FA Cup Prediction Comp (with a twist) 2013/14 ** NOW OPEN **

[Moist von Lipwig]

so I'm knocking out paisleypark next round then. Mansfield will put up a better fight than Wolves did last night.

[paisleypark]

Great result for Oldham against Wolves but I am sure Mansfield will be up for this especially as MVL will be writing them up!!

It should be a good contest.

[Judio]

Gateshead v Oxford waterlogged meaning

two first round replays will now not take place until Tuesday December 3rd

[primitive man]

Wrexham v Gateshead or Oxford U

can't understand BT Sports logic - they should've picked
Primitive Man v BlueNosey the obvious tie of the round.

[Moist von Lipwig]

Confirmation that Wednesday's postponed FA Cup First Round replay between Oxford United and Gateshead will now be played on Thursday December 5th.

BT Sport will televise the tie live and also the Second Round game between Wrexham and either Gateshead or Oxford on Monday December 9th.

[Judio]

So Round One will finish on Thursday December 5th

With the second Round starting on Friday December 6th !!!!

Only 2 Premier Leagues teams up for swapsies. Will GregsEggs risk Sunderland and who will get the chance to risk trading for Liverpool??

[blahblah]

Yep, hence my smiley post above.

Very tempted to Stick, tbh.

[GregsEggs]

If they can beat Chelsea, then they can beat Carlisle.
I'm going to change to Sunderland.

[Tacalabala]

I think it goes without saying that I'll be swapping to Bournemouth following Burton's 1-0 win over Asher's Fleetwood.

[paisleypark]

Despite Moist Von Lipwig's optimism Oldham beat Mansfield good style on there own midden.

Oldham have served me well but I just have to thank Kylie, God, Geoff Hurst or whoever warmed the Liverpool ball during the 3rd round draw in order to let me choose Liverpool from now on!

No matter who we play I will not be changing from here on in.

[murf]

Full updates and tidying after the replays are all done and dusted.

PS If you love your predictions, my Premiership Predictions CL Stylee Cup competition is now open for sign up. Players new to Premiership Predictions are free to join in. As all scores start from 0 when Qualification begins there is no handicap if you haven't played before.

[murf]

thebillfella can wait awhile on his decision as Charlton v his Oxford Utd becomes the first victim of the weather and a soggy pitch. Buoys for goalposts hmmmmm.


PS BUMP

[thebillfella]

Go on then, I'll switch to Charlton.

Although something is telling me Oxford may do a "giant killing"...
