Deanburn Dave Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I object to the use of the word Champions when it's the top 4 clubs in the big leagues who compete. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the whole competition is a pile of shite. Out of interest, how many "champions" have won it in the last say 10 years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed viewing figures worldwide would be pretty good for the champions league. Are they poor? Edit: Looked it up and some sources say the final between Real Madrid and Liverpool had 380 million viewers, and then the Spurs Liverpool final broke BT’s viewing record last year.

deej Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Folk that refer to Tennents as "T" or "Vitamin T", capitalising every "T" in sentences related to it are just as bad as those that come out with the "big juicy" patter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Group stage viewing figures are pretty dismal. The final attracts a huge crowd, but that's on a Saturday night and is one of the most hyped events of the sporting year. Week-in, week-out, your average football fan is not watching Champions League games. Sky and BT have both seriously struggled to pull in an audience for it. Not followed the story recently, but I know UEFA (read sponsors) were unhappy with the figures on BT Sport and Sky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JTS98 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 3 minutes ago, Dele said: The Champions League was superb last season. Was it really though? There were 125 matches in the competition last year. The semi-finals were very exciting, for sure. And the quarters had two exciting ties. However, 20 games in the group stages (out of a total of 96) were won by three goals or more. Superb viewing? The fourteen knockout ties leading up to the final included aggregate scores of 4-0 (twice), 10-2, 5-1, 6-1. That's more than a third of the knockout ties being walkovers. Superb? And then the final was pish. Yet the hype machine takes a handful of ties and builds a narrative of a great season around it. Most of it was shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I haven’t watched a game in years outside of the semi’s or final, but assumed it was still watched in big numbers throughout. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
