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

Hohum... let's have a few guesses here then:

Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Nantes (Rothen)
Bayern Munich 1-2 Werder Bremen (Klose)
RKC Waalwijk 0-2 FC Utrecht (Mols)
Galatasaray 2-0 Besiktas (Ribery)
Valencia 2-4 Real Madrid (Helguera)

Paris Saint-Germain 2 Nantes 1 Pauleta
Bayern Munich 2 Werder Bremen 0 Rensing
RKC Waalwijk 1 FC Utrecht 1 de Groot
Galatasaray 2 Besiktas 0 Sukur
Valencia 0 Real Madrid 2 Owen

PSG 2-1 Nantes (Pauleta)
Bayern Munchen 2-1 Werder Bremen (Roy Makaay)
RKC Waalwijk 2-0 FC Utrecht (Rick Hoogendorp)
In the big North London derby*... Galatasaray 1-1 Besiktas (Hakan Yakin)
Valencia 1-2 Real de Madrid (Rauuuuuuul)

*at least in my bit of North London

Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 Nantes - Pauleta
Bayern Munich 2-0 Werder Bremen - Makaay
RKC Waalwijk 1-0 FC Utrecht - Hoogendorp
Galatasaray 0-0 Besiktas
Valencia 0-1 Real Madrid - Owen

How do you think they'll maneuver the bench onto the pitch for Owen to score?

B

Oh I was waiting in the hope that no-one else would go for Pauleta. He's always done well for me in this game. Ah well:

Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 Nantes (Pauleta)
Bayern Munich 1-0 Werder Bremen (Pizarro)
RKC Waalwijk 2-1 FC Utrecht (Hoogendorp)
Galatasaray 2-0 Besiktas (Hakan Sükür)
Valencia 1-2 Real Madrid (Owen)

(Master C minus: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4313885.stm)

Paris Saint-Germain 0 v 1 Nantes (Keseru)
Bayern Munich 2 v 2 Werder Bremen (Guerrero)
RKC Waalwijk 2 v 2 FC Utrecht (Tiendelli)
Galatasary 1 v 1 Besiktas (Carew)
Valencia 1 v 2 Real Madrid (Solari)

PSG 1 - Nantes 0 (Paületa)

Bayern Munich 3 - Werder Bremen 1 (Pizarro)

RKC Waalwijk 2 - FC Utreht 2 (Mols)

Galatasaray 2 - Besiktas 0 (Sakur)

Valencia 0 - Real Madrid 1 (Ronaldo)

Ormy - your link backs up your point, but when Owen has rarely scored when he's been rewarded for a scoring performance as a subsitute with a start in the next game. I think that might even have been the first time.

By the way, am I the only one to think that the Guardian column on Mondays - "Habla Espanol? Con Jonathan Woodgate" - is genius?

I stopped buying the Grauniad during the week. I found that I never had time to read it.

And nowadays of course, I don't have the money to buy it

There's alway s the library GD.

I read a report that Luxemburgo might consider starting Owen insteal of Raul because of his high goal scoring ratio from the bench.

Paris Saint-Germain v Nantes 2-1 (Pauletta)
Bayern Munich v Werder Bremen 3-0 (Mackay)
RKC Waalwijk v FC Utrecht 1-0 (Hoogendorp)
Galatasaray v Besiktas 1-1 (Carew)
Valencia v Real Madrid 1-0 (Baraja)

Yakus.

Is it just me being a sad (fortunately lapsed at the moment) CM01/02 geek that made me say "Oh, THAT'S where Rick Hoogendorp's playing at the moment" when I looked at the Waalwijk website?

Anyone with a name like Hoogendorp has got to be taken seriously.

B

I'm sick - any chance of Pools Panel please.

McKay's pools panel results are as follows:

Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 Nantes
Bayern Munich 0-0 Werder Bremen
RKC Waalwijk 2-0 FC Utrecht
Galatasaray 0-1 Besiktas
Valencia 1-0 Real Madrid

With one scorer point.

A couple of very big scores this week, with one player starting a serious march up the table, and another relaunching his bid for the title

I deem this week to have been a success. Good solid performances from many of the 16 who turned up to play. There was one abject failure however, Master B is our UKIP candidate for the competition - he knows nothing of Europe, and cares even less.

So to our winners. Ormondroyd, your 14 points from five games is one of, if not the, highest score not to win a round. The honour of winner this week goes to todd_abraham87 with a stunning 16 points
