So, it’s finally here, the final match of Arenal’s season all the way out in Baku.

Arsenal players will not be able to show any sign of support for Henrikh Mkhitaryan before the Europa League final thanks to UEFA’s rules.

Jose Mourinho has expressed his sympathy to Arsenal and Chelsea fans who are unable to attend the Europa League final in Baku while pointing out there is much more pressure on Arsenal to win the game than his old club.

UEFA’s own report stated that Baku was not fit to host the Champions League or Europa League final, claiming that local university dormitories and campsites would be needed to house supporters.

I’m often told that politics has no place in football, but those critics are oddly silent as Arsenal and Chelsea fans struggle to get to a match that a professional footballer won’t play in because he doesn’t feel safe.

Arsenal fans are being warned that the club faces punishment if any fans protest about the farce that is the Europa League final at the match in Baku.

Fanzones. That’s where UEFA want football fans. As far away as possible from the actual football where they might ruin the spectacle beamed around the world with their loutish, working-class behaviour.

UEFA claim they have given Arsenal assurances over Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s safety should the Armenian travel to Baku for the Europa League final.

UEFA have fined Rennes €44,000 for pitch invaders, setting off flares and blocking stairways during their game against Arsenal.

Arsenal have been handed a £13,000/€15,000 fine following the pitch invader and late kick-off of their home game against Qarabag in December.

When Arsenal were drawn against Rennes in the Europa League they were pulled out of the hat first so should have been playing the second game away from home, so why aren’t they?

Arsenal are reportedly facing a ‘staffing crisis’ due to the early nature of their Europa League last-32 kick-off time against BATE Borisov.

UEFA have opened a case against Arsenal after the kick-off of Thursday’s match against Qarabag in the Europa League was delayed by three minutes.

Samir Nasri has had his doping ban extended from six to 18 months the day his ban was supposed to end.

Alex Iwobi and Danny Welbeck were subjected to racist chants by the CSKA Moscow fans according to reliable reports.
