Still Not Worthy Of A Thread


Recommended Posts

Used to love watching Football Italia in the 90s on Channel 4 when I was growing up. Shame the football has gone the way it has

 

That was brilliant. Every Saturday morning 10am was it?

UEFA to tweak CL format: Pot 1 in the group phase draw will only be made up of the Top 7 league champions + defending CL champions.

 

Not too sure this will change much the fact that most CL groups are two top teams + two fillers.

stop cases like Man City being a league champion and in pot 3 couple of years back. Could have an interesting knock on effect on the big sides who don't win their league in a year (eg Arsenal, runner up of Real and Barca etc) bumps them down a pot.

It won't change much imho. You'll have a bunch of league champions that are now usually in pot 2 (France, Italy, Portugal...) bumped up to pot 1 - and some big guys demoted to pot 2. Net effect is still a majority of groups with 2 big clubs and cannon fodder. I can only see some outlier cases where this makes a difference, like City of years ago or Dortmund when they won the league and were also in pot 3.

:lol: The theme tune is my ringtone on my phone. Usually get weird looks when it goes off, but there's been a few times someone's heard it and shouted "Football Italia!"

Without putting too much thought into it you're probably right, but I think it's a sensible change, a rare achievement when UEFA/FIFA start tinkering with things.

Grealish's missus is fucking unreal.

Not sure how he's pulled that one.

 

Yeah, no idea how professional footballers always seem to end up with stunners.  Can't think why.

When asked what he would have been if he hadn’t become a professional footballer, Peter Crouch replied: “A virgin.”

Pics or at least a name to google, please.

 

I need to know everything related to such a great footballing prospect, of course.
