stupid Arsenil blasts Reading down while Villa got blasted by a division 3 team even with all their best players...what a letdown.Singapore U23 lions too,they should have bashed their heads against the wall and ponder what's wrong.or so does many people think.since the U23 has so little experience and it's hard bring noobies to battle,spare a thought for them can?but I love the Singapore Gymnasts...wheeeee
so how,it's a typical Euro week once again,not when there's even more UEFA Cup footy to go down with.since it's held over 2 days,at least here's a bit of leeway,so let's go!
Slavia Prague-Monaco-i wish the Monegasques change back to their diagonal red and white stripes.they seem to have better luck with that.but they should have no problems in their gold away strip whatsoever
CSKA Sofia-Viking FK-the UEFA Cup featured at least a blind bet(since I dunno their form,just strictly guessing) since Matchday 1.CSKA should win 1-0
Lokomotiv Moscow-Maccabi Petach Tikva-2-0 or a comfortable enough score
Brondby-Espanyol-sub-zero temperatures,plus insistent showers,would render any predictions other than a home win useless.the extent of which they win would be restricted to 1 goal
Sampdoria-Hertha Berlin-do or die,after the humiliating defeat against Cagliari.a draw would not help much this time.
Steaua-Halmstads-no hope Swedes are more or less dead.expect Steaua to win 3-0 and up
Grasshoppers Zurich-Dnipro-forget about Dnipro.2-0 is very likely
Litex Lovech-AZ Alkmaar-conditions in East Europe can be scary at times,but not if Alkmaar is involved.a draw would be the most likely outcome,1-1 or 2-2
Red Star Belgrade-Roma-Roma 1-0.that's the barest minimum.any more,then it will mean they have to negotiate the war zone
Basel-Tromso-Basel 2-1 should do the job nicely
Dinamo Bucharest-CSKA Moscow-this is really a no-brainer.the Army Men should win 3-1
Levski Sofia-Marseille-if Auxerre's lethal shot in Sofia would give anything to think about,1-0 to Marseille should do well,disregarding the fact that Levski are quite strong at home,of which I'd be tempted to put Levski 1-0
Rennes-Shakhtar Donetsk-I think Rennes won't win this crucial match.neither would they score
Rapid Bucharest-PAOK Salonica-PAOK is mostly dead meat
Sevilla-Vitoria Guimaraes-Sevilla should do well there
Besiktas-Zenit SP-Welcome to Hell...or so they thought.If Besiktas doesn't win 1-0,at least a draw would do fine for Zenit

George Best,1946-2005
It is with the greatest sadness that the Dugout Times have to report the loss of one of the greatest footballers in the world,the most talented of players even better than most of today's players.had he played in the world cup and not been so heavy an alcoholic,he would have surpassed even Ferenc Puskas and Alfredo di Stefano.the Dugout Times extends its greatest condolences to the family of George Best and Manchester United
yeah at the other end of the channel here's a score
Le Mans 0 Auxerre 2-whatever the case the newly promoted side is way too strong for the Auxerrois
oh before I forget,here's the match of the week,and it's some big time fixture
27-11:Ali Sami Yen
Welcome to Hell and this is big.we're talking about Galatasaray vs Fenerfarce.hahaha!having Hakan Sukur back from injury is a welcome boost,though mr Gerets would be wondering what to do with Ilic and Heinz.Fenerfarce meanwhile welcome back the other 3 Brazilians whom they sorely missed during the 4-0 Milan drubbing.since it's in the Red Hell,this works in the favour of Gala.
prediction:Gala must win this one and i think they will do so in some style.2-0 or 2-1
back at Belgium though,here's Standard Liege vs Anderlecht.not that they want to cut the 2 point gap back at the top,but Liege is in somewhat fine form nowadays and there's infighting after 5 losses and a joker 11 game losing streak in the champs league.it's full energy for anderlecht while standard are somewhat decimated by suspensions
prediction:this might be quite tricky.a variety of choices is thus offered in standard fashion.a)Standard 2-1,b)Anderlecht 1-0.c)draw 3-3.I'd go for a draw,but not so high a score

Man City-Liverpool-Pool win streak continues
Sunderland-Birmingham-no hope for Sunderland
Wigan-Spurs-I might fancy a Wigan 1-0,but a draw seems better

Boro-West Brom-Boro looks too strong.total goals 3 or 4

Sochaux-Rennes-1-1 or any draw.they seem evenly matched

Mallorca-Athletic-condemn the Basques to hell

Deportivo-Villareal-Depor 2-1 or Villareal 2-1.this time who scores last will win(duh...it means the winning goal lah)

big timers galore
Fenerfarce 0 Shevchenko 4-actually it should be Fenerbahce 0 Milan 4,but since it's a Shev 1 man show,it's logical enough to give such a scoreline
Schalke 3 PSV 0-at the same yime there's another one man show,only the person scored 3
Real Madrid 1 Lyon 1-the Madridistas seem to be very unlucky nowadays,and i think it's time for a fortune teller
Rosenborg 1 Olympiacos 1-it's counted as a good result for both teams since Olympiacos is terrible away
Liverpool 0 Betis 0-yawn?it doesn't matter anyway,cause you'll never walk alone
Anderlecht 0 Chelsea 2-to win you have to quickly pounce in the kill.hence chelsea could easily condemn the mauves to a straight 11th loss in the champs league
Porto 1 Rangers 1-had Rangers not scored,they would have regretted going the way of Celtic
Inter Milan 4 Artmedia 0-Adriano is back,and anyone foolhardy enough to try and stop him is gone case
Fenerfarce 0 Shevchenko 4-actually it should be Fenerbahce 0 Milan 4,but since it's a Shev 1 man show,it's logical enough to give such a scoreline
Schalke 3 PSV 0-at the same yime there's another one man show,only the person scored 3
Real Madrid 1 Lyon 1-the Madridistas seem to be very unlucky nowadays,and i think it's time for a fortune teller
Rosenborg 1 Olympiacos 1-it's counted as a good result for both teams since Olympiacos is terrible away
Liverpool 0 Betis 0-yawn?it doesn't matter anyway,cause you'll never walk alone
Anderlecht 0 Chelsea 2-to win you have to quickly pounce in the kill.hence chelsea could easily condemn the mauves to a straight 11th loss in the champs league
Porto 1 Rangers 1-had Rangers not scored,they would have regretted going the way of Celtic
Inter Milan 4 Artmedia 0-Adriano is back,and anyone foolhardy enough to try and stop him is gone case

here's the champs league scores,and sometimes things follow a goofy pattern
Man U 0 Villareal 0
Lille 0 Benfica 0
sounds so amusing that everyone stands a chance of being eliminated,but Man U will suffer from the most loss of face if they ever did get out of the champs league(thrid included)
Bayern 4 Rapid Vienna 0-just blast the hell out of some weak opponent and don't care...then a big one comes out(not as big as Juve,though)
Juventus 1 Club Brugge 0-I rarely get exact hits in the Champs League,but count on them to give the stuff
Ajax 2 Sparta 1-game over for Griga as well
Thun 0 Arsenil 1-we salute our heroes even if they lose.but even if they win the nil gang merely wormed their way through.no cause for any celebration
Barcelona 3 Bremen 1-no etoo,but ronaldinho still have the goods
Panathinaikos 1 Udinese 2-comeback kings
Man U 0 Villareal 0
Lille 0 Benfica 0

oh yeah I won't be here to update for this week,but it's gonna be action packed this week,but injury updates showed that Raul will be out until january,oh unlucky luxemburgo
Juventus-Club Brugge-dead meat for Brugge,but for the fact that it's a European fixture,their winning margin will be restricted to 1
Bayern-Rapid Vienna-Bayern should find this easier,particularly at home,but it's not so easy scoring 3 this time round
Thun-Arsenil-this is a massive risk,so it's 1-0 to Thun.hope nothing untoward happens
Ajax-Sparta-Ajax 2-0 at least.maximum goals 3
Barcelona-Bremen-it's a straight Barca win.just that the scorers will not be known until after the game
Panathinaikos-Udinese-Udinese might as well consider just a UEFA Cup slot if playing 2 big ones are concerned
Lille-Benfica-the Stade de France mentality again.1-0 again
Man U-Villareal-1-0 and I think Rooy will score
Schalke-PSV-since Schalke are so good at home,i think to risk a draw is not quite logical
Fenerfarce-Milan-Milan might want to win this one,and they can.if they can get out unscathed from hell
Rosenborg-Olympiacos-a rare win for Rosenborg to boot
Real Madrid-Lyon-for Lyon to visit at crisis time is no laughing matter.a draw would suffice,though
Liverpool-Betis-Liverpool runs all over Betis
Anderlecht-Chelsea-the unglam record of 11 straight losses still stands
Inter-Artmedia-the Slovaks aren't so good away,they usually play for draws.Inter would gladly snuff them out by 1-0 ,though
Porto-Rangers-Porto must win and will win this one
Loko Moscow-Brondby-2-1 at least(might even be a thrashing if the cold is so extreme)
Viking-Slavia-the Czechs got frozen out
Monaco-Hamburg-van der Vaart scores again,and it might even be a win.i'm banking on that
Espanyol-Palermo-Palermo win 2-1
Hertha Berlin-Lens-Lens 1-0 or draw
Halmstads-Sampdoria-Samp is too much for the Swedes,even if they risk getting frozen out of the slots as well
AZ-Boro-2-1 to...Boro(newspapers say),i think it's 2-1 to...AZ.see who wins
Dnipro-Litex Lovech-1-1 draw(this is a blind bet)
Tromso-Red Star Belgrade-Red Star should at least draw away
Roma-Strasbourg-Strasbourg seem unusually powerful in the UEFA cup,but i'm not risking an arm and a leg for a Roma loss
CSKA Moscow-Levski Sofia-CSKA should break their hoodoo by then,especially with Levski getting increasingly frozen during training
Marseille-Hereenveen-Marseille are so inconsistent,i might be tempted to put a draw.maybe yeah,can lor
PAOK-Stuttgart-Stuttgart escapes with a late goal
Shakhtar-Rapid Bucharest-I'm putting the miners to win
Vitoria Guimaraes-Bolton-Bolton will scrape through
Zenit-Sevilla-they might end up saying Betis is easier than these Russians.and they are correct,to a large extent(FYI,the weather in St Petersburg is -1 celsius for today.If water can freeze at around that temperature,Sevilla are more or less going down 2-1)
Juventus-Club Brugge-dead meat for Brugge,but for the fact that it's a European fixture,their winning margin will be restricted to 1

