Prediction League Blue Sheep League Cup

Salah not playing so I'm going for Minimao to score for Liverpool.

 

Ars v liv GAME OFF

 

I'll go for nil nil with no scorers and no yellow cards then........

 

That gives the laggards a chance to get a prediction in then!!!!

 

Chelsea 3-0 Spurs Osgood 54 min yellow.

 

Frank thanks for including me ,but now count me out as i dont see the point if other players are not taking part,

 

Hang in there, William. Only four failed in the first game and only one in the main draw.....your opponent, Mr Sheep. Still a lot to play for!!!! Altho' Mr Sheep will have to go some to overcome your huge lead.
Missing predictors were Mr Sheep, LLF, Musty and Brizzle....only Mr Sheep has an uphill task....all others stand a real chance....so long ass they predict Arsenal v Liverpool.

 

Current state of play at half time:



And in the Plate:

 

Arsenal 1 v 2 Liverpool (Pepe, Jota, Robertson)

 

OK!!! Covid and the postponed Liverpool match mean the best laid plans of mice and men etc etc.
We cannot finish the current round till next week when the planned Arsenal v Liverpool match is played. This opens up time for the laggards, LLF, Mr Sheep and Brizzle to get one prediction in to make a game of it!!!!
I'll have to sort out our semi-final somehow to arrive at the final being predicted by those who are left.
Now!!!! It may well be that the result of tonight's match may mean people want to rethink their prediction so give that some thought. eh?
Also, William is quite disappointed in those who enter but do not predict...it does spoil things somewhat, The FA Cup is now at the round of 16 and I don't know whether there is appetite for an FA Cup and possible Charity Shield too? What do you peeps think?

 

Count me in FFB. I'm up for a couple of trips to Wembley

 

Go for it, as long as it is not a burden for you FfB.

 

Results are in at last:



So we have semi-finalists.......William with a glorious 9, Rumney with 5, Sparkey with 3 and Barry Tiger. Difficult to see how Mr Sheep might have prevailed even if he had put in predictions.

I'll have to choose a couple of games for the semi-final so that we have only two left for the final, when it happens.
Would people prefer something well-known or something way out there. At the mo, I'm thinking a couple of Champions' League games.

 

And for the silver plate, we have the following:



Musty's last gasp prediction got him through. Ninian did a great job for 8, BfB got through with nil coz Brizzle didn't turn up and I got a creditable 7 to progress.

 

OK!!! The draw for the semis of this cup have been made and are as follows:



The matched to be predicted are next week in the Champions League:

Chelsea v Lille, Tuesday 22 February

and

Athletico Madrid v Manchester United, Wednesday 23 February


As usual , I need scores and one scorer for each side and the time of the first card in the Chelsea game (as a tie breaker)

 

In the plate for the losers, we have the draw as follows>



Same games as above.

 

Now!!! One last thing. We are predicting these games that are played next week and the final will be on the following weekend.
I am in Uzbekistan from Sunday till Friday next week so I may not have any internet till I get home and may not be able to declare the winners of this round till them. So, you may wish to think about your prediction for the final

CHELSEA V LIIVERPOOL , 27 FEBRUARY

For this, it will be score after 90 minutes and the first card as well as one scorer for each side.

 

Chelsea 2 lille o Azpilicueta first card 38 mins
athletico Madrid 0 Man u 1 Ronaldo first card 52 mins.

 

Thanks FFB. Good luck William, but not too much...................

 

cheers Barry bonne chance.
