...as in he of Match of the Day fame and I think he played for Newcastle.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...

Sorry I've not been around lately folks. A short break and swotting up on my TFF Champions League teams has taken it's toll on my blogging so I'll try and get back on track with only a week to go before the big kick-off of the competition.

Having now had a good look at the fixtures I reckon this is gonna be one mighty tough competition to win. There's hardly any certainties I can see from the first knockout games and having studied hard I've based my second entry on the sides I've reckoned will be there at the end from the beginning of this Champions league campaign. I've obviously had to throw in a few players from the cheaper end of the market to make up the numbers and these guys could prove real bargains having produced the goods during the group stages. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you...

CHAMPIN' AT THE BIT

Victor Valdes- Barcelona

Sergio Ramos- Real Madrid
Carles Puyol- Barcelona
Lilian Thuram- Barcelona
Marcelo- Real Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo- Man Utd
Lucho Gonzalez- Porto
Julio Baptista- Real Madrid

Carlos Tevez- Man Utd
Darko Kovacevic- Olympiakos
Luis Fabiano- Sevilla

So there you have it. I'm fully expecting Man United, Barcelona and Real Madrid to be still in there come the semi-finals and two of those sides, fixtures permitting to meet in the final in Moscow on the 21st of May.

...as in Nat Lofthouse

Two weeks and counting...

With only a fortnight to go until the Champions League is back with us I'm gonna get down to the serious business of starting to swot up before picking the £20k winning team for the TFF competition.

I'm going for three entries into this competition and decided that team No1 would be randomly generated by the TFF computer. Here's the line-up I was presented with...

BLOGGERS UNITED

Petr Cech- Chelsea

Rio Ferdinand- Man U
Eric Abidal- Barcelona
Gokcek Vederson- Fenerbache
Gael Clichy- Arsenal

Michael Carrick- Man U
Arjen Robben- Real Madrid
Massimo Donati- Celtic
Mahamodua Diarra- Real Madrid

Lionel Messi- Barcelona
Emmanuel Adebayor- Arsenal

On first impressions I'm quite impressed by what the TFF boffins have presented me with. There's only two players who are due to meet in the next stages and the majority of them are players with teams I fancy to make the next round anyway.

With Barcelona due to face Celtic, Massimo Donati has to go. Not only is he not getting a regular start with Gordon Strachan's side but I strongly fancy Barca to return to Glasgow, after already facing Rangers' and really go to town with the Scottish Champions.

The other player who may not last the tests of time is Fenerbache's Vederson. Though the Turks kept three clean sheets in qualifying Sevilla will provide a tough test but I may stick with him for the home leg and make a change when the second leg is played.

I'd also like to welcome Mr S Bilsbury who becomes the first player to join my Super League. Don't forget to get your team entered using the log in...
