I think having Dzeko just about wins it for me. Unlucky Garypeacock, all the best in the main league sir.

arent a few people getting ahead of themselves about winning... isnt there a 2nd leg to come yet this weekend

I shall pretend that I was mocking those before me

My God Herc, aterrible display of hubris.
You are bound to lose Sir.

I would certainly place a poundington or two on you now.

16 Point advantage...NICE!


+ that Dempsey hat trick has surely put me through

It was very close… 9 of the 16 ties decided by 10 points or less. In fact 4 ties were 4 points or less and one was drawn.

Ties to be played
04/02 Last 16 – 1st leg
11/02 Last 16 – 2nd leg

Unlucky Chris looks I just scrapped through after what has been 2 ridiculously low scoring for the both of us.

Looking ahead to the last 16 a few names jump out that I would like to be drawn against

God dammit! That second leg killed me.

Congratulations cbn!

Has this been drawn yet?

yeah draw was made in secret and was very controversial... it turns out that you got kicked out for fielding an ineligible player in beckford and I got a bye to the next round

Balls!!!!!


Will sort it out tonight with whoever happens to be on kind at the time.

I think an Evolution derby might be a good one

The draw was carried out by The Ton:

sdhough v footy66
blessedbrian v tic tac angle
issaca v Mysteryshopper
iceman10 v Chuck Taylor
ronny10 v herc6
armchairpundit v Nedved
owenclass v Zarch
Rick v cbn

An email of the doc was sent to Mad Dog if he wants to check my draw (password is bellamy).

Good luck to all involved.

Should be happy to have been drawn against the bottom seed but I know Ronny to be a good player so it will be tough!

Well done mate, completely forgot about this until now!

The only real underdog to make it through was Tic Tac (53rd) who beat Blessedbrian (28th). All the rest went with the form book.

I've won 8 ties in a row now. That is Giants en route to Superbowl form
