Still replaying Leistner's miss over and over in your heads? Christ alive that feels like Gazza in 1996 to me!
Anyway, on with the results from the Quarter Finals of our FA Cup prediction competition with matches taking place each day from Friday to Monday to prolong the drama...
First off everybody apart from kingfisher went for a Watford win but nobody got 0-1 or Capoue as first scorer.
CutePR, ashqpr and e17hoop did get the 31-45 first goal time in the QPR match
On to Saturday and in Match 3 CutePR was the only player to exactly predict 1-0 to Millwall in a great shout. Nobody got the early goal time.
Then Match 4 saw a 4-1 win for Swansea which obliviously nobody got exact but only kingfisher, surrey chad and Rosco Bosco failed to pick up 3 points for at least calling the Swansea win.
That left Match 2, the final match to take place between Chelsea and Man United, to settle things....
By this stage e17hoop was sitting 5 clear of surrey chad, I was 3 clear of LurkR, Rosco trailed ashqpr by 6 points and kingfisher was a whopping 12 behind CutePR.
Could anybody turn it around?
Herrera opening the scoring - which nobody predicted - meaning the points left available were down from 15 to 9.
surrey chad got the Man Utd 2-0 away win bang on the money and he got the first goal time of 31-45 too along with kingfisher, ashqpr, Rosco Bosco and myself.
Those 9 points for surrey chad mean he turned around his tie with e17hoop at the death! e17hoop got 3 points but surrey chad wins by a single point turning a 5 point deficit into a 1 point win. It was incredibly close too as the first goal time being 1 minute earlier would have seen e17hoop getting the goal time correct instead and making his way safely through. Tense!
kingfisher pulled back 6 points on CutePR but is still soundly beaten overall whilst ashqpr held off Rosco Bosco to win by 3 points. With LurkR not scoring in the final match played I was through regardless of my score in the final match played.
There were 16 bookings across the 4 games but that was not required to settle any ties.
So after all that here is how the Quarter Finals shaped up:
Semi Finals:
Round 4 - the Semi Finals - sees the remaining 4 players going head to head again. As mentioned before the Quarter Finals took place the winner of Tie 1 will be against the winner of Tie 4 and the winner of Tie 2 is against the winner of Tie 3; the same format as the League Cup earlier this season.
That leaves us with the following Semi Final line up with 4 players still in with a chance of getting 10 bonus points for the final phase of the main QPR Prediction League:
Semi Final 1: ashqpr Vs northwesthoop
Semi Final 2: surrey chad Vs CutePR
The points all reset to zero. Round 1-3 scores and previous goal difference only come into play going forward if there is no separating the players in the next round.
The Semi Finals will be based on the FA Cup Quarter Finals so it is just under 4 weeks until those matches will take place.
It goes without saying that the final will be between the winner of each semi final!
