Tuesday, February 28, 2006 PSG sure has a hell load of trouble on their hands where hooligans are concerned,well at least in Nantes.Honestly,we don't think Boulogne Boys or Supras would think of such stuff,cause they are too big,so 2 small groups of hoolies decide to hold PSG hostage. Tigris Mystic:formed 1993. Boulogne Independents:apparently an offshoot of Boulogne Boys(le supporters officiel) If you think they can't be controlled,wait till you get back to Paris and wait for Marseille's hoolies to show up and then they might actually end up fighting in front of the police HQ.Even the interior minister got into the act and starts condemning those louts.sure sign of sickness Monday, February 27, 2006 I think I suspect something was amiss when I first saw the scores Man U 4 Wigan 0-Rooney double and 3 in 7 killers mean that man U did go back home with a trophy at all Club Brugge 1 Standard 1-oops,Anderlecht seems to be the one profiting after the stalemate Fenerfarce 2 Besiktas 2-erm no...Galatasaray just needs a bit more rocket booster to win the championship Lazio 0 Roma 2-what a fine record win Benfica 1 Porto 0-I'm in trouble this time,but it seems like I just need a few games to recoup my loss Lens 1 Ajaccio 0-ah part hit Marseille 1 Nice 0-full honours Monaco 0 Lille 1-I was saying Lille win,so that's counted as a hit,isn't it? Strasbourg 2 Troyes 0-double destroyer Duisburg 2 Hertha Berlin 1-correct! Hamburg 0 Stuttgart 2-actually we blew this one up Bolton 2 Fulham 1-Bolton is back,with some bang West Brom 0 Boro 2-we're stuffed Liverpool 1 Man C 0-hit without either of them Valencia 1 Getafe 1-nothing actually,it just applied the cement on barca Betis 2 Sociedad 0-double trouble Celta 2 Cadiz 0-another double trouble Espanyol 5 Sevilla 0-blew it big time Athletic 1 Villareal 1-hit Alaves 2 Racing 2-not actually counted Mallorca 2 Real Madrid 1-blam! Osasuna 1 Deportivo 2-blam! deja vu Cagliari 2 Chievo 2-2 goals in last minute and we can't recognise which is which Juventus 3 Lecce 1-hit power Ascoli 1 Messina 0-no such count Palermo 0 AC Milan 2-normally it's milan's turn to put on the heat,that isn't quite necessary,though Siena 1 Sampdoria 0-Samp is getting like crap nowadays Empoli 1 Treviso 1-down but not out Inter Milan 3 Udinese 1-kau tim already Coventry 1 Burnley 0 Crewe 2 Brighton 1 Crystal Palace 4 Norwich 1 Derby 1 Plymouth 0 Hull 2 Wolves 3 Ipswich 2 Leicester 0 Leeds 2 Luton 1 Reading 2 Preston 1 Sheffield Utd 2 QPR 3 Southampton 3 Sheffield Wed 0 Stoke 2 Millwall 1 Watford 2 Cardiff 1 roundup:Coventry,Crewe,Leeds,Reading and Stoke are the hits of the day.Sheffield Utd lost the momentum this time round.surely impressive PAOK 1 Olympiacos 2-hit again,this time without rivaldo Alkmaar 1 PSV 2-early birds discount and we had a nice profit hitting that on our ticket Videoton 1 Ferencvaros 1-failed experiment FC Zurich 1 Thun 0-another Swiss oracle prediction and we have them churning out precise hits Young Boys 1 Grasshoppers 1-so correct,we just decided to have Swiss League covered on a regular basis from our next issue! Sunday, February 26, 2006 Blackburn is my new hero Blackburn 1 Arsenil 0-new hero of the week:Pedersen.unlucky enough to get out after scoring but it's Arsenil who befit their nickname as the nil gang by looking lame Auxerre 2 Toulouse 0-2 chances to make amends to your betting slip Bordeaux 3 Metz 3-???.they were just lucky to have an equaliser after trailing 2-3,against all odds Le Mans 0 St Etienne 1-we're having some form of an off day Lyon 1 Rennes 4-Juninho did score from another freekick,but that was the end of it as everyone were just puzzled after 90 minutes.that's the other side of football's beauty Nancy 0 Sochaux 3-uh no comment actually Nantes 0 PSG 0-we were gorggy on beer on this one and still managed to find being drunk more exciting that watching such idiotically clam-shell matches Cologne 0 Leverkusen 3-triple trouble,all after the second half Bremen 2 Gladbach 0-just romp Arminia 1 Dortmund 0-crapped my way through Mainz 0 Lautern 2-sin bin Bayern 5 Frankfurt 2-3-1 was only for halftime.show of the week Wolfsburg 2 Hanover 1-actually Wolfsburg are pretty unpredictable Schalke 2 Nuremburg 0-early birds deal Parma 2 Fiorentina 4-we forgot that we don't have any replacements for Toni until recently,hence the long awaited win Reggina 1 Livorno 1-another strike Zaragoza 0 Barcelona 2-left it late to seal the deal Atletico 5 Malaga 0-so much for the dinosaurs.now it's malaga who're more likely to be extinct Birmingham 1 Sunderland 0-whatever the case at the expense of Sunderland they survived Charlton 0 Villa 0-huh...zzz Chelsea 2 Portsmouth 0-correct guess to start the day.still potent after all Newcastle 2 Everton 0-Solano's 2 strikes give Roeder sweet nights...as if Graeme Souness is a thousand miles away looking at new employment prospects Austria Vienna 0 Sturm Graz 0-not the kind of bore fest expected,but good enough Grazer 3 Rapid Vienna 1-after going out from the champs league,they seemed to have ended up giving their trophy to their purple rivals Saturday, February 25, 2006 hell yeah here's our favourite fixtures as always,though a bit late now.funny,this time my top 5 fixtures selection for this week are a bit odd,and it gets really weird towards the end Man U-Wigan-League Cup final.desperate Man U will take their only silverware and overwhelm Wigan as always.a UEFA Cup slot is somehow guaranteed for the Latics and they just need to put a fight and lose 2-0 Lazio-Roma-we're eternally waiting for such a derby in the Eternal City.yeah correct and with Roma winning most of the time and Lazio drawing most of the time,Roma will win 2-1 courtesy of Totti.anyone looking for di Canio doing the Fascist salute will be disappointed,I warn you first Fenerfarce-Besiktas-Besiktas are hot right now,and so they will help Galatasaray this once and win 1-0.that is,if Galatasaray doesn't screw up themselves Benfica-Porto-after beating Liverpool,it's back to normal business.unfortunately though,Porto is stronger than Liverpool away.If you think this is a close fixture,2-1 to Porto will mean Porto are largely guaranteed the championship.If not then 1-1 is ideal but still not enough Club Brugge-Standard-With Anderlecht taiko scoring 2 goals in the last few minutes yesterday,it's time for them to whack the