One agreed change is that the team that comes third in the Premier League will go straight into the Champions League.

Like you did with the UEFA Cup you mean?

Arsene Wenger is responsible for demeaning the UEFA cup?

Platini's ideas being rejected? Well frankly I'm shocked. He'll go back to complaining how tackling is unfair on the good players, or how players shouldn't be able to move clubs, as it's unfair when folks leave clubs like Nancy and end up at huge clubs like Juventus.

I think it's unfair to blame Arsene Wenger for the laughable state of the UEFA Cup, frankly.

More national champions in is good news though :thup:

Platini iafc.

So he's made the Champion's League worse by offering another direct route for third palce finishers in England, Spain and Italy? What a deceitful, weasel ****.

Wow, couldnt see his idea been shot down in flames at all. Such a shock.
