Nowadays it’s a bit more serious than that, with the second tier Premiership sides mixing it with Europe’s best and erm, well, lesser well known.
If fact half of the attraction nowadays is spotting the European sides who are so obscure they hardly dare speak their name, as one mainstream sports hack recently found out.
So by way of an intro here’s the Spurt’s cut out and keep guide to some of the more fanciful sides Portsmouth and Man City could be knocked out by this season.
Mentalist Karkiv
Much fancied Ukranian XI who are known to field a starting line up of in-patients and the occasional lycanthrope in goal. They’ll fancy a run to the semis if the medication holds out.
FC Cluggor
Second division Romanian outfit known for their robust, hefty and occasional life-threatening tackling. The FO advises bringing along plenty of substitutes, spare blood supplies and even pre-packed donor material.
Upstart Vladivostok
Noveau riche Russian side formed from the ashes of the USSR’s Spetnatz brigade. Supporters paint their arses blue and bare them for the famous Upstart Roar at kick off. Carefully positioned rooftop snipers makes timing your run on goal just that little bit extra tricky.
Club FC Naughty
Highly sexed Swedish side best known for their casual approach on the pitch and swinging approach off it. The post game ritual of communal hot bath and ‘Swedish smelling salts’ is apparently best avoided, especially by the unwary.
AC Onanism
Horny handed Morovian masterbationists XI who are much fancied to knock out some decent results ...That’s enough club sides – Ed.