hell out of each other.but since only one can be whacked,it's Club 2-1 Chelsea-Portsmouth-2-0 or something.this is better than Barcelona Birmingham-Sunderland-2-1 to save themselves Charlton-Villa-1-0 or 1-1.Charlton are a bit inconsistent of late Newcastle-Everton-1-0 or 1-1 such that Roeder has an easier job Blackburn-Arsenil-0-0 or 2-1.we need to hound them West Brom-Boro-1-1 or Boro 2-1 on current form Bolton-Fulham-1-0 Liverpool-Man C-Robbie Fowler didn't leave a foul taste in the Blue side,so at least we won't expect him to add to that taste by scoring.rather,Crouch will be doing all the dirty work.1-0 Lyon-Rennes-2-0 should Juninho score again from another freekick Le Mans-St Etienne-1-1 or Le Mans 2-1 Nancy-Sochaux-2-1 Sochaux Nantes-PSG-1-1 or PSG 1-0 Auxerre-Toulouse-1-0 and ok,let's go Bordeaux-Metz-1-0 to kill Lens-Ajaccio-2-1 or something Marseille-Nice-1-1 or a Marseille 1-0 Strasbourg-Troyes-1-1 or 1-0 Monaco-Lille-completely screwed up their season,so 1-0 or a Lille 2-1 may work in most circumstances Bayern-Frankfurt-3-1 or 1-0.surely they're capable of that Mainz-Lautern-1-1 Bremen-Gladbach-2-1 and not from behind Arminia-Dortmund-2-1 Dortmund Cologne-Leverkusen-1-0 Leverkusen Wolfsburg-Hanover-1-1 Schalke-Nuremburg-3-1 Duisburg-Hertha Berlin-2-1 Hamburg-Stuttgart-2-1 or 1-1 in a tight match Atletico-Malaga-2-1 Zaragoza-Barcelona-they need to wear flak jackets this time,because Barca will score 3 at most.2-1 to Barca or 1-0 Zaragoza if you still want giantkillers Betis-Sociedad-2-1 Sociedad or Betis 1-0.going either way Espanyol-Sevilla-2-0 Sevilla Celta-Cadiz-1-0 Mallorca-Real Madrid-to throw Mallorca into the bin,2-1 to Real Athletic-Villareal-1-0 or Villareal 2-1 or 1-1 Valencia-Getafe-2-1 and Quique wouldn't feel anything Alaves-Racing-2-1 for a 'resurgent' Alaves Osasuna-Deportivo-this is tough.I was thinking of Depor 1-0,but I decided to change my mind and put Osasuna 1-1 or 2-1 Parma-Fiorentina-Toni will score this time before they screw up big time.2-1 to Fiorentina Reggina-Livorno-1-0 or 1-1 Inter Milan-Udinese-we sure have something big.2-2 or 1-0 Ascoli-Messina-1-1 or 0-0 Juventus-Lecce-Juventus might win again.and this is confirmed,so 3-1 Palermo-AC Milan-2-1 AC Milan or 1-1 draw as is normal in Mafia-Land Cagliari-Chievo-Chievo 2-1 should be ok Siena-Sampdoria-2-1 Samp Empoli-Treviso-2-0 or 1-0 Coventry-Burnley-1-1 or 1-0 Crewe-Brighton-2-1 Crystal Palace-Norwich-2-1 or 1-1 Derby-Plymouth-2-2 Hull-Wolves-Wolves 1-0 Ipswich-Leicester-2-1 Leicester Leeds-Luton-2-1 Reading-Preston-2-2 or 2-1 Sheffield Utd-QPR-3-1 or 1-0 Southampton-Sheffield Wed-1-0 or 1-1 Stoke-Millwall-2-1 or Millwall 3-0 Watford-Cardiff-1-1 Exclusives.This Week:Austrian double bill and it gets really weird AZ Alkmaar-PSV-I bet no one wants to go against me saying that PSV will romp yet again to the eredivisie.2-1 to PSV will work for this time Young Boys Berne-Grasshoppers-if 1-1 doesn't appeal to you,I bet you should skip this one FC Zurich-Thun-out of the UEFA Cup,now it's more trouble as they will lose 1-0 Grazer-Rapid Vienna-I should say going to Graz isn't a pleasant job,so 1-1 should be decent for both of them to keep in the chase Austria Vienna-Sturm Graz-I make no balls about supporting the purples.should that be so,an average Sturm Graz will fall 2-1 PAOK-Olympiacos-3-0 or 2-1 Olympiacos.man,that's very much a romp nowadays Slavia Prague-Sigma Olomouc-on form now,Slovan would have to wait before they start lifting the championship.3-1 or 2-1 and well,Sparta is doomed Videoton Fehervar-Ferencvaros-Just for kicks I decide to include a bit of Hungarian league matches to joke my way out.I'm an MTK fan by the way,so if anyone would bother going underground on this one,a 1-0 home payout will work.disclaimer:this is an experimental project France-Italy-surely,this would result in a win of at least 3 tries for...the French Scotland-England-England is desperate for a Grand Slam this time round,so they should make their job easier by winning.but it's not so simple to assume,so after a tight match,England needs a kick to win Ireland-Wales-a draw should work.if not,Ireland will win this time.Wales aren't good away nowadays Friday, February 24, 2006 for sure,without a doubt,this is your dream UEFA Cup.too bad there won't be any dutch on home soil,so they're going dutch on this one Rapid Bucharest-Hamburg Basel-Strasbourg Boro-Roma Palermo-Schalke Steaua-Betis Marseille-Zenit SP Lille-Sevilla Udinese-Levski Sofia just how they got to such a state? Rapid Bucharest 2 Hertha Berlin 0-double take Hamburg 2 Thun 0-2-1 on aggregate and I doubt I'd have guessed correctly Basel 1 Monaco 1-ah ha,first blood Strasbourg 0 Litex Lovech 0-no frills disposal of rubbish Palermo 1 Slavia Prague 0(Palermo on away goals)-we sure are good at hitting Italians Espanyol 0 Schalke 3-never they would have won that,in fact it was done in such a convincing style,such an assignment seems chicken feed Steaua 0 Hereenveen 1-who needs to win when they can allow a late goal in,long after their golden moment to look for 2 has gone AZ Alkmaar 2 Betis 1(aet.Betis on aggregate)-this is a nerve wracking 120 minutes before Melli send the struggling greens through Marseille 2 Bolton 1-they sure are good at home,even went so far as to force an own goal Zenit 2 Rosenborg 1-fine enough,in fact they had it neatly cut Lille 0 Shakhtar 0-oops Sevilla 2 Loko Moscow 0-another case of double halfs Lens 1 Udinese 0-game over Levski Sofia 2 Artmedia 0-honestly,we're seeing double Boro 0 Stuttgart 1(Boro on away goals)-I wouldn't care about a wrong score.who care if Boro gets in Roma 2 Club Brugge 1-bulls eye Thursday, February 23, 2006 i'd love to rambo my way through,if given the chance Chelsea 1 Barcelona 2-each had an own goal before Eto'o decides what to do with a Chelsea who is uncharateristically made to play with 10.If they need something to boast about,that is the Revenge of the Frisk Ajax 2 Inter Milan 2-Cruz again and there goes the advantage to Inter.bet they will screw Ajax when the second leg comes Rangers 2 Villareal 2-double submarine crash and so Rangers had no option but to see out a win Bremen 3 Juventus 2-1-0,then 2-1(within 9 minutes).but the miracle part is that they came back from behind to win,all within 5 minutes,including injury time.pretty Wednesday, February 22, 2006 