I PMd everyone listed in the op but a handful haven't responded. One or two messaged me to say they dropped out, but I also just sent the sign-up link out to two others so they won't have joined the league yet.

If anyone wants to join then there's still time before tomorrow. If anyone is struggling for money or needs to delay just PM me. You can still put your picks in on superbru now and join any league at a later date so don't worry too much about having the money in before the tournament starts.

^  Prolly having second thoughts after not doing well in the EPL pool...  I did too tbh.  Lol.  I already got like 5(?) losing side bets around the forum.  Lolol.

Just joined the pool and gave my tips guys - cant wait for the new CL saison and now even more so - even though my team didnt make it this year! Thanks again for setting this up hilariousetc.

Hello everyone,,, I am hoping to do better this season with my predictions, but I do not expect my team to go far again (Spurs), even last season was a miracle for us, just too bad we had to meet the best team at the time, I know we could beat City means we could beat anyone else.

All depends now on the tenacity of our men and if Kane can as usual keep himself injury free.

Good luck:)

Mad respect to Liverpool again for beating my team, but for your sake and mine, I hope we don't meet again (until the final I guess!).

I see a lot of bright prospects for us, with or without Neymar. PSG also seems to give him an ultimatum but I would like to think Messi is wiser and older and knows every campaign better so I have very high hopes.

Good luck everyone. I didn't participate in the other pool because I found out I really suck at English league but let's see about this CL!

^  And your club is?  Spurs?

hilarious...  I think it would be fun to post who supports which club for the CL at the first page or at least who they think could win the CL.

I chose Olympiakos just because I am Greek and unlike most of my compatriots, I support other Greek teams internationally... even though we actually "hate" Olympiakos, haha... I am AEK by the way... Pathetic last season but wait for us to be back in our new awesome stadium!

Right then, boys!

I bet a 9/1 outright on Liverpool to WIN champions league last season so I see no harm in another $10 on them. Odds only 7.5/1 at Fairlay though. Interesting odds is for Bayern and Red Star to progress to Last 16 at Spur's expense: 14/1.

@toke: I suspect we see more Liverpool fans this year than other years =p

Me I'm satisfied with Liverpool/Barca parlay 5/1. For now. Definitely potential for upsets tonight, as bookies give home advantage a lot of gas in betting. Ajax were rather poor at home last season I recall, so Lille at almost 7/1 seems tempting.

Good luck to everyone. Serious things are about to start.

My opinion (for what it's worth) on the French teams:
- Don't overestimate Paris. You can count on them to screw up in 1/8 or 1/4. And with Neymar suspended for 3 2 matches, M'Bappé and Cavani injured and Icardi only playing 30 minutes, it's not going to be pretty against Madrid.
- Don't underestimate Lille, they are young, inexperienced, but there are good future players (Osimhen?) and (at home) they can create small surprises.
- Lyon, it could be 50/50. Either it's all good or it's all bad.

In other words, it's not this year that a French club will be raising the cup with big ears again.

I am thinking a lot of goals in Dortmund-Barca game and Germans not loosing this one. If I were sure Suerez and Messi will not play today I would put a nice amount of money on it but in this situation it will just be a part of parley for small stake.

Now with the start of Champions League we have a full compliment of football leagues available to us. Damn it was a long summer, i think I am addicted to high level club football.

Does anyone can send me the invite link,,, I must have missed it but it is my fault for sending payment late I only did this today.

Games start in 15 minutes and I should put my scores in now I guess:)

Halab you are correct about french teams I believe Lyon is as good as PSG, especially with key people not participating.

I have just sent you the link via PM! Hurry =)

[leea-1334]

Thank you for the link I tried to do it quickly but it kept not saving and then the matches started but it is ok. For the record, Inter and Lyon Win 2-0 each;) I think both games very few chances, many mistakes!

Good luck everybody,,, get your thinking caps right!

Looks like we will all be having a great start with Slavia winning in Milan, right? ^^

Even though you are a compatriot, I am sorry to say you are only here to spam the forum with your link mate... Sorry, nobody will click it...!

Totally not my intention bro! But it would be fun if someone would challenge me! Cheers!!

Slavia play very good specially in second half but Injury time goal give something to cheer I was also sure Slavia is going to have all 3 points but its surely disappointing for them.

So, Liverpool still has a problem to play outside of UK and against non-PL clubs. For me, a completely unexpected result of Napoli vs. Liverpool. Also, I expect more from Dortmund, but they should be happy with zero goals in his net and one point.

All in all, some unexpected results really... 0-0 BVB vs Barca... millions have placed bets on many many goals and lost lots of money today.
