AC 3-0

yep seen enough here

will have a look at Benfica-Toulouse

 

[The Colonel]

I think we can eliminate Rennes and Young Boys from the travel plan spreadsheets. 16 possibilities is now 14.

 

[Dirty Dave]

Qarabag now 2-1 up!

Edit: make that 4-1

 

[The Colonel]

So annoying that Braga are losing at home to Qarabag. I want to watch football by a cliff face, not in Azerbaijan.

Braga were 2/9 before kick off to win the tie so somethings gone wrong there

It seems Qarabag play at different stadiums for league and europa cup - Their last home game on 14th December 2023 Vs Hacken was at Tofiq stadium which (google tells me..) holds 31,000 - Do they also play at the National stadium (Circa 68k) depending upon competition and opposition ?

 

[Official Old Man]

Plenty of flight options to Baku. Most get in at 3.25 am.

I did wonder about. I'd be more confident about getting a ticket for that one. The second leg against Braga is at the Tofiq.

With a flight change as well, making it a 10 hour trip at over £220!

"From Earth" - is that for the benefit of their X followers on other planets in the Milky Way?