37 minutes has elapsed and here's the score for the afternoon game playing now on ESPN
Wigan 1 Arsenil 2-this doesn't sound as catastrophic as it seems,though it is uncharacteristic of the Latics to concede one early,and that's clearly a risk given a team like the Nil Gang,unless of course they fluff all their goal chances
by then at Glasgow time 1230h(2030 by the way and still shopping) the Celtic-Rangers super Old Firm has kicked off and here's the lineups according to the celticfc.net site
Celtic(4-4-2)
Boruc;Telfer,Balde,McManus,M.Camara;Nakamura,S.Petrov,N.Lennon,McGeady;Maloney,Hartson
(Subs:Marshall;Virgo,Lawson,Varga,Wallace,Agathe,A.Thompson)
Rangers
Waterreus;Hutton,M.Andrews,Kyrgiakos,Murray;Ricksen,Hemdani,B.Ferguson,Namouchi;Prso,Jeffers
(Subs:Klos;A.Rae,Lovenkrands,Pierre-Fanfan,Burke,McCormack,Thompson)
from rangers.co.uk,half time score:John Hartson scored in the 11th min to make it 1-0.second half starting in a moment's time.catch you later and we'll see if those so called fenian b******s will show that they play better ball!
p.s:i hope cho chang isn't a rangers fan.celtic rox

as George Best ends up in the intensive ward,here's the no 1 news all Man U fans through out the world won't want to hear at all :'(
from manutd.com
Manchester United have reached an agreement with Roy Keane which allows him to leave the Club with immediate effect.
The agreement enables Keane to sign a long-term deal with another club and secure his playing career beyond what would have been the end of his contract at United in the summer.
The Club has offered Roy a testimonial in recognition of his 12½ years at Old Trafford and thanks Roy for his major contribution to the Club during his years of service.
"It has been a great honour and privilege for me to play for Manchester United for over 12 years," said Keane in a statement."During my time at the Club I have been fortunate to play alongside some of the best players in the game and in front of the best supporters in the world. At all times I have endeavoured to do my best for the management and the team."Whilst it is a sad day for me to leave such a great Club and Manager I believe that the time has now come for me to move on. "After so many years, I will miss everyone at the Club. I send my best wishes for the future to the management, players, staff and supporters of the Club,” he added.United boss Sir Alex Ferguson described Keane as the best midfielder of his generation.
Roy has been a fantastic servant for Manchester United," said Sir Alex. "The best midfield player in the world of his generation, he is already one of the great figures in our Club’s illustrious history. "Roy has been central to the success of the Club in the last 12 ½ years and everyone at Old Trafford wishes him well in the rest of his career and beyond.”
Chief Executive David Gill added: "Roy has been a towering figure at the Club for over a decade. His dedication, talent and leadership have been qualities that have marked him out as one of the true greats. "On behalf of everyone at the Club, we wish him every success in his future career."
Communications Office,Manchester United Limited
the Glazer buy out is bad enough,but this is worthy of a funeral.having to learn to play without him is bad enough,what about those youngsters?maybe he shouldn't whack them like no one's business,or maybe he sacrificed himself one last time to knock the youngsters back to their senses.we'd remember black friday 18/11/05

