Looks a lot of fun No one do it bare footed ?

I think the ripples in the sand might be a bit painful on the plates of meat if you tried it barefoot

Tim Sherwood to be replaced as Tottenham manager at the end of the season. Louis van Gaal 5/2 on favourite to be the next manager

I liked Sherwood's enthusiasm and his willingness to take risks, though sometimes he was a bit naive.
It might take van Gaal a couple of seasons to get the team going according to his c.v. but would he be allowed that by Daniel Levy?

Hughton sacking was an obvious gamble by Norwich that the "new manager effect" might get them enough points to be safe.

Well done Chelsea
I didn't give them much of a chance believing PSG would at least get a goal. Probably why I don't bet

Well you're not alone in your lack of football predictive skills, Jose predicted a final aggregate score of 4:3 Pah what does he know...

Sherwood was too outspoken.. he was on a hiding to nothing.. the way the top 4/5 are now you cant sack for one bad season. look at Everton, they could have sacked Moyes when he had bad seasons but he eventually got them stable in that top 6/7..

It'll be interesting to see how they go, reliant on loan signings..

Mourinho is class, you have to like him. It's actually pretty open, I'd make Bayern or Madrid favourites but everyone seems to be tumbling so quite fancy Chelsea to do a Chelsea..

What about United? City were 2-0 down in Munich and won 3-2. I don't see why United can't upset the odds.

Bayern had won the group...

I think we can go through but would say its 70-30 in Bayerns favour..

Not quite true. If City had scored one more goal they would have won the group and Bayern would have been runners up!

That was never going to happen.. :-)

I think we can do it but they are the favourites.. but who would have put money on dortmund almost getting level with madrid, BD have been shit this year..
