absolutely tumultous weekend

Mayor's debate championship's over...now can mug w/o inhibition liao.but that morning i was too garang against the councillors...so much for being the most famous J1 who's more famous than the Council chairman.She had to end up restraining my super dry sarcasm against those who talk while i was speaking and muddling through with my crappy accent

For all the trouble though,the first MCV classes were suitably traumatized or enlightened...this includes a new Nexus where dai dee,bridge,pool...all those anaethema to the conservative teachers in AJC are legal and where teachers can only interfere if there's a brawl or hacking or even gross crimes for that matter...and the pandora's box which i shall not elaborate and better cheer support...on the pipeline for Yvonne is the Ultras who are the hardcore fans.and Miss S isn't one of them,finching away as i spoke

Saturday:balloons from 1-7.volunteer work sadly isn't the mainstay of AJCians,who end up mugging all the time.instead of making it seem as if it were a chore,they should encourage more service learning and slightly less classroom mugging.

Here are the fixtures this week...Serie A and Primera Liga included.now that's really full steam...
West Brom vs Birmingham-Birmingham to emerge 1-0
Villa vs Blackburn-1-1
Fulham vs Everton-Everton barely passes through at 2-1
Man C vs Portsmouth-draw 1-1 or Man C 1-0
Spurs vs Chelsea-WBA kena 4-0.Spurs should find it easy to cut this to Chelsea 2-0.should they score a goal they would be worshipped.that's highly unlikely
West Ham vs Bolton-Bolton might find it hard befpre easily winning 1-0
Wigan vs Sunderland-Sunderland seems better at 1-0 or 2-0.but I'd be thinking about a 0-0 draw

Boro vs Charlton-Boro 1-0 or 2-0
Newcastle vs Man U-Graeme Souness is almost always going to be sacked.the next thing,they fell to a 2-1 defeat and that might just be too much for the old chairman on the board

Marseille vs Ajaccio-more reinforcements,but i think they can only win 1-0
Nantes vs Metz-the Canaries are making waves now.bet them to win 2-1
PSG vs Nice-not quite a steamroller match,but PSG should at least get away with a 1-0 win
St Etienne vs Sochaux-draw 2-2
Strasbourg vs Bordeaux-Bordeaux 3-1 or something thereabouts
Le Mans vs Troyes-of both promoted sides,Troyes at 2-1 seem a better bet.but the safest is to go for a goalless draw
Nancy vs Rennes-a draw isn't likely,so Rennes should comfortably win this 2-0

Monaco vs Lens-Lens might pull off a 3-2 win,or at least get away from the Principality with a 1-1 draw
Auxerre vs Lyon-mostly a Les Gones win at 3-1

Hamburg vs Hanover-1-1
Cologne vs Kaiserslautern-Podolski should have scored by this time,but if not we don't care as they would draw 1-1 or 0-0
Schalke vs Gladbach-Schalke should find this easier than Fener,Milan or PSV.2-0 for the royal blues
Wolfsburg vs Leverkusen-draw or Leverkusen 1-0
Bayern vs Hertha-i don't think there will be a continuation of massive scorelines,but Bayern wins all the same.1-0
Frankfurt vs Nuremburg-draw at 0-0
Bremen vs Stuttgart-Werder is a slightly better proposition at 1-0

Arminia vs Mainz-1-1 again
Duisburg vs Dortmund-easy prey.3-1

Alaves vs Barcelona-tough for the newly promoted side.2-0 is normal for such a game
Valencia vs Betis-Betis might actually win this match,but 2-2 or 1-1 would be better
Athletic vs Sociedad-the Basque derby is a no contest this time.Athletic should find this quite tough but still chalk up a 2-1 win