This is a bumper issue this week because of 3 mad head to heads happening within the space of 24h...here's introducing to you the star attractions for this week
Celtic Park,Glasgow and Pittodrie,Aberdeen
(Celtic vs Rangers) vs (Aberdeen vs Hearts)
It's time for the old firm rumble AGAIN(considering they had the misfortune to go head to head last week).whatever the case both teams need to get their act right before Hearts continue to an 'unassailable' lead.the Jambos meanwhile have their own problems to solve,having to go to Aberdeen 1 day later and mindful that the Dons would gift their lead to Celtic in event of anything other than a win,and city rivals Hibs may be looking over their heads
Unfortunately though,the Gers and the Dons are also in desperate situations of their own.4th and 7th respectively,both have been unimpressive.particularly by rangers' high quality service,and it doesn't look any better for the Gers having French defenders Oliver Bernard and Julien Rodriguez out(latest news) and bogged down by champs league(drawing against Artmedia twice is a very bad move,and they have only a win against Porto to account for).Adding to the injury list are Buffel,Novo and Nieto,though Gavin Rae and Hemdani is available after a long time out
Celtic though are hitting a good patch of form,and fans didn't even need to mind going out against Artmedia that 27/07 night because Rangers are more important.in fact there aren't any major injury concerns,
Prediction:1-0 to Celtic,or 2-1 if Rangers score.I don't think the draw probability is high,but if I have to put any draw results,1-1 or 2-2.it's one hell of a powder keg.Hearts might as well deal with Aberdeen (and Celtic should they draw) once and for all so I'm putting 2-1 to Hearts
Madrid(1am singapore time)
(Real Madrid vs Barcelona) vs (Getafe vs Osasuna) vs (Sevilla vs Betis)
It's time to rumble again.of course the WC playoffs might have taken a toll on the Spanairds such as Raul and Puyol,but theoretically Barcelona has the upper hand.having Etoo,Ronaldino and co to whack Getafe 2 weeks back means that trouble is really brewing in Madrid,and the Uruguayans in Madrid(Barca counting their lucky stars now) having jet lag to worry too(so Luxemburgo would most likely stick with Robinho)
What about Getafe?they are also a bunch of off form desperadoes.now they have to look for a win to make sure they don't get humiliated.unfortunately though Osasuna might make it 4 in a row,discounting their not so impressive away form.down in the rainy south,there's the Sevillan storm to complement el Clasico.With Betis grossly off form at the moment and missing everyone but Joaquin,and their city rivals bobbing up and down,everyone's desperate for a win to go to Europe(at least for Sevilla)
Prediction:many pundits would put a Barcelona win.if i'm swayed(I'm a Madridista) I'd go for a 2-1 Barca with a 1-1 draw at half time.given that illegal Asian bookies would put flat ball(while SPools would grudgingly give Madrid a 1.5goal headstart),Madrid should lose by 1 goal(that still means winning on 1/2 goal tix and maybe total goals).If not 1-1 or maybe Madrid 1-0(ht 0-0)will do.the most important thing is to get the upper hand fast.As for Osasuna,they will be sitting comfortably at the top for a few more weeks,so a result doesn't quite matter.that doesn't mean there's no predictions,but rather a 1-1 draw will do.Sevilla might as well win 2-1 or don't even draw at all
Lokomotiv Moscow vs Spartak Moscow
while CSKA are opening the champagne and Dinamo are launching another inquest,the other 2 Moscovites are now in a tussle over that Champs League slot that will see them join CSKA.Spartak has an easier mission since drawing will do just fine.Loko will have to win,to salvage a season that looked rosy until they started cocking out against rapid Vienna during August.a look at the injury list will show to an extent why Spartak looks even better
(Sychev(knee)+Francisco Lima(on leave)+Loskov(LTE)) vs (Pavlyuchenko)
Prediction:I'll check the Spartak site on Sunday and hope that Spartak win 2-1 or 1-0.that Cavenaghi guy will get one of the goals.whoo!
oh ya here's the bread and butter stuff
Arsenil-Wigan-Wigan 1-0 and it's so likely
Charlton-Man U-Keane-Less Man U wins 2-1
Chelsea-Newcastle-another rampage at 2-0(actually that's not a thrashing) or 3-1
Liverpool-Portsmouth-2-1 or 1-0
Man C-Blackburn-1-1
Sunderland-Villa-Villa chalks up a rare win
WBA-Everton-Everton win 1-0
Spurs-West Ham-Spurs will come out as the better of the two
Boro-Fulham-Boro draw
Birmingham-Bolton-Bolton 1-0
Marseille-Nantes-we might be tempted to put Nantes 1-0,but better stick with 2-1
Monaco-St Etienne-1-0
Strasbourg-Nice-a win is Nice-ly put there
Nancy-Le Mans-1-1
Ajaccio-Sochaux-2-1 to Ajaccio
Auxerre-Lille-1-1 again or 1-0 to Lille
Lens-Metz-2 goals at least
Lyon-Troyes-2-0 is the most likely score
Rennes-Toulouse-I miss Stade Toulousain again.maybe not,though,because here's a draw
Bordeaux-PSG-2-1 to PSG or 1-1 at most
Cologne-Schalke-Schalke should win comfortably by 1 goal,but 2 goals is not so likely
Gladbach-Leverkusen-1-1
Kaiserslautern-Nuremburg-1-1
Dortmund-Hertha-2-1 or 2-2
Mainz-Frankfurt-0-0?erm no.3-1

