With the group stages now all done and dusted, the UEFA Champions League finally begins in my views. With the random, well almost random second round draw this Friday, their could be a potential few massive second round ties. How ever, last night at work I was debating with an Arsenal fan that the Champions League should go back to how it used to be, a straight knock out tournement with none of this seeding bollocks. For example, they say the team who wins this tournement deserve to win it yet you can lose games in the group stages and possibly get the "easiest" route to the final. I would much rather see a straight knock out competition, with no seeding, no keeping teams from the same county apart. Could you imagine a first round tie between Real Madrid and Barcelona? Manchester United vs Arsenal? I think it would make the competition so much more exciting, what do you guys think though?
