Armenia is Europe and the UN considers Kazakhstan as partly in Eastern Europe, like Turkey. It’s a long way, I agree, but there’s no reason to exclude these countries.

Kazakhstan should be in asia. I don't think a sliver of the population technically maybe being in Europe is enough. 

Armenia sure although I do think geographically they are also in Asia.

Well NOAH is a home game so shouldn't be an issue and half of Kazakhstan is in Europe. We'd have to ban Turkish teams and Russian teams (prior to the war) from European competitions too.

We shouldn't be flying 11 hours because we shouldn't be in this situation, qualify for CL and this wouldn't an issue.

Half of Kazakhstan isn't in Europe. 15% is. 

And we aren't playing in that 15%. We are playing on the eastern end of Kazakhstan. Where most people live. 

And I thought the same when United played them in the Europa league. And if I had paid attention when they played in the champs league.

Only 3% of Turkey's land mass is in Europe.

Someone is going to be delighted to know that we’re going to play against Astana in Almaty, which is further east than Astana  :biggrin:

Meh. If the game were to be transferred to Brentford for some inexplicable reason that's a lot further east going the long way round.

 
Just win the opening 4 games, no great distance to go there, then send our youth team and management there.

Can't believe uefa have allowed the game to be played that far away, it's approx 250 miles from the Chinese border, closer to Shanghai than London.

Yeah , but on the other hand , don't they have to travel a long way when they play their away games in Europe? 

I didn't realise it was that far away though.

As ridiculous as when we played Arsenal in Baku in the Europa final. . And gave them a right old tonking! Seems like another world looking back now.

I worked with a Brighton supporter at the time of Brexit.

He thought that if we left Europe it meant that our football clubs wouldn't be allowed to play in the European competitions!

After long negotiations well into the night, Britain agreed not to take the easy way out of footballing competitions and to just lose on penalties.

If anything shows just how inept UEFA is, two London clubs flying to Baku was it.
