Update

Nobody in the first semi-final predicted a win for West Brom.
In the second semi-final, BigJonS and jeffersdn both predicted a win for West Brom, but neither got a correct scoreline. So it is more or less as you were.

With just 2 matches left, the current scores are;

bluenosey (6) and Anubis (4) (10) v bagpuss (10) and Rookster (6) (16)
BigJonS (6) and toffeelover (7) (13) v Spencer4 (4) and Jeffersdn (5) (9)

Is it snowing in Sunderland and Liverpool anyone? :)

Further update

Everybody in the first semi-final predicted a win for Sunderland with bagpuss (again!) the only one to predict 1-0. It is all over, commiserations bluenosey and Anubis - not even the snow can save you now.

Likewise, everybody in the second semi-final also predicted a win for Sunderland with BigJonS the only one to predict 1-0. Almost all over, Spencer4 and jeffersdn need 6 points from the last match and hope that BigJonS and toffeelover fail to score at all.

So, with just 1 match left, the current scores are;

bluenosey (7) and Anubis (5) (12) v bagpuss (13) and Rookster (7) (20)
BigJonS (9) and toffeelover (8) (17) v Spencer4 (5) and Jeffersdn (6) (11)

And so to the final...

So both the group winners bite the dust at the semi-final stage :shock: , as bagpuss plays a stormer to cement a place in the final for bagpuss and Rookster (the highest scorers from the group phase).

Meanwhile BigJonS and yours truely squeeze through another round :) , at the expense of a slightly below-par Spencer4 and Jeffersdn.

It's worth noting that the final is a repeat of the week 8 fixture, where one of us managed to score as many as the other 3 combined :mrgreen:

Anyway, enough of the kisses of death :roll: , all the best for the final chaps :D

After Newcastle beat Liverpool, we now have an extra point (I had Newcastle to win 2-1).

This now looks like a complete role reversal of week 8, thanks to toffeelover putting a jinx on himself.

Week 8 - bagpuss (3) + Rookster (1) 4 v 8 BigJonS (2) + toffeelover (6)

Current - bagpuss (7) + Rookster (6) 13 v 7 BigJonS (6) + toffeelover (1)

Still 4 matches to go for the title to be retained and maintain my undefeated record in the knockout stages of this competition. (that should reverse the jinx toffeelover).

Now 17-13, so getting closer :)

If Bolton hadn't scored their 88th minute winner, instead of trailing by 4 we'd have been leading 19-14 :shock: :x

On such slim margins, Cups are won and lost :roll:

A tremenous comeback from BigJonS and toffeelover. Just Man Utd v Arsenal to go. For those that are not aware, I have bad memories of this match up from 2005 when I was leading TFF by a comfortable margin with just the Man Utd v Arsenal cup final to play. The only result I didn't have covered was 0-0 and the rest is history. I ended up with £5,000 instead of £50,000. What are the odds of another 0-0 stuffing me up again?

I think we got them running scared Toffee. We predicted their results so let just hope for a man u win by any score other than 1-0 for a comeback of all comebacks!

Enjoy supporting the UTD!

The final predictions are in and are as follows;
bagpuss Man Utd 1 Arsenal 0
Rookster Man Utd 1 Arsenal 1
BigJonS Man Utd 2 Arsenal 0
toffeelover Man Utd 3 Arsenal 1

Because bagpuss and I ahead in the tie breaker rule, one of our opponents needs to get the score spot on to win the cup... Game on.

Commiserations toffeelover and BigJonS, a truly great final. Well played bagpuss :D

Thanks for running this toffeelover, a superbly run comp with top graphics, well done.

Here's to next season where I hope to make it 3 in a row.

Well, what a game!

Rooney's penalty miss was pivotal, if he'd scored we'd have had different winners :roll:

But he didn't, so a very well done to bagpuss and Rookster, the Doubles Cup champions for 2010!

Well played partner, you really stepped up this week, joint-scoring with Rookster for the week, we so nearly did it!