Inter-Parma-1-0

Athletic-Alaves-after the battle of the desperadoes,i don't think any of them will climb out the relegation zone
Malaga-Sociedad-1-0
Cadiz-Valencia-Valencia win again
Celta-Atletico-1-1 or Atletico 2-1 or Celta 1-0.see who scores first
Racing-Deportivo-Depor 1-0
Celtic Park,Glasgow and Pittodrie,Aberdeen
(Celtic vs Rangers) vs (Aberdeen vs Hearts)
It's time for the old firm rumble AGAIN(considering they had the misfortune to go head to head last week).whatever the case both teams need to get their act right before Hearts continue to an 'unassailable' lead.the Jambos meanwhile have their own problems to solve,having to go to Aberdeen 1 day later and mindful that the Dons would gift their lead to Celtic in event of anything other than a win,and city rivals Hibs may be looking over their heads
Unfortunately though,the Gers and the Dons are also in desperate situations of their own.4th and 7th respectively,both have been unimpressive.particularly by rangers' high quality service,and it doesn't look any better for the Gers having French defenders Oliver Bernard and Julien Rodriguez out(latest news) and bogged down by champs league(drawing against Artmedia twice is a very bad move,and they have only a win against Porto to account for).Adding to the injury list are Buffel,Novo and Nieto,though Gavin Rae and Hemdani is available after a long time out
Celtic though are hitting a good patch of form,and fans didn't even need to mind going out against Artmedia that 27/07 night because Rangers are more important.in fact there aren't any major injury concerns,
Prediction:1-0 to Celtic,or 2-1 if Rangers score.I don't think the draw probability is high,but if I have to put any draw results,1-1 or 2-2.it's one hell of a powder keg.Hearts might as well deal with Aberdeen (and Celtic should they draw) once and for all so I'm putting 2-1 to Hearts
Madrid(1am singapore time)
(Real Madrid vs Barcelona) vs (Getafe vs Osasuna) vs (Sevilla vs Betis)
It's time to rumble again.of course the WC playoffs might have taken a toll on the Spanairds such as Raul and Puyol,but theoretically Barcelona has the upper hand.having Etoo,Ronaldino and co to whack Getafe 2 weeks back means that trouble is really brewing in Madrid,and the Uruguayans in Madrid(Barca counting their lucky stars now) having jet lag to worry too(so Luxemburgo would most likely stick with Robinho)
What about Getafe?they are also a bunch of off form desperadoes.now they have to look for a win to make sure they don't get humiliated.unfortunately though Osasuna might make it 4 in a row,discounting their not so impressive away form.down in the rainy south,there's the Sevillan storm to complement el Clasico.With Betis grossly off form at the moment and missing everyone but Joaquin,and their city rivals bobbing up and down,everyone's desperate for a win to go to Europe(at least for Sevilla)
Prediction:many pundits would put a Barcelona win.if i'm swayed(I'm a Madridista) I'd go for a 2-1 Barca with a 1-1 draw at half time.given that illegal Asian bookies would put flat ball(while SPools would grudgingly give Madrid a 1.5goal headstart),Madrid should lose by 1 goal(that still means winning on 1/2 goal tix and maybe total goals).If not 1-1 or maybe Madrid 1-0(ht 0-0)will do.the most important thing is to get the upper hand fast.As for Osasuna,they will be sitting comfortably at the top for a few more weeks,so a result doesn't quite matter.that doesn't mean there's no predictions,but rather a 1-1 draw will do.Sevilla might as well win 2-1 or don't even draw at all
Lokomotiv Moscow vs Spartak Moscow
while CSKA are opening the champagne and Dinamo are launching another inquest,the other 2 Moscovites are now in a tussle over that Champs League slot that will see them join CSKA.Spartak has an easier mission since drawing will do just fine.Loko will have to win,to salvage a season that looked rosy until they started cocking out against rapid Vienna during August.a look at the injury list will show to an extent why Spartak looks even better
(Sychev(knee)+Francisco Lima(on leave)+Loskov(LTE)) vs (Pavlyuchenko)
Prediction:I'll check the Spartak site on Sunday and hope that Spartak win 2-1 or 1-0.that Cavenaghi guy will get one of the goals.whoo!
oh ya here's the bread and butter stuff
Arsenil-Wigan-Wigan 1-0 and it's so likely
Charlton-Man U-Keane-Less Man U wins 2-1
Chelsea-Newcastle-another rampage at 2-0(actually that's not a thrashing) or 3-1
Liverpool-Portsmouth-2-1 or 1-0
Man C-Blackburn-1-1
Sunderland-Villa-Villa chalks up a rare win
WBA-Everton-Everton win 1-0
Spurs-West Ham-Spurs will come out as the better of the two
Boro-Fulham-Boro draw
Birmingham-Bolton-Bolton 1-0
Marseille-Nantes-we might be tempted to put Nantes 1-0,but better stick with 2-1
Monaco-St Etienne-1-0
Strasbourg-Nice-a win is Nice-ly put there
Nancy-Le Mans-1-1
Ajaccio-Sochaux-2-1 to Ajaccio
Auxerre-Lille-1-1 again or 1-0 to Lille
Lens-Metz-2 goals at least
Lyon-Troyes-2-0 is the most likely score
Rennes-Toulouse-I miss Stade Toulousain again.maybe not,though,because here's a draw
Bordeaux-PSG-2-1 to PSG or 1-1 at most
Cologne-Schalke-Schalke should win comfortably by 1 goal,but 2 goals is not so likely
Gladbach-Leverkusen-1-1
Kaiserslautern-Nuremburg-1-1
Dortmund-Hertha-2-1 or 2-2
Mainz-Frankfurt-0-0?erm no.3-1
Arminia-Bayern-still rolling.2 now

things on the agenda today,before the big match
1)It's game over for Hoyzer the match fixing ref and his cronies,though not quite the ending expected.in the end the courts decided to sentence him to 2 years and 5 months while they added 6 more for the alleged ringleader.not so bad considering that the croat ringleader earnt 1.6M euros from 2 matches and 103K euros went to reward the guilty 2
2)Cicinho joins Madrid after the transfer window opens on a 5 year deal.just to rest in peace the Madridistas still have a non-EU slot free because the Sao Paulo winger has dual Italian-Brazilian citizenship.
3)Sparta is is deep trouble whatever the coach.blame it on the defence or the lack of Poborsky.whatever the case it looks like a classic Rosenborg case
4)last 5 people on board:Czech Rep,Spain,Switzerland,Trindad,Australia,a tunnel bustup fot the Swiss and 4 reds for the russians(rest assured it's U21 stuff.just for the fun)

football is now getting out of fashion for just this week.rugby is,and ironically rugby internationals are more popular than those so called Premiership and European cup stuff,though scores can be lopsided sometimes.
unfortunately though,rugby internationals are poorly structured,such that there is England vs Australia on the same day as Premiership matches.football doesn't and that's what I like about league football because the ball standard is way better than highly unpredictable internationals or very predictable internationals
grrr go off guys
Wales-Fiji-maxi power
France-Canada-no merci
Ireland-NZ-Blackout in Dublin
Scotland-Argentina-not a predictable encounter as thought last time.Scots to narrowly get away,or even an Argentine win
Italy-Tonga-the rare few games the Azzurri can win
England-Australia-England to win by a photo finish
Falcons-London Irish-London Irish can spring a surprise if the Falcons are really depleted
Sale-Worcester-no Hodgson still can talk.but can only mumble
Northampton-Wasps-wasp sting or draw
Leicester-Gloucester-Gloucester can spring a surprise too
Bath-Saracens-Saracen win
Bristol-Leeds-Leeds to be the better of the two

No soccer news...erm not quite actually
Costa Rica 2 France 3-the benefit match for the Martinique dead in the plane crash last few months ago looked unscripted until the later stages...where the French have to storm back from a 2-0 deficit
Celtic 2 Rangers 0-Earlier on it looked as if the Hoops are off to a woeful season.not that it mattered now,but this time it looked as if the Rangers season is a complete writeoff after the Scottish League Cup quarter finals

exclusive from Kiev...and what is showing is bound to be a shocker
Shakhtar 0 Dinamo 1-this is the Russian/Ukrainian answer to Chelsea vs Man U,except that we all went seriously bust on this one,and everything seemed inaccurate here,the Brazilians didn't even score to cap it off
Bolton 1 Spurs 0-Nolan is the man who exposed Spurs' on-and-off form.not quite a sweaty affair after all
yeah it's goddamn awful,so the Dugout Times have another match to cover in the Ligue...this time live and exclusive again
Ajaccio-Lens-going through a bald patch at the moment,so it's better to put Lens 2-1

