    36 ColinH
    34 frattonender
    34 hammerddh
    33 chrispyb
    31 TheTon

Spencer4 can indeed consider himself fortunate.

At the other extreme, Arabian Knight should feel hard done by to have scored 33 points and be on his way home :(

Well I only got 1 point today (not that you all care as I'm out.....) but it looks like 4 of you got 0 (only 1 not picking).

I spotted an 8 for toffeelover which I think is safe!

As I didn't back my own team to beat Bolton at home, I've picked up 4pts so far. Guess I should be pleased with that considering....

QUARTER FINALISTS - THE FORM

1 52 barrydixey
2 45 ColinH
3 41 chrispyb
4 39 toffeelover
5 38 TheTon
5 38 eagle224
7 36 StarMan
8 33 flyingkillercob

A fair spread of points but it only takes a single bad day at the office and it is all over (mowatson was 2nd on form before last weekend yet still missed out by 3 points & flyingkillercob got through from 19th!)

Top 4 only get through this weekend. There will be tie-breakers to split anybody tied across 4th place.

The convoluted tie-break rules are somewhere on FISO but they start off by seeing who got most points from predicting the result of the team who ended the weekend top (Chelsea?), then second etc.


advance warning - the Knockout Cup will start after the international break (in Set 8 if we get over 64 entries) so keep an eye out for the sign up thread - keep picking too as byes will be awarded according to league standings

So now it's squeeky bum time! :oops:

It looks as if the Man. City v Chelsea game may proove crucial, but as my least favourite team is Chelski (for personal reasons I can't bl**dy stand 'em) I wouldn't mind too much going out if my prediction was wrong and Chelski lost.

Good luck all

Just done my predictions but the away team box appears under the home score and is hidden from view. Hope it still counts! Also good to see my doubles partner Star Man is still going strong as well :)

Congratulations The Ton - you are home and hosed for this round. I thought my '1' was bad but looking at the scores it looks like the rest of us will have to rely on tomorrow's scores and predictions. I make the scores after Saturday's matches:

The Ton 7 :D
flyingcob 3 :)
barrydixey 1 :o
chrisbyb 1 :o
murf 1 :o
ColinH 0 :oops:
eagle224 0 :oops:
toffeelover 0 :oops:
StarMan 0 :oops:

as they say in the trade..... CARNAGE!!

Scores with 1 game to go (predictions in brackets)

The Ton and fkc are safely through - all those on 0 have gone for home wins (as fkc). chrisbyb and barrydixey don't need any points - they just need it not to be a home win (where they'll be relying on tie-breakers at best)

The Ton 7 (1-1)
flyingkcob 3 (1-0)
chrisbyb 2 (1-2)
barrydixey 1 (1-1)
ColinH 0 (2-1)
eagle224 0 (1-0)
toffeelover 0 (2-1)
StarMan 0 (2-1)

After Citeh's game and 2 predictions left in brackets

barreydixey 11 (2-1, 3-1)
chrispyb 8 (4-0, 1-1)
flyingkillercob 8 (2-0, 1-0)
TheTon 7 (0-1, 2-1)

TheTon pulls 2 back and it wil be all 3 if Blackpool hold on. Then it is a 3 way scrap over the Chelsea v Arsenal score

barryydixey is through to the final already :D

I think you're through on the tie-break by getting the Man City result correct.

It looks that way as Citeh are second and you both got 1 point from Chelsea on the first tie break. Good comeback.
