    Thanks @crazy150, and a BIG CONGRATS on your first child! Those are exciting, sleep-deprived times in your house.

    Phoning it in was absolutely fine! I hope you keep your amazing streak running, and that your newborn brings us luck.

    If anyone has any other magical leads about live TV pray tell*. Otherwise we'll just have to stream it. Or, given the relative unimportance of this fixture, perhaps many will skip it live. :(

    But the KO time 12:55pm is earlier than I originally recorded so I should be able to easily catch it, before heading off to Red Bull Arena.

    p.s. One backstory to this match is that it's in Ukraine, and because of the just-declared marital law there, UEFA decided to move it to the Olympic Stadium in Kiev. Which works out much better for our boys... way less local travel time.

    *Edit: @ArsenalMetro posted in last matchday thread that it may be on Galavision channel. (We were on that once or twice before IIRC) IFF they don't go with a match that has more on the line... there are MANY to choose from... or the RB derby might be pretty compelling. HOWEVER these guys list our match as being on! https://www.livesoccertv.com/channels/galavision/

    And still manages to get the thread started?!? What a warrior!! Mad props (do people still say that?) and congratulations to you and your family.

    Sounds like this game may not even happen. Wouldn't that be interesting if YOU managed to start the tread but UEFA can't pull off the match??

    From what I've seen today, UEFA really wants to see this match happen (in Kiev), and that's understandable. Cancelled long-distance fixtures like this can create major logistical problems. Vorskla didn't like having to move houses, but supposedly they traveled to Kiev.

    Let's cross fingers that it comes off, and safely!

    Congrats from both myself and Alice here in Port Townsend as well, good luck trying to get a good night's sleep, it may be time for "Daddy Duty" for you sometime!!! ;)

    I won't be able to view the match myself (as it is hidden behind a paywall on B/R LIVE) and DISH dropped Galavision as it (and also Telefutura) is also owned by Univision in their ongoing carriage dispute between the two of them, which has been going on FOR MONTHS now. Oh I wish for the good-old days of the matches (both UEL and UCL) being on FS1/FS2 instead of this pay-stream shit.

    I hope The Gunners can keep up our winning ways, because if not, I am ready to post the Official thread for THE North London Derby for this Sunday, in fact, I'll be preparing the draft I need tonight so I can copy/paste and upload at moment's notice tomorrow if we get beaten (in which I hope not), after all crazy150 has a damn good thing going and I hope he can keep it up, in which I'm sure Unai's Red Army will be more than willing to oblige by beating Vorskla tomorrow morning!!! COYF'n'G!!!

    Congrats on the first kid, Crazy. it's a game changer. Glad everyone is healthy and OK.

    Have the afternoon off so I may even watch... what's the deal with B/R live? Is it a pay-per-game kind of thing?

    Yes, supposedly. Also if you TV gets galavision there's a good chance we're on that

    Interesting. The last matchday is coincidentally the same day as my office Christmas party. Match at 2 PM, Office Party at 3 PM. I need to mull over trekking north to The Globe and then back to the Loop for the party or just settling in at a bar in the Loop if it is on Galavision.

    Shattering my theory about Ozil and rotation. Which went hand in hand with how I thought Emery placed so much emphasis on UEL that he wouldn't field a Full B-team, even if we'd already qualified. Wrongo!

    p.s. I think this is 150% the right way to go. I just didn't expect him to.

    Watching a tiny weird aspect ratio on my phone, but since I only plan to keep 1/2 of an eye on this match, that should be fine.

    Just win one for the Gipper OK? Or really for Crazy's kid

    Ref seems to be on our side tonight. Including that very soft PK that Ramsey "earned". 2-0

    Willock 3-0. This is an easy a half of football as we've had this year.

    Not on DISH, blocked. Due to a carriage dispute. Sling customers are blocked also.

    Vorskla doesn't even look like they're trying.

    The Kolach dude for them is... quite bad.

    Loved Willock's cool finish.