Bet I screwed everything,ass PSV 0 Lyon 1-thinkable,except that Juninho's missiles are damn hard to guess when they come out Benfica 1 Liverpool 0-sometimes changing my mind is a good thing after all.I didn't even expect to hit this one since I put Benfica 1-0 by mistake(I intended to put Liverpool by that score).heng sial Bayern 1 AC Milan 1-this is the sort of insurance fixtures which I hit invariably.just sit back with your beer and watch what happens.I didn't get a large payout,though Real Madrid 0 Arsenil 1-what remains now is that Lopez Caro does a miracle of sorts and do an away thrashing.surely they're capable of that Tuesday, February 21, 2006 that's our long awaited Euro kicks waiting to explode in a few hours.so we'll do well to cover all the important stuff you need this week Arsenil-Real Madrid-If you want to follow my lead then go for 3-0.If not 2-0 or even 1-0 will be nice.they can't score for nuts Bayern Munich-AC Milan-If the Khan is back,good and 2-1 or 1-1 is the best score for a tight fixture.but in the case they have to battle without him,0-0 or Milan 1-0 will be cool.or maybe 1-0.possibilities here are endless Benfica-Liverpool-3-0 to Pool.one for every striker Benfica misses(but I decided to change my mind and put 1-0) PSV-Lyon-1-1 is a thinkable result if you don't want to burn a large hole in your wallet Chelsea-Barcelona-tie of the week.apparently Chelsea can't fake a bad pitch as Barca had accused them of doing,because their field is designed to be in tip-top condition whatever the case.maybe we'll put Chelsea 2-1 or 1-1 in a tight match Rangers-Villareal-1-1 and a valuable away goal for the yellow submarines Bremen-Juventus-Juve is too strong for Bremen,but they are homesick,so that's another matter.2-1 to Juve works well most of the time Ajax-Inter Milan-the only thing advantageous is that they have a passionate home crowd.that would make them concede one goal less but Adriano and company will still run all over them whatever the case.3-1 and they can lift the trophy if they don't meet AC Milan again Zenit SP-Rosenborg-should the Norwegians force out a miracle out of a 2-0 deficit,I'd have applauded them.not likely to do so,so 1-1 or 1-0 Zenit works Marseille-Bolton-by what I know,the French are strong at home.0-0 again and it goes to penalties.Bolton will win the penalties part,but the problem is,they can't wait until they draw before they realised they're in trouble.1-0 to Marseille to be safe,or you can dice with luck and put a draw Strasbourg-Litex Lovech-they just had Litex halved.so they half them again and it's 4-0 on aggregate.do the maths yourself Roma-Club Brugge-2-1 to Roma again.we don't really need Totti in this case Rapid Bucharest-Hertha Berlin-Rapid are hardcore at home.we'll gamble to the core and play out a 1-0 win for those Romanians AZ Alkmaar-Betis-1-0 again.so that means Betis are out of the equation Monaco-Basel-1-1 or 0-0.If you still want to be romantic and put a Monaco win,fine,i'll recommend 2-1.but then we won't be responsible for any losses Steaua Bucharest-Hereenveen-3-1 again.or 3-0.(conservative estimate,1-0)to the extent that Steaua can lift the UEFA Cup to add to their 1986 European Cup...after 20 years Levski Sofia-Artmedia-1-0 to Levski and this is a bullish year.since Artmedia's weak away,it's the end of their long adventure,at long last which included one hell of an adventure with Celtic and Porto Espanyol-Schalke 04-2-1 to Schalke.We don't think Espanyol will win this one at all Lens-Udinese-apparently Lens are very strong at home.hope their magic still works,if not 2-0 will be a regrettable score to punt on.they need 3-0 for any chance to survive,just for information Sevilla-Loko Moscow-1-0 again.this is not the winter wonderland we're talking about Shakhtar-Lille-Shakhtar has lots of options.either they win outright,which can be in the region of 1-0,2-1 or anything,or go for an aggregate draw.I think they will win 1-0 Palermo-Slavia Prague-gang job.should we lose out,we'll be killed by the mafia.I don't think they will cock out and lose 1-0.rather they will win 1-0 even if they look average Boro-Stuttgart-1-0 again and Boro has something to cheer Hamburg-Thun-2-1 to Hamburg and they're doomed.1-0?I'll go for that as for the FA Cup draws... Chelsea-Newcastle Birmingham-Liverpool Charlton-Boro Aston Villa/Man C vs Bolton/West Ham Monday, February 20, 2006 apparently the koppites are waiting for 85 years.some has since died,but they can rest in peace now that Crouch had made Man U lie low,and here's an all premiership cast for the FA Cup quarters Liverpool 1 Man U 0-it's a long wait Actually that doesn't matter,since it can go either way.If that's so,Olympiacos is now the undisputed champion of Greece,and it's one way traffic Olympiacos 3 AEK 0-Rivaldo has 2 of the goals and you can't fault a World Cup winner,whatever his team somehow we have good enough scores... Spurs 2 Wigan 2-not enough for Spurs or Wigan.whatever,they have to wait Chelsea 3 Colchester 1-busted all of them Charlton 3 Brentford 1-yeah minus one goal and perfectly done Aston Villa 1 Man C 1-whatever Bolton 0 West Ham 0-gimme a big YAWN Newcastle 1 Southampton 0-not an entire hit Preston 0 Boro 2-no need to die.the Premiership is just too rich Stoke 0 Birmingham 1-them too.if they win an FA Cup they can play the UEFA Cup in their graves Ajaccio 0 Bordeaux 2-twice the fun Nice 2 Monaco 0-x2 Nice PSG 0 Le Mans 1-hit as unexpected Rennes 4 Lens 1-implosion on the way St Etienne 0 Lille 2-okok,we count that as a hit Sochaux 1 Auxerre 0-nailed?screwed is the correct word Toulouse 1 Strasbourg 2-erm wait,that's another pick up of form Troyes 0 Nancy 1-destroyers are crap Metz 1 Marseille 0-correct score,damn useless Gladbach 2 Cologne 0-so weak,they can go back to 2.bundesliga Leverkusen 3 Duisburg 2-stuffed and neatly displayed Hertha 1 Schalke 2-hit Nuremburg 1 Wolfsburg 0-no hit Hanover 1 Bayern 1-nearly died.damn heng to get away Lautern 2 Bielefeld 0-they absorbed the other goal and it's now left to cologne to do the dirty work Dortmund 0 Bremen 1-screw it and go crazy Frankfurt 1 Hamburg 2-hit Stutgart 2 Mainz 1-no wait,let's go crazy Livorno 0 Inter Milan 0-disappointing flops again Messina 2 Juventus 2-heng sial.they miss the delle alpi even if that's just a deserted dome Milan 1 Cagliari 0-needed against