    Wel one was a walking parody of a comedy french detective, the other a parody of a comedy spanish waiter. At least, during a match, the spaniard pulls the most grotesque faces for our amusement

    You wanted that fine gentleman sacked for the sake of your amusement? You're no better than Farage.

    No. I never wanted him sacked. I wanted him to leave and be happy - like when you release an animal into the wild. I wanted to see him gambol in the fields.

    I found his way with the English language amusing at first, I must admit. However, I did actually expect it to get better - which it has not.
    I also rather expected someone to take him aside and have a word with him about his teeth and hair.

    Presumably, we did all happily agree to it two years ago when the venue arrangements were made? I guess, either we never thought we'd make the final or we never thought we'd end up signing young Henrikh

    I rather like Farage, but take issue with some of his tailoring. In particular, I find his taste for yellow or mustard corduroy trouserings extremely upsetting. He dresses like the sort of chap who'd pocket the silverware at a country house weekend.

    Maybe we didn't know where Baku was?

    Right. And we just didn't want to say anything, hurt anyone's feelings.

    This strikes me as the most likely explanation. We just assumed it was somewhere vaguely civilised, never imagining that UEFA would hold a European final in some tinpot dictatorship for which it's hard to obtain visas and which discriminates against Armenians (whatever tthey are). And, by the time we looked it up (ie at about half time in the second leg of the semi) it was too late.
