Great solution to avoid protecting the elite there - protect the elite.
The only thing more (supposedly) tedious than the CL draw is people routinely complaining about the CL draw.

Domestic champions to be top seeds.

Probably won't change too much ultimately and in fact may even make things easier.Quote:

Silly from UEFA as it's clear the champions of certain leagues are weaker than the 3rd/4th placed teams of other leagues. Guessing the Gypos must have caused enough of a fuss (*cough* bribe *cough*) after yesterday's draw for UEFA to act.
I'm surprised elitist Arsenal hasn't stepped in to defend the old school. Maybe we aren't as elite as some make out?Quote:

Excellent news for non-entities like Monaco, if they can somehow outspend PSG.
The gypos have zero CL heritage - that's why they are in pot 3. The only reason they won the PL is because they got a chequebook out. The CL draw was one of the last examples of arab cash not being able to buy an immediate result.
One other point - if they are referring to "champions" then why not make it a tournament that lives up to the name? Champions only? Their whole "Champions" rationale for this change goes right out the window when you consider actual champions are outnumbered 3-1 in the tournament.
It's comical the gypos have had to buy this change. With all the money they spent, why haven't they been able to progress to the latter stages anyway? Why should the draw be a hindrance to billion quid club? It'll also be sickening to see those arab rats revelling in the latter stages they were previously unable to play their way into.
Arab rats?

What would you call them, to be polite? Businessmen? Fine upstanding members of the community. What's a pleasant name for a modern day slaver?
'White rats' have been doing that for centuries! :lol:
I tend to refer to those cunts as vermin with rat bastard reserved for the inbetweeners. I hate everyone equally, I'm the least discriminatory person around by a mile, if that's what you are getting at.Quote:
