h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A true set of overseas games this week. The main reason being that I won't be around next Saturday, so I can allow a little time for the results to filter through and then mark them at my leisure on Sunday.

If however Ormondoyd, as he regularly does, spots that the BBCi European Football section (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/default.stm) has buggered something up in the fixture list, as it regularly does. Then the game will be off as far as this round is concerned.


Paris Saint-Germain v Nantes
Bayern Munich v Werder Bremen
RKC Waalwijk v FC Utrecht
Galatasaray v Besiktas
Valencia v Real Madrid


All predictions to be in, as usual, by 12noon on Saturday, 5th March

I know comparatively little about any of these teams, I have to confess.

Although this has not previously hindered my talents.

Paris Saint-Germain 0-0 Nantes
Bayern Munich 1-2 Werder Bremen (Zidan) [No! Not that one!]
RKC Waalwijk 0-3 FC Utrecht (Tiendalli)
Galatasaray 1-1 Besiktas (Carew)
Valencia 1-3 Real Madrid (Raul)

Why do Beckham's goals get listed by the BBC as 'DRJ Beckham'? Is there another 'D Beckham' that we should know about?

Just to help you out a bit this week. Here are the official club websites for all 10 of the clubs in the week nine list. Some have English translations of the site, some don't. But even if they don't, it can't be too hard to make sense of a set of match results in a foreign language, now can it

Well, thanks. That'll be of real use in making my predictions.

It's hardly my fault if you're going to be that quick to get it all over with

I forget otherwise. See weeks 6 and 7.

B

It's called planning your time ahead. Surely that is something you now know lots and lots about these days

Well, unlike some, I have a lot less free time for this sort of thing.

Bog off

Touché

No Belgian game?

Belgian games? Yes, I expect we'll have one or so before the end of the season. I'm also looking tentatively across the Atlantic to what is going on in America. Their season starts in a month or so's time
