an unexpected bit of luck, that! however, having been dumped out by mrs macc's feyenoord once already, i find myself up against my nemesis again at the weekend... I hadn't spotted that! It's a good job I offloaded Ajax when I did!

Results time:
Saturday 24th January
Cambuur (eliminated) 1-2 PSV Eindhoven (Bradninch) FC Dordrecht (eliminated) 1-0 Excelsior (Sir Roger) - Sir Roger eliminated PEC Zwolle (Gazza) 1-1 AZ Alkmaar (Big Fudge) - tie-break SC Heerenveen (countyfan) 4-1 Vitesse (eliminated)
Sunday 25th January
Ajax (ars) 0-0 Feyenoord (Mrs Macc) - tie-break NAC Breda (eliminated) 0-0 Willem II (Dudley) Go Ahead Eagles (eliminated) 1-0 ADO Den Haag (Downy) - Downy eliminated
Right then, Sir Roger and Downy have both been knocked out in 1-0 defeats away from home, and two of Gazza, Fudgie, ars and Mrs Macc will be joining them. Bradninch, countyfan and Dudley are the only three guaranteed a place in the next round.
So, for the tie-break (and to give Fudgie some time to enter as he's currently in Canadialand), could Gazza, Fudgie, ars and Mrs Macc please send me their predictions for the time of the first goal in the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg between Sheff Utd and Spurs on Wednesday. Whomever is nearest to the correct time of the first goal from each pair will proceed, with the others knocked out.
Thanks
Sandy

The time of the first goal in the Sheff Utd v Spurs match last night was 28 minutes.
Here are everyone's predictions:
Ars 62 mins Mrs Macc 31 mins
Gazza 35 mins Fudgie 18 mins
So, ars - for the second time - and (by the narrowest of margins) Fudgie are eliminated, and it's Mrs Macc and Gazza who proceed to the next round.
Fixtures to follow.

One thing of which you can be sure, exile. She didn't bother seeking any advice from her worse half!

Results time:
Friday 30th January
FC Dordrecht (eliminated) 0-0 SC Heerenveen (countyfan)
Saturday 31st January
PSV Eindhoven (Bradninch) 2-1 Willem II (Dudley) - Dudley eliminated Sunday 1st February
Feyenoord (Mrs Macc) 2-1 ADO Den Haag (eliminated) FC Utrecht (eliminated) 0-2 PEC Zwolle (Gazza)
So we just say goodbye to Dudley at this stage, with countyfan, Bradninch, Mrs Macc and Gazza making up our semi-finalists.
We need to get down to 3 for the final. If more than one person is eliminated in the next set of fixtures, those eliminated players will go into a tie-break to see which of them is given a reprieve.
And, as it happens, the next set of fixtures aren't too far away!
Tuesday 3rd February
NAC Breda (eliminated) v PSV Eindhoven (Bradninch)
Wednesday 4th February
SC Heerenveen (countyfan) v Feyenoord (Mrs Macc) PEC Zwolle (Gazza) v FC Dordrecht (eliminated)
Results to be published on Thursday, with the tie-break if necessary.

And we have our three finalists - although who would have predicted it would be Mrs Macc and Feyenoord who would be eliminated?
Tuesday 3rd February
NAC Breda (eliminated) 0-2 PSV Eindhoven (Bradninch)
Wednesday 4th February
SC Heerenveen (countyfan) 3-1 Feyenoord (Mrs Macc) - Mrs Macc eliminated PEC Zwolle (Gazza) 4-0 FC Dordrecht (eliminated)
So, our three finalists are Bradders, countyfan and Gazza.
As with previous competitions, I have now jumbled up all the eliminated teams and need the three of you to choose two more numbers each from 1 to 15. You'll then have your three teams for the final round of fixtures taking place on Saturday and Sunday.
If you could all respond to this thread asap with your choices, I'll announce the teams for the final and the fixtures.