Inter Sampdoria 1 Ascoli 2-win total goals,then fall apart Roma 1 Empoli 0-no score,good though Fiorentina 1 Lazio 2-correct score.just that they weren't doing any favours Chievo 0 Palermo 0-zzz Treviso 0 Parma 1-another strike Lecce 0 Reggina 0-okok,they don't need to think that only 0-0 is counted as a draw out bore Udinese 1 Siena 2-gone case Villareal 4 Espanyol 0-no lah,they're trash Barcelona 5 Betis 1-having Ronaldinho back is so good Real Madrid 3 Alaves 0-so forcing down 3 cockroaches instead of acting like one seems the more plausible thing to do.brilliant hit Sevilla 1 Celta 0-another hit.yay Cadiz 1 Osasuna 3-coming back from behind to whack their asses Deportivo 1 Zaragoza 1-no way out where the Militos are concerned(we mean the older brother) Sociedad 1 Valencia 2-hit again.I've a feeling Brondby sold their star player to the wrong team Getafe 0 Atletico 3-on a roll Malaga 0 Mallorca 2-blam! Racing 0 Athletic 1-finally,a much needed win for the dead lions Thun 1 Young Boys 1-we sure know how the Swiss churns in hits in clock like precision Guimaraes 2 Benfica 0-a letter to gyor,hungary... Dear Miki sorry.Benfica didn't play well when they saw a whole gang of stragglers.and to add to the crap,one of their players got suspended indefinitely pending further investigations of doping hope you won't be angry while we wait for further news from Liverpool R Koeman and the team Rangers 2 Hibs 0-and so goes the Hibs Sturm Graz 0 Graz AK 0-no kicks in Graz Dinamo Zagreb 4 FC Zagreb 1-overshot and bam Standard Liege 7 Cercle Brugge 1-if you think 3-1 was a hit,that was the only thing permissible in the second half.they ran riot in the first half and hence the trumped up score Club Brugge 1 Beveren 0-no so much a hit.good enough for a pint,though Sparta Prague 1 Slovan Liberec 2-correct score,wrong team and an absolutely pathetic season for Sparta Dunfermline 1 Celtic 8-Zurawski throws in 4,just for kicks.and the other 4 just cemented Celtic's status as the biggest club in the Celtic world(that means Rangers are b******s,silly) Jablonec 0 Slavia Prague 2-for some laughs,if anyone did put 2-0 with illegal bookies,they scored in the 8th and 88th mins.sure sign of cash Saturday, February 18, 2006 as the Liverpool-Man U saga heats up,we'd love to spice things up a little in Lyon Lyon 3 Nantes 1-stuff that in the trolley and roll off with the cash Friday, February 17, 2006 ok,we sure know how to be noobie blasters where the FA Cup is concerned Liverpool-Man U-this is the big FA Cup tie.since both are on nice form,and Man U can get away with it,2-1 will suffice for the Red Devils Lyon-Nantes-this is damn early.2-1 to Lyon and we assure you,nothing out of the ordinary is going to happen Spurs-Wigan-the only EPL match for the week.expectedly we don't expect Wigan to get away with a win,so 1-1,2-1 or a 1-0 as a big gamble does nicely Olympiacos-AEK Athens-another big match.I'd want you to play safe by playing 1-1,but I'm feeling so lucky 2-1 to Olympiacos works even in the most desperate of circumstances Charlton-Brentford-2-0 and well,the last vestiges of thelast divisions would be gone Bolton-West Ham-1-1 in a close contest.or 2-1 Newcastle-Southampton-2-1 or maybe a Southampton jack-in-the-box.not so likely Preston-Boro-2-1 Boro and well,they seem better now Stoke-Birmingham-2-1 Birmingham or they might as well just go and die(that includes replays) Chelsea-Colchester-3-0 and/or bust.Colchester isn't Boro for sure Villa-Man C-2-1 can work for a Man C not s good away (midweek)Newcastle-Charlton-1-1.no Souness doesn't mean more wins,but 2-1 may work too Rennes-Lens-Lens will get Rennes to whack,1-0 is king Sochaux-Auxerre-2-1 Auxerre and nailed Toulouse-Strasbourg-1-0.Strasbourg is lousy when it's in the Ligue,and the Toulousains won't have 6 Nations to distract them,so they would support their inferior footy team Ajaccio-Bordeaux-1-0 Bordeaux.don't get booby trapped PSG-Le Mans-2-1 or Le Mans 1-0.mann that's rough Nice-Monaco-1-0 is a Nice choice,or 1-1 is good enough too St Etienne-Lille-3-1 doggy Troyes-Nancy-2-1 or 1-1 Metz-Marseille-1-0 Marseille Hanover-Bayern-3-1 Bayern or 2-1 Hertha Berlin-Schalke-Schalke 2-1 or 2-2 Nuremburg-Wolfsburg-0-0 or 1-1 Lautern-Arminia-1-1 Dortmund-Bremen-ok no fish.2-1 either combo or 2-2 Gladbach-Cologne-2-1 Leverkusen-Duisburg-1-0 Frankfurt-Hamburg-1-1 or Hamburg 2-1 Stuttgart-Mainz-1-0 or 1-1 Livorno-Inter Milan-2-0 Inter,or 1-0.doubt they will flop AC Milan-Cagliari-3-1 or 2-0 Messina-Juventus-3-1 Juve,they seem to be outside home recently Treviso-Parma-Parma 1-0 Fiorentina-Lazio-Toni wouldn't score anyway,but if he does 1-0 would work.if not 2-1 or 1-1 is ok Chievo-Palermo-1-0 or 1-1 and Slavia would seem easier Udinese-Siena-1-0 and ok on the road of recovery Roma-Empoli-3-1 and Totti should score one Sampdoria-Ascoli-2-1 Lecce-Reggina-1-1 Villareal-Espanyol-2-1 and ahoy Real Madrid-Alaves-3-0.no cockroaches actually Sevilla-Celta-1-1 or Sevilla 1-0 or Celta 2-1(only if they score first) Barcelona-Betis-no voodoo as Barca will win 2-1 Getafe-Atletico-2-1 or Atletico 1-0,if Barca is big fish,then small fries aren't hard to fish Deportivo-Zaragoza-1-0 should work Sociedad-Valencia-Valencia will have Villa on all cylinders and 2-1 seems logical Racing-Athletic-1-1 Malaga-Mallorca-1-1 Cadiz-Osasuna-2-1 to Osasuna Exclusives(notice the record 9 exclusives and the rare Croats.anything that looks interesting gets mentioned) Sparta Prague-Slovan Liberec-I changed my mind and decided on a Sparta 2-1 Vitoria Guimaraes-Benfica-2-1 Benfica in memory Sturm Graz-Grazer AK-1-1 or 2-1 Sturm Thun-Young Boys-this is the so called Berne derby.Young Boys look better,but I'd settle with 1-1 Rangers-Hibs-If Hibs can win,1-0 is ok.if not,then 1-1 Standard-Cercle Brugge-3-1 works well Club Brugge-Beveren-Club should find this easier at 2-1 Dinamo Zagreb-FC Zagreb-we sure are f***ing crazy.Dinamo 3-1 and the Croatian Championship is settled the next few Swiss matches.this is my newest fad...