Champions League Predictions!

OK guys, great result at the weekend! And just to make sure we are learning from the best the Champions League starts TONIGHT! I want to know what team you think will make it all the way to become Champions of Europe in 2010? The final takes place in the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid, Spain: May 21-24. Unfortunately, Celtic won't be there this time as they are in the Europa Cup ;o( So, will it be the usual suspects from Current Champions Barcelona, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal ( arrgghh ), Chelsea or Real Madrid ( at their home ground )? Or will one of the "smaller" teams make a surprise breakthrough?

I can't get all the teams up there for a vote but I'll put up the favourites and if you think some other team will do it then vote for "Other" and tell us who you think it will be and why in no more than 500 words.....





When Celtic were the Best!

    So we're playing Clinton this week and not H-K? Clinton is "A" Division??
    We should go to another league.....

    Judging from the table that is attached to your email, Clinton has vastly
    improved! (11-2 record) Should be a good game.

    talking to one of their players, most of Clinton players are now Brazilians and they have won most of their games last season. I am also told they have an excellent goalie.

  14. behroozSeptember 15, 2009 at 9:27:00 AM EDT

    This Sunday we are scheduled to play against a new Clinton/Brazilian team and this is a Home game for us. The game will be played at Janssen field I or II at Madison High School. We have to start the game at 9:15 and be done and off the field no later than 11:15 am. So, please be there no later than 8:45 am for warm up.

    Thanks

    If Barca repeat they will be the first team to do this in the Champions League! Was done many times when it was the old European Cup.....

    I can't promise to be as diligent and thorough, and dedicating my entire Sunday afternoon and night, as you have done, but between the Strap and myself we'll weave the pieces of a storyline together.....others can contribute as well if they feel so inclined!

    Did Celtic win yesterday? Oh, that's right, they didn't make it out of
    the initial stage.......

  25. connecticutceltSeptember 16, 2009 at 9:39:00 AM EDT

    ha! ha! you are a barrel of laughs!.... not. I guess you support one of those famous Dutch teams like RKC Waalwijk, or NAC or ADO Den Haag! that's right I've never heard of them either.... anyhoo, Celtic are playing tomorrow night against Hapoel Tel Aviv in Isreal...they better win!~!

    If they don't beat that team, they should be "relegated" to play only in Scotland.....

    Well here we are --- Clinton in the A Division........

    This week you mention you can only get the field early -- we have the
    best field at Indian River (the floodlight field) booked. Can we move the
    game to our field at the regular time of 10:00am. I'm cc George on this.

    Let me know ASAP -- Thanks -- Alec

  36. behroozSeptember 17, 2009 at 7:10:00 PM EDT

    Gentlemen I think we should play at indian river. Much better field and its regular time 10 am. I have to let manager of Clinton know this evening. I talked to him and he said the field is very nice and even. Unless I hear opposition to the idea I will go for it. Tom please let Enrique and Carlos know. I guess we should vote.

  37. jodinhoSeptember 17, 2009 at 7:11:00 PM EDT

    I'll vote again for myself, and once for John, Kevin, Rohan, Tom J., and
    Tim.....6 votes total to play at Indian River!

    We have a majority vote! Indian River it is!
