FA Cup 2017: Round 4 - Like a landmark birthday

The 3rd round of the FA Cup didn't seem to have as much build up this year - it might have just been me working all hours in & around Christmas/New Years...but I sort of blinked and it was FA Cup time again.

Bit of a shame that, I thought...the FA Cup is a trophy I love, with a lot of great memories (and some utter horrors) over my footballing life. So I was was a bit put out by missing the draw, and then working during the 3rd Round weekend and missing the 4th round draw too! At least I got to celebrate by walking down the corridor whistling "Hey Jude" over and over for 3 hours....

I don't think the draw was that conducive to excitement either - it's fair to say that there were no major shocks - and those that were "giant killings" came with caveats...the quality really starts bunching further down the tree. Liverpool were probably the closest to a true giant killing, but renowned goal machine Lucas ruined that outtake from the Brothers Grimm anthology.

Argyle. Where does that come from?* Why aren't more clubs given names like that?

Anywho, let's get statty:

This year - 11 people have entered the game so far. People are of course welcome to donate enter late although they will find it very difficult to win from hereon out.

Most popular predicted victors: Brentford, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd & Ipswich (11/11)
Most disputed results: Sunderland vs Burnley, Cardiff vs Fulham, Bolton vs Palace & Norwich vs Southampton (all 6-5 or 5-6 splits)

Best predicted results: Brentford, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd WINS (11/11)
Worst predicted result: Lincoln WIN (0/11)

Everyone's results:

An early lead for Team Feneley & Daniel Wigman - Aron Kleiman takes up a familiar position I'm afraid. Still....plenty to play for at this point.