(Grasshoppers and Basel meet on funny dates =)) 26/2:Fenerfarce-Besiktas(graaaaaaaaaa) 5/3:Grasshoppers Zurich-FC Zurich 12/3:Basel-Grasshoppers 2/4:Basel-Young Boys 9/4:FC Zurich-Young Boys 23/4:Grasshoppers-Basel 29/4:Basel-Thun 3/5:,Thun-FC Zurich,Grasshoppers-Young Boys =) 6/5:Young Boys-Thun 13/5:Basel-FC Zurich Thursday, February 16, 2006 not so lucky after St Valentine's protection wore off Nantes 1 Troyes 1-this story will end up in football's 10 most wacky moments.it's so boring for 75 minutes,while they took their time to use all their substitutes.then Troyes had their goalie sent off for some desperate lunge at some Nantes player who only had the goalie to beat.the striker turned goalie lasted only 4 mins before he got struck by a free kick.if you think that's freaky enough,the captain/goalie also got sent off for a more retarded foul,then the defender turned goalie let in a penalty right away.this is so lame hahahaha St Etienne 0 Nice 1-half Nice Real Madrid 4 Zaragoza 0-this story sounds like Artmedia-Celtic,and lucky Senor Perez didn't quite flare up at Senor Lopez Caro Rosenborg 0 Zenit SP 2-unexpectedly,we just misfired Bolton 0 Marseille 0-draw yes,but ramming their head on a metal wall is just not on Litex 0 Strasbourg 2-ok,this is a entirely different Strasbourg from the diffuse team in the Ligue Club Brugge 1 Roma 2-minus one goal each and lose a bit Hertha 0 Rapid Bucharest 1-Rapid is the surprise team of the moment Basel 1 Monaco 0-quickpick hit Hereenveen 1 Steaua 3-it's Steaua on the driving seat barring something catastrophic Artmedia 0 Levski Sofia 1-hmmm...Bulgarians are that tough Schalke 2 Espanyol 1-ok another hit,just a bit late Betis 2 AZ Alkmaar 0-grand spoof Loko Moscow 0 Sevilla 1-correct score and wrong team.or correct team and wrong score.eeks Lille 3 Shakhtar 2-just for kicks,the Tigers came back from 3 goals behind in 2 minutes.the same can't be said for the Dogs when they end up in a tiger infested Ukraine Udinese 3 Lens 0-ok f*** it Coventry 2 Sheffield Wed 1 Southampton 0 Preston 0 Burnley 0 Wolves 1 Crewe 1 Ipswich 2 Crystal Palace 2 QPR 1 Leeds 2 Watford 1 Leicester 2 Derby 2 Luton 3 Cardiff 3 Millwall 1 Hull 1 Norwich 3 Brighton 0 Sheffield Utd 1 Reading 1 Stoke 0 Plymouth 0 roundup:Reading top of the table hit,Leeds too,and the rest are partial fractions.got it fairly right anyway Wednesday, February 15, 2006 if the Kop is big enough for rose cultivation,we can grow the whole compound full of red ones.and yeah,here's our Valentine's night bonanza,dugout times style Liverpool 1 Arsenil 0-Luis Garcia's red hit means that all our punters would end up oweing a treat to their girl/woman.and since Liverpool has the most handsome players,everyone's swooned.not Arsenil Wenger though,because if he loses again I'm afraid he will be sacked against all expectations I think Barca is copying what their eternal rivals Real Madrid has done regarding Henry's transfer,with a twist.they don't want to copy Real Madrid where it comes to making themselves look like cheapos.I bet they will snare Henry from Arsenil after the World Cup Tuesday, February 14, 2006 valentine's dugout times is going to be a lovely affair UEFA Cup Schalke-Espanyol-apparently Espanyol is useless when most needed,so a 2-0 win to Schalke won't do much harm.just to beautify the scene,2-1 may be possible Basel-Monaco-beware of Vieri.if he scores a goal,Basel loses 2-1.if not,1-0 or 1-1 should be ok Hereenveen-Steaua-0-0 is their favoured tactic.I bet Steaua can warm up before they do and win 2-1 Litex Lovech-Strasbourg-Strasbourg needs an away goal.but I think they can't get away with poor form in the Ligue. 2-1 to Litex and that sets up a tantalising second leg.if not 1-1 or even a Strasbourg 1-0 may work,if their UEFA Cup form is to be considered Lille-Shakhtar Donetsk-the Ukrainians can't do much away(note that Dynamo Kiev haven't perfected their formula yet),so 1-1 is cool Udinese-Lens-3-1 Lens or to cut the damage,2-1 to the side who scores first Lokomotiv Moscow-Sevilla-it's still sub zero temperatures,so drinking vodka doesn't work.if you don't fancy Loko winning 1-0,2-1 to Sevilla does nice.note that we can't guarantee anything in case of cold Betis-AZ Alkmaar-Betis is on a downward spiral.1-0 to Alkmaar works well Rosenborg-Zenit SP-still quite cold there,at -1 celcius.1-1 or 1-0 can work.for the latter,flip a coin and decide for yourself.disclaimer:we won't be held responsible for losses due to such amateurish advice Bolton-Marseille-this is tough to call.1-1 draw is good.if not then 1-0 to Bolton Artmedia-Levski Sofia-Artmedia are capable of winning big against middle to light-heavy weight opponents.I don't think there will be a freak score,0-0,1-1 or 2-1 are options which you can consider.note you might have to put a draw no matter the case Club Brugge-Roma-Roman power at 3-2 Hertha Berlin-Rapid Bucharest-2-1 or 1-1 Slavia Prague-Palermo-2-1 or maybe 2-0 Palermo.things in the Eastern bloc may be hard to predict Stuttgart-Boro-1-0 to Boro for ppl who aren't well versed in Bundesliga.1-1 for the rest Thun-Hamburg-1-0 to Hamburg.teams who have their coaches sacked lose their first games most of the time(except for absolutely awful ones like Souness) English Championship Burnley-Wolves-2-1 Wolves or 1-1 Crewe-Ipswich-1-1 or 1-0 to Ipswich Crystal Palace-QPR-Crystal Palace 1-0.lovely Leeds-Watford-3-1 Watford or 1-1 mor 2-1 or 1-0 Leeds Leicester-Derby-1-1 Luton-Cardiff-2-2 Millwall-Hull-1-0 Norwich-Brighton-2-1 Sheffield Utd-Reading-Reading 1-0 or 1-1 or maybe a desperate attempt for a Blade 2-1 Stoke-Plymouth-1-1 Coventry-Sheffield Wed-3-1 Southampton-Preston-1-0 or 1-1 Monday, February 13, 2006 kinda screwed up this time round Rangers 0 Celtic 1-it's 21 points clear and still no sign of chasing.really bound for the scrapyard.btw zurawski is my hero of the week Inter Milan 1 Juventus 2-so dramatic,it was a let down for Inter who kinda gifted the scudetto to the Bianconeri Sunderland 1 Spurs 1-it kinda worked until the last moment,when those dead cats just crapped a goal out of no where Man C 3 Charlton 2-away day blues Lille 0 PSG 0-French style blanko in the mud Marseille 0 Toulouse 0-so sian diao,I bet we can't tahan anymore,so we decide to throw eggs the next time they come with a 0-0 again Cologne 0 Dortmund 0-blanks hit Bayern 2 Nuremburg 1-not quite a hit,still better than nothing Parma 0 Ascoli 0-only the 1x2 worked Livorno 2 Fiorentina 0-blam! Cagliari 0 Lecce 0-???