S6M28 & FA CUP R6: Pro Rata's revenge

So I was going to do a little recap of the week & the FA Cup 5th round, but frankly, this week has seen enough ridiculous football to make raking over the (recent) past somewhat redundant. The Champions League has thrown up enough talking points to keep radio alive until the Sun implodes on itself. Either Sun, although 1 would be more beneficial to humanity than the other...

There's also a fair amount of statty stuff to get through too, so let's just end on the Chelsea juggernaut rolling forward, and the Ranieri sacking finding itself in the same bracket as Adkins at Southampton. Retroscope has 20:20 vision and all that...

Let's get statty:

Matchday 27:
25 people played
Most popular predicted results: Chelsea & Man City WINS (25/25)

Average score: 5.68/10

Best predicted result: Chelsea & Man City WINS (25/25)
Worst predicted result: Man Utd vs Bournemouth DRAW (0/25) - was that only last week? Seems like forever that we were getting excited about the Mings/Ibrahimovic stuff...

Everyone's scores:

The leaderboard (>2/3; 19/27)

To the FA Cup (& the Roly Poly Goalie....)

10/11 played

Most popular predicted results: Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City & Arsenal WINS (10/10)

Most disputed result: Millwall vs Leicester (6-4 split)

Best predicted results: Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City & Arsenal WINS (10/10)

Worst predicted result: Lincoln WIN (1/10 - congrats Dan Wigman - giant killer extraordinaire)

Best predictors: 5 of us (7/8)

Worst predictor: Steven Daniels (4/8) - of those who played

Everyone's scores (and totals):

Right, to this week's predictions and it's all a little complex:

The simpler bit first...

FA Cup R6 (QF) predos:

Middlesborough vs Man City - MAN CITY

Arsenal vs Lincoln - ARSENAL

Spurs vs Millwall - SPURS

Chelsea vs Man Utd - CHELSEA

The more complex bit...

Matchday 28:

Hull vs Swansea - SWANSEA

Everton vs WBA - EVERTON

Bournemouth vs West Ham - BOURNEMOUTH

Liverpool vs Burnley - LIVERPOOL

Now...as mentioned at the start of the season, we're going to pro-rata this weekend, as we did 2 weeks ago. The issue is that there was a much fuller programme that weekend that this. So this might be a little ridiculous.

So...I'm willing to put this week to a public vote. If >2/3 of people indicate that this week should be discounted, then we'll do so. We can maybe think about instigating a threshold of >50% of games to be played or something.

Predictions/comments etc below the line....

Good luck guys
