Let's hope we get the 3 points today.

Re the breakaway League, I am assuming the EPL teams which will go are Chelsea, UTD and City, maybe Arsenal?

I think UEFA made a massive mistake when they changed the format when it was still the European Cup. That is when Champions from the respective Leagues all had the chance to battle it out for the ultimate prize. The UEFA Cup was also a pretty damn good competition to watch until UEFA changed it's format too.

But of course, the changes were made in order to flood money into the game.

That has lead to all the major clubs in Europe realising that they do not need UEFA and other associations and that the clubs can become even more financially powerful if they break away from their current associations and they can also make their own rules and decide who they want to invite into the breakaway League.

{Ed002's Note - It is really unimportant who the sides are. There are counter proposals, one from UEFA and one from the owner of the Miami Dolphins. There are also folks who want to expand the concept of the world club cup to have some sort of knock out competition including sides from North and South America, Asia etc., and the expectation would, I have no doubt, be that clubs who breakaway would be able to play in some sort of domestic cup. But that is all fluff in the big scheme of things and the clubs involved are focussed opn their own plan.}
