FA Cup Semi-Finals & PL Matchday 33: 2 Games for the price of 1

Lots to get through in this blog, so I'm not going to discuss last weekend's football...not that I think there's much to say anyway. We have the FA Cup semi-finals for all those involved in the FA Cup game, and a decent selection of PL games to play too. I hope those who are not regular predictors stick around for the PL games too!

So, without further Adu, let's look firstly at the results from the 6th round of the FA Cup:

15 people played
The most popular result was Man City WIN (15/15)
The most disputed was Millwall vs Blackburn (7-8 split)

The best predictors were Josh Gaon, Charlie Rawson & Hesham Zakai
The worst predictors were Yanik Joshi, Andrew Feneley (& Mother Feneley), Tarek Najm, Danny Hakimian and Sam Ruback

The best predicted result was Man City WIN (15/15)
The worst predicted result was Wigan WIN (1/15 congrats Charlie Rawson)

Everyone's scores:

And that leaves a leaderboard looking rather interesting...

Josh Gaon is more or less guaranteed some money, but it's a pretty close fight beyond that. The City vs Chelsea semi-fnal looks like being the decider of who ends up in the money slots.

For the sake of fluency, I'll do the PL Matchday 32 results now too, and all the predictions at the end.

This week, 18 people played
The most popular predictions were Arsenal, Liverpool & Chelsea WINS (17/18)
The most disputed predictions were Norwich vs Swansea & QPR vs Wigan (7-5-6 & 5-7-6 splits respectively)

Highest odds: Doron 10,979/1
Lowest odds: Euro Club Index 1362/1
Average odds: 4401/1

Best predictors: Me, Andrew Feneley & Eli Daniels (7/10)
Worst predictor: Doron 2/10
Average score: 5/10

Best predicted result: Arsenal & Chelsea WINS (17/18)
Worst predicted result: Liverpool vs West Ham DRAW (1/18 - well done Eli)

Everyone's scores:

And to the leaderboard, and loads of movement this week. Nick Collins continues to show all the bottle of the England Cricket team throughout the 90s and finds himself overtaken by Lawro. Sam Ruback leapfrogs Stevie D, who's early season pacesetting is but a distant memory now. Josh Gaon's poor week costs him 2 places, whilst Feneley overtakes my baby brother, who now rests only 0.01 above me. For those of you who are not familiar with this concept of sibling rivalry, this is pretty much it. Chernick's return...er, the less said about that the better!

So, to some predictions:

FA Cup Semi Finals (for those who play the FA Cup game)

Millwall vs Wigan - WIGAN
Chelsea vs Man City - CHELSEA

And PL Matchday 33 (and for those FA Cup game players who don't normally play, why not have a bash?)

Arsenal vs Norwich - ARSENAL
Aston Villa vs Fulham - ASTON VILLA
Everton vs QPR - EVERTON
Reading vs Liverpool - LIVERPOOL
Southampton vs West Ham - SOUTHAMPTON
Newcastle vs Sunderland - NEWCASTLE
Stoke vs Man Utd - MAN UTD

Total odds: A rather pathetic 36/1. The difference between 10 games and 7? Or just playing it safe? (Paddypower nevertheless)

So, hoping for loads of participation and some great scores! Good luck!
