I'll be along sometime before the closing date.

Wolfsburg 1-3 Hertha Berlin (thiam)
Atalanta 4-4 Como (Doni)
Motherwell 1-2 Aberdeen (sheerin)
East Auckland 5-3 Manawatu (heath McCormack)

Egon says 'I'll be along sometime', and one hour later posts his predictions...

Lemme guess - essay get boring?

B

Either that or he wasn't giving us much time to prepare ourselves for his earth shattering predictions

B- got it in one.

I can read you like a book.

B

Ah, just finished saud essay, with a whole two hours to spare

About the Middle East, was it?

B

*mutters to self*

*SAID* essay, *SAid* essay

OK...Let's see how I manage with teams I've never heard of before:

Lierse 0-3 Lokeren (Beule)
Wolfsburg 1-1 Hertha Berlin (Marcelinho)
Atalanta 4-1 Como (Zenoni)
Motherwell 1-0 Aberdeen (Offiong)
East Auckland 2-2 Manawatu (Damn stupid website's bust)

Much more intriguing than any of that was the note on the Belgian page that: "Charleroi awarded 5-0 victory due to financial difficulties"

Is that how Leicester finished so high, then?
