I know - it's fiendishly complex - a bit like that mind-bending conundrum of Crystal Palace being in the premiership and Watford, Leicester and Brighton NOT being in the premiership! :wink:

well - i would if you hadn't already declared yourself out of this conversation!!!

if they are qualifying and play-off rounds - then you are not yet in it as you have not qualified! 8)

much as Watford were not in the premier league because they entered via the play-off round.

But you said Arsenal were in the qualifying rounds, and now I find out they weren't, they were actually in the play-off round. And now they are in the group stages round and if they get through that (ha!) they'll be in the knock-out round. But these are all rounds in the Champions League. I want a stamp-my-foot emoticon *stamp* *stamp* *stamp*

if you get through the play-off round - then you qualify to be in the champions league. if you don't qualify for something - then you are not in it.

Arsenal ARE now in it - but they weren't until they had qualified.

Gareth bale and a whole host of chumps-league-hungry players are heading for arsenal as we type...
