Thanks for a good battle bagpuss,thought my 3 points this week was nt going to be enough.Best of luck to you paisleypark in the next round,hopefully i ll prove a bit tougher than your last opponent

QUARTER FINAL - 1ST LEG - RESULTS

barrydixey 5 v 10 Arabian Knight
jonnyg 9 v 10 paisleypark
bluenoseyparker 8 v 10 Spencer4
flyingkillercob 10 v 5 Jaybrent Allstars1

Lots of 10s around, one from each of our first leg winners in fact! 2 opponents put up a fight whilst the other two 'must try harder' in the second leg, this coming weekend.

Thanks for the update Murf,was praying for that other Everton goal paisleypark had 2-1 which would have gave him a 4 point lead going into the second leg.Its nicely poised now

Well played bluenosey, but not quite well enough

Bleedin' cat ! Not sure how your predicted a Pompey draw at Sunderland.

Good luck in the next round

Far too easy

Think i'm suffering the cup winners curse.

Full results coming soon.

Draw should be at lunchtime but I am having problems with my celebrity guest booking. The ever delectable and ever dependable Kylie will of course be here to draw the home teams but my booking agent has really stuffed up on the guest front. The first one here (some dumb doris who got booted out of Britain's Got The Pop factor this weekend) can't even manage pulling balls out of the bag when its her turn. I would describe her 'efforts' but you just wouldn't believe me.

My agent reckons Sam Fox is struggling to find bookings to plug her 93rd Greatest Hit Album so she may be available..... or so he reckons.

QUARTER FINAL RESULTS

Arabian Knight 3 v 1 barrydixey (Aggregate = 13 v 6 , First leg = 10 v 5 )
paisleypark 4 v 4 jonnyg (Aggregate = 14 v 13 , First leg = 10 v 9 )
Spencer4 4 v 5 bluenoseyparker (Aggregate = 14 v 13 , First leg = 10 v 8 )
Jaybrent Allstars1 4 v 6 flyingkillercob (Aggregate = 9 v 16 , First leg = 5 v 10 )


Oooooh, some of those were closer but only bluenoseyparker did anything about overhauling the first leg result - and he failed.

Kylie and Sam are here now after the earlier 'issues' with Stacey Wotsit and her absent brain cell. Therefore the semi final draw will be with you soon following the customary ball warming.

SEMI FINAL DRAW

Arabian Knight v flyingkillercob
Spencer4 v paisleypark

Semi Final Leg 2 - Sat/Sun/Mon 19-21 Dec

Final Leg 1 - Sat/Sun 26-27 Dec
Final Leg 2 - Mon/Tues/Weds 28/29/30 Dec

(PS Look out for the launch of the CL Stylee Cup)

SEMI FINAL - FIRST LEG - HALF TIME SCORES

Arabian Knight 3 v 3 flyingkillercob
Spencer4 6 v 3 paisleypark

Nice start for the cat, only one to get the Villa win and only one to get an exact score (Man U 3 v 0 Wolves Reserves)

SEMI FINAL - FIRST LEG - RESULTS

Arabian Knight 5 v 6 flyingkillercob
Spencer4 8 v 6 paisleypark

2s and 3s all round last night so it is all to play for in both games as we go into the second leg this weekend.

Well played Spencer4 looks like you have made the final. Wolves second goal killed me off! Good luck.

SEMI FINAL - SECODN LEG UPDATE

With one game to go (if not frozen off):

flyingkillercob 7 v 6 Arabian Knight (13-11 aggregate)
paisleypark 7 v 7 Spencer4 (13 v 15)

I make that all to play for in both games if they can dethaw the Wigan area....

It has just been postponed SSN

137 v 138,

The cream has risen to the top, good luck sir.

Thanks SP4 and good luck to you too!

Mr second final of the season, and it's my turn to give the ball a whack in the Ryder Cup too...the pressure is on this week

THE FINAL


flyingkillercob v Spencer4

flyingkillercob 5 Spencer4 6

After Saturday...

Congratulations SP4, by a single point I think you've beaten me We had pretty much the same predos all around, sharing the dead-on results in ManC/Stoke and Liverpool/Wolves but it was your predicted draw between Fulham/Tottenham that clinched it for you.

It is only half time FKC, second leg to come!!

I blame the wine

Oh, and the sambuca

But mainly the whisky

THE FINAL


flyingkillercob v Spencer4

flyingkillercob 15 Spencer4 18

Fine battle, well done to the runner-up and all that played to make this a proud moment. And murf for setting it all up...Champion!

Well played Spencer4 (assuming those scores are right, its late, new year, I'm tired, no checking)

Commiserations to flyingkllercob and thanks to you both and everyone else for playing.

See you all for the CL Stylee Cup and African Nations Cup Predictions comps (being launched in next couple of days or 3)

Congratulations SP4! At least I had already mentally prepared myself for losing by the halfway stage
