It would be good, flights are about Â£500 minimum though. Plus you need to get a visa when travelling to Russia I believe, so add another Â£100 for that.

Only about Â£700-800 in total then...for a qualifier.

Might be better to be at home first, especially has Nasri and van Persie banned for 1st leg, add the cesc situation to the pot and Europa league and Thursday nights here we come

Personally I quite like the idea of Thursday night footie. At least it'd get me out of the weekly trip to Sainsburys!

Good point mate.

If Fabregas played in the qualifiers, would he be ruled out of the group stages for Barcelona?

Yep!

Dont think so - I believe somebody posted here last week that he can still sign for another club in the champs lge as long as that team aint in the same group as the team he has just left

Well I always thought that Champs Lge is Champs Lge and once you've played in it for one team then you're buggered, even if it's a quailfier but as always I may be wrong!

Meanwhile, Fabregas knows that if he turns out for the Gunners in the play-off and then moves to Barca, he will be cup tied for all of their European campaign

As a rule, a player may not play in a UEFA club competition (i.e. UEFA
Champions League and UEFA Europa League, but not UEFA Super Cup) for
more than one club in the course of the same season. Exceptionally,
however, a player who has been fielded in the first, second or third qualifying
round of the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League is entitled to
play in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League for another
club as from the group stage, provided that his former club did not qualify for
the group stage of either the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europa
League;

So I guess that if Fabregas is still here, his head won't be right for the qualifying game?
