Very unprofessional from the the lads in the studio last nite!

I will say though, they always bring immaculate vibes whenever I see them, like right there Kate losing it in a fit of laughter, Henry doesn't know what to say or do so starts playing the invisible piano, Carra looking confused trying to catch up, and Micah just sitting there proudly almost with a shit-eating grin on his face

Much more preferable than the forever miserable Souness and Roy Keane with the same old football cliches!

Are there no longer any groups in the Champions League? I can only find the overall points table!

Not trading the Liverpool match, but I see it's suspended more often than not.

It's the monkey, not game action..

I had the same queston. The beeb had a good summary, for a change.

Sounds like a much better format then four in a group Not quite sure why the top eight should play the second leg of the first knockout round at home though.

Doubt many Villa fans complaining about the ticket prices now.

To give a seeding advantage.

Second knockout round... they get a bye ?
Isn't first knockout round 9-24, so i presume 9-16 will get the same 2nd leg advantage.

There's no mention of that in the BBC explanation so I presume it would be a random draw. The eight seeded teams already have an advantage of skipping the qualifying round so I don't see why they need an additional advantage of playing the last leg away.

1-8 go straight through. 9-16 play 17-24 to join 1-8 in the next round; the seeding advantage for finishing 9-16 being to play 2nd leg at home. 25-32 are out.
