    We had several linked with us. Funnily enough, I don't recall him [Walter Zenga] being linked.

    Debate on Radio 5 Live at 13.00 [about 5 mins at the time of writing] about the state of English football. Usual members of The Monday Night Club involved, plus Trevor Brooking. Should be good listening. Will be available on the iPlayer Radio shortly afterwards: http://www.bbc.co.uk/5live

    Looking at Zenga's coaching history... Hmm.

    Getting the sack having taken a team to the bottom of the UAE League.

    Sounds great....

    He was "linked" by The Sun. But really it was made up bullshit.

    Oh no Fran. I'll vote yes. Having them "know"
    theyll do it but then fail, is so much more fun. I'm happy to encourage them along.

    Messi's hair though....

    Tello on the subs bench for Barca against Celtic so will probably get a run-out if anyone wants to see him.

    I'm not sure about this - I think you'd get far fewer 'top' sides and a lot more 'average' sides.

    E.g. only one of Read Mardrid / Atletico Madrid / Barcelona would be involved......but PFC Ludogorets Razgrad would be in

    I've got a pretty good idea to make the various big Spanish, Italian, German, etc... leagues be more attractive to overseas armchair viewers.

    And it's aimed largely at the biggest clubs in Europe. DON'T BE SO GOOD. Your leagues are not competitive enough. ;)

    Call your one something other than "Champions" League then :p

    I'll also throw in making mine a straight knock out.
