The way it is now....? A disgrace. It's boring, the fixtures are ridiculous and no one cares about it until the final (unless you're in that is).

Sounds a lot like the CL then Istanbul. Although at least in that all the knockout games are watchable. A student of mine is lifelong rednose, and he never bothers with the CL group games. 'Boring, meaningless games', as he described them. 'Wake me up at the knockout stage, until then I'll save the money for leauge games'.

I must admit I only have half an eye on them myself.
As for the UEFA cups games, they are all shown on telly in some form or another, they often (to often) pretty much play to half empty houses, and the whole competition has been hamstrung by the CL. Does anyone bar the fans bother to watch the games on telly? Most of the ones I've seen bore me rigid.
Agree totally Istanbul, although I would argue that all the European competitions were more exciting as knock-outs.
