GOOD LUCK ALL!

Some pro-Robin bias, huh?

*Considers not entering this week, so he can end up with a mythical 42 points...*

B

Actually, with 30 points available, I could 'conceivably' win, but it's not terribly likely.

B

I should have said "those who have a reasonable chance opf winning. And Robin did request a Kingz game whwn everyone was saying which team they'd like to see.

As promised in a previous weeks, all my first scorers this week shall have silly names.

Cowdenbeath 0-2 Berwick Rangers (Burke)
Everton 1-0 Blackburn Rovers (Rooney)
Welshpool Town 1-1 Llanelli (D'Auria) - ex Scunthorpe player
Ajax 2-3 PSV (Vaart)
Juventus 1-1 Lazio (Oddo)
South Melbourne 0-1 Auckland Football Kingz (Almendra)

My word - is that South Melbourne page the slowest-loading website ever, or what?

B

yay thanks egon. thats fab. don't have time at the mo to look up all those teams, i'll get back and post some results later.

goes away smiling at the thought of the kingz beating melbourne

Well, it's only fair. I understand they're on a roll, and you did all predict Scunthorpe to beat Hull.

B

Cowdenbeath 1 - Berwick 1 (Brown)
Everton 1 - Blackburn 0 (Radzinski)
Welshpool 0 - Llanelli 0
Ajax 1 - PSV 2 (Kezman)
Juventus 2 - Lazio 1 (Di Vaio)
Melbourne 0 - Kingz 2 (Urlovic)

fingers and toes are crossed. at least i can watch the kingz game which will make a change

good luck everyone

Ah well, here goes. May the best pundit win!

Cowdenbeath 1-2 Berwick (Burke)
Everton 1-0 Blackburn (Campbell)
Welshpool Town 1-0 Llanelli (B. Kinsey)
Ajax 1-1 PSV (Kezman)
Juventus 2-2 Lazio (Claudio Lopez)
South Melbourne 2-1 Auckland Football Kingz (Damianos)

The Blue Brazil 4-1 Berwick rangers (Graeme Brown)
Everton 1-0 Blackburn (Tommy radzinski)
Welshpool 2-3 Llanelli (David (?) D'Auria)
Ajax 4-0 PSV (Mido)
Juve 3-3 lazio (Allesandro del Piero)
South melbourne 4-4 Football kingz (That Damianos fella, he'll do)

Aye. 'Tis indeed David D'Auria. He comes from Llanelli, so presumably that's what he's doing playing there, when he is capable of a far higher standard of football.

B

Did he ever play for Hull, or am I thinking of Duane D'Arby?

Nah - that was the Cat's alter-ego in Red Dwarf, wasn't it?

I believe Mr. D'Auria, like most ex-Iron players (those that don't go to Gillingham, leastways), rather annoyingly played for Hull, yes.

B

Midfielder, innee?

It's jsut that if he's a midfielder left or centre I think I once signed him on Champ Manager...

Damn foolish move - he's crap on CM3.

I'm managing Motherwell at the minute. Stephen Pearson in a big creative role in midfield. Currently valued at 18 million!

B

It was CM2 and I was Cowdenbeath manager.

Probably excusable, then.

B

I signbed most of my stars on loan from Coventry for christ's sakes.

Motherwell was the sort of team where you could only get decent players by signing old stars. One season, I had Desailly, Bergkamp, Zidane, Djaminha and Lizerazu all playing for me, but they all retired simultaneously, depleting the squad somewhat.
