As always, if I don't get a decision before kickoff by those who have yet to choose stick or twist, then I assume they are sticking

See you at an empty Wembley on 1st August.
As an honest prediction, if I had the option to choose, I'd probably swap to Chelsea.
Good luck.

Just checked back at posts for the last 3 seasons and discovered I have a decent record of always finishing First or Second.
17-18 won League Cup, did not enter FA Cup
18-19 runner up in League Cup, Runner up in FA Cup
19-20 won League Cup and in Final of FA Cup

If I win the FA Cup, do I get a trophy to keep?

Just in case you can't see me when you get there, I'll be carrying a copy of the Financial Times and wearing my red braces. Should blend in nicely with everyone else there.

Congratulations Shaggy365 on winning this comp. Well Deserved - It's a shame that the ref ruined the final game for me.

Arsenal were the best team on the day and out played Chelsea, but to get to this point you made some great picks. Well played Shaggy65 :)

+1.

Reckon it would have been a different outcome with a different ref.

Thanks to Ralfbergs for running, and a request that I never be allowed to swap my entry again.

Well played, Shaggy365! Happy to dust off and hand over the virtual trophy. Good luck with defending it next season. No one has managed that in a decade, as opening post shows.

Thank you very much, Ralfbergs, for a fun competition.

Well played shaggy.
Well run Ralfbergs - better than the shambles it was in the early years.

Can't believe it is nearly 10 years since I thought this one up and wrote the rules in about 2 minutes and yet I don't think we've had to change them at all since. Just re-read the first pages of that original thread and, not surprisingly, I got knocked out in Round 1 despite taking the lead in the replay. Story of my life....
