we have Pereira who will know a lot of inside knowledge about Valencia and the Nev's that should give us some insight.
this should be a straight forward CL win for us. a difficult one, but if were worried about the likes of Valencia then we have zero chance.

These days we're worried about everyone...are Valencia better than Brighton? If so, we worry... |

Valencia were much improved last season. Finished 4th in La Liga just 6 points behind Atletico in 2nd and 3 behind Real in 3rd.
Still, we SHOULD be better than them. But that relies on us getting the best out of our superior group of players, which we're just not doing and haven't done for a while. They're a real danger if we continue to play the way we are.

Looks like quite an exciting group to be fair. Some big, big games in there. I won't see any live games this year as I've ditched BT and no longer t have a laptop, but I'm sort of looking forward to the highlights.

Salzburg and Leipzig in the same group. Surely UEFA should've done something about that?

Well pull out I'm sure they did some thing to get through a loophole or something They haven't reached the groups in the Champions League yet. Due to sponsorship restrictions, they are known as FC Salzburg and wear a modified crest when playing in UEFA competitions. That's the only thing that changes and they're both still owned by fucking red bull. |

Not sure Valencia are the big boogeyman team people are making them out to be. Juve games will be tough, but I'd back us to get a result at home. I don't think Valencia are all that, but they are probably better than Brighton, which is why I'm worried! |

Fuck knows  www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45483586Uefa plans to introduce a third European club competition alongside the Champions League and Europa League from 2021. Uefa head of competitions Andrea Agnelli said "the green light has been given", pending approval. He did not give any more details on how the tournament would be organised or when it would be staged. Agnelli, who is also chairman of Italian champions Juventus, said: "The current model needs modernising." Speaking at the annual general assembly of the European Club Association in Croatia, he added: "A detailed assessment of the existing international match calendar is required prior to presenting a new model post-2024 |

Read a few bits that suggest it will be a return to the Cup winners cup, and the Europa league will go on League places alone. They'll have to cut the teams in the Europa though or fucking 10th place in the league will be enough to qualify, unless they restrict the numbers from the bigger nations and give the smaller nations more places
