    Spurs would have to win the European cup to even be in it surely?

    I’ve literally no idea what the criteria were for the invite.

    Basically it was champions league winners - Bayern, Chelsea, Real Madrid and City plus teams that had scored a high UEFA coefficient

    Specifically for European teams I should have said. The rest I think either won their own equivalent of the champions league for their own confederation or performed well. Oceania has its own confederation so a team with non league attendance at games can be the top representative, largely because Australia belongs to the AFC (Asian confederation).

    The premier league fixtures due out tomorrow have been “leaked”. Only issue is loads of the fixtures don’t make sense, like Forest playing twice on the same day and Leicester City included

    Apparently our opening fixture was meant to be away at Leeds. So will see who we actually play when the fixtures released tomorrow

    Starting off with Leeds brings back funny memories from the O'Leary days.

    Who would have thought that with all the ambition they showed during his days they'd become a yoyo club (and not even a good one for that matter).

    Ambition has to be sustainable

    They ended up in the position they did because Peter Ridsdale was mortgaging the clubs future on title runs and qualifying for the champions league. They failed to get into the CL in 2001 and it spiralled from there, they frankly couldn’t afford to spend what they were spending, and the player sales couldn’t cover the costs of the debts he accrued. They were actually quite fortunate not to have been put out of business.
