of the Doonhammers?
Why, it is Queen Of the South of course. Who, after a great cup run in Scotland will feature in next years UEFA cup, thereby joining the canon of clubs with unusual names who have featured in this competition. Who knows, they have the outside chance of glory, and may get drawn against the likes of Bayern Munich, or Juventus. More likey however they will land Molotov Tblisi, or XY Zangervoort in teh frist rund qualifiers. Here's to them though! Reaching Europe is a triumph for any small club.
Queen Of the South aquired their bibilical name after poet and freemason David Dunbar coined the term to describe Dumfries during the 1857 election campaign. The rather grand moniker stuck, and when 3 Dumfries clubs merged post war 1919 it was adopted by the new football club. That's another mystery solved then.

The Onion Baggers have seen Midtyjlland play! We saw them play Brondby last season.
The "Wolves" played a blinder and stuffed the home team, though it was hardly an advert for the beauty and finesse of Danish football.
Menderfuntzen Zonder
Gnomenstort
these are definitely made-up. Surely?
Copenhagen HFC
Sparta Muscavak
Hammerschmittel
Lokomotiv Moskva (are there 4 teams in Moscow or more?)
Elfsborg
Sochaux
Midtyjlland
Dinamo Tblisi
B36
Llanfairpwll
Metalist (played Everton)
these are the ones I am confident about the existence of.
Now we have to guess which of these minnows will knock out the Premier League's representatives in next season's UEFA Cup...
I think Villa will be downed by the mighty Hammerschmittel...
Come on Utd, make Latin America weep and send the Barca divers/cheats/and cry babys out of the Champions League.
Surely a side featuring Eto'o, Henry, and Deco, has a chance of being the surliest ever assembled. These guys have moods so bad it produces its own weather over the Camp Nou.

I've no idea how many teams are from Mosocw, but aren't all of them owned by Roman Abramovic?
