allowing the team that finishes 3rd in their Champions League group to compete in another competition.
"It's unfair on the teams that began their season already in UEFA Cup/Europa League, that teams that messed up in the Champions League, enter their competition after the group phase."
I've heard these 2 statements quite a few times over the past few years. Where do you stand on these?
Do you think UEFA should change it back to the old format? Once you're out you're out?!
I've gotta say, once we were in it, I REALLY wanted to feckin win it. Especially as I wanted my club to complete the set.
But I can also see why people feel this way. Although there's also an argument that could say, when else would the players get the opportunity to play these teams?
"It devalues the UEFA Cup/Europa League"

Taking out Barcelona and replacing them with the polish champions would degrade the competition so much.#

Not in Poland it would not, it would make them national heroes. That is one of the reasons I have long switched off watching what has become a clique of the same old same. Boring competition now. Needs freshing up with new faces.

Chelsea - first British team to EVER qualify for the European Cup.
And never even entered. You don`t get points for that you clown. My statement of Spurs still competing in the top competition 30 or 40 years before Chelsea is the absolute truth, and nothing but the truth. FACT.

You aint still banging the drum about Chelsea`s history and pedigree. Chelsea aint got no pedigree, and feck all worthwhile history for the first 70 or 80 years of their founding, FFS a club funded by a Russian crook, don`t have anything going for them bar the dodgy cash that keeps them afloat. Chelsea FC, a modern crook`s plaything.

The only plaything you got is between your legs, not a big plaything agreed.

2003 was not the first time we competed in the Champions League.

Flash - it's ok Sandy is a LIAR, I've proved it many times over. The whole of JA606 know he's a LIAR and nothing he says is of any relevance.
We can tell when he's LYING - his keyboard pads are moving!
