Football fans, eh? Nowt if not predictable.

The Champions League group stage is coming to an end. For Chelsea, however, there's still work to do. Although already well-placed to get out of a group also containing AS Roma and Atletico Madrid, Antonio Conte's men entered match day five knowing a win over Azerbaijan's FK Qarabag would've made absolutely sure of this - regardless of what happened elsewhere. But never mind the actual football bit. What about their opposition and their silly-sounding name? Yep, Qarabag (in case you haven't already noticed the 1,324,988 times the joke's been made on Twitter), sounds a little bit like 'carrier bag', all the excuse needed for those aware of the game to bring out the 5p jokes again... https://twitter.com/deeneyman19/status/933375578908000256 https://twitter.com/blue_flag1/status/933378933223034880 https://twitter.com/RonnieR17491613/status/933338380653551616 https://twitter.com/theraygun/status/933078700995772418 https://twitter.com/Paul_Luke/status/933365155358011392 This one wasn't too bad, we suppose... https://twitter.com/CharlieMem/status/933255346780381185 Like all good plastic carrier bags, perhaps it's a good thing these jokes are being recycled. Perhaps not.
