FA Cup Competition

Sorry about the late update. Any oversight/error by me please say.

geoffthegills the biggest climber this week with a massive 15 points, still not enough to budge Resurgam from second spot as he came in with the second highest tally at 13 points. I think Boro was a bit of shocker for quite a few punters (well done Newport). Table nicely positioned out, no extra points yet, choose wisely in the next round.

A little too predictable that last round (5) - so may need to mix it up a bit for the next round, as everyone placed on Man City, and for a second choice everyone either placed on Swansea or Palace. Three punters banked on Man City & Swansea raking in the points, all three punters coming from the top four of the table, Resurgam being the fall guy with zero points with the boys on the Welsh border...but not as bad as allbluelenny who seemed to forget Boro got knocked out in the last round ;)

Ok that last round was way too easy, and we need to mix it up a bit, to give everyone a chance on the final run-in...

You need to pick the eventual winner of each game - so you need to name four teams. ONLY one point for each correct answer.

You then need to predict how many goals one of your selected teams will score....but wait, you CANNOT pick Man City or Man Utd even if they are one of your selected teams. I will allow a give or take of one goal either side of your goal scored prediction, so if you predict 3 goals for your selected team, and they score 2 or 4 you win, the 3 goals (points) you predicted, regardless if they only score 2 or achieve 4.

My predictions to help guide you all.

My four selected winners from the matches are;

Crystal Palace
Manchester City
Manchester United
Millwall

ONLY ^^^ one point for each correct answer.

My goals for one of my selected teams, bearing in mind i cannot choose Man City or Manchester United in this bit is;

Millwall with 2 goals

Therefore they need to score 1, 2 or 3 goals for me to win the two points, if Millwall score 3 goals, i still only get 2 points as per my prediction.
 
Watford.
Manchester City.
Manchester United.
Brighton and Hove Albion.

Brighton 2.
