[Lucky7s]

Mick MacPaddywack 6 v 3 Lucky7s Mick MacPaddywack taks a 1pt lead

Well done Mick so far, poor day for my lot, think I need the hairdryer

[sportsmeister]

sportsmeister 7 v 6 murf murf lets lead slip to 4

picked up another point today to close gap to 3 but murf is already ahead on away goals so will go through regardless.

Good luck all for the rest of the competition

[Ralfbergs]

Second leg scores with 3 games to go

Ralfbergs 3 v 6 Rookster Rookster extends lead to 9 and WINS

Congrats Rookster ! Really bad performance from me, don't know what has been happenning these last gameweeks. Hope you win this, then at least I can say I lost to the champion .

[Lucky7s]

Mick MacPaddywack 8 v 5 Lucky7s with a game to go ...
as we both went 1-1 tonight Mick wins by a 1pt, well played.

[jeffmcgow]

I reckon I've shaded the second leg against Shaggy365 by 9 - 7 (22 - 18 on aggregate)

The overall result was certainly closer than it looked. Going into the last match I had Sunderland v WHU as 0-1 while Shaggy had 1-0 so the door was open for Shaggy to level at 21 - 21 and snatch victory on the away goals rule. It was not to be!

Anyway, well played Shaggy365 - I knew it was going to be a tough match.

[Spencer4]

Well done Minitoff, hit the buffers big time this week. Good luck in the next round.

[Rookster]

Second leg scores with 3 games to go

Ralfbergs 3 v 6 Rookster Rookster extends lead to 9 and WINS

Congrats Rookster ! Really bad performance from me, don't know what has been happenning these last gameweeks. Hope you win this, then at least I can say I lost to the champion .

Cheers Ralfbergs, at this stage, it is just luck really as all players are quite well matched.

[foxinthebox2001]

Looks as if I have held on by just a single point.
When the QF draw is made later may I suggest that Minitoff's and Rookster's balls are warmed up.

[murf]

Sorry no formal results yet (I've not been on a computer all day) but the numbers are all out there.

Kylie + 1 being arranged for tomorrow.

[Rookster]

Is that fear I can smell?

With Kylie pulling the balls out of the velvet bag the balls are likely to be on fire.

LAST 16 - 2ND RESULTS

Minitoff 9 v 5 Spencer4 aggregate 22 v 13
Shaggy365 7 v 9 jeffmcgow aggregate 18 v 22
sportsmeister 10 v 8 murf aggregate 17 v 20
Ralfbergs 4 v 8 Rookster aggregate 9 v 19
Mick MacPaddywack 8 v 5 Lucky7s aggregate 16 v 15
foxinthebox2001 6 v 6 yorkshiredragon aggregate 15 v 14
the dude abides 6 v 7 nffc aggregate 15 v 14
Spinynorman 7 v 6 steve foster aggregate 16 v 13

The 6 best scores all came in the opening 4 games. Hot ball? Who said that????

Commiserations to Shaggy and sportsmeister (the highest scorer in the 2nd legs), would have wn any game in the lower half.

Kylie and guest drawerer Emilia Clarke* are still here and will be doing the QF draw soon. Sorry, we didn't get
round to it last night. We, err, you know, well, best leave it there.....


* sorry, no dragons

Everything should be up to date now. All the scores are in and the last 16 losers hoofed from the league. All confirms Rookster's arithmetic/predictions are right.

5 Mick MacPaddywack v Minitoff 6
8 Rookster v Spinynorman 7

SECOND LEGS with 2 games to go
Minitoff 10 v 7 Mick MacPaddywack - 4 points in it now. MickMacP has got his prayer mat out...
Spinynorman 11 v 7 Rookster - revenge of the Spiny, turns it round to a 3pt lad
murf 12 v 10 jeffmcgow - I've pulled it level but I'm going out on away goals despite having the best score of the day and best total (but only equal with my opponent of course)
the dude abides 9 v 3 foxinthebox2001 - some turn around, 4 down but now the dude is 2 up

[jeffmcgow]

Nail-biting conclusion in my tie against murf.

I've now taken a crucial 1-point lead following the Liverpool win and have a better away goals record. murf now needs to predict the exact score for the Swansea v Chelsea (and be different from my prediction) to pip me at the post.

Kylie is cheering murf on..... can he do it?.......

[foxinthebox2001]

With 1 game left the dude abides still holds a 2 point lead.
We had identical predictions for the early game, I just hope he hasn't also got Swansea to win 3-0.

Think I went 2-0 so all yours. Well played.

Thanks, murf. I must say, I wasn't too confident with my Swansea 0 Chelsea 1 prediction after the Chico sending off.

Yes, a smart bit of predicting by Minitoff in the Cardiff vs. Stoke City match (he went 1-1 against my 1-0) was the difference. Well played, Sir
