    ok, I have changed my mind about 5 times; I think it will actually be a tight game with Arsenal breaking and it being only a goal either way.
    So I have decided to sit on the fence!

    Arsenal 0 - 0 Chelsea

    (with Arsenal winning 1-0 in extra time!) complete b@##o*s of course!
    Oh! And Button to get in the points at Monaco and be McLaren's top points scorer at the end of the season! :)
    And Siva to be our Coach by Tuesday morning....

    Just a reminder that the final kicks off at 17.30 tomorrow. I will be accepting tips right up to kick off time.

    Ten man Chelsea were never going to beat twelve man Arsenal! Anthony Taylor had two big calls and got them both wrong!

    If Ramsey had stood still and not moved towards the ball then fair call, but he made to play it until Sanchez shouted at him, ergo he was interfering with play and Moses was definitely pushed! <steam>

    I thought that the ref got it spot on over the dive. The better team on the day won IMHO.

    FA Cup Predictions League 2016/17

    Final Table
    That's it folks, here is the final league table from the cup pedictions league, the winner was:

    Colognehornet
    (him that does the scoring) :bandit:

    In second place was:

    Bolton's Boots <cracker><cheers>
    In joint third place were:

    Canary Dave and Matej Vydra 23
    <applause><bubbly>

    As is often the case with this league it remained a lottery up to the end. For a few minutes Frenchie was on for the double, a third Arsenal goal would have given the league to theghost and a second Chelsea equalizer would have given it to Chris. For logical reasons the final has a special weighting - but, if anyone has any suggestions for changes in the scoring then I would be happy with that. Strangely enough, in the year of Brexit - both league titles end up on the continent this year <laugh>

    Thanks for all your hard work on this cologne, I for one will not be calling for an investigation of the winner <whistle>

    I'm obviously disappointed that Chelsea chose the final to produce such a poor, by their standards, display and I also have to say it's been a long time since I've seen such a good performance from Arsenal, they were worthy winners, though I still believe they were helped by a couple of dodgy calls! <cheers>

    Yes, thanks cologne - this is the nearest I've come to winning anything ever.

    Not calling for an investigation either, but I did notice that you posted your prediction after I posted mine.... <whistle>

    Cheers Brian. To be honest it feels strange winning something which I myself organized, but it can happen. However good Chelsea are there was no way I was going to tip against a manager who has won 6 Wembley finals. I think I have to take a good look at the scoring for next year because winning it from 9th place (it would also have been possible to win from 12th or 13th) does seem a bit odd - almost as if the rest of the rounds were irrelevant. But can I devalue the final ?

    No need for change cologne, it gives more people a chance to mess up the early rounds but still have a chance of victory. You were a very worthy winner! <ok>
