I'll be running two battles per day & the 10 vote mercy kill rule will apply. I'm also banning fence sitting; there will be no abstaining: you have to have an opinion!! Any abstentions will null and void your other preference for the day.

Right, first out of the hat:

1. Sydney FC v 2. Luton Town

3. Derby County v 4. BATE Borisov

 

[Johnners]

Luton & Derby

Would like to ask for a ban on negative voting as well?

They're all two horse races, so a negative vote is just a vote for the oppo, essentially.

 

[Johnners]

It does indeed, so...why the need for it? Gets my goat, tis all, although I'm probs the only one.

EDIT: Yeah, I'm being pedantic I know, but it's what I do

[Uppercut]

Luton & Derby, do you vote, Brumby, or just cast deciding votes? Your reasons for voting tend to be quite interesting.

 

[grecian]

Ohhh, toughie first up a bunch of crims against a team that beat us this season. I think because of David Evans & Mike Newell, I'll go Sydney FC, even though I know precisely zilch about them.

Derby County because they've done little to offend me.

 

[Simon]

1. Sydney FC
4. BATE Borisov

Going to vote against all the English teams where possible unless I actually like them.

 

[Indipper]

Luton, because Sydney FC are instantly disqualified for not being Sydney Croatia/United & Borisov because they are 'sponsored' by a tractor components factory.

 

[33/3from3.3]

Luton
Derby

 

[NUFAN]

Luton, Because of their Airport and it's against Sydney FC, no way could I vote for them!

FC BATE Borisov Respectable team who has managed to make the Champions League this year, while Derby were the LA Clippers of the 90s, a complete joke in the EPL 07-08.

 

[Burgey]

Sydney

and

Derby

Yeah I agree with this, even though it'll help Arsenal's chances..
