Big scoring on the games last night with three perfect scores (@Darren Peacock’s Ponytail & @I am Groot - Sevilla-Arsenal and @mustyfrog - Benfica-Real Sociedad). Pool A still led by @ToonArmy1892 but @I am Groot now only 1pt behind. Pool B now sees @mustyfrog open up a 6pt lead over @JakartaToon and @Darren Peacock’s Ponytail 's 14 means there is only 4pts between 2nd and 4th in the Pool of Death. @Albert's Chip Shop fails to predict and is now 4th person.
@ToonArmy1892 and @I am Groot stretching their lead in Pool A. Pool B more exciting with 5pts separating the 4 players. Fixtures for next round: Tuesday 7th November Atlético Madrid vs Celtic Borussia Dortmund vs Newcastle United AC Milan vs Paris Saint Germain Manchester City vs Young Boys Wednesday 8th November FC Copenhagen vs Manchester United Arsenal vs Sevilla PSV Eindhoven vs Lens FC Red Bull Salzburg vs Inter Milan
I think we should merge the 2 leagues and just have the best 4 go through. The current system allows for dead wood to make the semi finals, just like the embarrassing NZ v Argentina mismatch in the rugby world cup.
It’s a bit damning when the 4 best points scorers are in Pool B. But I don’t like these systems that are designed to favour the big boys. We don’t want Obi winning everything.
It’s not a sprint race. Don’t go Chaos on me. Let’s see what the scores on the doors are at the end of this part. #fullpicture
