    if champions league matches were to be played on weekends as well as the premier league matches, then wouldn't the fixtures be just as congested as ever?


    a team can't be playing both league matches at one go right?

    How are you getting on in America with watching the CL QFs back-to-back without being 'informed' of the score in the other match?


    I was watching the Chelsea v Valencia tie but again ITV (namely Alan Parry) kept supplying 'helpful' updates like the Scholes sending off early on. I had to mute him for the 2nd half so I'd not have the other match ruined.



    When are they going to learn?

    never going to happen I'm afraid - however great it would be for the US armchair fan - no one watches tv on the weekends unless there is a special event e.g. the FA Cup Final.


    My balls will be perfectly round before this happens.

    Any team that joins a "Super League" will receive no support from me...the reason I am attracted to teams in Europe is the history & cup competitions they are involved in and yet these large teams seem to think that they can exist out of what made them so great in the first place. You would see a league like this successful for a few years but then people would get tired...sorry, I rather watch the Championship then a football version of the US NFL.

    I absolutely agree with Corey. I watch professional soccer in Spain and England because I've live in Europe, love the games and rivalries, love the tension of relegation, and WANT something different from drab (my view) US leagues like the NFL. No to any SuperLeague.

    YES to a Superleague. Half the teams in domestic leagues don't belong there. This is the next step in football's evolution.
