Football: History lesson
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.When Arsenal play PAOK Salonika in the Uefa Cup next Tuesday it will be only the second time in 13 seasons of European competition that the Gunners have entertained a Greek team at Highbury. In 1981 Arsenal beat Panathinaikos 1-0 to complete a 3-0 aggregate victory in the Uefa Cup first round.
In the second round Arsenal lost to Winterslag, prompting this headline in one British broadsheet: "Now is the Winterslag of Arsenal's discontent". The Belgian team went on to lose 5-0 on aggregate to Dundee United.
England's other Uefa Cup teams - Ipswich, West Bromwich Albion and Southampton - all failed to reach the third round, while Dundee United and Aberdeen reached the quarter-finals and third round respectively.
