Thanks, I don't think that was always the case, or maybe it was and I'm mixed up? Either way though, Dortmund looked really good. Sure Tottenham didn't field their top team, but they had some quality players out there and Dortmund just picked them apart and made it look easy.
yeah it's a new rule that the EL winner gets a CL berth, I think Sevilla were the first to benefit from it this year. UEFA implemented the rule in an attempt to make the EL more popular.

Reason: it was Sevilla, not Valencia
From a Bayern perspective Benfica are an easier draw than Juve, so thats positive and from a Liverpool perspective, if we can get past Dortmund we stand a really good chance of winning the EL.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
I was just talking to my boss yesterday about the upcoming draw and was hoping Real would draw Wolfsburg.
... of course now I'm sure the injury streak will continue, or Benzema will get arrested or something and we'll lose somehow.
Then Perez will buy 3 more attacking midfielders in the summer.
I think Bayern got the nicest draw. Benfica arent garbage or anything but they're definitely the weakest of those teams other than maybe City in their current run of form.

I wouldn't even know where to start with his obituary, he was such a massive figure in the sport.

Gary Neville has been sacked by Valencia after less than four months in charge, with former coach Pako Ayestaran taking charge until the end of the season.
Neville, 41, was appointed head coach of the La Liga club on Dec. 2 but failed to turn their season around.
In 16 games in charge of Valencia, Neville won just three games, drew five and lost eight. Los Che currently sit 14th in the table, six points above the relegation zone.
