I haven't followed the champ league really since the mid 90s so I am starting to watch it a bit more now
I have followed for a very long time very keenly, its the pinnacle of European football.
Clubs aren't taken seriously in Europe until they have performed in the CL. Chavski's win was a huge step, turned them from a good club into a great club. Clubs can win as many domestic titles as they want but they wont be thought of as a powerhouse until they win the CL.
Cant see an English side winning it this year, you are our best hope, we have defensive issues and are not consistant enough, Chavs are world beaters one minute and plodders the next and Shiteh are flat track bullies who qualified from the softest group.
Im tipping United and Shiteh to be knocked out in Round of 16 ( provided we even get out of group ), Chavs to lose in quarters and Arsenal to make semis