(dunno) Sampdoria 4 Messina 2-whack it in for kicks Reggina 1 AC Milan 4-coming back from behind after 2 minutes have never been so easy Empoli 0 Palermo 1-no hit Siena 0 Roma 2-score breakdown,1-1 and 2-0.think we shouldn't factor in so many goals next time since there are leftovers Valencia 1 Barcelona 0-struck the jackpot.anything without Ronaldinho is forgettable,to say the least Betis 0 Deportivo 1-half shot Celta 1 Villareal 0-another hit Espanyol 0 Racing 2-Espanyol are so useless when they're most needed Alaves 3 Malaga 2-safe,for now Mallorca 1 Getafe 1-confused Atletico 1 Sociedad 0-another classy hit.this time it's Kezman breaking his super goal drought FC Zurich 1 Basel 1-for 4 minutes i was dreaming of big money.then got snuffed out just as quickly Hajduk 0 Dinamo Zagreb 1-i wanted to put Dinamo 2-1.kinda spared Wales 28 Scotland 18 Brighton 1 Leicester 2 Cardiff 3 Stoke 0 Derby 0 Leeds 0 Hull 1 Norwich 1 Ipswich 2 Burnley 1 Plymouth 0 Sheffield Utd 0 Preston 5 Luton 1 QPR 1 Millwall 0 Sheffield Wed 0 Crystal Palace 0 Watford 4 Coventry 0 Wolves 1 Crewe 1 roundup:Norwich,Ipswich,Wolves all hit.kinda new and improved,and more freak scores than in the surprisingly sterile Premiership.too bad Sheffield Utd damn guai lan when they needed their things most added update(Tues 8am) West Ham 3 Birmingham 0-no medicine save them liao Maccabi Tel Aviv 1 Maccabi Haifa 0-ok,this is a nice enough hit we're sure we aren't going to be pawned in Tel Aviv.next stop:some posh restaurant in downtown Tel Aviv Sunday, February 12, 2006 one thing first:late crap FC Zurich-Basel.1-0 to Basel.not so easy to swat we must have said that football always spring surprises,and brings so much excitement when giantkillers get their way.looks like in rugby,it just gets a little too predictable France 43 Ireland 31-no thrashing.that will do Italy 16 England 31-broke their away voodoo at last to shock you,welcome to the wacky world of football Boro 3 Chelsea 0-Fabio-ulous Rochemback and company put Man U back on track.Mourinho is shut this just once,to the delight of all the ABCs Arsenil 1 Bolton 1-nearly did.someone had the spoiler Villa 1 Newcastle 2-had Baros not fluffed his penalty,he would have spared us some of the trouble at smashing Everton 1 Blackburn 0-oh yeah,even when wacky i can whack in a bull's eye time and again Fulham 6 West Brom 1-this is freaky Portsmouth 1 Man U 3-jackpot!and supposedly Cristiano Ronaldo has changed from show pony to show horse Wigan 0 Liverpool 1-correct score,and i think Pool tai-koed.if Wigan did score,then Liverpool would have came back.so it's just 1 goal on the total goals ticket Auxerre 1 Metz 1-donkeys Bordeaux 2 Rennes 0-ahaha,it's twice the fun Le Mans 2 Nice 0-Le Mans is first up on the track Lens 1 Lyon 1-on third thought,i should have halved my prediction or it's just half the winnings on 1x2 Nancy 2 St Etienne 0-this time it's twice Nantes 3 Sochaux 1-incorrect Strasbourg 2 Ajaccio 2-draw?yes.hit?not really Monaco 1 Troyes 1-Vieri hit a goal in first,then they equalised.one of the rare few games which i smiled straight to the bank from the first whistle Schalke 7 Leverkusen 4-for sure,this is one hell of a circus Frankfurt 0 Hanover 1-not so much a hit.should have bought frankfurters instead of betting(read:gamble with care) Hamburg 1 Mainz 0-half-time and half-score Bielefeld 2 Stuttgart 0-so crap,they can go scrap their season Duisburg 1 Gladbach 1-hit once again Wolfsburg 1 Berlin 1-i'm quite foolish to crap a bet here Bremen 0 Lautern 2-floored Lazio 1 Udinese 1-another hit.I seem to hit Lazio lately Treviso 1 Chievo 2-perfect score in the Serie A Athletic 0 Real Madrid 2-it's double trouble Osasuna 1 Zaragoza 1-Osasuna shot themselves in the foot Cadiz 0 Sevilla 4-we can go to sunny Seville and drink our way out Hearts 1 Aberdeen 2-blew up the joke Saturday, February 11, 2006 hahaha we've got friday night Championship going on Reading 2 Southampton 0-Imperious royals get a royal flush.perfect Dinamo Moscow has a new emulator.if you think Dinamo's plundering of the Portuguese Superliga is funny enough,there's this Polish team which bought SO many Brazilians,they can imagine it's some Campeonato Brasiliero team playing against Wisla and Legia so this is what happened Wisla Krakow:they've got the Australian international from National Bucharest and the Argentine who's reputedly the highest paid player in Poland.and the best players.that didn't save them from boardroom troubles actually Legia Warsaw:their local talent looks better,so they have more Polish internationals than Wisla.all is well there even if they moan that they don't have a lot of trophies Pogon Szeczin:there came a shipload of Brazilians from Rio de Janeiro,and Polish football will never be the same again.looks set for complaints if they field 11 of their Brazilians in a match Friday, February 10, 2006 more fixtures coming your way.and improved goals segment in ESPN includes Championship goals.we go one up and give you even more exotic stuff Rangers-Celtic-McLeish is gone by May,so rub it in by betting a Celtic 2-1 or 3-2 win Inter Milan-Juventus-this is so tough,I'm contemplating not giving any result.but on second thought,1-1 or Juventus 1-0 or Inter 2-1 sounds reasonable enough to kill Reading-Southampton-this happens in a few hours time,so here's a late night tip.Reading 1-0 or 2-1 is perfect Wigan-Liverpool-Liverpool aren't quite good away,so 1-0 Wigan sounds nice.not wait,2-1 to Pool can? Arsenil-Bolton-1-0 to Bolton as is traditional Villa-Newcastle-there's no guarantee the Magpies will heal by themselves without Souness,so 1-1 is a logical guess Everton-Blackburn-1-0 or 1-1 can already Fulham-West Brom-1-0 to...Brom.they ahve the potential to stay up Boro-Chelsea-Chelsea win 2-0 and adds fire to Boro's fast disintegrating season Portsmouth-Man U-Man U 3-1 is the best result given it's 90% strength Sunderland-Spurs-Spurs 3-1,even without Mido.Hasan Shehata is really a donkey.can't he learn patience like Martin Jol?bet he was emulating Ronald Koeman Man C-Charlton-2-1 again West Ham-Birmingham-1-0 should work Liverpool-Arsenil-Valentines day,so with love to all the red kop,1-0 to Pool.bye bye Arsenil Blackburn-Sunderland-1-0 and the Black cats are Black Burnt Lens-Lyon-Lyon 2-1 or Lens 1-0.wait on second thought make it 2-2 Nantes-Sochaux-1-0 and easy Strasbourg-Ajaccio-2-1.i really have no comments about 2 strugglers Monaco-Troyes-beware of self destruct buttons.yeah,so many,bet I'll put Troyes 1-1 or Monaco 1-0 Auxerre-Metz-3-1 or something