The 1999/2000 FF Cup (Echo). It's free for everyone. To refresh on the history have a click on the gleaming trophy (It isn't a a picture of The Cartel Cup anymore, really it isn't).

The format this year is three groups of 4,4 and 5 teams respectively. The qualifying date is Tuesday 30th November's table and the top 4 teams that date go into Group A, places 5-8 into Group B and the rest into Group C Each team will play each other, 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and the semi finals will then consist of the winner's from Group A and Group B, and the 1st and 2nd placed team in Group C. Group A winner will play the runner-up in Group C, Group B winner will play Group C winner. For futher inspiration see last years Cup which is almost identical, only 2 groups.

So there you go, Bloomers wins the FF Cup by virtue of Smith not
paying attention and leaving 2-goal-Ljungberg out again. I would
say well done, congratulations and all that, but no-one likes him.
