New CL Format Thoughts | After GW2 (pg13) | GW3 (pg33)

I can UEFA expanding this format to merge the UEFA Europa League teams in and present a single European tournament one day. It could adapt easily to accommodate more clubs. My only disappointment is the lack of fresh club in the CL in recent years, up to the new format. Clubs that win their league should be allowed a cracking at the group stages. That beings said TNS of England/Wales are in Italy tonight...
 
If we win the Champions League, and if we have to do it via a play off that’s 19 games, half a fucking league season of midweek games! They’ve already almost got their super league

Fair play, you have to get through a lot of stages before you get to club coefficient which means a team would go through based purely based on this year's performance.
God help the commentators on the last day trying to keep up and explain all that though.

Lol - hadn't considered that to be honest.
It'll be like transfer deadline day - hope they have plenty of wet wipes for the spit being sprayed.

I’m almost a bit gutted I’ll be going to the last game.

Watching that channel on TNT that covers all the games will be absolutely mental.

18 simultaneous games, with a massive table down the side, changing almost every time a goal is scored.

There were 58 goals scored in the round of games this week. That’s about a goal every minute and a half on average, when all the games are being at the same time.

Good luck to whoever is the studio anchor that night.
 
Too soon to tell. I expect the final table to throw up a few surprises, that’s when we should appraise the new format.
 
I actually agreed with Ally McCoist when he asked how can goal difference be used when some teams play the lowest ranked sides at home and others play them away?

It's early days and most of us (certainly old gits like me) don't like change!

I still think we should have a comp where it's the Champions from each country and you just get drawn out of a bag!

Anyone remember Liverpool (European Cup Holders) playing Nottingham Forest (English Champions)???
Now that was a time!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah they played each other in round one when it could have been the final. No way would I ever want to go back to that.
