    If Arsenal fans are going to ironically cheer anything, it ought to be when Chesney catches the ball.

    Watching these CL matches makes it clear how much baps add to the enjoyment of fantasy football. All the shots on/off target, who is playing particularly well, etc just don't matter for these matches in fantasy terms. Much more fun to be thinking about who will get the baps.