Finally there is someone who can rise up to the challenge of Chelsea,and duh who else?
Man U 1 Chelsea 0-Keane can say that Fletcher is the surprise hero after they resisted everything Chelsea threw at the Red Devils.If Fergie can be saved,Arsenil Wenger should consider dropping his accusations because even if he won,Chelsea will thrash Arsenil 5-0 next time they see them
Everton 1 Boro 0-by the way,it's now sunderland who's in the biggest trouble,not helped by the toffees who won.
Lille 2 Strasbourg 0-whatever the case it's Lyon who are now watching Lille very closely to ensure there isn't any Lille sudden surge.now it's strasbourg with the unglam record of no wins
Sochaux 1 Lens 1-not quite an expected score
Troyes 2 Rennes 1-off track
PSG 0 Monaco 0-this seems quite accurate
Gladbach 0 Hamburg 0-what a bore
Nuremburg 0 Stuttgart 1-they got what they needed
Milan 5 Udinese 1-this is how you blast opponents.terbaboom!
Juventus 3 Livorno 0-blanko triple a hit with all our punters
Ascoli 0 Fiorentina 2-Toni now accounts for...1 goal again.we're so efficient.this time Ujfalusi complements the show.Bojinov next?or anyone else
Cagliari 0 Treviso 0-gimme a big YAWN
Messina o Roma 2-double the goals,double the fun
Parma 2 Lecce 0-hot and cold is better than being very cold
Siena 0 Chievo 1-if a donkey whizzes past the mighty inter vikings,this is it
Palermo 0 Sampdoria 2-not quite a draw,with Samp having the edge
Malaga 1 Deportivo 1-the story starts like this...when I wanted a win they drew
Sevilla 0 Atletico 0-and then the storyline become sian diao and then before I went zzz...
Cadiz 1 Mallorca 2-when I wanted a draw they gave a win.how inaccurate
Celta 2 Alaves 1-Celta looks better than Getafe nowadays,and they can consider leapfrogging over Madrid if lucky
Racing 1 Betis 1-whatever the case they weren't quite cut out to juggle Europe and Liga.Athletic and Espanyol have it worse
Real Madrid 1 Zaragoza 0-no mean feat considering the long injury list.Getafe comes next (after 2 weeks) so they better start hoping for divine intervention if they don't want to revert back to form
Getafe 1 Barcelona 3-this is really the end of the road for Getafe.but the saying of 'there's light at the end of the tunnel' still exists.check out their only goal which have Pernia whack a incoming ball into the net right after his leg touch the ball.man that's so cool!!Motta and Ronaldinho's free kick teaser is quite zai too...brings back memories of Juninho
Dinamo Moscow 1 CSKA Moscow 2-the Army Boys lifts the title yet again,complete with champagne and champs league.it isn't so bad for Spartak and Loko after all because they will also be playing in the Champs League next season,if they are lucky.Dinamo though is in massive trouble after only gaining a mid table finish even when they transplanted the whole of Porto's winning quartet into their team(and complete with ex-Superliga players)
Olympiacos 2 Xanthi 0-the win puts them back on the top that they are so used to.now Panathinaikos have the unenviable position of being in 4th and no prizes for guessing who's in the top 3

Lianhe Zaobao's speciality is the German Bundesliga...and our favourite fixtures are the French ones
Bayern 3 Bremen 1-they were Klose to losing their first game at the Allianz before they fought back,all compressed into 45 mins.Lianhe Zaobao hit the exact score
Portsmouth 0 Wigan 2-Wigan means business,and they need to do so esp when they have 5 big matches within 3 weeks
Villa 0 Liverpool 2-they left it late,which is still worrying but not so much a problem
Arsenil 3 Sunderland 1-better off dead
Bl;ackburn 4 Charlton 1-super inaccurate
Fulham 2 Man C 1-with Wright-Philips they look so ordinary,without him,they can go out of business
Newcastle 1 Birmingham 0-Souness has only one clever move so far.that is to buy owen.but it worked so far
West Ham 1 West Brom 0-that was the only exact hit for the premiership fixtures
Toulouse 0 Lyon 1-not the thrashing I've expected,and to rub it in,neither Carew now Juninho scored early enough
Le Mans 3 Marseille 0-?(i.e:inexplicable)
Metz 2 Ajaccio 0-the Alsatian mockery seems to be over with Metz getting their first win
Nice 0 Bordeaux 1-exact hit
St Etienne 1 Auxerre 1-2 in a row
Nantes 3 Nancy 0-hat trick thwarted
Hertha 3 Kaiserslautern 0-overshot score is not entirely bad.in fact it's good for the teams in question
Leverkusen 2 Dortmund 1-didn't quite get the mirror image,but at least Leverkusen needs something decent...and you definitely get what you wished
Schalke 3 Duisburg 0-whipping time
Wolfsburg 1 Cologne 1-didn't quite expect the visiotrs to score
Frankfurt 3 Bielefeld 0-they looked like relegation candidates until they thrashed Schalke.now they seem to fly high...and low...to complete a hat-tick of 3-0s
Hanover 2 Mainz 2-my Germanic predictions gone entirely haywire
Empoli 3 Reggina 0-the oddity of the Italian league is that you get wins when least expected and bore draws when most expected.they gave me the former now...
Lazio 0 Inter 0-but then this time it's the latter as they bored everyone to death
Sociedad 1 Osasuna 2-okok,their away ability looks suspect but somehow pulling a win out of the bag meant that barca has more work to do
Espanyol 1 Athletic 1-Javier Clemente's return gave me this power hit
Villareal 1 Valencia 0-agreed,Villareal are the lucky team.and then Mr Flores need to do something about winning when least expected(Madrid) and losing when most expected(Getafe)

