Disagree, scoring 3 away goals is better than 1No it’s not.
It’s much better, that’s why they got rid of them.

It was 2013, which the Final was at Wembley. 3 of the 4 sides in 2012/2013’s Semi’s are also in this season’s comp - only difference being PSG for Barca.No home finalist at Wembley then .
Bayern Dortmund final as in 2012 ?
Unlikely I feel but ..
There is very little difference.Disagree, scoring 3 away goals is better than 1
Arsenal losing to a German team - does that adversely affect that co-efficient thing?
The other cheating gits got through though.Cheating gits out.
You obviously did not watch the City game. They attacked for 120 minutes, Madrid just stuck 6 at the back and hung on. One match does not define 2 Leagues. Ridiculous.Premier League demonstrating just how overrated it is.
I live in a largely Spurs supporting area. They were rooting for Bayern tonight.
I actually disagree I’d rather see the best 32 European teams in the CL than all the winners of each league.Should never be 5 anyway. Worse enough that 4 are in it.
Wrexham promoted again, I’m sure that will make the documentary! Really pleased for Ryan Reynolds, seems a good guy.Stockport win league 2.
Stick that in your Disney documentary Ryan Reynolds!
No it’s not.stupid that away goals don't count
Scoring 3 goals at home is better than 1 as well.Disagree, scoring 3 away goals is better than 1
What league is better?Premier League demonstrating just how overrated it is.
But that's roughly what you get in the group stage...I actually disagree I’d rather see the best 32 European teams in the CL than all the winners of each league.
No one wants to watch Man City v the Albanian champions lol
They were 2 seriously talented teams, I think both are some way off now though Bayern have some serious players still, whilst Borussia continue their unbelievable scouting of youth.It was 2013, which the Final was at Wembley. 3 of the 4 sides in 2012/2013’s Semi’s are also in this season’s comp - only difference being PSG for Barca.
Hope Dortmund go all the way!
Been a bad day for anybody saying it's the highest quality league in the world.With L'pool or West Ham unlikely to progress, could be only Villa flying the flag. Who'd have thought it? Maybe, just maybe, the PL just isn't as good as we all think.
A goals a goal, there were some crap games with that weird rule.stupid that away goals don't count
They're just different games. Silly to make that a tiebreaker imo.Disagree, scoring 3 away goals is better than 1
And he was born in Wordsley hospital to, you can still hear his black country accent if you listen closelyWatching Jude Bellinghams interview tonight, really comes across very well for such a young lad, he could become one of the best players we have ever produced and is much more likeable than some of the idiots we've had.
Every Premier League team must be kicking themselves for missing out on him when he was at Blues.
"No one"! I'd bet the fans of Partizani (yes, I had to Google it) do. I'd also watch it, in the faint hope that they'd embarrass City or just to watch the goals flood in.I actually disagree I’d rather see the best 32 European teams in the CL than all the winners of each league.

PL fanboys like to claim that midtable Prem teams would win Serie A and compete for the Bundesliga title.You obviously did not watch the City game. They attacked for 120 minutes, Madrid just stuck 6 at the back and hung on. One match does not define 2 Leagues. Ridiculous.
Yes, that is nonsense.PL fanboys like to claim that midtable Prem teams would win Serie A and compete for the Bundesliga title.
It's rubbish. Also, detect a bit of snobbery regarding how Madrid setup the second leg. Ultimately ,they went through, City didn't.
Just think folk are making the point that the PL is over-hyped. It could very well be the best (how do you measure such things) and most competitive top European league, but no semi-finalists must say something. The English media and obsession with the Sky 6 don't help. I watch a lot of football and for me, the PL is definitely the most entertaining.You obviously did not watch the City game.

Not nonsense, people have been making those claims for years. There's decent football outside of England, that's the point. Would recommend Serie A to anyone, for one.Yes, that is nonsense.
More realistically, it’s that prem teams down to 8,9,10th every season would be in with a very credible shout at making 3rd-4th in those leagues, slowly racking up the UEFA coefficient and share of the spoils. The bottom half teams are significantly stronger (other than the utter dross in our bottom 3-5) than Europe generally.
CL quarter finals are a different beast though.
Any of those QF teams would have probably battered any of the lesser lights of current ‘big 6’ over 2 legs. Levels and experience.
The Prem is great, just sick of the constant Sky love in with constantly calling it 'the best in the world' and looking down on other European leagues which have great and historic clubs in them, with good players may I add.For all the abuse the premier league gets. It’s a 3 horse race still. Compare it to the German, French, Italian, Spanish leagues where the winner is miles ahead currently.
The "Champion's League" is a tournament of midweek games. It's a stupid competition, and it means very little, honestly.Just think folk are making the point that the PL is over-hyped.

The 3rd paragraph is an interesting take and one I'd never considered mate. I was raised on the European competitions of 70s & 80s, when it seemed a magical land. Hearing Peter Jones articulate the names of players from Dynamo Dresden, Saint Etienne etc was almost other worldly. That world is now nothing more than some kind of supermarket.The "Champion's League" is a tournament of midweek games. It's a stupid competition, and it means very little, honestly.
It would mean more if teams were closer to equally fresh, but they aren't. No team is fresh for a midweek game anyway (obviously), and the differences between leagues are not trivial.
I know the Spanish, German, and Italian leagues want it to be super important because their own leagues are so cripplingly boring on a game to game basis (German and Spanish especially) that they can't sell their rights abroad for **** because people don't watch, but that's the truth as I see it.
Still fun to **** talk the Sky 6, mind.
In a less connected world it was fascinating!The 3rd paragraph is an interesting take and one I'd never considered mate.

ESPN pays them 30m/season for US rights. They pay la liga 175 million/season. NBC pays the prem 450m/season.The Germans did try to sell the rights didn’t they but the fans protested strong about it ?
