Forgive the cliche but 'a game of two halves' is certainly what Sundays trip to Old Trafford was. In danger of losing our 27 game unbeaten run in FA Cup matches (excl. penalties) - we came back from 2-0 down to earn a replay at Old Trafford.
We have a new leader . Well done to TCW who correctly predicted that Hernandez would score first and leapfrogs CFC 1L1L1Cat the top. A the other end there was a bloodbath as 11 predictors were relegated . That is the last relegation of the season so well done to the rest of you, you've survived . If you are not one of the lucky 48, you are welcome to predict but you won't go on the board this season.
Next up is the return leg against Bucherest (Thursday 14th March 8.05 KO)

Relegation Zone;
If you are in the relegation zone (the grey bit) after the 20th game, the 30th game, the 40th game etc etc then you lose all of your points and get taken off the leaderboard. You can still re-enter, but you'll start from zero.
Scoring Points;
Correct Score - 8 pts
Correct First Goalscorer - 5 pts
Correct Result - 3 pts
Perfect Prediction - 20 pts
Just a reminder that you can predict 0-0 with a first Goalscorer. You can't get a perfect prediction for a 0-0 but you can hedge your bets slightly by going for a goalless draw and having a go at getting the FGS
