Anyone know where to find results from the Greek league? I can't seem to find them at any of the regular sites I go to. I actually did well with my picks for the Spanish wild card games, which is surprising given that I really don't follow La Liga at all.
Actual results for week #8 were: Sat-Mon 5-7 Oct 2002 - Premiership Middlesbrough 2-0 Bolton Wanderers Newcastle United 2-1 West Bromwich Albion Southampton 2-0 Manchester City West Ham United 1-2 Birmingham City Fulham 1-0 Charlton Athletic Arsenal 3-1 Sunderland Aston Villa 0-0 Leeds United Blackburn Rovers 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea Manchester United 3-0 Everton Oct 6, 2002 - Greece & La Liga Aigaleo P-P Iraklis ** Akratitos P-P PAOK ** Mallorca 2-0 Espanyol ** Rayo 2-2 Villarreal ** Real Sociedad 2-1 Valladolid ** Unfortunately, Greek Cup games intervened so their league games weren't played. No points will be given for these matches.
