    Exeter 2 - 1 Liverpool after 60 mins

    this would be a major upset - Seventy-six league places between the sides

    An excellent start for those having faith in Exeter – that ended a draw with being a two-or-more tier difference, so that’s a real nice handy TWO POINT start for:

    I must admit, thought you were a bit mad, but it shows - what do we really know?!

    Has the FA cup lost all credibility now? Didn't the commentator say "Liverpool equalised against the run of play against Exeter" ... ?:]]

    EXETER CITY 2-2 LIVERPOOL
    --Liverpool left-back Brad Smith scores the visitors' vital equaliser with just 17 minutes remaining at St James Park...

    Early game ... now 55 mins gone, and it's Wycombe 1-1 Aston Villa ... another "cupset" possible ?

    So two games so far, and TWO surprises. Well done Wycombe for blunting Aston Villa, a 1-1 draw is very dignified.

    So that means lots of people up and down the country have their first points, and a dozen of the top dogs scored yesterday and today, so already sit on 4 points before the main programme gets underway.

    Good luck everyone!

    ;)

    2nd result for me that's 2 draws so 4pts I think?

    I have now got 2 wins, thats another 6 pts and a total of 10pts!

    However 1 of my games was posponed, Newport v Blackburn, so what happens about that?

    The level of predictions has been astoundingly good, it’s going to be very close. There are a numerous group of people in the 10 to 12 point bracket (including yours truly), but tomorrow’s game means a few could even get past the dozen. Funnily enough there has been no six-point game, which means it’s all packed together …
    Only sadness has been Newport’s game being postponed, and I’m very sorry to have to call this VOID, because I can’t let everyone wait for just one match. Bad luck if that’s been called, and indeed has amongst just a few of you, hopefully better luck next time…

    Not fair!

    I have got my other 4 selections right, I should be given the chance of picking one the games being played tomorrow!

    EDIT: My choice is: - Oxford v Swansea

    Some of us wisely took into account prevailing weather and pitch conditions before making our choices. It's not fair if you're now allowed to choose another game because you didn't !!!

    Gutted that Manure's injury time penalty deprived me of correctly selecting another cupset. :sick1:

    bear with me just the once lads, difficult to please everyone about the Newport situation but I'll talk to a few of the mods from a few of the other forums and we'll improve the postponed status thing for next round, OK?! Sorry, this is the first time this has ever cropped up in about ten different round games over past few seasons ...

    So long as the game is played before the 4th can it just not count as a late result?

    I'd be happy to help TVOR take his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if he doesn't get sufficient redress on here.

    If a large majority of YOUR members are not against, as a SPECIAL favour I would take instead of Newport:

    The Voice of Reason - Oxford v Swansea

    Godfather - you didn't even have Newport predicted so no change now! :smiley-sport025:



    I don't want to wait for reaaranged matches to take place because I'll get bombarded all week by impatient posters on other forums demanding the results ... !

    Nah, stuff him! It's just one of those FHL things isn't it? (and it dents my chance of winning!).

    Edit: In fact, it makes it impossible for me to beat him if you do that!

    Dock Godfather points for trying to pull a fast one and give them to TVOR. Sorted.

    Oxford have won, so if this is allowed I now have 16pts, but if the majority think this is unfair I am happy to wait for the result of the posponed game between Newport and Blackburn and forgo the Oxford win.
