This is a suggestion for the Guardian people: how about a separate competition for the CL?

Good idea! (And may I add that The Magic Band was never the same after you left, sir.)

Actually, I'm not the real Zoot Horn Rollo. It's just a nom de plume. I was just having a bit of a laugh, cos that's the type of person I am. If you're interested, my real name is Wesley 'Midnight Hatsize' Sneijder.

Anyhow, if the Guardian folks do set up a CL Pick the Score, the campaign for the inclusion of the apostrophe starts here.

notZoot, you can't have these apostrophes: I'm saving them up for future use.

Marmaduke -- you've got a pair of quotation marks passing themselves off as apostrophes in the middle there. Numbers 26 & 27, I think.

That's in case I ever have to quote you on that.

That’s a hell of a challenge for the ‘Guardian People’, they are still struggling to sort out the PTS bugs

Or the standings, ffs.

I wrote that it was a nom de plume, but I meant 'nom de keyboard'.
Right, that's got this thread back to the top.

Zollo - BAYERN!!!

No english teams to do anything. If you play AC Milan watch out...very good team even if the best player is named after sheisse.

Yes, I think Bayern will do very well in the UEFA cup this season.

oh. Not the same?

No, we tend to call them UEFA and the CL (Champions' League) even though they're both UEFA really.

HAHAHA!!!!! Im ok now. Thank you marmoset for making me straight. I did not know this thing. Who do you support then? I want to meet new peole here, so I support Bayern and AC Milan. Please dont tell me Man U?

Hi Onkel, I come from Leeds so I'm finding it difficult to support them, or anyone else, but I will watch and enjoy any team that's playing good football. Whether it's Liverpool or Man U or Arsenal. I rarely enjoy Chelsea though, they're really not my style.

You don't love BALLACK!!!!?

No, a distinct lack of ball really.

Hey Marm, do the Kaiser Chiefs still pay Radebe's wages? (no offence to Der Unkle mentioning the word "kaiser")...

If the Guardian dont do it, a site that I am a member of will be doing the Champions League predictions. They also have a free to enter prediciton game with a £100.00 prize.
Have a look at www.theangrygrandfather.com

It is funny this Kaiser Cheifs. I like predicting riots too!!!!

UNcl3 Tr3aCl3 is funny. He wrote 3 columns in this article. Couldn't spell in 2 of them. If his predictions are as great as his articles, whoever he supports will end up in last place.
By the way, UNcl3 Tr3aCl3, who do you root for?

I think he likes Bayern...at least that's what all his posts say.

And vespucci...he's a German living somewhere (London?), so maybe he's just trying to use English. The only major error he's made (aside from linguistic ones) is saying that Bayern will win the Champions League...maybe some slack cutting would be in order?

Root for, what maens that?

like, who you support...

Ah! Than I am not rooting for this vespuchi person. Monkey, you were correct with the warnings!

Told ya, man...

I was thinking that ''roots for'' was meaning like Pigs! Please to forget this thing, no? I had a Dog called Westpütschen a very long time ago. So very sad, it makes me homesad, this name Vesputchi.

Even spells my name wrong Only thing close to him is a Wiener. Hotdog anybody?

Stop this idle chit-chat! I'm trying to see if the Guardian and anybody else are interested in setting up/participating in a 'Pick the Score' for the Champions' League.

Chill, Zoot! The idle chit-chat keeps bumping the thread back to the top...

Zoot, Ded Revil somewhere near the top of this thread, mentioned that he doubted that the Guardian would be up to another game right now. They seem to be having enough problems handling this one. But try by all means. There's an admin address at the bottom of the FAQs - and some information about the curious world of PTS in the Frequently Unanswered Questions Team thread, which has probably sunk down to page 2 by now.

I've found one or two German-language sites where you can even win things, but I'd like to play merely for fun (or sex).
This would be the most interesting thing in the entire history of the universe!

Let's keep the Germans here...great comedy relief.

Marmoset
So you are from Leeds, eh?
Do you want to talk about the health, welfare and standings of Leeds (football club?)
You must be their sole remaining fan -figures!

No, the Kaiser Chiefs are massive fans as well. And Ken Bates.

and my mate Ade and Prickle

Isn't that two mates then? Strange name if not. Or is he a pub, like "The Pig and Whistle"?

Hey Simiam
Are you that animal that snorts and whistles?

No, I'm the one that walks upright, carries a Blackberry, drinks tea, watches football, and reads classics.

Which of the classics do you read?
The decline of Liverpool?

Recently? Xenophon's "Anabasis".
