I'll defend the champions league a bit.
I won't defend uefa or the closed shop or anything but there are some great games and a lot of them would be lost if it was just the champions of the domestic leagues. Yes a lot of the same teams play each other constantly but there's always a few great games in the group stages and plenty more in the knock outs. Also get to see some of our former players doing well. Brown ideye and markus rosenborg both scored winners for their clubs last week (it does admittedly say something about the quality of the group stages in general).
It's not an amazing competition in general, the name needs to be changed and BT is dreadful but there are some great games in the tournament.