now that the Bayern-Bremen faceoff and all those Bundesliga are but a few minutes away,I decide to give you some Guinness Premiership and Celtic League scores,just to add to the rugby flavour.all the best shows haven't started yet,except for the odd early bird English fixture and the regular Bundesliga stuff that starts precisely at 10.30 and ends at 12.30...there's none for now so let's crap
London Wasps 21 Bristol 16-as expected
Worcester 15 Leicester Tigers 11-shock loss for the Tigers
Cardiff 16 Munster 18
Glasgow 30 Connacht 15
Ulster 12 Neat Swansea Ospreys 20
whatever the case here's more jokes on Euro soccer,courtesy of uefa.com...
hot off the press yesterday...
fan extreme 1:if an ex player throws away extra clothing with the team's label on it...he is accused of being Judas,even if he didn't throw away his first team kit.the unfortunate player in question is Jason Culina from PSV,and Twente fans obviously were fuming
fan extreme 2:how can Start and Man U be linked?by this mad fan in Norway of course.setting fire to the wooden shack called the police station means that he's in hot soup
player extremes:our dear old Bayern.training at 0330 in the morning after the DFB Pokal win 1)is a sure fire way of getting complained by residents(enough for police to show up and end the party) and 2)would cause fatigue(that might be a link to the loss against Juventus)
stale bread
Happy Meal:to cheer Woodgate up after he overcame 18 months worth of injury,Real lied to him about having a scan on his leg,when in fact the medics and Becks were inside.the end needs no mention
Baby ball:since Totti's wife is getting pregnant,the ball secreted when he celebrated against Lazio provides fun for the Giallorossi.it's more tasteful than naming the kid 'Tottinho'
Souped up:fans of Strasbourg get a treat of split peas soup from the chairman before the game against St Etienne.unfortunately the players might have been satiated because of the soup or maybe they didn't have any soup as they lost again in the Ligue last week
Money-back guarantee:this is what Elfsborg did after their 8-1 loss against new Allsvenskan champions Djurgardens.Nottingham Forest had it worse after supporters went into the dugout to complain...all within a peaceful atmosphere
The Dynasty:unfortunately though Maldini III's daddy(Maldini II) won't be happy about his son being potentially over-hyped after joining the Milan Kids team.not that it mattered,but footy is still a game after all
London Wasps 21 Bristol 16-as expected
Worcester 15 Leicester Tigers 11-shock loss for the Tigers

Happy Meal:to cheer Woodgate up after he overcame 18 months worth of injury,Real lied to him about having a scan on his leg,when in fact the medics and Becks were inside.the end needs no mention
Baby ball:since Totti's wife is getting pregnant,the ball secreted when he celebrated against Lazio provides fun for the Giallorossi.it's more tasteful than naming the kid 'Tottinho'
Souped up:fans of Strasbourg get a treat of split peas soup from the chairman before the game against St Etienne.unfortunately the players might have been satiated because of the soup or maybe they didn't have any soup as they lost again in the Ligue last week
Money-back guarantee:this is what Elfsborg did after their 8-1 loss against new Allsvenskan champions Djurgardens.Nottingham Forest had it worse after supporters went into the dugout to complain...all within a peaceful atmosphere
The Dynasty:unfortunately though Maldini III's daddy(Maldini II) won't be happy about his son being potentially over-hyped after joining the Milan Kids team.not that it mattered,but footy is still a game after all

