I've been having a lovely weekend, and even a full day of teaching 'orrible little oiks yesterday couldn't dampen my spirits. It's amazing how a win calms the restive soul!
It went quite well for you guys too! Many of you chose Bamford as the first goalscorer and so it looks like I've got a lot of transferring and calculating to do again today but I'm happy to do it! What happy and cheerful little @nathen007 I am lol
Anyway, let's get on to today and we have some FA Cup action. Can my happiness be compounded by Man. U getting knocked out?!
@nathen007's Prediction
I absolutely think Leicester are going to take this. All Man. U care about is the league and with a number of players with minor injuries and niggles or just coming back from injury I can't see Ole taking any risks. Pogba, who got the winner midweek has always got a point to prove and is dangerous but with Rashford being taken off against Milan he will surely be a big doubt and will probably join Cavani and Martial on the sidelines.
Leicester have no major injury problems and although battling to maintain their top 4 position, will be giving this one a real go.
This is going to be a very open game and one for neutrals to enjoy!
Prediction: Leicester 2 : 1 Man. United - First Goalscorer: Vardy
Simply write the name of the FIRST GOALSCORER and the CORRECT SCORE as a comment. The competition closes 5 minutes before kick-off which is 17.00 GMT (09.00 @metzli time! )
The Small Print
In the first goalscorer competition, own goals do not count. In the correct score competition, it's the score after 90mins. Extra time and penalties do not count and the pot for each competition will roll-over if there is no winner. If more than one person chooses the same first goalscorer or correct score, the prize is shared and everyone gets a little upvote! It seems I also need to add, one entry per person. Don't forget the new rule that only people with a rep of 45 or above are eligible to enter unless they have been approved. The bonus will be added to any winnings ONLY if Leeds United win and/or Man U lose and all payouts will never exceed 50% of post payout. Other bonuses paid out at my discretion.