Bordeaux-Rennes-1-0 again and it works here Le Mans-Nice-1-1 or to put it Nice-ly,1-0 to le Mans or Nice,depending on who's first Nancy-St Etienne-1-0 Marseille-Toulouse-2-1 and well,let's collect the money Lille-PSG-PSG 1-0?change the winning side St Etienne-Nice-another Valentine's treat.to tie in Nice-ly,2-0 or 2-1 to Nice will be enough to pay for your girlfriend's presents and the requisite meal at the Riveira Nantes-Troyes-2-1.if that's a double hit,then i'm so in love with the French League Wolfsburg-Berlin-2-1 to Berlin Schalke-Leverkusen-1-0 or 2-1 Duisburg-Gladbach-1-1 Bremen-Lautern-3-1 should work Arminia-Stuttgart-bye Trap,so 2-1 to Stuttgart Hamburg-Mainz-2-0 with van der Vaart back Frankfurt-Hanover-1-1 Cologne-Dortmund-2-1 Dortmund,or 0-0 Bayern-Nuremburg-3-1 is the most typical score for Bayern. Treviso-Chievo-Chievo will turn Treviso into asses.2-1 Lazio-Udinese-1-1 or 2-1 Parma-Ascoli-1-1 Livorno-Fiorentina-Toni scores again,so 3-1 Cagliari-Lecce-1-0 Sampdoria-Messina-2-2 or 1-0 Reggina-AC Milan-yeah,coming back in full force,2-0 should be workable Empoli-Palermo-1-1 or Palermo 2-1 Siena-Roma-3-1 to the Romans Osasuna-Zaragoza-1-0 or not a freak score Cadiz-Sevilla-1-0 to Sevilla Athletic-Real Madrid-freak scores aside,1-0 to real Madrid is the next thing in having Athletic in the segunda Betis-Deportivo-2-0 depor and Betis is in trouble Celta-Villareal-1-0 or 1-1.this is tough call Espanyol-Racing-1-0 Alaves-Malaga-1-1 Mallorca-Getafe-Getafe 2-1 Atletico-Sociedad-1-0 or Sociedad 2-1 Valencia-Barcelona-3-1 to Barca,or 2-2 or 1-0 Valencia.see who's first Brighton-Leicester-1-0 Leicester or 1-1 Cardiff-Stoke-2-1 Derby-Leeds-1-0 Leeds Hull-Norwich-Norwich 1-0 or 1-1 Ipswich-Burnley-0-0 or 2-1 Plymouth-Sheffield Utd-Sheffield 2-1 Preston-Luton-1-0 QPR-Millwall-3-1 to Millwall Sheffield Wed-Crystal Palace-Crystal Palace 2-1 Watford-Coventry-1-0 Wolves-Crewe-1-0 or 1-1 Exclusives 26/02:Fenerfarce-Besiktas(another firecracker from Istanbul) 22/04:TNS-Llanelli(another first.this time it's the Welsh League) 11/2 (Israeli league)Maccabi Tel Aviv-Maccabi Haifa-first ever Israeli fixture.I'm more of a Maccabi Tel Aviv fan,but having fallen on hard times,I think haifa is a better bet.1-0 or 1-1 will allow you a treat in one of Tel Aviv's big bank$(not water,silly.it's ca$h) (Scottish league)Hearts-Aberdeen-3-2 to Hearts and it's a jam packed deal (6 Nations)France-Ireland-France,back in their territory,will bering the whole fight to the Irish.I doubt the Irish can hold on after 55 mins (6 Nations)Italy-England-another thrashing is on the cards 12/2 (Czech league)Sparta Prague-Slovan Liberec-Normally on paper it would have been Sparta 2-0,but this time round,due to special circumstances,1-0 to Slovan is quite justifiable (6 Nations)Wales-Scotland-Wales are traditionally strong at home,so they will get their Brains working and win Scotland by a kick and 2 tries Thursday, February 09, 2006 degrees of blow job small:Scotland 20 France 16.oh yeah mighty French got turned into French toast medium:I forgot to update my Times in a long while.but if i were thinking about them I'd have lost all the money big:Monaco 0 Nice 1.if you think Monaco is a disaster team,spot on ultimate:Zaragoza 6 Real Madrid 1.Diego Milito slams 4 in and the Madridistas looks marooned in Zaragoza.add that to 4-2 over Barca and then Zaragoza are the real giant killers(that doesn't mean the rest are fakes,though) Roma 4 Cagliari 3-(Roma 2-1)damn heng sial.If totti didn't get his penalty in we'd be in trouble Lecce 1 Empoli 2-(Empoli 1-0 or 0-0)Lecce are down.that's for real Fiorentina 2 Inter Milan 1-(Fiorentina 1-0 if Toni scores,or 1-1)Surprisingly Toni didn't score.but I'd still be in trouble anyway Palermo 3 Lazio 1-(Lazio 2-1)sometimes forgetting is a virtue.maybe you're safe Ascoli 0 Livorno 0-(1-1 or 0-0)i missed that Juventus 1 Parma 1-(Juve 2-0)dropped points yet again.oops Chievo 1 Sampdoria 1-(Chievo 2-1 or 1-1).I'm more for a Chievo win,so that doesn't make a loss Messina 0 Siena 0-(0-0)ouch,one of the bigger misses Milan 5 Treviso 0-(3-0 Milan)rossoneri power sinks the doomed Treviso Lautern 2 Cologne 2-(1-1)deal's off Dortmund 2 Duisburg 0-(2-0 or 1-0)another miss Hertha 0 Bayern 0-(Bayern 2-1)bored the hell out of me,so was spared the agony of waiting for nothing to happen Mainz 1 Bielefeld 1-(1-1)another miss Hanover 2 Hamburg 1-(hamburg 2-1)ok,was lucky to miss it,or i'm dead Gladbach 0 Schalke 0-(Schalke 2-0)yawn Leverkusen 4 Wolfsburg 0-(Leverkusen 1-0)another freak score Nuremburg 0 Frankfurt 1-(1-1)blam! Stuttgart 0 Bremen 0-(Bremen 2-1)sian diaoz Aberdeen 2 Rangers 0-(Aberdeen 2-1)so powerful,it's game over for the Rangers. Hibs 7 Livingston 0-(no score).wah damn hiong eh Celtic 2 Falkirk 1-(no score).bet I was made to wait for Celtic to run off Monday, February 06, 2006 Barca is stopped yet again Zaragoza 4 Betis 3-still high after some Barca win,and so Betis is nothing Villareal 1 Cadiz 1-duffers aplenty Sociedad 2 Mallorca 1-lucky Sociedad Getafe 2 Alaves 2-still down Racing 0 Celta 1-not quite a hit,better than none Barcelona 1 Atletico 3-unexpectedly,Torres had a double and that turned understaffed Barca into toast Sevilla 0 Osasuna 1-hit again Inter Milan 1 Chievo 0-correct score,and then Inter had it wrapped up before they start shooting blanks Cagliari 4 Empoli 1-ah a freak score Fiorentina 1 Lecce 0-whatever the scorer they are certain to have Milan on the edge Livorno 2 Messina 2-toots Reggina 2 Palermo 2-another draw like 2-2 Sampdoria 1 Treviso 1-oh ya we forgot that Treviso isn't as crap as we think Juventus 1 Udinese 0-controversial enough,so they're lucky Lazio 0 AC Milan 0-still unlucky,they drew to crap tactics yet again Wolfsburg 2 Gladbach 0-ok lor,still can cope Hanover 1 Nuremburg 1-straight hit again Troyes 0 Marseille 1-not a goofy,that was heng Lyon 0 Bordeaux 0-erm haven't we been told that they used some stall tactics against the champions?gone case Chelsea 2 Liverpool 0-Reina got shown the red card and then the Chelsea riot police just resumed normal business Spurs 3 Charlton 1-another rideover match Porto 1 Braga 1-hit.this is good enough considering the other game Leiria 3 Benfica 1-imploded and in trouble Feyenoord 3 Ajax 2-in a phrase,Ajax's season can be written off Sunday, February 05, 2006 this is the tally for last