Bloody tedious competition, and much more suited to armchair glory hunters than anyone who actually follows a team.
Unfortunately, it's all part of the money grabbing gravy train that has totally ruined the game (and you all thought that City had done it single handedly).
I've never watched it in the past, hate that bloody crap theme tune, and all the discussions about pots and coefficients make me feel like sticking my head in a gas oven (bloody natural gas).
And to be honest, I only watch City in it through a sense of duty.

We talk. She seems beautiful on the surface. She's pretty. She's funny. She's educated and can banter with the best of them.
I ask her for dinner or a drink sometime. She says she has a BF.
Fuck her. I never really fancied her anyway. She's incredibly average actually...i mean....look at all of her faults. I won't list them because I'm a gentleman.
cheers

Sadly it is important to the club that we do well in it.

Every player in the world wants to play in this competition and no player will ever be classed as world class until they prove themselves in this competition. Like it or hate it this competition is the pinnacle of club football in the world.
Our fans attitude to it seems very strange. Going on about how they dont give a shit about it and the league is all that matters but the fact is if we dont improve in the CL very quickly then we can forget about challenging for the league. Lack of progress in the CL means it been harder to hold onto the likes of Aguero and Silva, lack of progress means it been harder to attract the top players in the world and without them we wont challenge for the PL.
I know the responsibility of progressing is mainly down to the players, but the Adrenalin boost that the players can get from a full rocking Etihad should not be under-estimated. These nights are the most special in a players career and its a shame we dont have the supporters who can share in this.

Cancelled my Champs League ticket scheme today so do not have to get an automatic ticket for the Bayern game and got a refund on the CSKA game so not going to that as well, saved £70 to boot.
It feels bad because I totally believe in the owners, what they want to achieve, what they have brought us so far and there will be more to come.
I have not enjoyed one single game at home since we got in it.
Frustrated!

Got to agree with the rags here because i dont understand that thinking either. The CL is the holy grail to every professional footballer and to our owners. The only ones that dont seem interested in it is our own fans which is such small time thinking.
If we can become a contender for the CL, we will win more than our fair share of PL titles along the way

Rubbish. How is it small time thinking if you don't enjoy a particular competition.
And the holy grail to any professioal footballer should be playing for their country. Wanting C/L means wanting C/L wages, nothing else.
It's a bloody sheep thing, which is why rags and scouse keep on about it.
