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
