    Question on Champs league

    My question is, whats the deal with the Champions League playin? I never noticed it before!
    I always thought the top 4 teams from the Prem were automatically in Champions League, yet I see Arsenal are playing Celtic? So the team that finishes 4th has to play their way in? And if so do they ever lose? I never remember a year where there werent 4 teams in there is why this is strange to me, Ive been watching now for almost 10 years so I just wanted to make sure I understood what the deal was and I feel dumb....Thanks

    Yeap the 4th place Premiership team has to play in the play-off round before entering the group stages. Couldn't tell you when the last time the 4th place team lost though

    Villareal 4-2 Everton, August 2005

    At no stage have 4 EPL teams gone straight into the CL groups.

    Crosby, the main European football site for this sort of info is here, although if you (understandably) can't get your head around it, holidaysong or Schumi will be able to make (somewhat) sense of it!

    I think you may have taken a wrong turn somewhere Crosby.

    This is a forum for fans of Irish club football.

    If you want information on the English game, I suggest you try your nearest barstool.

    Or, to be more polite, you could have asked the question in the 'World Football' forum, where there's already a CL thread.