Sevilla vs Racing-Sevilla's rebuilding programme is still on,but just depend on them to blast 2 past without reply
Celta vs Malaga-draw 1-1 or Malaga 1-0.a Celta 2-1 might be ok to some,but we prefer to play safe
Espanyol vs Getafe-both teams got sucked of talent.Espanyol seems the better or the two with 2-0
Mallorca vs Deportivo-1-1,2-1 or 0-1
Atletico vs Zaragoza-Atletico 2-1
Osasuna vs Villareal-some rather have a draw.I'd go for a Villareal 2-1
Cadiz vs Real Madrid-no contest at 3-0,unless Robinho was a fake

Reggina vs Roma-0-0 or 2-1 to the Giallorossi
Siena vs Cagliari-1-1
Ascoli vs AC Milan-Milan should get away with 3-0 or maybe less.if Ascoli scores it would be a miracle
Livorno vs Lecce-Lecce seems better at 2-1
Parma vs Palermo-whatever the case a draw at 1-1 would suffice
Juventus vs Chievo-2-0
Lazio vs Messina-2-2 2-1 or 1-2
Udinese vs Empoli-2-1 would be the best
Fiorentina vs Sampdoria-Samp might be a decent bet at 1-0
Inter Milan vs Treviso-2-0 would be the ideal one.same case applies as you would the AC Milan game

Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos-koping 1 player a year from your biggest rivals would make the match quite scary,particularly when it's the first game of the season.2-1 to the Legends

adults love surprises and kids love fairy tales.when we combine both together,we have something very exciting for the whole family...and one of them is soccer

Thun 3 Malmo 0(Thun 4-0)-small town team in the big time.you can squeeze 75% of the town in the stadium at Berne,but you just can't remove any spirit out of them.unfortunately though that doesn't apply to the Swedes
Partizan 0 Artmedia 0(aet 0-0.Artmedia 4-3 on penalties)-another fairy tale.after blasting Celtic down,the Gravediggers got a taste of their own Geordie medicine they concocted 2 years ago,and it is a knockout punch

Debrecen 0 Man U 3(Man U 6-0)-Neville hobbled out after 13 mins,but it was Heinze's show that night as he netted 2
Liverpool 0 CSKA Sofia 1(Liverpool 3-2)-they don't have Gerrard.but they don't care if they lost or not.so as long they don't fire 3 past that's it.now it's back to worrying about EPL
Villarreal 2 Everton 1(Villareal 4-2)-Everton still have a long way to go before they can go in the big time

Rangers 2 Anorthosis 0(Rangers 4-1)-by then they are hanging Union Jacks at Ibrox and are videotaping anti-Celtic crap from the terraces.but they can't use it this year except at Old Firm matches.they still have a Hearts and Aberdeen problem to tackle back home
Monaco 2 Betis 2(Betis 3-2)-Monaco seemed to have gone through...but in the end Ricardo Oliveira just snuffed them out
Udinese 3 Sporting 2(Udinese 4-2)-another fairytale story.slightly cliche plot means that Udinese are also turned into noobies for this year
Inter 1 Shakhtar 1(Inter 3-1)-they switched off after the second half.without a crowd to energize them,they just kept the score.yawn
Bremen 3 Basel 0(Bremen 4-2)-sometimes,casting someone out in a rage may have disastrous consequences.esp just a few hour before you get eliminated
Ajax 3 Brondby 1(Ajax 5-3)-phew...they were thinking
Slavia 0 Anderlecht 2(Anderlecht 4-1)-5th time unlucky
Lokomotiv Moscow 0 Rapid 1(Rapid 2-1)-unfortunately,dominating for large parts of the game doesn't guarantee a win,as the Railwaymen learnt the hard way
Rosenborg 3 Steaua 2(Rosenborg 4-3)-they were lucky.whether they could squeeze into intertoto remains to be seen.but now it's still back to the big time
Club Brugge 1 Valerenga 0(aet 1-1.Brugge 4-3 on penalties)-evenly matched.so they have to use something very cruel called Penalty Shootout to throw one out.and happily for Rosenborg(in the short term),their rivals drew the short straw

