The 2010 KMGC FA CUP Predictor Challenge Cup Competition

Wednesday, 24 March 2010
Tottenham v Fulham 4-3

spurs 2-0 fulham

A correct score sees Mr X fly to the top of the league... details to follow regarding the semi final predictions - need to do it as a blind round - so no tactical predictions as we approach the sharp end (48 points for the correct score, 16 points for the correct result) - link it in to the DOTF perhaps (can grab the outstanding monies then as well!!).

1) Mr X - 134 points (7 correct scores + 29 correct results)
2) Donkey Gringo - 124 points (8 correct scores + 33 correct results)
3) AK47 - 123 points (7 correct scores + 33 correct results)
4) TK Max - 108 points (6 correct scores + 26 correct results)
5) The Force - 103 points (3 correct scores + 38 correct results)
6) Freebird - 93 points (4 correct scores + 28 correct results)
7) Double Trouble - 70 points (7 correct scores + 23 correct results)
8 ) Michael - 48 points (1 correct scores + 3 correct results)

Semi finals coming up and, with 48 points for the correct score and 16 points for the correct result, to ensure there are no tactical predictions we will be having a closed predictor session for this (and the final).

Everyone (apart from TK & AK) will be at the DOTF tomorrow so I suggest everyone gives me their predictions on a piece of paper at the event and I will post them all on Saturday morning (once AK & TK have presumably emailed me theirs from Florida!!).

So here are the matches...

Saturday, 10 April 2010
Aston Villa v Chelsea

Sunday, 11 April 2010
Tottenham v Portsmouth

See you in the morning!!

OK so we are gearing up for the Semi finals and I have got nearly all of the predictions. Notable absentees:

MR X - nothing yet
THE FORCE - have only received a prediction for Spuzz vs Pompee

All the rest are in and will be published before KO this afternoon

Let's hope both games are won by the teams that deserve it, so the final will be a quality affair!
Looking forward to Pompey v Villa, it'll be a great final!

The predictions are all in - looks like a Chelsea v Spurs final if we are to be believed... but who will go into the final in the lead?

NAME	AV v C	T v P
DT	1-3	2-0
FB	2-3	4-1
AK	0-2	2-0
TK	0-3	3-1
HIO	1-2	2-0
MRX	1-4	3-0
4CE	1-2	3-1
DG	2-2	2-0

Cummon Villa! Haha...Adam denied by his Dad, by Lampard!

Well no one saw that result coming!!

So with one match to go we have the updated table and a new leader.

1) TK Max - 156 points (7 correct scores + 26 correct results)
2) Mr X - 150 points (7 correct scores + 30 correct results)
3) AK47 - 139 points (7 correct scores + 34 correct results)
4) Donkey Gringo - 124 points (8 correct scores + 33 correct results)
5) The Force - 119 points (3 correct scores + 39 correct results)
6) Freebird - 109 points (4 correct scores + 29 correct results)
7) Double Trouble - 86 points (7 correct scores + 24 correct results)
8 ) Michael - 64 points (1 correct scores + 4 correct results)

Details of the final predictions to come (i've had a brainwave to add a little more spice perhaps?)... remember we are looking at 32 points for the correct result and a staggering 96 for the correct score!! Everyone still has a chance of taking the crown of the KMGC FACUP PREDICTOR CHAMPION 2010!!!!

Chelsea v Pompey! Someone won't be happy tonight!

I popped the TV on to catch the end of the match and tried looking for the Force near the corner flag but all I could see were lots of empty seats

I felt sorry for 'Arry Redchops - not!

So here we are - the culmination of the FA CUP predictor challenge.

CHELSEA v PORTSMOUTH

Send you PM's to me before Saturday morning and I can get the preds on the site before I go off to Aberdeen for some practice!

Good luck and lets see if Mr X can make it an illustrious double!

Just awaiting Donkey Gringo's prediction then all will be revealed!!!

Predictions for today - still time for DG to get his skates on!

NAME	C v P
DG	3-1
HIOK	2-0
MR X	4-1
DT	7-1
FB	4-0
Force	5-1
AK	2-0
TK	3-0

Interesting spread of predictions there with only ak47 and hiok with the same....all to play for - let's just hope for a Chelsea win for starters...did I just say that....

I agree, very interesting group of predictions! I was going for 6-1 then changed my mind - anything's possible today - except a win for Pompey!

The final scores on the doors from the FA Cup (apologies for the delay in getting this confirmed - been a bit busy driving over the past couple of days!!). Unsurprisingly no-one went for the 1-0 scoreline so it's 32 points across the board as a result

Our winner...

1) TK Max - 188 points (7 correct scores + 27 correct results)

The rest of us...

2) Mr X - 182 points (7 correct scores + 31 correct results)
3) AK47 - 171 points (7 correct scores + 35 correct results)
4) Donkey Gringo - 156 points (8 correct scores + 34 correct results)
5) The Force - 151 points (3 correct scores + 40 correct results)
6) Freebird - 141 points (4 correct scores + 30 correct results)
7) Double Trouble - 118 points (7 correct scores + 25 correct results)
8 ) Michael - 96 points (1 correct scores + 5 correct results)

Just final note - need the £5 from Mr X, The Force & DG so that I can present the £35 winnings to TK at Worthing (perhaps he'll get the coffee's in as a result)

World Cup Predictor Challenge will be announced shortly!

Well done TK, I didn't know anyone had coughed up already!
Unlucky DG & Force, many more predictions right, but not so many puntos!

Does this count as my first KMGC tour victory?

As Andy says, I didn't get as many correct results as others but it's when you get them that counts!

I had a bit of a helping hand from Frank Lampard as well. In both the semi-final and final, AK had gone for 2-0 and I went for 3-0. In the semi, Frank scored in added time to give me the 48 points and then in the final he missed a penalty that would have handed victory back to AK.

Looking forward to the World Cup predictor challenge!!

Well done TK!

The format was really exciting with more points available the closer it got to the final.

Good old Frank Jr! Let's hope he doesn't miss any in SA!
