Title: It All Went Quiet In The Market Tavern ..
Post by: (S)ALTY on September 18, 2014, 10:33:05 AM

.. when Boateng's late goal  sunk Manchester City to save a few blushes for the 13 entrants in the TASC Champions League Prediction Competition who predicted a Bayern win.

The first round of matches in the TASC Champions League Prediction competition were completed last night (Wednesday)

After the first 4 of the 8 Matchday 1 fixtures played on the Tuesday evening only 1 person correctly predicted the 2-1 Liverpool result despite 17 out of 18 going for a Liverpool win.

No one correctly predicted Real Madrid's 5-1 demolition of Basel despite 17 out 18 going for a Real victory.

Similarly no one correctly predicted Dortmund's 2-0 win over Arsenal.

The largest number of correct predictions was the 1-1 draw between Galatasary and RSC Anderlecht with 5 people picking up a maximum 4 points.

The Tom Marshall Fan Club took an early lead with 10 points followed by Hardly Athletic on 9 points and United On The Up with 8 points.

The second night of matches saw City and Chelsea joining the action along with Barcelona.

Surprisingly not one entrant predicted an all correct score in the matches played on the Wednesday evening.

Whilst all 18 predicted a Barcelona victory over Apoel no one predicted the 1-0 score line.

Only 1 person correctly predicted Chelsea to draw at home but unfortunately they went for a 2-2 score line.

Athletico Bilbao's 0-0 draw with Shaktor Donetsk again failed to deliver a fully correct score prediction although 6 people went for a score draw.

So after the first round of matches, its the Tom Marshall Fan Club who lead the way with 14 points with three teams tied in second place with 12 points and a further four teams with 10 points each.

The second round of matches take place on 30 Sept / 1 Oct with Manchester City at home to high scoring Roma, Barcelona at PSG, Arsenal at home to Galatasary, and Chelsea and Liverpool away at Sporting Lisbon and FC Basel respectively.

The full leader board is as follows:

1   Tom Marshall Fan Club   14
T2   United On The Up      12
T2   Hardly Athletic              12
T2   Rainman's Mugging Foxes   12
