Someone forgot to tell Bein Sports this SL is over...
But we weren't. We were offered to take part in a competition along with 5 league rivals 4 of whom are way ahead of us right now in terms of squads and finances. That would enable them to compete in the superleague from the off and therefore make more money.The problem with our model is that to be competitive you have to be smarter than other clubs, Liverpool and Leicester two good examples of being smarter than other clubs. The problem with that is being smarter than everyone else is very difficult, it takes effort, and the apathy that emanates from the owner doesn't encourage a culture of continued effort to be smarter than everyone else. The SL, just from a narrow Arsenal perspective, would've been very beneficial, cos we'd get rewarded without even having to be smarter and put the effort in.
Arsenal is the lazy dosser of elite football, hoping to hitch a ride on the gravy train.
they brought in the opposite really last week... sound dull as ****The Champions League is crap, really dull and tedious until you get to the last 16 knockout phase. I would like to see the pointless group system scrapped and replaced with a straight knockout.
Maybe something like the World snooker championships could work. There is a huge qualifying tournament, the 16 qualifiers join with the top 16 and the 'proper' tournament begins.
Lets face it even people who are interested in snooker don't watch the qualifying, a bunch of 'lower' players slogging it out, they want to watch it from the last 32 on when the big boys are introduced. Why do UEFA think football fans are any different?
From the 2024/25 season, there will be a single league made up of all 36 competing clubs. This will give four more sides the opportunity to compete against the best clubs in Europe.
Under the new format, teams will play four matches more than is currently the case. They will no longer play three opponents twice – home and away – but will instead face fixtures against 10 different teams, half of them at home and half of them away.
While the top eight teams will advance automatically to the round of 16, those sides placed between ninth and 24th will enter a play-off round.

Yes, Laporta still wants this to happen.Barca are officially still in it, aren't they?
There will always be boring games. Have you watched United v the top teams lately in the league. Have you watched our games against City. Absolutely nothing interesting or exciting. It is a myth that these big games are so much more exciting that others. The only difference is there's more at stake.The Champions League is crap, really dull and tedious until you get to the last 16 knockout phase.

Ray Parlour - Its all about business, it's all about making money
Our former players besides Wrighty are disgraceful.
Fair enough, Ray Parlour has a point about AFTV but what has that got to do with Kroenke? He’s even reluctant to call out the owner.
