The champions!

Advantages: All the top european teams, great european nights

UEFA,THE CUP' and Champions League predictions!

Advantages: Dogging!
Disadvantages: Dogging!

...…… An away goal early on should tie this one up for Liverpool if they play that way. Sit back away and go a goal down and the world is a very different place. I still think Liverpool are the better team by far here and should make the last 8.Gerrald is the man for me to score that goal with one of those stunning half volleys. If they can win this trophy and secure forth spot then Houlier can survive. Without silverware the five year plan looks beached. Just as a place in the champions league is his incentive to keep pushing it’s also a carrot to attract another big manager. If the Mick’s can jemmy Ferguson out of Old Trafford and get O’Neil in then maybe the genial Irishman will except second best at Liverpool. NEWCASTLE (1) 3 VALARENGA (1) 0……4-1 win agg…… Live SKY 7-45pm. After a scrappy under...

Uefa champions league

Advantages: sound
Disadvantages: fifa 2005 based

....Computer based football simulation games...Uefa champions league 2004-2005 hit the stores.So what?Who needs another football simulation when fifa and evolution pro are already there?Well the point is that EA sports is trying to get some more attention after Evo pro dominated in the battle for the best football game.They just released another fifa based game with some minor changes(the name of the game).Lets see what have they done there. The first thing that really impressed me was the soundtrack.Yeah...bonobo , LCD soundsystem , Swayzak etc.Its the first ever soundtrack for a football game that didnt include mainstream looking guys like Tiesto.I really liked that so i proceded to the start new game thing hoping to be impressed there too. The main part of this "another EA game" is the season mode.You are able to create your manager (face...

Total Football

Advantages: The best teams in Europe are brought together in one tournament, great standard of football played, always exciting and there are often one or two shocks
Disadvantages: Tottenham don't play in the tournament

...-Introduction- The UEFA Champions League is Europe's premier cup competition and has been so ever since its creation in the 1992/93 season. It replaced the European Cup, a tournament with such a rich history behind it. The change is said to have taken place, in order to modernise the tournament and the inclusion of a group phase was welcomed. The Champions League is very topical at present and I have thought it necessary to give a bit of background on the tournament, a look at the players and teams over the past 13 seasons and also to look at where it may go in the future. -Competition Format- In its short existence, the actual Champions League format has undergone numerous changes. The tournament has always included Europe's elite teams, in the first season only 8 teams took part compared with the 32 teams that began this...

Champion supermarket

Advantages: good stock
Disadvantages: none

...Champion is the second largest supermarket chain in France. They are one of the Carrefour group. Champion supermarkets are also in other countries Belgium, Spain, Poland, Greece and Turkey and in South America, Argentina, Brazil. But I have only shopped in them in France. The first store opened in October 1969 in Bayeux France. Champion supermarkets are much like other large supermarkets I guess. There is a large store in Calais and Champion sell brand name items and their own label items too .They sell household items for cleaning, other household items too brushes , crockery , toiletries ,dairy products, meat fresh vegetables tinned food , chilled foods , ready made meals , frozen foods. Wine. Several familiar British goods are available Lots of things more than I remember. The items for sale are displayed fairly well...

Review of Champion, France

THE CHAAAAAMPIONS...

Advantages: European showcase becomes England-only tempting more money to our League
Disadvantages: Little competition for England makes for less high-profile players

...Originally founded in 1955 as Europe's premiere football competition, the European Cup as it was known then was renamed the UEFA Champions League in 1992. Whilst the competition sees 76 teams from all over the continent enter, since 1997 the CL has been operating under different guidelines that mean being the champions of your country does not mean you shall receive instant qualification and rather bigger name teams will enter the competition automatically ahead of those domestic champions of lesser footballing nations. This rule allows four Champions League places in the English Premiership, and only in 2005 did controversy begin to surround this as Liverpool won the competition however failed to finish within the qualifying positions for the following season. UEFA ruled that five teams from England would compete in the following...

Review of UEFA Champions League 2007/08

We are the champions

Advantages: feel in control
Disadvantages: blocky on close ups

...champions league is a realistic challenger to the fifa crown but is not trying to beat fifa at its own game because its set its stall out for sheer playability. The ball dont stick to your feet and you can play a telling pass into space for players to run on to. and you really feel in control of the games so I can play my trademark kick and rush and bring success. Fifa are you listening, your boys took a hell of a beating, winston churchill maggie thatcher... this is good but by no means the finished article....

Champion

Advantages: Superb kids book
Disadvantages: simple

...I’m terrible, granted not the best introduction to a review, but it’s true. I have no will power whatsoever, my local Tesco has a charity table on the outward door with books on it. Books for me are what Donuts are for Homer Simpson, “hmmmm books”, so you can imagine what I’m like walking past a table full of dodgy old paperbacks going for a small charitable donation. The trouble is I never find the time to read them. I try to be strong but when I saw Roald Dahl’s Danny Champion of the World I couldn’t help myself, I justified myself by thinking I’d write a review on it, so this is my justification. Danny was my favorite book as a kid; I think I bought it from the puffin club for about 15p. I managed to pack it in over a couple of days on the train; I did get a few strange looks...

Review of Danny the Champion of the World - Roald Dahl

  The League Of Extraordinary Excrement

Advantages: well-directed, attractive, great concept
Disadvantages: shoddily scripted, badly plotted, some terrible acting

...Call it arrogance. Call it stupidity. Or perhaps attribute it to the death of the wonderful Alexander Walker, without whose expert guidance I am left floundering on a sea of cinematic confusion. Whatever it is, it amounts to me being convinced that it's worth seeing a film that has been universally panned since I might like it after all... or maybe not. Actually, let's be fair. It's not that I didn't enjoy myself watching The League of Extraodinary Gentlemen, it's just that enjoyed myself for almost entirely the wrong reasons...

Review of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (DVD)

SIMPLY CHAMPION

Advantages: Beautiful story and Characters
Disadvantages: Don`t be daft it`s by Roald Dahl

...and your J.R.R. Tolkiens, Roald Dahl is the undisputed king of the writing world with Danny the Champion of the World (DTCOTW) amongst the best of his work. The book has so many elements to it that it needs repeated reading just to appreciate them all. On the surface DTCOTW is a tale of poaching pheasants and outsmarting a spoilt bloated land owner, but beneath the surface it is about the complete love between a father and his Son and the joys and troubles of raising a child as a single parent. Danny is bought up in a caravan poor in fringe comforts yet rich in love and happiness, his father always involving him in any tasks or adventures he can think up thus strengthening the unique father/ Son bond. At one point in the book Danny is caned by Captain Lancaster while at school, when his father finds out his anger is unquenchable, with a good...
