Champions League 2013/14

[METALMAN]

Yes! I got the big one!

Not much news. The draw is on 24th June.

I can also confirm that the Tottenham Hotspurs will NOT be participating.

[brenchill]

Lineker is going to be pissed.

[Lineker]

Not particularly?

heheheh, I saw that you mucked the link up before you corrected it. Silly Andy.

[brenchill]

Not particularly?

You're turning green!

[Lineker]

I was up ill during the night, that could be it.

Don't understand the furore, I made the PL and FL threads on the same day a year ago and nobody said anything then. No point in discussing next season in an old, now out-dated thread. But whatever, it really not important who starts the threads.

[brenchill]

My money's on Bayern to retain.

I can't be bothered doing these things by phone!

[Colly]

You stole my bit.

[Hobo]

[Lineker]

[METALMAN]

So angry that he can't think straight and has to resort to tired stereotyping!

[Thrilla]

How is BATE Borisov's co-effiency so low? They've been in the group stage for the past five years, it seems.

[DavidMarrio]

Won't it be because of the countries co-efficient rather then the individual clubs which is why they have to qualify earlier on.

[Adam]

It will indeed, they're in this round because of Belarus' low standing in the national club co-efficients.

[Thrilla]

Ah, I thought each club's performance was rated as well.