Lens 3 Cluj 1-had they been warned about Auxerre's 7-0 drubbing,they would have at least reduced it into 2-1
Marseille 5 Deportivo 1-last minute comeback saves Marseille
Valencia 0 Hamburg 0-Valencia's shambles year continues

It's battlefield football this week

EPL

Man U vs Villa-not much difficulty.a 2-1 at least seems ok,but i'd rather have 2-0
Blackburn vs Fulham-1-1 at most
Charlton vs Wigan-though many think it's a Charlton 2-0,i think Wigan will make it 0-1 in their favour if not 1-0
Liverpool vs Sunderland-game over.a 3-1 rout would be more or less likely
Newcastle vs West Ham-If Graeme Souness can't even win the Hammers,he can consider quitting.should that be so,the Hammers should get away with 1-1 or 0-1 given Newcastle are missing Emre
Spurs vs Boro-last time they met I'd dare say they would fight to a draw.but this time,Spurs should come out slightly tops at 2-1
West Brom vs Portsmouth-under no circumstances should a win for any side be wagered on
Birmingham vs Man C-1-1 at most,too

Bolton vs Everton-Bolton 2-2 or 1-0
Chelsea vs Arsenil-Chelsea 2-0

(Special Midweek Games)
Portsmouth vs Villa-draw at 2-2
Sunderland vs Man C-Man C should chalk up a win at 1-0
Birmingham vs Boro-1-1 or 0-1

Chelsea vs West Brom-any more 1-0 against minnows and the newspapers would be up in arms.but i don't think West Brom would offer such resistance.put Chelsea to win 2-0
Arsenil vs Fulham-no comment
Bolton vs Newcastle-2-1
Blackburn vs Spurs-Spurs at 3-1 or 2-1

Ligue 1

Bordeaux vs Monaco-against a Monaco blowing hot and cold,a 1-1 draw is the best result
Lens vs Auxerre-1-0 or something in that region
Metz vs Strasbourg-2-2,0-0 or 1-2
Nice vs Nantes-Nantes will get the better of the two.bet that at 2-1
Rennes vs Marseille-it seems like the Bretons aren't going to clean up their act soon,not against a revived Marseille.0-2 should be enough
Sochaux vs Lille-Lille has the slight edge,so they may win 2-1
Lyon vs Nancy-if 1 goal a game Carew scores again,i think that would be 3-0.if not it'd still be 2-0
Ajaccio vs Le Mans-Noobies to find it hard on the Islands.2-1 or 2-0

Toulouse vs St Etienne-2-2 is the plausible result i could imagine
Troyes vs PSG-no stopping PSG at 0-2

Bundesliga

none this week

Old Firm

Celtic vs Rangers-jackpot.who cares about Artmedia or Anorthosis.Celtic might win this at 2-1,but we may never know what's the real result

Jose Luis Fabiano at 8/20/2005 09:52:00 AM

Wigan 0 Chelsea 1(Crespo:90+3)
you won't believe how Wigan got away with only a slight loss.bookies thought they're losing 3-0 or 4-0,but the fighting spirit of Wigan may hold on to help them survive the long hard Premiership

Mainz 0 Bremen 2(Klasnic:21,Klose:62)
The usual suspects again.coping pretty after the loss of Ismael to Bayern

Stuttgart 2(Streller:58,Tiffert:69) Cologne 3(Feulner:9,Streit:47,55)
Podolski isn't scoring,but as the captain he makes far more contributions,such as an assist that made the score 0-2

Marseille 1(Taiwo:6) Lyon 1(Carew:35)
As Aulas is looking at the prospect of a record transfer of Essien to Chelsea,he's happy that he found someone as good as him,minus all the Robinho-esque antics

Strasbourg 1(Le Pen 90+?) Monaco 2(Squillaci:48,Chevanton:79)
this is classy.had they been that good against Betis they would have been sleeping well

