Welcome to a new thing! It's called The Back Post, it'll happen every week (as long as I'm not on holiday, or in the pub, or something), and it'll serve as a place to splurge a load of updates and links to recap a week in the life of FIFA 10.
In this week's FIFA 10 podcast, which you can listen to here, Romily Broad and myself discussed the merits of European football's two biggest prizes and I was of the opinion that The Premier League is worth far more than the Champions League.
