FA Cup prediction competition

[Martyn]

Here we are again folks, time for the regular FA Cup prediction competition.


You have to predict the scores (at 90 minutes, or if applicable in the semi-finals and final, 120 minutes) of games posted here.

For the 3rd and 4th round I will nominate 8 games to be predicted, from the 5th round onwards it will be all of the games. No Leeds games will be selected unless we should happen to make the 5th round.

Scoring is as last season:

10 points for exact result and score
7 points for right result and one team's score correct
5 points for right result but neither team's score correct
2 points for wrong result but one team's score correct.

Example: Bolton v Wigan. If result is Bolton 2 Wigan 1 then

Bolton 2 Wigan 1 scores 10
Bolton 2 Wigan 0 scores 7
Bolton 3 Wigan 0 scores 5
Bolton 1 Wigan 1 scores 2
Bolton 0 Wigan 1 scores 2
Bolton 1 Wigan 2 scores 0

"result" means score at 90 minutes or, where applicable, 120 minutes. Penalty shoot-outs don't count, that game will be marked as a draw.
