No surprise to see Spurs lose their 100% record at the first hurdle.
Oh well, Europa Cup next season.

I agree entirely. As an Everton supporter our only decent performances last season were in the Europa League (with one or two exceptions), ironically some of our worst performances were during the EL break, but the competition itself loads more games and potential fatigue and injury on players of clubs who are likely to have fewer resources than the regular CL clubs, which means their performance in their domestic leagues is likely to suffer, and therefore they are less able to challenge the stranglehold of those clubs on the conventional CL qualification route, i.e. via their domestic league position....well that's my theory anyway!! So @SpokeyDokey I take your point about it being a big pot in itself but the clubs qualifying via that route could be the ones less likely to progress in the CL anyway and have worn themselves thin in the process anyway. The CL won't bring as much money to them unless they get into the group stage and the monopoly continues.
I may be stuck in the 1970s/1980s mud but it was far more interesting IMHO when there was the European Cup (for the champions of each country - the term Champions League is a bit of a paradox), the UEFA Cup and the ECWC, which gave more teams the chance of some European football and a possible trophy, but now money has taken over as UEFA's and FIFA's god, competition has been thoroughly eroded.
Well, after 40 minutes of the 2015-16 season gone,Sunderland are, IMO, STRONG relegationLeicester City are, IMO, STRONG title winning candidates.
I'd just like to state for the record that Leicester City are top of the Premiership.
I'll happily stand corrected, but I think that's the first time ever.
Edit - my son thinks we were top once when Martin O'Neill was in charge?

It appears nobody can provide a decent programme about the Football League - why did nobody realise having dorky supporters in the studio wouldn't work?Just heard on Channel 5 that they have the Football League highlights at 9pm - I take it that everyone at the BBC eventually got fed up with it being one of the worst sports programmes ever. Pinocchio was less wooden than the presenters.
Half time, Arsenal 0 West Ham 1.
Please don't do this to me, I'm following the game on the Guardian's MBM and I won't be able to stand the tension of the next 45 minutes.
0-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
