There's only one game, so it won't be much effort for you to predict. Here, quote this:
Nottm Forest 1 - 1 Tottenham

Details and fixtures for the next round (12th March) will be posted soon. It's just occurred to me that we've been halving the people one round too early (ie we'll have 2 people left at the semi stage) but I'm not sure if I can do anything about that now.

Easy enough; top 2 play the last 3 games, final worth double points
or so it seems to me

I had considered that (the 3 games part)... the only thing putting me off was the month gap between them
We'll probably go with something like that though
Another option, as JC says, is to keep the losers in, and make next round's matches add onto this one. Only snag there is some people lost points because of a last match gamble.

Re: [football] *** it's the FA CUP guessing game ***
Time to reawaken this thread, and the problem with halving the people hasn't gone away
I think it's best if we continue, much as Phang suggested, with the semi's and final integrated into one round for the final 2 people. So this weekend, the official last 4 are...
Zharkov vs 1-X
Phang vs SYMM
Anyone wanting to predict after being knocked out is welcome to continue. I'll do a league display of the results (and I will get eventually make one big table for the entire round). Fixture list follows...

Did I predict at all for the quarter-finals?
By the way, the draw is:
Arsenal vs Blackburn Rovers
&
Newcastle United vs Manchester United

I dont mind having Arsenal, i reckon we have a chance against them seeing as they arent playing too well at the mo. Man U would have been a much much harder game and we can save humiliating Souness until the final.

Re: [football] *** it's the FA CUP guessing game ***
I've left bumping this until as late as possible. Once again, anyone can predict for fun and the consolation table but the only people whose predictions will matter are Phang and Zharkov.
As I messed up and halved the entries too early, the final round will consist of the semi finals and the finals put together, with the points for the final being doubled.
Phang predicted a month ago, but may want to change them now
Here's the big table that took me ages to get the Pld column right.
Code:
pld x g pts PPG
1-X 75 17 31 82 1.093
Phang 75 17 24 75 1.000
Inferno 75 13 32 71 .947
Zharkov 75 13 31 70 .933
LHC 75 13 29 68 .907
Phalon 75 12 28 64 .853
Blastoderm 71 14 20 62 .873
lokken 59 14 18 60 1.017
SYMM 71 11 24 57 .803
roadrunner 75 6 35 53 .707
Stew 71 7 30 51 .718
JC 75 8 25 49 .653
Ste 71 8 24 48 .676
pablissimo 59 9 21 48 .814
midge5 59 5 23 38 .644
TheShadowMan 32 9 10 37 1.156
KoeN 39 7 14 35 .897
Freakozoid 32 4 12 24 .750
Reidy 32 3 6 15 .469
Hugin 32 0 12 12 .375
sniborp 4 0 2 2 .500
16 Arsenal 2 - 1 Blackburn
17 Newcastle 1 - 3 Man Utd
