Well as you can see the 6th best team in the UK won the CL so to say that 4th in one of the toughest leagues in the world is not worthy is not true...
Bro bottom line is its Money, C.L, play-off's, and so in.
It's not right but it's here to stay, and maybe the plus is that it gives more fans a buzz for right up to the end of the season, I.E Spurs.
It shouldn't be called the Champions League, as it is not a league of champions.
If Parma Ham can't be called Parma Ham unless it's from Parma, I fail to see how UEFA can get away with such such a clearly misleading moniker.
What do you suggest it should be called Jalisco?
Might not have that attitude this season if that were the case Jalisco
I quite like 'the Europa League', but that's been taken.
European Elite League (EEL)?
Cream of the Euro Crop Cup?
another west ham fan who thinks the the championship is the 'european cup' and the prem is the 'champions league'
John Terry won the Chelsea Flower Show this week.
and was there in his kit to pick up the ribbon
He's going to look stupid wearing his Chelsea kit on the red carpet at the Oscars.
I dont rate the name 'Champions League'...
Didn't it used to be straight knockout all the way through?
Football has evolved. The top few leagues have all the best players. Do you really want Man City playing the likes of the Serbian champions in the quarter finals?
What they need to change is the Europa League. Don't allow champions league dropouts in, put some decent prize money aside for it and offer the winners a champions league spot. It's such a devalued competition at the moment.
I dont really understand the problem people have about CL drop outs going into the europa. doesnt this just help to maximise the quality of the competition ?
Well
1) CL dropouts going into the EL is seriously unfair on those who have had to play in that tournament since July.
2) CL dropouts rarely take it seriously- ie Man Utd
3) It also implies that finishing 3rd in a CL group can be rewarded