Jose Luis Fabiano at 8/15/2005 05:57:00 PM

New Zealand 30 Australia 13
(NZ=PK-Carter:15,44,51;T+C-Weepu & Carter:28,McCaw & Carter:67,Rokocoko & McAlister:74)
(Australia=PK-Giteau:2,8;T+C-Mitchell & Giteau:12)

this is the moment 75% of the soccer fans in the world have been waiting for...after sustaining for 2 weeks with French and German football The Dugout Times is back with dollops of Premier League football.the Spanish and Italians are coming soon,but who cares if you've 30 games to cover within a week and more to go within the next few weeks

a promise though,the DT would be putting up selected games from other leagues.this is an exclusive in Singapore.look out for it...hidden under the regular repertoire

EPL

Everton vs Man U-season opener to end with a 1-1 draw or 0-1 win
Fulham vs Birmingham-for 2 evenly matched teams with slightly more firepower than a mid table team,a 1-1 draw is more or less certain
Man C vs WBA-Man C to start the year with a bang
Portsmouth vs Spurs-new look Spurs congested in midfield should find this a little difficult,but not enough to lose by more than 1
Sunderland vs Charlton-Charlton should find this one hard too,but they wouldn't fall easy prey to the black cats
Villa vs Bolton-bolton's clout in the transfer market should pay off with rich dividends at 1-2
West Ham vs Blackburn-Blackburn should win this 1-0 so that they wouldn't be branded as cowards
Boro vs Pool-looks like a foregone conclusion.but it's extremely tricky to predict.I'll go for a 1-0 Pool win

Arsenil vs Newcastle-Vieira less goners vs Magpies wrecked by Souness.they can't stop Chelsea
Wigan vs Chelsea-only fools bet Wigan win or a 4-0 Chelsea thrashing.the most cleverest is a 3-1 or 2-0 win for the visitors

Ligue 1

PSG vs Toulouse-the Parisians are the team to beat at the moment.unfortunately they would still be winning 2-1
St Etienne vs Metz-1-1 draw at least,or a hosts win at 2-1
Nancy vs Lens-Lens to find this easier than Marseille.0-2 seems very likely
Auxerre vs Bordeaux-Bordeaux 2-1
Le Mans vs Rennes-Rennes should get their season going at 2-1
Lille vs Troyes-way too strong Lillois go goal-crazy.bet to win 3-0,3-1 or 2-1
Nantes vs Ajaccio-Les Canaris too,are the team to beat,but they would find the Corsicans less easy.1-0,2-2 or 2-1 is more or less decent
Nice vs Sochaux-Nicely done up at 2-1

Strasbourg vs Monaco-Monaco might have better luck in the Alsace.bet them to grind out a 1-0 win
Marseille vs Lyon-the only time the Marseillais can hope for a draw is when Carew is suspended or injured.since he's in great form at the moment,Lyon should find this okay at 2-1 or 1-0

Bundesliga

Hertha Berlin vs Frankfurt-1-1 or 2-1
Leverkusen vs Bayern-the big match of the week.Bayern finds this easier at 2-1
M'Gladbach vs Wolfsburg-2-2 if both sides are almost similar in strength
Dortmund vs Schalke-Schalke would find it hard at first but still garner a 2-2 draw or 2-1 win
Kaiserslautern vs Duisburg-1-0
Arminia vs Hamburg-1-1 or 0-1
Nuremburg vs Hanover-1-1

Stuttgart vs Cologne-Podolski has no solution against Stuttgart.1-0 is more likely
Mainz vs Bremen-Bremen should find this easier prey at 2-0

The Champions League is for a few outsiders to shine among the heavyweights.keep on that spirit...

