FA Cup 2.5: Well I never

So after bemoaning the lack of cupsets in R3, the old gal sprung back with a stormer of a 4th round. Southampton were the early casualties, before Chelsea and Man City both suffered shock losses. They'd had fair warning the night before when Man Utd had failed to see off Cambridge, but that didn't gird their steels. Liverpool were similarly unfocused against Bolton. Spurs too switched off early (ironic given their propensity for late wins in the league) to exit to a Leicester side looking for league distraction.

The Sunday was less shocking, as teams really knuckled down, and eventually, after replays, there was no more fun to be had.

To get statty:

10 of the 11 played this round, Tharshan is a muppet and will play this time after receiving several reminders yet again.

Most popular predicted results: Man Utd, Derby, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs & Man City, West Ham & Arsenal  WINS (12/13)

Most disputed: Preston North End vs Sheffield United (6-6 split)

Best predictor: Sam Ruback (11/16)
Worst predictor: Tharshan Thavagnanam (0/16)
Next worst: Aron Kleiman (7/16)

Everyone's results:


Pale bars are totals to date - Sam is in the lead after winning both rounds so far, just ahead of Yo Abbott. 

To Round 5:


Crystal Palace vs Liverpool  LIVERPOOL
Arsenal vs Middlesbrough ARSENAL
Aston Villa vs Leicester ASTON VILLA
WBA vs West Ham WEST HAM
Bradford vs Sunderland SUNDERLAND
Blackburn vs Stoke STOKE
Derby vs Reading DERBY
PNE vs Man Utd MAN UTD

Can those who have yet to pay me please do so this round so I don't have to chase anyone any more! Thanks!

Good luck guys!
