Happy Champions League 20:43 - Feb 11 with 1480 views | wessex_exile | Right then folks, apologies but a bit rushed because life has sort of caught up with me on a number of fronts, but the 4 mini-league groups for the qualifying rounds have been drawn, as follows: Group A --------- Gate Sevebalo MFB Group B --------- Thrillseeker Guerno Blue4U2 Group C --------- Eagle BFG Tropical U's Group D --------- Hellasblue Aldo Ethics Top two from each Group go through, and the fixtures as follows: TUE 12 FEB 2013 Valencia v Paris SG Celtic v Juventus WED 13 FEB 2013 Real Madrid v Man Utd Shakhtar Donetsk v Borussia Dortmund TUE 19 FEB 2013 Arsenal v Bayern Munich FC Porto v Malaga WED 20 FEB 2013 AC Milan v Barcelona Galatasaray v Schalke 04 TUE 5 MAR 2013 Borussia Dortmund v Shakhtar Donetsk Man Utd v Real Madrid WED 6 MAR 2013 Juventus v Celtic Paris SG v Valencia TUES 12 MAR 2013 Barcelona v AC Milan Schalke 04 v Galatasaray WED 13 MAR 2013 Bayern Munich v Arsenal Malaga v FC Porto U'sual Prediction League rules apply, 3pts for spot-on, 1pt for outcome and tie-breaks determined by number of spot-ons and then first to post. All matches kick-off at 1945, so I leave it to individuals as to whether they want to bang in straight away for all picks (and therefore first to post) or hold fire to wait and see how first-leg matches turn out. Good luck all. (P.S. If anyone's interested, I used the RANDBETWEEN(1,4) Excel function to get the groups) [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Happy Champions League on 15:29 - Feb 12 with 852 views | noah4x4 | Ever since 2005 (Liverpool), the holder of the (real) European Champions League automatically qualifies for the following year. So as the current holder of the even more prestigious "9th Happy Champions League" (despite my relegation to Division One), don't I get automatic admission to defend my title? Evidently not - so having been denied the chance of winning it three times (and hence keeping it) have melted the cup down for scrap! | | | |

Tell you what Noah, so far we only have 6 qualifiers signed up with predictions - if we don't achieve the 8 minimum to go through to the next round, you're first reserve. | |

Okay, Judge Rules needed Mr Haps and Pete - I am prepared to accept Blue's Celtic v Juve prediction, in the firm belief that he must have hit "post" comfortably before Juve's first goal went in - and had he not chosen to display his nerd-like tendencies by showing appreciation for my Excel nerdness, even earlier. I am happy that no material advantage has been sought or gained, but I defer to you guys for final ruling. | |

I'll do an update after tonight's games, but at the moment you're only 1pt behind Thrillseeker and Blue4U2, so all is not lost. At the risk of doing Noah out of his first reserve slot, if you're in contact with Alderney you might want to give him a nudge too... | |

Thanks for your understanding - to be honest I hadn't noticed the time, just pleased to have noticed the post at all as I don't usually go online midweek ! Maybe if it hadn't taken three attempts to log on and then my "nerd" comment - my post would have made it on time! | | | |