Malmo 0 Thun 1-first time lucky Thun?we are very sure they would get their wish
Brondby 2 Ajax 2-awful own goal
Artmedia 0 Partizan 0-for Celtic slayer Slovakians,they might very well hope they don't fall at Belgrade
Anderlecht 2 Slavia Prague 1-news trickled in that Sparta have bought 2 more new players.looks like it's even more group stages for Sparta as the sole Czech representative
Basel 2 Bremen 1-heng sial...
Rapid Wien 1 Loko Moskva 1-Loko should win this comfortably in Moscow
Shakhtar 0 Inter 2-Adriano vs Shakhtar.this time they could boast over their AC Milan rivals how they tamed tough Ukrainian opposition so easily.but they might have to make do with an empty San Siro though
Steaua 1 Rosenborg 1-taiko Rosenborg hopes to get through.They better Start winning as many games as possible,including Champs League,so that they don't make themselves look shameful by this winter if Start really wins the Tippeligaen
Sporting 0 Udinese 1-another outsider in the making.but not soobvious this time
CSKA Sofia 1 Liverpool 3-as Rafa's warriors roll through Sofia,they are all but through.barring some catastrophic loss at Anfield.But since CSKA aren't likely to score 3 at least...or 4 if Pool scores,rest assured for all Reds fans that they will get to defend their title like all champions should

Champions League just got more exciting...

Man U 3 Debrecen 0-Rooney.Rooy.Ronaldo.Red.Rout
Everton 1 Villareal 2-a first trip after 10 years back into the big time ended sordidly by Lucho
Wisla 3 Panathinaikos 1-Here's a warning about East Europe.never try to fluff any shots at goal.chances are they will tear up continential teams.only east europeans are tougher
Anorthosis 1 Rangers 2-they would have loved to shit about Celtic and what happened at Bratislava.and they did
Valerenga 1 Club Brugge 0-they were expecting the day when they can say they are really better than Rosenborg.and it seems like it's 50% likely.it doesn't matter if one of their chums are now in jail for some speeding offence
Betis 1 Monaco 0-fluffy match tempered by a Luis Edu goal that hit very hard at Monaco

there are fortunate people who have their other half book half a cafe for their honeymoon month together,and then got showered with lots of expensive gifts.in AJC this would be viewed as showy by the conservatives,and there would be lots of gossip,particularly if the other half hails from some top jc out there

and then there are unfortunate ones who have to live in the shadow of gossip constantly,where even an innocous trip to the movies with a member of the opposite sex are trumped up by opportunistic gossipers in AJC into a scandal of monolithic proportions.same circumstances apply,only in a even worse off way

unfortunately though,this is a sure-fire way to get embroiled in a massive scandal in AJC

Hey Miss S

It's been good being your friend for 4 months,and this simple and elegant testimonial speaks for itself as a testimonial to your inner and outer beauty

Thanks for being so nice to me,as you do to your other friends,and for taking time to reply my daily SMSes and listening to whatever crap I've to talk about every day

Friends forever

note that i intentionally wanted to diss miss S and duplicitous bimbos from that particular place
.

whatever the case i just watched charlie and the choc factory yesterday...whee it's so corny...but i'd prefer napola though...with the dollops of violence evident...muahaha...kinda have an enjoyable time with my gd fren out at PS/Cine...whee it's my first time when i'm out so late...too bad zouk's closing...or i'll be able to stay there until 3am after my A levels next year

mean while it's back to mugging

we can't wait for the saturday tri nations and the chelski vs arsenil community shield later.so let's go on to more French and German action

Sochaux 0 PSG 1(Cisse:51)
looks smooth.but the home side did pose a few problems,although they were reduced to duds in the end.looks great for the Parisians

Metz 0 Le Mans 0
yawn...so blank

Troyes 0 St Etienne 0
it was definitely boring,but Troyes are making some kind of headway presently.i hope the draws thingy is a short term measure

Bordeaux 1 (Chamakh:4) Nancy 0
very brave.but in the end there were no contest between noobies and old hands

Lens 2(S.Keita:37,Hilton:60) Maresille 0
badly depleted Marseillais lost against buoyant Northerners.but at least they had Intertoto to numb themselves

Monaco 0 Auxerre 2(Violeau 26,Pieroni:77)
Evra got sent off,as 1 red a game Monegasques flop.Let's hope Betis doesn't humiliate them to the same degree

Toulouse 0 Nice 2(Kone:17,Traore:30)
none of the last season trouble as they fire on all cylinders nowadays

