Ok, don't panic, don't panic, table update from the quarter finals, then I will try to get the semi-final table completed this week.

An interesting round, with draws being the stumbling block for some and having to pick six winners from a list of fixtures was not easy for many - I did find the format interesting though - especially as no one is tying in the table now!

Anyway to the points, who said it was yours to lose now brb haha, well I certainly made a good job of that and Patchy70 was going to punish me for my slip up, as he gains a whopping 30 points in the quarters. Musty started well getting all four cup winners correct, but clearly not being a L2 club supporter was going to be his biggest hurdle. gioblues achieved the second highest score of 28 points that round, closely followed by Resurgam, geoffthegills and DebbieA with 25 points each...

1. 110 (30)(18)(23)(16)(11)(12) Patchy70
2. 98 (14)(24)(23)(14)(13)(10) brb
3. 95 (25)(18)(17)(17)(06)(12) DebbieA
4. 94 (25)(18)(15)(17)(12)(07) Resurgam
5. 93 (25)(12)(20)(14)(11)(11) geoffthegills
6. 87 (18)(18)(19)(16)(09)(07) Mustyfrog
7. 86 (28)(14)(14)(12)(10)(08) gioblues
8. 51 (00)(00)(20)(14)(06)(11) allbluelenny
9. 43 (00)(00)(21)(13)(09)(00) The Gills PegLeg

The cup final is not until the 3rd June this season, so rest easy people, while I get the semi table sorted and the all important fixtures for the final round.

2. 131 (33)(14)(24)(23)(14)(13)(10) brb

5. 125 (30)(25)(18)(17)(17)(06)(12) DebbieA
6. 111 (25)(28)(14)(14)(12)(10)(08) gioblues

@brb I might regret this mate, but I make it that I only got 22 points for this round, not 25 as you so generously gave me mate. I would love to be proved wrong though.

Just to let everyone know, I haven't forgotten this.

The problem I'm having at the moment, because the FA Cup Final is really late this year (3rd June), the BBC fixture listing only works two weeks in front and two weeks behind. I really need that to give me other selections in addition to the final.

I do also use a live football fixture listing but this is all it currently shows for the 3rd June:

15:00
Manchester City v Manchester United
FA Cup Final

16:00 TBC Serie A BT Sport 1
17:30 Celtic v Inverness CT Scottish Cup Final BBC One Scotland
19:45 TBC Serie A BT Sport 1
19:45 TBC Serie A BT Sport 3
19:45 TBC Serie A BT Sport 6
20:00 TBC Ligue 1 BT Sport 8
20:00 TBC Ligue 1 BT Sport 7
20:00 TBC Ligue 1 BT Sport 2
20:00 TBC Ligue 1 BT Sport 5

I might use this above fixture listing once the TBC's are confirmed. Failing that I will use the following day (Sunday) Spanish fixtures which are already listed. So I will update once I've decided - I will review the situation again at the weekend, hopefully with a more precise decision.

This is the latter Spanish fixtures already listed, so it's certainly a serious consideration to go with them:

18:00
Celta Vigo v Barcelona
La Liga

18:00
Elche v Cádiz
La Liga

18:00
Espanyol v Almeria
La Liga

18:00
Osasuna v Girona
La Liga

18:00
Real Betis v Valencia
La Liga

18:00
Real Madrid v Athletic Bilbao
La Liga

18:00
Real Mallorca v Rayo Vallecano
La Liga

18:00
Real Sociedad v Sevilla
La Liga

18:00
Real Valladolid v Getafe
La Liga

18:00
Villarreal v Atlético Madrid
La Liga
 
Finally the BBC Fixture listing is up - I will use the FA Cup Final on Saturday 3rd June, alongside Serie A matches on Sunday 4th June. Although please be advised Serie A kick off times are not yet confirmed, I will assume due to any TV arrangements. I also need to make participating worth it, so the points system for the final round will reflect that:

5 points for a correct winning/drawing team x 11 == 55 points max
10 points for each joker x 3 = 30 points
Total of 85 points up for grabs

FA Cup Final, I only need to know who will lift the trophy.
Serie A, I only need to know the winner or if you think it's a draw.

FINAL Saturday 3rd June...
