It only seems like yesterday when images of John Terry crying his eyes out and Peter Kenyon collecting a champions league loser medal were beamed around the world. Now, it's Champions League time again and with four of the top seven teams in the market from the Prem, Sky Bet go 6/4 that an English team wins it.

It's 100-30 at Totesport for a Spanish Winner. 4/1 Italy (Hills), 14/1 Germany (Coral) and 14-1 for any other country Totesport.

Totesport go 10/11 there is NO English Winner. If you stuck £10.50 on that and eight quid on Sky Bet's 6/4 for a Prem winner you'd guarantee yourself a £20 return for every £18.50 outlay. That's a 7.5 per cent return on your dosh - better than any bank!

Other interesting bet's which you could easily be tempted by are the 5/1 Sky Bet are offering that all four English sides win their groups with Liverpool being my only worry, although I would say that being a United fan. PaddyPower offer 50/1 that all four english sides make the semi's which could be worth a dabble but it will require some luck that they avoid eachother in the draws.