Ajaccio 3(Rocchi:12,Lucas:28,Saifi:66) Lille 3(Makoun:19,Gygax:39,Debuchy:90+2)
it's Cat and Dogue,as Lille nearly lost after chasing the Islanders around.Count them lucky

By then Essien is now doing a Robinho.let's go to Germany instead,where the stuff's better

Werder Bremen 5(Klose:1,81,Klasnic:19,84,Baumann:36) Arminia 2(Krupnikovic:12,Zuma:30)
from what you see,it's all too good for the green-and-Orange.to all Basel fans:you've been warned

Hamburg 3(E.Mpenza:3,Barbarez:30,60) Nuremburg 0
looking good,as the hamburgers tore up their opponents

Duisburg 1(Ahanfouf:31) Stuttgart 1(Cacau:5)
to cap off a disappointing afternoon,Cacau the goalscorer got an early shower in the second half

Cologne 1(Schlicke:87) Mainz 0
there's none of Podolski's one man show.but there's sure lots of emotion as the Cologne team earns a fine return to the big time

Wolfsburg 2(Kilmowicz:9,Hofland:82) Dortmund 2(Smolarek:55,Koller:81)
neck to neck duel only tempered by the late goals

Hanover 2(Dabrowski:66,Tarnat:87) Hertha 2(Marcelinho:49,Wichniarek:54)
just how the heck could the Berliners blow away a 2 goal lead remains to be investigated

Bundesliga starts...in a very rousing fashion yeaterday

Bayern 3(Hargreaves:28;Makaay:86,89) Monchengladbach 0
Gladbach rolls into the Allianz Arena,and becomes the first sacrificial lamb in the Arena.If Hargreaves strike isn't potent enough,Makaay is too strong,especially with a late brace.anyway everybody except Ismael had an unforgettable first game of the season,beacuse the latter got 2 yellows on his Bayern debut

LATEST

South Africa 22 All Blacks 16
(SA:P:Montgomery 2,37,48,53 T+C:de Villiers 9-10 D:Pretorius 8=NZ:P:Carter 14,27,73 T+C:Carter 21)
suddenly,the All Blacks got dragged back to earth.In south Africa,there's no favour shown.cause (quoting from City of God) in South Africa,fight and you'll never survive,run and you'll never escape.like they did against the British Lions,they got a taste of their own medicine

awesome shit:Phil Neville switches to Everton.and Figo has decided to flee to Inter Milan

but who cares...not when we have dollops of soccer action between both sides of the Rhine,plus Switzerland as well

Ligue 1

06/08

Lens vs Marseille-Marseille to get the better of the Northerners at 2-1,particularly after a spending spree and with both teams romping over tough opponents like Wolfsburg(Lens 4-0) and Lazio(OM 3-0) in just now's Intertoto Cup,it might be a close call
Metz vs Le Mans-too bad for the noobies.a 2-0 is on the cards,including a penalty and with no major injury worries for the Alsatians,they could open their account soon
Monaco vs Auxerre-against a depleted Auxerre,the departure of another star player to Rangers doesn't matter much as they would grind out a 1-0 win
Sochaux vs PSG-with a rampant PSG,expect 2-1 or 3-1(that's just a conservative estimate)
Toulouse vs Nice-draw at 1-1 seems likely given both teams are evenly matched up
Troyes vs St Etienne-it wouldn't be a maiden win anytime soon as Les Verts will have them suitably beaten at 2-0
Ajaccio vs Lille-beware a booby-trapped Corsica.Lille 1-0 or Ajaccio 1-1 seems more logical

07/08

Rennes vs Nantes-Westside story.Nantes to get away at 1-1 or Rennes win 1-0
Lyon vs Strasbourg-with John Carew in fine form,2-1 is just too cheap on the guests.but that's the only rational result i could think of

Bundesliga

05/08

Bayern vs Moenchengbladbach-with Ballack's fate undecided,they would want to make an impression on the rest of the challengers by beating their guests 3-1

