Just caught the highlights with Nigel Spackman explaining how "it's a tough place to go", even though Atalanta aren't even playing at their own ground. Surprising result though, they've been fairly poor so far this season. Everton must be shite. Why aren't Atalanta playing at their home ground? I haven't been paying much attention but saw that they are playing at Sassuolo's stadium for the Europa League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their current ground is a bit run down, but they bought it over the summer and are planning on redeveloping it, which is a shame, as it's cracking as it is.

senorsoupe Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Looks as though Arsenal are playing a pretty weak lineup tonight vs. Cologne. Hope they get beat Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Monreal, Holding, Walcott, Elneny, Maitland-Niles, Iwobi, Sanchez, Giroud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be pissed off if I were a fan and the cost of renting would be extortionate plus loss of revenue. Astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I like the work that Sandro does off the ball, but he's like a 5 year-old on 5g of prop when on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 There's meant to be thousands of them dotted around the Arsenal sections as the tickets were on open sale and they apparently bought loads of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy. Similar thing happened when Napoli came to Anfield in 2010. Italians getting turned away at the turnstiles and then kicking off. Those in the home section all congregated together and the stewards and police formed a line to segregate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same happened (albeit on a much smaller scale) when Celtic won the league at Firhill a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
