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

Can’t agree with that. See my post above.

Celtic got the easiest draw. PSG the hardest. Our draw was relatively good.

I don’t believe any of the CL draws were rigged ever. By the way just about every fanbase thinks it is rigged against them.

Sometimes, being taken to court continually aside, the World isn’t against us.

The world is definitely not against us. I know a Swindon fan, a Rangers fan, an EFC fan and our window cleaner (non-aligned) like us, but the PL, our dearly beloved FA and those money grabbing bastards in Nyon? It's just a fair chunk of the football world, the RDAHMeedya, and those teams who've had their nose put out of joint over the last ten years!
 
Think we'll need to win our two remaining home games and probably get at least 3 or 4 points in the away games to get into the top 8.
 
Last night feels like night doesn’t really matter.

We could even lose in Paris, draw against Juve and win both home games, finish 19th or somewhere and then just go from there. A couple of extra games might even do our players who won’t have played too much this season a bit of good.

Preferably we’d win all four and qualify in the top eight which we could still do.

Either way, what would be a crucial loss in any other competition, just feels like it’s got no real importance on our CL campaign.

For the best teams there is no jeopardy of any real meaning in any games. Having the top 24 qualifying makes the games feel like pre season friendlies in importance.

Just last week, everyone was moaning that our injury crisis was because Pep chose to go strong against Tottenham. Just 1 game apparently creat3d a mini crisis in our team.

Now, we are talking about playing 2 more games in the busiest part of the season, and having a harder path to UCL final (because round of 16 is seeded now). 2 games where we would have to use our best 11.

Honestly, the arguments people have against it are so damn stupid. When was the last time any group stage loss was dangerous for us? This is the most jepardy we've had in a linglong time in UCL.
 
Chubby Robbie from AFTV isn't a fan now after the last round of results, they've began "we are going to win fuck all" pretty early this season.
 
The extra games is my only issue because we are not really needing them, otherwise playing different teams rather than the same 3 twice I do prefer

they could have gone with group stages and kept to 32 teams but would have meant 8 groups of 4 and less games in this stage so was never happening because its all abput advertisers cash not the football
