Champions League 2018/2019 (Shaktar Donetsk, Lyon, Hoffenheim)

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Taken from the Independant. I heard about this on Talkshite a few months ago.

The Champions League has always kicked off at 7.45pm (GMT/BST) but from the 2018/19 season they will start at either 5.55pm or 8pm – similar to how the Europa League functions.

Wait so an English team could end up with a 5.55 ko at home?

That's not right. There's always been an early kick off.

City will have to price the home games cheap because there's not an attractive match.

Yeah thats true as the sad fucks who only want to se us play barca and real probably won't bother.

New teams at the ground makes this the most interesting draw for a while rather boring same teams every year but unfortunately some won't see it that way

Do we know fixtures yet chaps?

Fixtures come out 2 hours after the draw.

Need to reverse the Shaktar away result from last year.

If Liverpool got this group there would already be social media video posts of them bouncing around in pubs singing that daft "ole ole ole" song.

Just been sent this

WTF? What about the bus wreckers?

 

[pudge]

Lyon away first, with the empty stadium, would certainly be best
