    The first European Cup was won by Airdrie. They beat Juventus 4-0 in the final.

    Yeah, it was easy. How come no English team won it till 1968 then?

    If you watch the video I posted up in the original post I answer the points comprehensively and in an "unsinkable" fasion.

    Bottom line is the Champions League is 100 time harder than the old Auto Windscreens standard of the old European cup.

    Granted it was harder in the 60's and early 70's when there was some fantastic European sides about. But the quality dropped considerably after that. Which coincided with the amount of poor English sides winning it.

    You're using Villa's victory as the main justification for your argument. They started off against Rejkyavik then had to play Dynamo Berlin, Dynamo Kiev, Anderlecht and Bayern Munich. I know you'll be an expert on world football through the ages so you won't need me to tell you that the teams they defeated in the semi finals were composed of the rump of Belgian and West German national teams which contested the final of the 1980 European champiopnship and then performed with credit in the 1982 world cup with the West germans making the final. But yes, Villa fluked it.

    When Celtic won the European Cup, it was against the toughest opponents in history.

    Every other ****ing year pales in comparison and if you disagree then you're a ****ing brain dead nigel who doesn't understand football.

    Got that, Mark?

    Any chance of coming off the fence and letting us know whether or not you disagree with him?

    The EC reached the peak of difficulty between 2009 and 2011 :bandit:

    Seriously though, why did we have to play The Greatest Club Side of All Time&#8482; twice, and Liverpool got to play The Dog and Duck and the Parisian Paraplegic Society? <wah>

    I don't let naïve club loyalty blind me and make me look silly.

    Fact remains the old European Cup was poor compared to the much harder to win current format.
