And it means that if there are new rules coming into effect this year we could be facing Man Yoo or Arse in the group stages Now, that would be interesting indeed. I had heard nothing about these supposed rule changes they are talking about here, anybody else hear anything?
The rule changes that I know of are that there are no second round groups for next time round. Straight knockout competition after the groups. Sounds like it could be a little fun. Bring on Arsenal we are due one on them and what a better place to get it. Also, you can be drawn against teams from your own country. We will have to spend money this year as the even though we may be pot less there is going to be a lot of games and a lot of demand. Imagine our lack of depth IF Petit and Lampard are both out. I am just hoping we get through that first round qualifier. It is time for Chelsea to STORM Europe again. I like the weekday afternoons in the pub and I have missed them over the last few years
We have to hope that ESPN Deportes shits the bed for a long time. If they get high enough subscription numbers and on a few cable systems then the Champions League will be on that channel instead of ESPN2.
