UEFA competitions (CL, EL)

[Philippe]

Is spite of all his grand speeches, Platini's (aka "platoche le clown") plans mean more clubs in the CL for the 3 wealthiest leagues

and only one for the Nederlands

That would basically make him... how shall I put it... a fucking liar, n'est ce pas?

Platini

The man who wanted to outlaw the tackle.

The man who wants National Cup winners to play Champions league football.


What is it with great former footballers? Do they suddenly suffer from some form of dementia on hanging up their boots.

This sounds like a logical step forward, but it's a very interesting development nonetheless:

I think I like the idea...

Mind you, it's apparently called the UEFA Europa (not 'Europe') league.

OK, I edited out my whole post as I mis-read it as being a CL not UEFA Cup revamp Still a pretty crap new logo though

As I told my Swansea supporting mate at work today, I think this is to allow Wales to qualify

[Blind3]

Everyone except San Marino and Andorra. Even England should be able to get in.

Could be a full house of Eredivisie qualifiers if Twente can maintain its one to nil lead over Rennes in Enschede - Blaise n'kufo with the so far all important goal after 68 mins :hupajax.gif: .

Edit:

Twente clings to its narrow 1:0 lead for an eredivisie full house.

Portugal on the way to losing 5 from 6 reps and Romania looking like losing the majority of its contingent - a nice boost for Eredivisie in its quest to climb the uefa coefficient table.