night's stuff.being a football editor means there's a crucial element of instancy Birmingham 0 Arsenil 2-off target Newcastle 2 Portsmouth 0-Souness is a jinx.when he left,they win.Shearer too Man U 4 Fulham 2-not so easy after all,it's 3-1 only for 31 mins West Ham 2 Sunderland 0-we definitely hit Sunderland hard Everton 1 Man C 0-erm not counted as a hit Boro 0 Villa 4-Boro seems unable to save themselves West Brom 2 Blackburn 0-Brom are relatively 'powerful' at home Bolton 1 Wigan 1-another hit Ajaccio 1 Auxerre 0-what can you do in 7 mins?just panic Monaco 2 Rennes 1-Vieri goes on a field day PSG 2 St Etienne 2-chasing cars is a bad business.chasing 2 times just makes things go haywire Nice 2 Lille 0-screwed Sochaux 0 Le Mans 0-i'm gonna faint Toulouse 1 Nantes 0-same score,canaries caught crapping Lens 2 Strasbourg 0-we're half correct,literally Schalke 0 Dortmund 0-it was billed as an exciting Ruhr derby,yet they must have gift-wrapped the title to Bayern before/after plotting to draw Duisburg 2 Lautern 2-kinda forgot about the half Cologne 0 Stuttgart 0-yawn Bremen 4 Mainz 2-not counted as freak.considering that was really true,they did Bayern a favour yet again Hamburg 2 Arminia 1-I always hit at least one Bundesliga match.looks like this will continue Frankfurt 1 Berlin 1-back to back hits,especially for you Bayern 1 Leverkusen 0-they just about wrapped the salad bowl up for their annual salad fest Parma 0 Roma 3-go running around whacking everyone Ascoli 1 Siena 1-fortunately another hit Real Madrid 4 Espanyol 0-when the dinosaur opens their mouth,it's a handful for the Perico Malaga 2 Athletic 1-Athletic are really gone case Deportivo 0 Valencia 1-it's one back for the Los Che and I was lucky to win it Burnley 1 Plymouth 0 Coventry 2 Brighton 0 Crewe 3 Reading 4 Crystal Palace 1 Cardiff 0 Leeds 2 QPR 0 Leicester 1 Wolves 0 Luton 2 Hull 3 Millwall 0 Sheffield Wed 1 Southampton 0 Derby 0 Stoke 0 Preston 0 (roundup:Stoke hit and the rest are just time wasting,Reading are confirm promoted one) England 47 Wales 13-grand-slammed Grand slam champions get gored Ireland 26 Italy 16-that was a rare rugby win Sporting 1 Nacional 0-still needed in case Benfica and Porto stay clear Anderlecht 4 Genk 1-a resounding score,coming a little too late Thursday, February 02, 2006 we're hardcore champion wannabes.so we decide to give you so much hardcore action(including exclusive Coca Cola Championship matches) we'll turn all of you guys into hardcores.and Sparta lead the way in being hardcore after signing a Swiss.that's one up against Slavia's Brazilian(and Hungarian) Chelsea-Livepool-this is very big,and tricky.if Liverpool can win 1-0,they go a long way.if not 1-0 by chelsea will make everyone want to go to court.1-1 is the best result here Boro-Villa-2-1 or 1-1 Newcastle-Portsmouth-no more Souness.2-1 or Portsmouth 1-0.very rarely do i have to do such drastic measures West Brom-Blackburn-1-1 or Blackburn 2-1 West Ham-Sunderland-3-1 or 2-0 Birmingham-Arsenil-1-1 Bolton-Wigan-1-0 or Wigan 2-1.ok la,draw can lor.1-1 Everton-Man C-2-1 or Man C 1-0 if they're decent away Man U-Fulham-3-1 is easy enough.just don't lose again Spurs-Charlton-2-1 is easily attainable Charlton-Liverpool-1-0 to Pool is the way to go PSG-St Etienne-1-0 is nice enough Rennes-Monaco-2-1 or Monaco 1-0 or 2-2 Sochaux-Le Mans-Le Mans again.2-1 or 1-0 should be great Toulouse-Nantes-1-0 to Nantes Metz-Nancy-1-1 Ajaccio-Auxerre-Auxerre 3-1 Lens-Strasbourg-1-0 and so Strasbourg go down too Nice-Lille -1-1 or 2-1 to Lille Troyes-Marseille -2-1 Marseille Lyon-Bordeaux -1-0 should be good Schalke-Dortmund-Schalke 1-0 or Dortmund 1-1.not an easy job playing this one Duisburg-Lautern-1-1 or 0-0 Cologne-Stuttgart-2-1 to Stuttgart Bremen-Mainz-3-1 or not so insane freak scores Hamburg-Arminia-2-1.should work here again Frankfurt-Berlin-1-1 Bayern-Leverkusen-3-1 or 2-0 should be easy Wolfsburg-Gladbach-2-1 without d'Alessandro.or 1-1 Hanover-Nuremburg-1-1 Siena-Ascoli-1-1 Parma-Roma-2-1 to the Romans Inter Milan-Chievo-2-1 or Chievo 1-0.but i don't really recommend the second one Cagliari-Empoli-1-1 Fiorentina-Lecce-3-1 or 2-1 and Toni scores some Livorno-Messina-1-1 or 0-0 Reggina-Palermo-1-1 or Palermo 2-1 Sampdoria-Treviso-1-0 and wheeeeeee Juventus-Udinese-2-0 can do.or 2-1 Lazio-Milan-1-0 or Milan 2-1.they're damn unlucky,so feel free to decide the script Malaga-Athletic-1-1 is the best result Real Madrid-Espanyol-3-1 from behind?1-0 in a late scramble would work Deportivo-Valencia-another Copa del Rey encounter.so bring it on with 1-0 or Valencia 1-0,flip a coin to decide Zaragoza-Betis-on a high vs on a low.add Betis to Barca and 2-1 works here Villareal-Cadiz-2-0 or 2-1 Sociedad-Mallorca-1-1 or 3-2 Getafe-Alaves-2-1 would mean Alaves are down Racing-Celta-Celta 2-1 should be nice Barcelona-Atletico-2-0 or Atletico 1-0?not confirmed since Ronaldinho is suspended.will be a tough match to follow Sevilla-Osasuna-2-1 or Osasuna 1-0.can go either way Burnley-Plymouth-2-1 Coventry-Brighton-1-0 Crewe-Reading-Reading should do well to get away with 2-1 Crystal Palace-Cardiff-2-1 with Johnson scoring-yet again Leeds-QPR-1-1 or 3-1 Leicester-Wolves-1-1 Luton-Hull-1-0 or 1-1 Millwall-Sheffield Wed-2-1 or 1-1 Southampton-Derby-1-1 Stoke-Preston-Preston 2-1 or 0-0 Norwich-Ipswich-1-1 or Norwich 1-0 Sheffield Utd-Watford-we're damn sure of promotion,so 1-0 would work here (Rugby 6 nations-more scrum action) Ireland-Italy-10 points at most England-Wales-England winning by the odd try can be explored.or else a rare draw should work.not a neck to neck encounter Scotland-France-just smash them.they will do well to keep it to less than 20,though (crazy exclusives.this week-Portuguese Superliga double bill) Anderlecht-Genk-i think they'll win this time.2-1 should help here,or 1-1 is preferable Feyenoord-Ajax-we're damn particular about this big match.but too bad Ajax has nothing to fight for except pride,so expect no mercy at 2-1.meanwhile PSV's business continues Porto-Braga-this is super crazy now.3-1 to Porto or a more conservative estimate at 1-1 or 2-1 Sporting-Nacional-2-1 should do wonders,and expect the same person to score both.won't tell you anything yet,though (8/2 midweek action) Aberdeen-Rangers-time to rumble.1-0 to Rangers or 2-1 to the Dons looks good for a clean sweep at the Pools |
