans and/or clubs for taking a stand. It's a ridiculous situation.

    Fair play to Rob Green, who lifted the Europa League trophy tonight. Aged 39, he’s conceded no goals in Europe this season.

    Whilst I mainly watched the Giro highlights, it seem as though young *zil was below par.

    Doesn’t he earn more than all the forum put together?

    Is there any other Premier League club that would have indulged *zil for as long as Arsenal have?

    Long way to see your team lose 4-1 !

    But those Chelsea fans who went did get to see Hazard score 2 goals in his final game .

    Man Utd have indulged Sanchez similarly. The fact is neither club can sell either player because of their astronomical wages so they need to put on a brave face and pretend the contracts were not huge incompetence!

    Drummer in the band I play in supports Arse. Guitarist supports Chelski. Rehearsal tonight. First since cup Final. We won't talk football.
