UEFA Champions League 2013-14

Fenerbahce will play Arsenal in the CL playoffs.

Even if Arsenal lose, they could still advance due to the fact that fehnerbache still havent got the verdict on their european football ban.

What did Fehnerbache do? Are you guys playing off as well for a ECL spot.

No Chelsea automatically qualified for the main draw because thy finished in the top 3 of the EPL. Arsenal finished 4th so they have to play a home and away round against Fehnerbache and the winner advances to the main draw.


What are Fehnerbache like Chef? I see they are based in Istanbul (not Contstaninople!) but other than that I don't know anything about them. Who are their big names? Are they better or worse than Galatasary?

It's been a long time gone, Constantinople.

Why did Constantinople get the works?

Not as good as Gala, but still decent opposition. Made it to the Semi's of the Europa League last year. Big names would be Meireles, Kuyt, Webo I guess. Don't know a heap about them, think BAD is a fan.

Handed a 2 year UEFA ban for match-fixing and corruption scandal, but the courts have suspended it. But that won't be the end of the matter.

Yep.

Re: UEFA Champions League 2013-14

Yep.

How many more teams need to qualify and how many are there already. Both our sides Man Utd and Chelsea are there. Does Arsenal need to qualify.

Arsenal fans would be nervous.

If they don't qualify then that would take a big hit to their revenue as playing in the Champions League generates revenue for clubs.

Fenerbahce have been given permission to play while their match fixing charges are heard. Will be interesting if they win and then get banned