before we go crazy about the clash of all clashes,here's something to fill the readers of this crappy webzine up.this includes all the Investec internationals and all the faces off from Manchester to Kiev
Man U-Chelsea-Chelsea should win 1-0,if not draw.Man U win then it will be a big shocker to go with Betis win
Villa-Liverpool-Villa 1-1 or Pool 1-0.Baros won't score if Villa scores
Arsenil-Sunderland-wished Sunderland were stronger enough but that won't be likely
Blackburn-Charlton-Charlton 2-1
Fulham-Man C-1-1
Newcastle-Birmingham-Magpie resurgency at it's best at 3-1
West Ham-West Brom-1-0 or something
Portsmouth-Wigan-Wigan bubble will burst now.if not a 1-0 for Wigan seems extremely reckless
Everton-Boro-Boro has enough bite to deal with the toffees
Bolton-Spurs-a closely fought draw or a Bolton 2-1
Toulouse-Lyon-juggernaut still in motion.Carew should easily account for 1 of the goals,and Juninho too
Le Mans-Marseille-Marseille 1-0
Metz-Ajaccio-1-1 or any thinkable draw
Nice-Bordeaux-1-0 to Bordeaux
St Etienne-Auxerre-1-1 or Auxerre 1-0
Nantes-Nancy-2-1
Lille-Strasbourg-should there be no glitches it would be a Lille 1-0
Sochaux-Lens-Lens' away ability looks suspect,but I think they should get away with a 1-0
Troyes-Rennes-1-0 to Rennes
PSG-Monaco-what a whammy.PSG to stop the Principality guys if not keep them in a stalemate
Bayern-Bremen-face-off will result in a Bayern late win
Hertha-Kaiserslautern-1-0
Leverkusen-Dortmund-1-1 or Dortmund 2-1
Schalke-Duisburg-Duisburg are surely contenders for being whipped
Wolfsburg-Cologne-1-0
Frankfurt-Bielefeld-1-1
Hanover-Mainz-1-1 again
Gladbach-Hamburg-Hamburg 1-0
Nuremburg-Stuttgart-Stuttgart to look for somewhere to ransack
Empoli-Reggina-1-1 or 0-0
Lazio-Inter-Inter is the Irreducibile One
Ascoli-Fiorentina-Toni will still account for one of the goals.but the rest of the details for a Viola win is going to be very sketchy
Cagliari-Treviso-2-1
Juventus-Livorno-Juve whitewash
Messina-Roma-1-0 to Romans
Milan-Udinese-closely fought match that will result in a Milan win
Parma-Lecce-1-0 or 1-1
Siena-Chievo-1-1
Palermo-Sampdoria-another draw
Sociedad-Osasuna-we don't know what is Osasuna's ability away from El Sadar,but it would be a win anyhow
Espanyol-Athletic-we are loaded,so 1-1
Villareal-Valencia-1-1 or 2-1 to the lucky team
Malaga-Deportivo-Depor 1-0
Sevilla-Atletico-1-0 or 2-0
Cadiz-Mallorca-1-1 or 0-0
Celta-Alaves-1-0
Racing-Betis-this does cut it.2-1 to Betis
Real Madrid-Zaragoza-3-1 or something
Getafe-Barcelona-end of the road for the early front runners
Shakhtar Donetsk-Dynamo Kiev-exclusive Ukraininan fixture.If it doesn't kick,it isn't worthy on the Dugout Times.of course let's shoot so I think Shakhtar will extend their lead at the Ukrainian league to 5 points,and unsurprisingly the goalscorer(s) would be Brazilian
Olympiacos-Xanthi-this isn't intended on the original roster,but seeing the Big 3 of Athens panting to chase the team Boro met en route to UEFA Group stages means that the Legends have a chance to redeem themselves from that humiliating Lyon defeat.they should comfortably win 1-0
Wales-New Zealand-Black Sunday for the Welsh
France-Australia-Australia to scrape a messy win
Argentina-South Africa-not quite a walkover with/without the Argentines,but still a win anyhow
Man U-Chelsea-Chelsea should win 1-0,if not draw.Man U win then it will be a big shocker to go with Betis win
Villa-Liverpool-Villa 1-1 or Pool 1-0.Baros won't score if Villa scores
Arsenil-Sunderland-wished Sunderland were stronger enough but that won't be likely

Hamburg 2 Viking 0-Rafael van der Vaart scored again,as I've predicted correctly.not the next goal though

Palermo 0 Loko Moscow 0-Italian blank part 1.o-o-ps is the only thing thinkable right now

Hereenveen 0 CSKA Moscow 0-Hereenveen has a bad habit of playing timid for 0-0 draws.not that it mattered,but there's at least some payout since I was partially correct
Rapid Bucharest 2 Rennes 0-If Feyenoord's fate has anything to do with this,an advice is,play safe for a home win in Bucharest
Stuttgart 0 Shakhtar 2-Brazilians are used to great effect in demolishing opponents,and that's not all.I couldn't be bothered to put anymore Shakhtar draws ever again
Bolton 1 Zenit St Petersburg 0-it's 2 out of 2 for the trotters

Fergie's problems just got more serious,if the next few scores shown are any indication of this freak show going on
Club Brugge 3 Rapid 2-to come back from a first minute goal is no mean feat
Juventus 2 Bayern 1-classic revenge match of the titans,the only difference was that they were so close they had to be separated by a late goal
Arsenil 3 Sparta 0-no hopers
Thun 2 Ajax 4-three extra minutes was all it took to break down the Swiss Gladiators
Bremen 4 Udinese 3-what a thriller,6 minutes surge(an unlucky own goal thrown in) and then another goal...what a match
Barcelona 5 Panathinaikos 0-If Eto'o scores 3,he seems to do a less messi-er job than Ronaldinho.it doesn't matter to the Greeks,though
Benfica 0 Villareal 1-so close,they ended up throwing the group very wide open
Lille 1 Man U 0-we have no idea what's going on in Man U nowadays.even Keane's disciplinary pep talks fails to have any effect,esp when they burned the tape,and Lille's first goal of the season puts them in far greater trouble than imagined

Lens-Halmstads-Lens are almost invincible at home,a 2-0 will do

Betis 1 Chelsea 0-Dani will be the no 1 most infamous name circulating around Stamford Bridge from now on
Rosenborg 0 Real Madrid 2-Robinho is impressive and so the Norwegians are more or less content with the UEFA Cup,if everything stays the same

PSV 1 Milan 0-Farfan turns 10 Man Milan into a side which didn't even looked as if they were powerful enough to beat Juventus
Schalke 2 Fenerfarce 0-send those Istanbul Idiots to hell

Club Brugge-Rapid Vienna-1-0 again
Arsenil-Sparta-I wish Sparta can win this once at 1-0

Bremen-Udinese-2-2
Lille-Man U-Man U looks so cock we could be tempted to put a Lille 1-0.maybe not,because it will be another draw
