FA Cup 3: Quarter Finals

As we enter March, it's time to start focussing on trophies. Chelsea picked up the first competitive trophy of the season on Sunday, and one numpty dumpty referred to it as "Cup Final Day". Whilst this may be technically true, I think we all know that it's a day with a cup final on it, and not 'Cup Final Day', which belongs to a beautiful old girl in May, without stupid 3 handled tankard things.

I think the shocks of the 4th round hit home, as most teams looked to ensure they were not the next to suffer a comedy banana skin. Blackburn vs Stoke arguably the largest shock, as the Championship is notoriously unpredictable and Derby have a promotion challenge on their hands. There's no shock in Bradford beating Sunderland at home!

Now the Quarter finals are here, with each team only 1 match away from Wembley, will we see any more interesting results? A favourite has to drop given the pairing of Man Utd vs Arsenal (warm balls much?)...so Liverpool are arguably in pole position.

Let's do the stats for last round:

11 people played - boo Tharshan & Joe
Most predicted results: Arsenal & Man Utd WINS (11/11)
Most disputed result: WBA vs West Ham (6-5 split)

Best predictor: David Dinkin 6/8
Worst predictors: Steven, Joe, Tarek & Brad (3/8)

Average score: 4/8

Everyone's score:

Sam Ruback's still out in front. Josh Gaon's probably got too much to do...needs perfect scores from here on out or there's a new name on the trophy*

*No Impossibilitee FA Cup game trophy exists. Maybe in future. If you want a trophy, win the league. Josh Gaon....er....

To the QF predos:

Liverpool vs Blackburn - LIVERPOOL

Bradford vs Reading - BRADFORD

Aston Villa vs WBA - WBA

Man Utd vs Arsenal - ARSENAL (I'm not gonna win anyway...)

Good luck guys!
