Villa Park used to be a good venue for semi finals of the fa cup and I don’t suppose capacity is an issue.

Have it at the Etihad

Can’t imagine Arsenal, Spurs or Rags offering their places without wanting a huge fee. Be nice to give it to Villa, a club with proper history! Could have an extra 20,000 fans at £150 a head to pay compensation to the Turks. Everyone wins.

Liverpool is a hive of testing and experiments during the pandemic, if they suggest Anfield they can just fuck off !

Porto Lisbon Portugal now being suggested as no way UEFA will be seen to back down to UK government. Possible ?

[blues-clues]

It’s not backing down is it? I know we are biased but surely holding it in the UK just makes sense.

Let’s not forget a Chelsea v Arsenal Europa League final in 2019 was played in Baku. A city nearly as close to Beijing as London.

UEFA are morons interested only in lining their own pockets with kick backs and the like. There will have been a lot of money that’s changed hands in order for Istanbul to be given the gig and you can’t envisage the chief dogs wanting to return any of it any time soon

Pretty silly discussion so far . Either it is played in "Green" England , avoiding a carbon footprint . oh and Covid. Or it's played in Istanbul.

Anywhere else , at the moment has logistics and Covid problems.
