It's the famous teams fault for not qualifying lol

Haha, yeah.
Man U - Valencia and Man U - Rangers can be good too even though Valencia have lost their biggest stars.
-
rangers have absolutely no chance of getting anything more than some much-needed revenue from this competition...fuck going to turkey for the bursaspor game tho :-\

But those "Battle of Britannia" is always thrilling imo. And yeah, those Turks are insane lol.

^they gon rip your guts out if your team wins the game arguably because of a wrong ref decision and you start to taunt them

yeah be good to have United at Ibrox, for the spectacle if nothing else. going into the campaign with no expectations could be a good thing i guess lol
-
3rd place is the main aim in the group.
Got a feeling that we'll do better in this group than we did last season, especially games at Ibrox.
-
Should be straightforward.
-
FC Twentuhhhh!

Too many shitty leagues are getting spots now. I wouldn't mind if England, Germany, Italy, Spain, France & Portugal got another spot instead.

That is what is ruining the competition
Too many teams that don't deserve to be in the champions league are there, and it would be worse giving teams that finish 5th in their league a spot in the champions league.
Time for the competition to go back to champions only or change the whole competition to a European league format.

Ya im sure people prefer to see likes of juventus, liverpool there instead of some crap greek, ukranian or israeli team

Exactly. Juventus, Liverpool, Porto & Man City should be in CL, not Europa.
-
LOL, If a team gets into the CL by finishing 7th in the league, you might as well abandon the whole tournament..
-
Well I like that there are some smaller teams, being champions of their own league, and they get some important money from this which is good too...

Why should they?
What is the point of the competition, why have domestic league football then?
Why should the best financially league's get priority over other leagues? Why let these 'cash rich' clubs get the chance to get richer?

Spot on.

I ain't talkin about money nor do I care.
It's about what's best for the competition. These groups look like the worst groups I've ever seen. Imagine how more entertaining the CL would be if:
Basel
Bursaspor
CR Cluj
Tel-Aviv
Partizan
Zilina
were replaced with
Liverpool
Juventus
Porto
Man City
Atletico
Leverkusen

Liverpool

Well, they weren't good enough in the league last season, so there you go,

I understand Juve doesn't deserve it, they finished 7th. But teams like Porto finished third and weren't even awarded an opportunity to play in the CL playoff? :o I didn't mention teams like Sevilla because they had a chance and lost (to Braga). But Porto finished 3rd and went straight to Europa ::)

Why on earth should man city be in there ?
They havent won a trophy in over 30 years and even with all the money they spent they couldnt qualify !

That's because the Portugese league is not good enough to have that many CL spots.

But all those other shit leagues deserve one? Teams like Benfica, Braga & Porto would shit all over those 6 teams I mentioned. It's not like the Portuguese league has many spots. 1st place goes directly and 2nd goes to the playoff. I think 3rd place should get a chance at the playoff too. Especially now that Braga is a good team. Sporting finished 4th last year and they're a good team who have developed countless world class players and 2 previous Ballon D'or winners

LMAO I hope their defense improves though.

weeeeell at least in our group gentleman ;D
Lyon is gonna be tuff tho i think theyll take the lead but Benfica and Tel Aviv will get chewed up for breakfast 8)

As much as I want Spurs to get far, I doubt they really will. They bought Van De Vaart today to try strengthen their squad, was good they got someone with European experience in. If the other British team get knocked out, no doubt the whole of Britain will support them.
Just a shame Liverpool are not in it. I remember Jose Mouriniho saying, "Liverpool get worse and worse every year". Dude has a point, hope Hodgson can change that around this year.
And imo, Barcelona will win the champions league. David Villa will be unstoppable this year.

Atleast they are champions.

Is that their fault?
You can only win the league that you are.
Rangers and Celtic are bigger clubs than most of the ones that you have mentioned that deserve to be in the CL. However they play in a poor league (Scottish) and from next season shall only have club that wins the league in the CL and they shall have to play in the qualifying rounds to get there.
Should they have to do that, while you want 5th in England, Spain, Italy, etc or what if the teams that you mention finish 6th, 7th etc?
The so called 'bigger leagues' get too many places as it is, and with this these leagues get stronger while the smaller leagues lose places and in turn turn into weaker leagues.
The competition has lost its true value and meaning IMO, they have a cheek to call it the 'European Champions League', too many teams aren't champions in it.
