Tottenham in Dortmund

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

i was at the 0-1 game and remember looking down upon the crush from inside their concourse.

No idea why fans try and turn up so late to European aways though. Get there early.

It's the UEFA Cup ffs! It'd ridiculous that it's become a tin pot trophy that tip pot clubs like the scum chuck away :roll: it used to be an awesome competition. As did the FA Cup. UEFA and the FA should be ashamed with the way they've handled these great, historic competitions :(
The UEFA Cup was cut off at the knees as soon as the CWC (great competition 8) ) was scrapped and the ‘Champions’ League became the bloated shit-fest it is today.

Boring old fart I am but I really liked the three old European cups; all had great value & prestige in their own rights, now we are left with one cash cow for the top-tier teams and another that every English side seems to think is below them.
Spot on. Both the CL and EL are bloated to fuck now. Way too many games need to be played. Plus, with all the money in the PL, teams would rather prioritise that. Qualifying for the EL is seen as a poisoned chalice for a good reason. Long haul flights to the likes of Ukraine/Russia tend to have an effect on league form. Such a shame they expanded it all into a mess.
