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

Here's a new idea for you all to chew on. In a side-issue (ie no points in the main league for it), I'll be running a who's-going-to-win-things prediction league. DEADLINE FOR ENTRY-END OF AUGUST (hence no charity shield)

So, five points each for:
1) English Premiership Champions
2) Scottish Premier Legue Champions
3) Champions League Winners
4) UEFA Cup Winners
5) FA Cup Winners
6) Scottish FA Cup Winners
7) Worthington Cup Winners
8) English Division One Champions
9) Italian Serie A Champions
10) Spanish Priemera Liga Champions and
11) German Bundesliga Champions

So, deadline end of August people. Good luck.

My mind's a bit warped right now by a summer of Championship Manager, but here goes:

1) English Premiership Champions - Liverpool
2) Scottish Premier Legue Champions - Celtic
3) Champions League Winners - Valencia
4) UEFA Cup Winners - Inter
5) FA Cup Winners - Leeds
6) Scottish FA Cup Winners - Rangers
7) Worthington Cup Winners - Fulham
8) English Division One Champions - Wolves
9) Italian Serie A Champions - Roma
10) Spanish Priemera Liga Champions - Real
11) German Bundesliga Champions - Dortmund

What's the summer for if not championshsip manager?

Summer!

I've been addicted to the bloody game since September. Might have got a better degree if it wasn't for my efforts to take Scunthorpe into the Premier League by 2010.

In fact, come to think of it - that's probably why you haven't got any other entries yet. Everyone's quickly running a season of ChampMan to see what that predicts - it's much more accurate that Mark Lawrenson.

B

Is that the current season one you're playing? I bought that when it came out and me and my flatmate used to stay up til 4am playing it (I'm at university- nothing better to do!)

My greatest triumph so far was to win the 2007 Premier League and UEFA Cup with a Wigan Athletic team feturing Figo and Rivaldo.

So, five points each for:
1) English Premiership Champions - Man Utd
2) Scottish Premier Legue Champions - Celtic
3) Champions League Winners - Real Madrid
4) UEFA Cup Winners - Ajax (they in<?&gt
5) FA Cup Winners - Liverpool
6) Scottish FA Cup Winners - Rangers
7) Worthington Cup Winners - West Ham
8) English Division One Champions - Ipswich
9) Italian Serie A Champions - Juventus
10) Spanish Priemera Liga Champions - Barcelona
11) German Bundesliga Champions - Bayern

Egon - see new thread for ChampMan discussion (avoid clogging this one up ).

So, five points each for:
1) English Premiership Champions - Man Utd
2) Scottish Premier Legue Champions - Celtic
3) Champions League Winners - Inter
4) UEFA Cup Winners - Leeds
5) FA Cup Winners - Arsenal
6) Scottish FA Cup Winners - Rangers
7) Worthington Cup Winners - Leeds
8) English Division One Champions - Millwall
9) Italian Serie A Champions - Inter
10) Spanish Priemera Liga Champions and - Barcelona
11) German Bundesliga Champions - Munich

Hmmm, maybe:

Premiership - Man U
Scottish Prem - Celtic
European Cup - Real Madrid
Uefa Cup - Inter Milan
FA Cup - Man U
Scottish FA Cup - St Johnstone
Worthington Cup - The one, The only, LEEDS UNITED F.C.
Div. 1 - Coventry
Serie A - Juventus
La Liga - Valencia
Bundesliga - Bayern (we cheated in 1974) Munich

1) English Premiership Champions - Liverpool
2) Scottish Premier Legue Champions - Rangers
3) Champions League Winners - Liverpool
4) UEFA Cup Winners - Leeds
5) FA Cup Winners - Liverpool
6) Scottish FA Cup Winners - Rangers
7) Worthington Cup Winners - Chesterfield
8) English Division One Champions - Sheffield Wednesday
9) Italian Serie A Champions - Inter Milan
10) Spanish Priemera Liga Champions - Barcelona
11) German Bundesliga Champions - Bayern Munich

It's just occurred to me that I really ought to clarify my guess of 'Real,' seeing as the Primera Liga has three teams of that name. I did of course, mean 'Real Madrid'

Skatman: Millwall, eh? Three games, no goals...good luck!

B

As I'm sure you all want to know, my guesses are:

1) Arsenal
2) Celtic
3) Real Madrid
4) Ajax (are they in it?)
5) Everton (I'm an optimist)
6) Rangers
7) Everton (told you I was an optimist)
8) Gillingham (my Grandad supports them)
9) Inter Milan
10) Real Madrid
11) Bayern Munich

For the benefit of the uninformed, I believe everyone's favourite floor-cleaning team (Ajax, that is), are in the process of qualifying for the UEFA cup.

Everton to do the cup double, eh? You've got to hand it to the native Scouse wit...

B

1) English Premiership Champions - Man U
2) Scottish Premier Legue Champions - Celtic
3) Champions League Winners - Real Madrid
4) UEFA Cup Winners - Not really sure who's in this one - Alaves?
5) FA Cup Winners - Leeds
6) Scottish FA Cup Winners - Celtic
7) Worthington Cup Winners - Liverpool
8) English Division One Champions - Wolves
9) Italian Serie A Champions - Roma
10) Spanish Priemera Liga Champions - Real Madrid
11) German Bundesliga Champions - Bayern Munich

UEFA cup is a bit hard, with the Champions league rejects coming in afterwards...

Sprout

1) English Premiership Champions - Arsenal
2) Scottish Premier League Champions - Celtic
3) Champions League Winners - Real Madrid
4) UEFA Cup Winners - Porto
5) FA Cup Winners - Chelsea
6) Scottish FA Cup Winners - Celtic

8) English Division One Champions - Portsmouth
9) Italian Serie A Champions - Juventus
10) Spanish Priemera Liga Champions - Real Madrid
11) German Bundesliga Champions - Bayern Munich

3) Champions League Winners - Arsenal
4) UEFA Cup Winners - Celtic
5) FA Cup Winners - Chelsea

8) English Division One Champions - Sheffield United (well one lives in hope anyway)
9) Italian Serie A Champions - AC Milan
10) Spanish Priemera Liga Champions - Barcelona
11) German Bundesliga Champions - Bayern Munich

Note GreyDesk's cunning in waiting until _after_ the closing date before submissions.

Note equal stupidity in believing Chelsea or the Blades will win anything.

Great quote from Danny Baker in the Times, called Chelsea the 'perennial exploding clown's car of the Premiership'

Brilliant

B

Now look here, I don't think that any of the potential winners would have become any clearer in the 22 hours that I was over the deadline. (Except of course the SheffU for champions result )

Anyway my excuse is that I was away for the weekend with the new gf, so was otherwise occupied, as it were

Didn't stop you posting on...hmmm...July 11th, did it?

Master (Why didn't Kuqi score _first_) B
