I think it's a perfectly fine reason. I wouldn't pick them to beat Sunderland right now. OK, maybe I would. But I don't think they're going to win their matchup anymore. Oh well, if I end up being wrong and Arsenal does pull it out, then I've gained an advantage I guess.

Do you still want me to change the pick after Arsenal's 1-0 victory?

Double negative, I count that as a yes then. Real Madrid to win it is!

Nah, just kidding. The whole Maixmum Football thread makes me want to mock about everything.

fantastic flying froggies · 03-08-2006, 07:51 AM

Qualified for the quarterfinals, after last night's games:

Juventus
Barcelona
Villareal

MIJB#19 · 03-09-2006, 07:10 AM

Note: The elite eight playoff tree draw is on Friday, with 7 teams (AC Milan, Arsenal, Barcelona, Benfica, Juventus, Olympique Lyon and Villareal) and one tbd winner (Ajax or Internazionale). I won't post about it though, until after Inter-Ajax has been played on Tuesday. Reasoning being the quarterfinals, semi finals and final predictions traditionally being combined.

MIJB#19 · 03-10-2006, 07:43 PM

For reference, the playoff tree has been drawn and looks like this:

.../ Olympique Lyon
../\ AC Milan
./\/ Internazionale / Ajax
/..\ Villareal
\../ Arsenal
.\/\ Juventus
..\/ Benfica
...\ Barcelona

MIJB#19 · 03-17-2006, 02:29 PM

Knockout Phase Predictions!
Okay, time to move on to the last stages! Eight teams left, seven predictions to make. From the below posted playoff three, you need to select four semi-finalists, two finalists and a final winner. Picking the correct winner or a correct finalists will be pretty important on the points scale for the final rankings, because 40 points can be win in these last three rounds.

...../ Olympique Lyon
..../\ AC Milan
.../..
../\./ Internazionale
./...\ Villareal
|.....
.\.../ Arsenal
..\/.\ Juventus
...\..
....\/ Benfica
.....\ Barcelona

As an example, here's my prediction:
AC Milan beats Internazionale
Barcelona beats Juventus
Barcelona beats AC Milan

Butter · 03-17-2006, 02:38 PM

Semis:
AC Milan
Villareal
Juventus
Barcelona

Finals:
Milan v. Barca... Milan exorcises last year's demons, and win.

fantastic flying froggies · 03-17-2006, 02:46 PM

Semis:
Inter beats AC Milan
Barca beats Juve.

Final
Barca beats Inter

atatange1 · 03-17-2006, 04:10 PM

Lyon over Inter
Barcelona over Arsenal

Barcelona over Lyon

Perhaps a bit of a stretch, I just didn't want to go with the obvious Barca over Milan.

BreizhManu · 03-17-2006, 08:26 PM

Lyon
Inter
Juventus
Barcelona

Finals:

Final:

MIJB#19 · 03-19-2006, 10:13 AM

What is a powerful way to get some additional attention on a subject of a matter that requires a bit of insight by others in the same community?

fantastic flying froggies · 03-20-2006, 01:32 PM

bump?

MIJB#19 · 03-21-2006, 04:49 AM

Correct! That now means you're only 13 correct answers away from the one million dollar question.

Scholes · 03-21-2006, 07:18 AM

Lyon over Inter

Barca over Arsenal

Barca over Lyon

Critch · 03-21-2006, 07:24 AM

AC Milan beats Inter
Juve beats Barcelona

Juve beats AC Milan in the final.

And for a bonus point I'd like to predict that Inter fans do something during the AC Milan games that means they have to play behind closed doors for the first few games next season.

MIJB#19 · 03-28-2006, 12:01 PM

Last chance to enter the knockout phase predictions. 45 minutes until the quarterfinals kickoff!

Scholes · 04-05-2006, 03:38 PM

They're saying now that Arsenal won, they play Villarreal... which is different than all our predictions, we had the Barca/Benfica winner against the Arse/Juve winner.... uh oh.

fantastic flying froggies · 04-06-2006, 02:42 AM

2 out 4...man, I suck at this game...

MIJB#19 · 04-06-2006, 04:12 AM

Yeah, I just noticed the error too last night. It's Milan-Barcelona and Arsenal-Villareal. I'll try to come up with a way to fix it.

MIJB#19 · 04-06-2006, 04:38 AM

Reassignment of semi finals and final predictions!
I made a blunder in the set up of the playoff tree and have to act accordingly to make the predictions competition able to carry on. The good news is that most of the remaining predictions can stand, but for some I have to give people a chance to reset theirs' accordingly.

Predicted winners for the quarterfinals will stand, since those were unaffected by my error. I've also decided that predicted winners of the CL will also stand since I think that prediction is also unaffected by the error. In effect of that, predicted outcomes in the final that turn out to be semi finals matchups will not be allowed to be reset, they will roll over to being the semi finals prediction. So, basically the only thing people will be allowed to correct is the semi finals losers and the runner up of the CL. Listed below is what people may correct (marked with a *) or what is automatically reset (marked with a -).

MIJB#19
- Barcelona remains as winners
- AC Milan reset as semis losers

Butter_of_69
* Villareal may be set as either semis losers of losing finalists
- AC Milan remains as winners
- Barcelona reset as semis losers

fantastic flying froggies

* Barcelona may be set as either semis losers of losing finalists
* Naturally one of the two has to be set as losing finalists

Butter · 04-06-2006, 07:18 AM

I will set Villarreal as semifinal losers.

Scholes · 04-06-2006, 07:27 AM

I will set Arsenal as semifinal losers

atatange1 · 04-08-2006, 05:24 PM

Arsenal as losing finalists

Cards4ever · 04-09-2006, 12:45 AM

Arsenal as Semifinal losers.

bhlloy · 04-13-2006, 07:54 PM

Arsenal as losing finalists... I think

MIJB#19 · 05-18-2006, 12:43 PM

Well, with Barcelona beating Arsenal, I guess this competition is also over.

Bhlloy scored the perfect 40 points in the quarterfinals and onwards. Leading up to the following top 3 this round:
40 Bhlloy
30 atatange1
26 Fantastic Flying Froggies
26 MIJB#19

That leads us to the following final overall rankings for the 2005/2006 season:
64 atatange1
59 Bhlloy
56 Scholes
54 MIJB#19
51 Butter of 69

Congratulations to Atatange1 for scoring the most points. I hope to see you all back for the 2006/2007 season predictions competition and enjoy the World Cup this summer. And who knows, maybe I'll be hosting some WC predictions competition?

atatange1 · 05-18-2006, 01:16 PM

I'll be back to keep my title next year

. I hope you do have some sort of WC challenge. That should be a lot of fun.

BreizhManu · 05-18-2006, 01:54 PM

Hey, I tied last season's winner!
