No one here is a stranger to the regular battles between
Dayokanu and Sauron. I remember the mod created a  thread
for them where they can battle.

I want to take the "fight" and "competition" to a more
direct route.

I call it the Champions league challenge.

@ Sauron and Dayokanu,

Which teams will qualify for the next stage of the UCL.

You don't need to predict the scorelines. Just tell us
who will upsatage the other over two legs.

We'll all see the results in 2 weeks (obviously).

The prize for the winner is $100.

Arsenal v Roma

Atletico Madrid v FC Porto

Inter Milan v Man Utd

Lyon v Barcelona

Chelsea v Juventus

Real Madrid v Liverpool

Sporting v Bayern Munich

Villarreal v Panathinaikos

ENTRY CLOSES TUESDAY 24TH FEBRUARY 2009. 19:45 GMT

Dayokanu get special secret weapon, he will surely win.

THis should be fun

Akinalabi,

Nice concept.

What happens when we have a tie?

What I want all English teams to be eliminated but that might be a long shot.

I would come up with my predictions after consulting with the Elders (Okijajuju, Banom, Lagosboy and jakumo).

Watch this space.

@ Akinalabi,

I am not really good with predictions but i will give it a go!!!

Arsenal v Roma

Arsenal [/b]will wrap this one.
Their passing game is suited for European games as their opponents won't put men behind the ball like Stoke and Sunderland.
If they can get their injured players up n running, it's a done deal for Wenger's goons.

Atletico Madrid v FC Porto

[b]Athletico Madrid should see this off too.
They have so much arsenal in their kitty not to blow Porto away unless something synonymous to the Biblical miracle happens.
Aguero, Forlan, Sinama Pongolle with Coupet in goal would be too strong for the Portugeezers.

Inter Milan v Man Utd

The tie of the round by a mile. The Champions of England locking horns with the Champions of Italy.
I will have to go with Man Utd on this one on the basis of their home form. 12 league wins and a draw at OT all season.
They have not failed yet to score at home in all competitions this season so the pendulum swings their way.
Inter Milan(Under Mourinho) have lost to 2 weak teams in the UCL group stage to shit teams like Panathanaikos and Werder Bremen.
In ma mind, i can see United seeing this off comfortably.

Lyon v Barcelona

Barcelona are UCL favourites but on current form(after dropping 5 points in the last 2 games), anything can happen.
The trio of Messi, Henry and a new-improved Etoo would be too much for Lyon
I will have to go with Barcelona on this one.
Lyon were shit against Bayern Munich at home and if the Nazis could score 3 goals in France, Barca would get SIX!!!

I would drop the other predictions tomorrow.

How are we getting paid?? Escrow or CHAPS or WU??

~Sauron~:

How are we getting paid?? Escrow or CHAPS or WU??

I've been thinking about this. .  .

You live in the UK, Dayo lives in the US while I live in Naija.

For you, we have two options. One is to ask a friend to deposit
into your account. The other option is to chill till I come over.

For Dayo, this is a tricky one as I don't have a relation or close
pal living in the US.

@ Dayo,

Do you run a Naija bank account so I can deposit the Naira
equivalent or do you have someone you've been planning to
give money to so I can give to the person? 

This option is open to Sauron as well.

Arsenal v Roma = Roma

Atletico Madrid v FC Porto = Athletico Madrid

Inter Milan v Man Utd = Inter Milan

Lyon v Barcelona = Barcelona

Chelsea v Juventus = Juventus

Real Madrid v Liverpool = Real Madrid

Sporting v Bayern Munich = Bayern Munich

Villarreal v Panathinaikos = Villarreal


I am going against all English sides here. These are my final prediction

cool concept. 
But Dayo i think Man U will be too much for Inter.

Soldier, its obvious have gone incommunicando! Little wonder, i didnt know youse now a Mod!

Man, its been rough and rumble in Hoosier land, wrapping up a lotta shyte and tryna get married like comrade 4play!!!!

Where 4play @ again?

David, i cant just tip any English side. I go with my head. ALL EPL sides out!!!!!

dayokanu:

David, i cant just tip any English side. I go with my head. ALL EPL sides out!!!!!

Your anti-EPL passion is so compelling that you think the EPL 4 would all bow out ignonimously?

Even though people here discuss on how you rave @ the EPL. Have never for once questioned ur analysis, not for once! simply because a lot of it makes sense and a few are incoherent gibberish.

Your statement above is an exact prototype of what i call "Nattering Nabobs of Negativism" _{apologies to Agnew Spiro}

All em 4 EPL bow out? Na yam abi na beans wey dem dey cook for Ipetumodu or Angola hall in Ife?

@rikkyyen,
whatever

He's locked up in ma basement.

Good as the Serie A is, all their teams can't go into the Quarters. Bad as the EPL is, all their sides can't go out like that. Methinks over two legs, Man utd can beat Inter. Not because I'm a man utd fan, because of the level of performance of both sides. For once in a very long time, Fergie has the whole squad geared up in all competitions, even the lowly Carling cup. JM is good, noone can say that enough but i'll be surprised if they beat Utd over 2 legs. It's only a blind and highly optimistic person that would bet against Arsenal on their day. Same goes for Chelsea, Liverpool is made for Europe.
All in all, UCL springs surprises. Just ask AC Milan or any boy above 10 years old in Turkey.

Noted!

@ Sauron,

You've not completed your _coupon

Chelsea v Juventus

Chelsea under Hiddink will TRY to prove their doubters wrong.
Even Avram Grant managed to beat Valencia @ Mestella Stadium last season after his appointment.
The personnel at disposal in Chelsea will be too much for Juventus. They are brimming with confidence at the moment.

Real Madrid v[b] Liverpool[/b]

Liverpool are European game masters. Their high tempo football would blow Madrid aside.
I expect em to go through and with Torres bang on form with the brutish nature of Mascherano, Madrid have no chance.

Sporting v Bayern Munich

This will be the shock of the round.
I am tipping Sporting Lisbon to upset the Nazis.
Bayern have been disappointing since Bundesliga resumed after their winter break.
Dropping points they shouldn't be losing and they are very low in confidence now. Sporting would thump em.


Villarreal v Panathinaikos

Villareal are difficult to break down on their day.
They are a very technical side and with Marcos Senna dictating the play in the middle of the park, Pana would be blown outta the water.
Rossi, Pires, Senna and Cygan are all gonna have their hands full though.

Son, must you and DayoKanu deliberately create a circus

Now, its you taunting the Nazi maybe cos he said Inter would chase United outta the San-siro!  

But son, lets be fair! Inter do have the balls to cause an upset for us. . .But Sporting Vs Bayern is a mis-match!. Expect this off-form Bayern to blow 'em off!

I see Y'all got mad love for yourselves.

@ Dayo,

This is not a circus. . . . .This is WAR!!!!
How can Bayern beat Sporting Lisbon??
They will be disgraced like Zenit mashed em last season.

But son, lets be fair! Inter do have the balls to cause an upset for us. . .But Sporting Vs Bayern is a mis-match!. Expect this off-form Bayern to blow 'em off!

They can upset but United's defence is a PLUS. The team Mourinho trounced in 2004 was too inferior to what we have now.
Caroll/Howard in goal. . . . . .Kleberson and Djemba-Djemba in the midfield.
Abeg, we would pulverise Inter.
