they didnt qualify though

didnt come in the top 4 in the Prem.

IMO they shouldn't have been allowed to defend it.

i mean if Brazil dont qualify for the world cup can they just go in because they won it.

They should be in the UEFA cup.

doesnt matter...the premiership is not the champions league

they are the champions....how can u watch the champions league when the champions are not in it? they won the trophy..that is more than good enough

its is the champions league

so the champions of each league go trough with the best other 2/3 teams the rules have always been in the prem that the top 2 go into the CL and the 3rd and 4th place teams go into the qualifiers for the CL

Liverpool didnt do this the winners never go into the CL its in the rules

well its about time they put a bloody stop to it
nothing wrong with a rule change..

liverpool were in the group that made the rubbish rules.

A load of fuss to change a rule made by rich clubs, for rich clubs.

Champions League.........pffffffft.

Bring back the the European Cup. For Winners.

they will have to change the rule now.

they cant let Liverpool in and not do it again for the winners who dont qualify automatically.

its all to shit now.

it would be stupid not to have let liverpool at least try and defend their title. the champions league isn't really a champions league, i mean how can four teams of one league all be champions? why dont they just have all the teams who won a trophy, or a league, get em into a pot and have a massive knock out campaign. win or lose. therefore, you always get the teams who win things.

the CL has been running for over 10 years the rules have always stated that its the top 3/4 placed teams who qualify not the winners of the competition.

the champions should be allowed to defend there title...because they are the CHAMPIONS!!!!! CHAMPIONS OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!
i know the rules TM but its about time they changed em

i agree the rules do need to be changed.

but as it stands Liverpool shouldn't be in the CL.

the only thing that the winners of the CL get is lots of money and a place in the world club cup.

if they did shrink the number of teams in the champions league, then fitures would ease up a tad. this would hopefully stop the top managers from whinging(tho i doubt it). at least we know we're getting a bonafide champion. in my opinion, liverpool shouldnt have even been it it last year, and neither should chelsea or man u. arsenal won the league, therefore thats it. possibly the fa cup winners? maybe even the league cup. thats three teams who've won a trophy, who are champions of something or another. let these teams battle it out, not the top finishers in the league. if a team finishes third all they should get is a bit more money and a pat on the back.

well u cant say Man Utd shouldn't have been in it and then say that u think the winners of the F.A cup should go in because Man Utd won the F.A cup lol

i was saying that as an example of league placing, not because they won the fa cup. think before you reply

me think...

u are the one who said that Man Utd shouldn't be in there and and then said that the F.A cup winners should be. All i was doing is pointing out that Man Utd won the F.A cup.

all i was saying is that the top four league positions except the champions should not be in there, but the fa cup winners should. and didnt arsenal win the fa cup?

This year yes not last year.

Man Utd beat Millwall 3 - 0 last year

i know what ur saying and it kinda makes sense but the rules have been that way since the start of the CL and if they were to change it know then it would devalue the league.

and then how are u going to decide who goes into the UEFA cup?.
