Looks a good deal to me for the English clubs ? Title: Re: Champions League Qualifying Post by: boldie on December 08, 2008, 05:02:45 PM didn't top three already qualify automatically?

Right, well great deal for English clubs then. Title: Re: Champions League Qualifying Post by: kinboshi on December 08, 2008, 05:28:08 PM I think it's meant to mean it will be more difficult for whoever finishes 4th in England.
Title: Re: Champions League Qualifying Post by: Scottish Dave on December 08, 2008, 08:39:19 PM good result for Scotland too, as the winner will go directly into Group stage, this wasn't always the case, as Celtic won the league before, and still had to qualify!!!!

This. 4th will get a harder qualifying match on average compared to before, but 3rd gets straight into the Champs league proper. Title: Re: Champions League Qualifying Post by: pokerfan on December 08, 2008, 09:16:47 PM Shouldnt bother our teams at worst they have to play 3rd place from Russian league or 2nd from Dutch,Portugese etc.Spain,Italy,Germany,France teams dont figure against our sides.
