Posted May 28, 2007 I can see there being rather intense competition to start the season 07/08 thread. Go for it too early and it gets locked, leave it too late and some other fucker beats you to it. More tense than La Liga! But in the end, of course, I will be the winner... or of course the mods/admins could just rename this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 28, 2007 actually the Spanish league is producing one hell of a finish, up until last weekends fixtures 4 teams could still win it, now its any one from 3 with Real, Barca and Sevilla seperated by 2 points if Real win their last 2 games they win the league, Barca have to win both theirs and hope Real drop points, Sevilla can win the league if they win both and both Barca and Real lose 1 of their games if Real and Barca are equal at the top Real win the league due to superior head to head, Sevilla have the better of Real this way and Barca better Sevilla, it then would get really complicated if all three teams were equal at the top Yeah I've been keeping track of it all closely... I used to support Barca as a kid, cos this spanish man worked with my dad and gave me a Barca flag, but I kinda want Real to win I think it would be nice for Becks to pick up a trophy he has been in such excellent form (whether he should be in the England squad again is another matter) EDIT: La Liga is the best league in europe in terms of who can possibly win the title, you have Barca, Real, Sevilla and Valencia who will have started the season thinking they can win the title and then also Villereal and possibly even Zaragoza, A.Madrid who think they could get Champs League Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have it all typed up, ready to hit submit as soon as the fixtures are announced on SSN But I found my bagsy: I'm glad Chelsea won, West Ham better do the right thing and get relegated! I reckon that that American tycoon will buy Arsenal, causing the Daily Mail to go into overdrive about how the Premier League is turning into the NFL with all these American owners! Oh my god! There would be 4! ARGH! Bagsy me make next seasons thread, heh heh heh. If somebody called dibs or bagsied something, you can't go back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah sorry I got it wrong it's 4 Players Anyway here are the answers Dean Saunders - Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and Benfica Ronaldo - PSV Eindhoven, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid Pierre Van Hooijdonk - Celtic, Forest, Benfica, Feyenoord Laurent Blanc - Barcelona, Marseille, Inter Milan, Manchester United Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2007 I had Ronaldo and Van Hooijdonk. Right then, an easy one for you. Who is the only player to have played in the Conference, all divisions of the Football League, the Premier League, the UEFA Cup, the Champions League, and the World Cup finals? At least I think there's only one guy that's done it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 29, 2007 Finnan, Lemme guess you watched Premiership Preview the Other Week? Seriously though thats a pretty incredible feat, he is so underated Steve Finnan it's scary Lol, no I've known it for ages. But I did get it off the telly at some point, you're right. Quite an amazing little fact though, isn't it? I bet, when he was playing for Welling United, if you told him one day he'd be a Champions League winner and will represent his country in the world cup, he'd have laughed at you.

If you do have the best midfield it obviously isnt good enough. Sorry, are there no trophies in your cabinet this year? jk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
