Sporting thought of the day
I couldn't agree more with Villa boss Martin O'Neill's view on the all-new Europa League (UEFA Cup to you and I).
In it's current and future format, it is still a poor man's Champions League and will always remain so until the group structure is scrapped.
A straight knockout would be far more exciting, entertainingly unpredictable and would also stop managers moaning about the congested fixture schedule that the competition creates.

Too many games - it's a total lunacy.
Why no mention of Oneills disgraceful tactics and team formations this season in the uefa? Not only that but all the wealthy fans who went to russia got a free meal. How about those of us who bought tickets for villa to see our reserves in the first leg? What did we get from the Fraud?
Let's hope football's MOM (most overrated manager) remembers to withdraw Villa this time before making us the laughing stock of Europe.
Better still maybe Lerner will have sacked the Fraud by then.