06/08

Hamburg vs Nuremburg-Nuremburg to draw or win.but they would never score more than 1 goal
Cologne vs Mainz-Podolski's one man show might actually work,particularly if the result is 1-0 or 2-1
Duisburg vs Stuttgart-doomed noobies at 1-3
Wolfsburg vs Dortmund-out of sorts Wolfsburg might more or less fall to the resurgent Dortmunders 2-1 or 2-0
Hanover vs Hertha Berlin-1-1 draw seems likely
Bremen vs Arminia-the 3-1 result expected would leave Bielefeld gasping for their breath

07/08

Schalke vs Kaiserslautern-Schalke might actually draw,but other than that,a predictable 2-1 win are on the cards
Frankfurt vs Leverkusen-back in the big time,a stiff test against Leverkusen would end in failure with the latter winning 3-0 or 2-0

Jose Luis Fabiano at 8/05/2005 12:37:00 PM

more champions league qualifiers.be braced for some surprises.this includes some big names which crashed back to earth like the Air France flight in Toronto

Haka 1 Valerenga 4-Tore up by Flo.next stop:brugge
Haifa 2 Malmo 2-a last gasp goal or it's trouble from the 2 goals come true
Neftchi 1 Anderlecht 0-i don't give a damn.whatever the case,the should have won 3-0 but it's now Prague for the Wallonians
Trabzonspor 1 Anorthosis 0-Fatih Tekke can't save the Clarets,whatever his ability
Lokomotiv 2 Rabotnicki 0-Rapid-Loko duel
Rapid 3 Dudelange 2-not so easy win
Thun 1 Dynamo Kiev 0-S-thun-ned,crash and burn
Brondby 3 D.Tiblisi 1-Ajax next
H.Split 0 Debrecen 5-For the Hungarians:Welcome to Old Trafford.and i think the Red Devils would thrash them there if i'm not wrong
Steaua 4 Shelbourne 1-the Romanians had 9 men left and still won.let's see what would happen to Rosenborg.would they end up having 8 men and still win?
Sheriff 0 Partizan 1-ok lor
CSKA Sofia 2 Tirana 0-A money spinning fixture with Liverpool is on the cards

Jose Luis Fabiano at 8/04/2005 10:58:00 AM

Wednesday, August 03, 2005

Liverpool 2 Kaunas 0-they bloodied the Lithuanians.now for the Bulgarians,if i'm not wrong
Celtic 4 Artmedia 0-it alomost ended up as a fairy tale,if not for the fact that that one goal was missing

Jose Luis Fabiano at 8/03/2005 08:09:00 PM

Monday, August 01, 2005

We couldn't have asked for a more rousing start than last week

Lille 1(Makoun 37) Rennes 0
could have drawn if not for Frei missing many shots at goal.

Marseille 0 Bordeaux 2(Faubert 16,Ducasse 87)
the intertoto semifinalists were thoroughly beaten.this includes a Dehu dismissal after half time.

Strasbourg 0 Auxerre 0
2 red cards this time.and a goalless draw might show how little firepower both sides left

Nice 1(Vahirua 34) Troyes 1(Dallet 51)
best performance so far by a noobie.

St Etienne 0 Ajaccio 0
kinda boring by all means..more of a liability against PSG and Lyon

Nancy 0 Monaco 1(Kapo 69)
2 red cards at home and an away goal.monaco looks good at the moment

Nantes 2(Yapi 4,Glombard 8) Lens 0
it's flying high for the canaries,judging from the 2 early attacks as they floored the intertoto semifinalists

Sochaux 0 Toulouse 1(F.Santos 14)
uh oh.they might have sold the wrong kind of stuff.but whatever

Le Mans 1(de Melo 56) Lyon 2(Wiltord 36,Carew 58)
a tough fight from the newly promoted side,but the Les Gones had other plans.Had the home side watched how Carew blasted 3 past Auxerre last week,they would need to be even more careful against PSG
