With 4 replays and 4 matches still to be played the maximum achievable so far is 240 points. As it will be a while before the replays are done I thought I would post a teaser of the table so far. This shows how we are all doing with those games to go. Barry has got only 3 predictions wrong to date so well done to him - Matej appears to be our Dark Horse - oh yes - ahead of Daddy again JsyBarry 210 Cologne 200 MatejVydra 200 Bolton 190 Ghost 190 Andytoprankin 180 Canary dave 180 Hornette 180 Leonardo 180 Oxford 180 Aberdeen 170 Hackney 170 HornetFez 170 MarktheHorn 170 Yorkshire 170 ZenGuerilla 170 Akureyrar 160 CharlieLivesey 160 Chris13 160 NZHorn 160 OFH 160 TwoRossJenkins 160 Yellotoyou 150 Scullion 140 Bragantino 120
Bloody kid! Right! change of tactics in order. Disciplinary measures from, perhaps an unreasonable parent, will include restriction of access to the internet...
That's because i could never predict a Watford loss...heart for the Watford game, head for the Sheffield United result
never say never. I win bets . And i don't play to win, i play to have fun, it's always fun when i go with the obvious winner ...and they win!
For what it's worth so far -out of 25 taking part 12 people predicted a Sheffield United win. Only 5 predicted Preston to beat Norwich and the lowest were the 4 who predicted Brighton would triumph over Brentford. It shows how hearts rather than just heads are involved - 7 thought Watford could beat Chelsea. Most of us here now have a soft spot for Norwich and the warmth we may have ever felt for QPR appears to have reduced somewhat. I cannot think what could have affected those last two phenomena - I wonder if CD or BBH can?
Warmth for QPR - would be like taking a rattlesnake to bed.They are just below L*t*n on my loathometer scale.
Well - the 3rd round is finally complete and Bolton fared best in the replays rising to joint top with Cologne. Tucked just in behind are BArry And MatejVydra. 80 points separates top from bottom which is just 4 matches worth in the next round. Good luck everyone - I will post the next round fixtures later today.

Next Round Fixtures to be played between Friday 23rd and Monday 26th January - good luck everybody. Same rules apply simply indicate the team you think will make it through to the next round - after replays if necessary - and this time the points for each match are doubled to 20 per game so the same number of total points are available. 1 Aston Villa v Bournemouth 2 Blackburn v Swansea 3 Birmingham v West Brom 4 Brighton v Arsenal 5 Bristol City v West Ham 6 Cambridge v Man Utd 7 Cardiff v Reading 8 Chelsea v Bradford 9 Derby v Chesterfield 10 Liverpool v Bolton 11 Man City v Middlesbrough 12 Preston v Sheff Utd 13 Rochdale v Stoke 14 Southampton v Crystal Pal 15 Sunderland v Fulham 16 Tottenham v Leicester
