I haven't read up on the new format, but aye, what the fuck is that. That's not a competition, it's the back of a band's Coldplay/Taylor Swift double headline tour t-shirt.

The fact that the fixtures are still seeded - so the big boys get more of the easier/favourable draws renders this format completely fucking pointless.

 

May as well knock the knockout stages on the head and just have it so you play the same amount of games as you would in the old format (13 I think), the match draw is completely random and whoever has the most points after that wins the trophy. This would be completely shit but at least makes a bit of sense. Even up the number of games to 15 or something.

 

This is just a more convoluted way to get to the same end result - making sure the big teams make it through at the expense of the teams they wish weren't there.

I don't mind it. Big clubs can't just stroll the last game or two with a scratch team anymore because they risk losing a top 8 spot and having to go into a Play-Off. 

 

You also get a lot more "big" games early on with the top seeds playing two other top seeds, as well as giving the usual whipping boys a chance of actually winning a game or two by having two games more at their level guaranteed (as well as the games against the elite). When was the last time Celtic won a Champions League game nevermind scoring 5?

 

Happy to give it a chance, the group stages in the CL as it stood were dull as fuck.

There isn't a person on this forum wouldn't rather attend that, than go and see The Muffled Jackhammers or whoever you've got on your rotation this week.

On that TOTP podcast Taylor Parks was going on about how Fine Young Cannibals and Fun Lovin’ Criminals are both shit names. But if you swapped over the last word you’d have two good ones. Fun Lovin’ Cannibals in particular :lol:

Think my favourite goal outside Ginola’s is Collymore’s.  Pity he was touched in the fuckin heed he’d have been some player if he’d been able to focus on football and not concentrate so much on his MH…he was fuckin brilliant on his day…

It's not unprecedented. The bloke who is owner of Nottingham Forest is also the owner and president of Olympiacos

Fake news Craig. 


I can't be held responsible if you equate 'strong rumour' to actual news :lol:
