The Football Thread

"...intelligence doesn't make you a good footballer. Oxford and Cambridge would have the best sides if that were true. It's a football brain that matters and that doesn't usually go with an academic brain. In fact I prefer it when it doesn't. I prefer players not to be too good or clever at other things. It means they concentrate on football."

IMO its all set up for the big one in Turin

 

Shakhtar - 7 pts

Chelsea - 4

Juventus - 3

Nordsjaelland - 1

 

Wednesday, Nov. 7:

Chelsea vs. Shakhtar

Juventus vs. Nordsjaelland

Next results--

 

Chelsea - 7 pts (beats Shahktar)

Shahktar - 7

Juventus - 6 (beats Nords)

Nordsjaelland - 1

 

Then--

 

Shahktar - 10 (beats Nords)

Juventus - 9 (beats Chelsea)

Chelsea - 7

Nordsjaelland - 1

 

Then--

 

Juventus - 12 (beats Shahktar)

Chelsea - 10 (beats Nords)

Shahktar - 10

Nordsjaelland - 1

 

That's IF Chelsea lose at Juventus and beat Shahktar and Nords at home. That's IF Juventus wins out. If Chelsea can nick Juve for a draw and a point, that would be huge. If the above plays out and the final day sees Juve and Shahktar draw...hmmm...scary.

 

Very little room for error now. It'd be nice if Nords could draw with Shahktar.

 

This is the worst case scenario. It would be massive if we win or draw away to juve.
