All to play for (and I mean all. This is the CL Stylee Cup Group stages we are talking about. Failure to qualify could put some usernames into administration and do you really want Chris posting for you?!)

10 matches, several of them tough to call so I don't think anybody is out of it although our top two can probably field a few reserves this weekend.

Happy with 7 points from the first round of matches.

I've saved the overall leaderboard prior to this set so a simple bit of Excel will mean we can update this as the FISO Goals scores get done through the weekend

8 for me so far this weekend. If i dont get through i can only blame myself for missing a few prediction deadlines.

Up to 10 for me now. I am on fire.

6 for me so I could be heading for oblivion - still better than having my name in headlines tomorrow morning for all the wrong reasons

(If I've got this right...)

with 3 games to go, we have 2 definite qualifiers and 2 definite failures. Also a bit of a gap at the cut-off so maybe we are getting there.....

You're just below the cut off with everything to play for.

Exciting stuff isn't it.

For a change I'm not looking to bad at the moment but there is still time for it to go pear shaped.

I feel sorry for the groups that contain myself and Bluenoseyparker.

With the Man City score in, things start to evolve with the split now being decide on the tie-breaker.

So who predicted United to win? Maybe. 3-1? Thought not....

Sunderland vs Stoke is going to have a lot on it.

What a performance from me around the last bend ... might just qualify now unless I trip on my shoelaces ...
Squeaky bum time?

Bad set this week - I will be gutted if I miss out!

Come on the result that I need tonight!

One game to go and it is still wide, wide open.

Very few got even a point from the Man Utd win allowing dickypick and GM to ensure qualifiaction and TheTon to give up hope. bluenoseyparker and ashers are guaranteed being seeded in Pot C (top 4 here) with ColinH a strong favourite to join them.

Still 11 players after the final 7 spots. The top 4 of them are guaranteed qualification with just a point and the bottom 2 will be out unless they get 3 points so it is largely squeaky bum time for the five on 26 or 27 points.

I went for 1-2, damn you Park Ji Sung

Two points off the mark still though. Forgetting to predict the Ars-Bol and Liv-Tot midweek games recently looks like it will be costly

An exact score tonight should see you safe with 27 and a 13 for the tie-break. Knulpuk could be expected to get one to move ahead but you'd need 2 of the 4 on 26 points to also get it spot on for you to miss out.

Any other score and you are stuffed though

No points for me tonight, SOBD was the only significant person to score a point so I have squeezed through into the final qualification place with Digsby and paisleypark missing out.

Fact

Goes without saying I switched from a draw (albeit 1-1) to a home win at the last moment.

May still have squeezed in despite stupidity!

I'll have a look and do the official announcement later this morning. Followed by me and Kylie doing the crucial draw for the group stage.

I'm going to be burnt out by the time the main competition comes around.

Mind you even if we had a break we would no doubt all be whisked away to some sunnier clime to do some predicting there.

Break? Break? What you mean? The Group stages start tonight!

I've run out of Dubbin for my boots.

There it is - the final whistle. 9 of you have to shuffle off, heads down, moaning and cursing. The 12 succesful folk stroll through, heads held high but leaving a trail of sweat and jam, most of it emanating from Rookster.

The first 4 names go into Pot C for the Group Stage draw and the rest form Pot D.

Group stage draw with its own dedicated thread is imminent.

Nice one murf! Managed to sneak through by the skin of my teeth

How disappointing

Bloody hell! Made pot C from dead and buried. Thanks Murf - for those involved it was pretty exciting. Cheers!
