Cheers grumpygit, i hoped i hadn't confused the hell out of everyone, but clearly if you understand Only joking mate
Bloody hell!! Was it you helping Michel Barnier write the conditions for the Irish backstop arrangements??!!
Looks like the new rules have mixed it up nicely a bit, be interesting to see how it works out with the points.
grumpygit goes joint 2nd with Resurgam as they try to close the gap on gioblues. While geoffthegills was confiscated by the AFC Wimbledon stewards guess he forgot to post. itstimupnorth scored the most points (6) - clearly understanding the back stop conditions more than most Although I need to rethink the rules, applying the chance of more points in the next round - I would have asked this house for sugggestions, but after watching the state of Parliament, putting something to the house wil go down in history as a no, no, no....(8 no's) sorry if you haven't followed the politics. 1. gioblues ROUND 1 - Pompey 4 - Shrews 1 - Donny 2 = 7 + 7 + 3 = 17 ROUND 2 - Tranmere 1 - Luton 1 - Lincoln 2 = 4 + 17 = 21 + 2 = 23 ROUND 3 - Man U 2 - Man C 7 - Everton 2 = 11 + 23 = 34 ROUND 4 - Man C 5 - Chelsea 3 - Derby 1 = 9 + 34 = 43 ROUND 5 - Man City 4 - Millwall 1 - Swansea 4 = 9 + 43 = 52 ROUND 6 - Watford 1 - Man C 1 - Wolves 1 - Millwall 0 - Goals 2 = 5 + 52 = 57 2. grumpygit ROUND 1 - Pompey 4 - Posh 3 - Gills 0 = 7 (Gills replay pending) + 4 = 11 ROUND 2 - Gillingham 1 - Pompey 1 - Accrington 3 = 5 + 11 = 16 ROUND 3 - Spurs 7 - Man U 2 - Gillingham 1 = 10 + 16 = 26 ROUND 4 - Man C 5 - Chelsea 3 - Gills 1 = 9 + 26 = 35 ROUND 5 - Man City 4 - Millwall 1 - Swansea 4 = 9 + 35 = 44 ROUND 6 - Crystal P 0 - Man C 1 - Man U 0 - Brighton 1 - Goals 2 = 4 + 44 = 48 2.

Pick the two winning teams. Two points for each correct selection. Predict the score of each game inc after extra time but excluding penalties - 5 points available for each game but only if you predict the correct score. Select when the first goal will be scored in the Watford v Wolves game if you get within 2 mins either side of it, you will receive 5 points. So lots of points up for grabs, but very difficult to achieve. SATURDAY 6TH APRIL SEMI-FINAL Manchester City17:30Brighton & Hove Albion SUNDAY 7TH APRIL SEMI-FINAL Watford16:00Wolverhampton Wanderers
Man City 3 - 0 Brighton Watford 2 - 1 Wolves (AET) 1 - 1 after 90 mins 1st goal - 28th minute. ** Pedant alert** When I have stated in the 28th minute brb - does that mean that A) It will be 28 minutes + however many seconds? B) 27 minutes and however many seconds, as strictly speaking, then that is within the 28th minute, as the 28th minute finishes when the 29th begins. If you could clear this ever so very very minor point up for me, in your otherwise so obviously clearly and superbly run competition, I would be eternally grateful. Perhaps even so grateful as to stand you 1/2 pint of London Pride shandy, which I believe to be your favourite tipple .
A + B ....due to the bit where i says...'if you get within 2 mins either side of it' That's just cost yer a PINT of London Pride and you can have the lemonade
