Has anybody got one of those nice spreadsheets where you can fill the scores in and it updates the tables?

Yep.

Don't know whether this is exactly what you are after.

So for the Statto's out there.

Which Euro team has the most prem players and which team has the least?

I don't know the answer myself hence the reason I'm asking

but looking at it France looks like a contender for most prem players.

Went to the link, good one, But it's devastating seeing all the groups made up, all the draws, & we're not there, was hurt when we failed to qualify obviously, but it just seems to sink in more seeing this.

Right I've taken Frei @ 80's as my big value EW bet of the tourney for top scorer. I have Klasnic too but he may not even play all the games. Pity about Eduardo.

Frei was 100 on coral yesterday now cut to 50's grrrr so 80's on laddy's is best price. 1/4 odds EW 1-4 and he is the swiss pen taker. Being the home team and a tidy outfit, and the way the draw may pan out, they have a good chance of going well so it's worth a bet for me

PS, I think if any outsider wants to bag it they will need a fair few goals to outscore Klose who I will be lumping on.

Holland the value for the win 14's or EW (to reach final). 2/1 on group B most goals.

Pirlo, Deco and wesley Sneijder are the value for player of the tournament

LFC International – I like!

Luis Aragonés is a ****.
I so look forward to Vicente del Bosque taking over.

Sneijder

[jonesie]

Djibril Cisse left out of France squad, he's gone for Bafetimbi Gomis instead. Great name.

Is he the one that's been linked with Newcastle etc?

GOMIS PREFERRED TO CISSE

Djibril Cisse will have more time to play with his hair this summer after again missing out on a major tournament for France. He's been left out of Raymond Domenech's 23-man squad for Euro 2008 in favour of St Etienne striker Bafetimbi Gomis.

Marseille forward Cisse, who missed the 2006 World Cup after breaking his leg in a warm-up game, has been omitted despite the fact 22-year-old Gomis has only one previous cap for Les Bleus and has less stylish hair.

OM youngster Samir Nasri has been preferred to Lyon protege Hatem Ben Arfa, while uncapped goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, Nasri's club team-mate, is picked ahead of Paris St Germain's Mickael Landreau.

In defence, comedy duo Jean-Alain Boumsong and Sebastien Squillaci have been included ahead of Julien Escude and the injured Philippe Mexes.

The man who's had more loans than Natwest, Alou Diarra, and the UEFA Cup's new midfielder Mathieu Flamini were also cut from Domenech's preliminary squad on Wednesday.

Apart from the high number of inexperienced players in the squad, the big surprise is Domenech's decision to name Chelsea's Florent Malouda, who's utterly useless.

France kick off their campaign against Romania on June 9 before facing Holland and Italy in their remaining Group C fixtures.
