jonthebhoy Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Roll up! Roll up! Welcome to the Champions League RWG Prize Pool. “What’s this?” I hear you ask. Well it’s another competition where you can win a fair bit of cash and help out RWG financially as well. “How does it work?” you are asking. (Jeez….what’s with all the questions?) It’s simple really. $20 gets you into the game. Pick a team that you think will win the Champions League this year. (Some of us will just want to support our own team for the hell of it…..c’mon the Celts!) The winner will be the person(s) who has selected the Champions League Winners 2006/07. “What if more than one of us has selected the winners?” you smartly ask. Well, quite simply, the pool money is shared. “What if nobody has picked the winners?” you quickly retort. (You’re a real clever [censored], aren’t you?) In this case it will be the entry(ies) with the team that has progressed farthest in the Champions League. RWG will receive 10% of the accumulated Prize Pool.

docblackrock Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 No prizes for guessing my entry “Good day, Number Six.” “Number what?” “Six. For official purposes, everyone has a number. Yours is number 6.” “I am not a number, I am a person.” Oh ok then, here's another subtle clue (aside from my avatar ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docblackrock Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Do you want a slice of lemon and some angosturas with your pint of vinegar Edgey? Actually if we are being pedantic we won it 2 years ago, 23 years ago, 26 years ago, 29 years ago and 30 years ago also....but hey who's living in the past And talking of strange events, what about Lehmann? Hmmm, now I wonder who was the last goalie to be sent off in a Final and condemn his team to ultimate defeat? What? Never ever??? Are you in then? Gooner must be...

Edge Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Excellent boss more wasted money to grow the fund for the eventual winner lol. JTB I need an alternate payment method, as I can't do PP. @Doc How DARE you call me a gooner!!!!!!! I wholeheartedly admit that the pool WERE a good side back in the day, however 2 years ago they were crap and I really hate the fact that a crap team can win the chapions league. Especially when the DID NOT score against chelsea lol. I am a loyal fan of Gianfranco Zola's Barmy Army, and have been for 20 years, the Heart's thing I have got to admit to as well, although sometimes I try to keep it on the DL. Especially when they go down to 9 men and have about 60 mins to play trying to qualify for CL. Now we're gonna get papped oot o UEFA anaw, thats pash.

Aaah, now it all becomes crystal clear, a Chelsea man - excellent, some decent sport at last! I give you kudos for being an old skool Chelsea fan (Zola was class) rather than the abomination that exists down the New Kings Road these days. Oh and you're right, we did not score against you in that SF....but only because Cech decided to throttle Baros as he rounded him and was about to score. Penalty? Sending off? Ah well, bygones my friend. As for HOM, yes I'm afraid early elimination from the UEFA Cup is part of the pattern - as I said, the Everton of Sco.....

Edge Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Have to say that I have been a CFC fan since for a very long time about 20 years, my grandad was a fan and so is my father so it's a family thing, and I have been to Stamford Bridge and watched some of the worst football teams imaginable, and yes chelsea have had some bingins. We were always a side capable of beating anyone in the world on our day but unfortunately somewhat unpredictable, as they would regularly go out and lose to the worst teams in the league. I hate walking down the street seeing random people who are now chelsea "Fans", when they have "supported" them for about 10 mins, makes me sick how fickle footy fans are. For me the money has been a good thing, but the main thing it has brought is consistancy, which was he major lacking factor. However it has also brought Sheva and Ballack so can't complain at that either lol. Let's be honest though none of our teams are winning the CL. Can anyone say, Real Madrid??? Barca?? or even Inter? Fancy Real now that cappello has tought them to be structured and be able to defend lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Interesting POV Chris, know a few of your lot, the old school, and they admit to a sense of unease akin to being on a runaway train that's exciting and better than the old wreck they used to travel on, but a greater fear of what will happen when it crashes. Agree about the 'new fan' thing though I think this will be a very open tournament, anyone of the top 8 can feasibly win it, although there's always another Porto or PSV or Villareal waiting in the wings. The dark horse could be Lyon I fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I too must admit to a sceptacism about where we are headed. The money and Roman's patience for his whim tht is Chelsea is bound to end, and when it does there will be an innordinate amount of debt and a wage bill bigger than most clubs transfer budget.

Everythingape Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 -sigh- I'm an Arsenal-supporter, been one all me life! I do not expect them to go all the way in the CL this year, as Wenger is counting a lot on young talent.. ..again. This years start of the Premier League is not very promising, but I know that come christmas, The Gunners will be eating pork rinds in the top 3 as usual. I'm thinking Man U -chills- or Barca for the cup, but I dunno. I'll have to ponder this until the 11th or so.
