Big Inter-forum FA Cup Upsets Game (3rd Rd)
One-off Weekend Game
Happy new year guys and lasses! Have fun on the new FA Cup Upsets game - this is now becoming a well-loved feature! For the 2nd Round we had over 120 entries, and 21 forums finally took part amazing, but lets beat that this time! And its dead easy to play, and its open absolutely to all
Have a look at the paired teams for the 3rd Round on the following post - there are Premier, championship, League 1, League 2, Conference (Blue Square) Premier and even lower included on the list below. I'd like to invite you to call for
FIVE
matches where you see a possible upset on the cards! By upset, it must obviously be a lower league side winning (or at least drawing) against a higher league side. You haven't got to give any score at all or call a draw or win, simply guess which will be the successful 'lower tier club' or minnow teams on the day! If you get it wrong doesnt matter at all, you simply dont get awarded points for that game or games and will surely apply to all of us in some of the games.
So how do you get points?
If in your selected games a lower league side does indeed win you have 3 points. If the lower league side force a replay then it is 1 point (doesnt matter if they later lose the replay, just the initial game is taken into account).
But ... bonus - if you choose a real upset a team from a league TWO tiers OR MORE lower than their opponents (according to the levels below) then those points are DOUBLED. This is the real betting man's stuff - the more you risk with tier difference the more points you get, but there again, an upset is much less likely!! So you need to weigh things up!!
To help you, see the leagues written in after each team (in next post) to make an easier selection:
PR
= premier league
CH
= championship
L1
= League Division 1
L2
= League Division 2
CPr
= Conference Premier
C-Lwr
= lower than Conference premier level
**
as an extra help, two tier (or more) differences are shown with double asterisks.
THE GAMES TO CHOOSE FROM:
Sat 5 Jan 2013
Brighton (CH) V Newcastle (PR)
Aldershot (L2) V Rotherham (L2) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
Aston Villa (PR) V Ipswich (CH)
Barnsley (CH) V Burnley (CH) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
** Macclesfield (CPr) V Cardiff (CH)
Blackburn (CH) V Bristol City (CH) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
Bolton (CH) V Sunderland (PR)
Charlton (CH) V Huddersfield (CH) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
** Crawley (L1) V Reading (PR)
Crystal Palace (CH) V Stoke (PR)
Derby (CH) V Tranmere (L1)
Fulham (PR) V Blackpool (CH)
Hull (CH) V Leyton Orient (L1)
Leeds United (CH) V Birmingham (CH) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
** Leicester (CH) V Burton Albion (L2)
** Luton (CPr) V Wolves (CH)
Man City (PR) V Watford (CH)
** Middlesbrough (CH) V Hastings Utd (C-Lwr)
Millwall (CH) V Preston (L1)
Nottm Forest (CH) V Oldham (L1)
Oxford Utd (L2) V Sheff Utd (L1)
Peterborough (CH) V Norwich (PR)
QPR (PR) V West Brom (PR) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)

Southend (L2) V Brentford (L1)
** Tottenham (PR) V Coventry (L1)
** Wigan (PR) V Bournemouth (L1)
West Ham (PR) V Man Utd (PR) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
Sunday 6th January 2013
Swansea (PR) V Arsenal (PR) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
** Mansfield (CPr) V Liverpool (PR)
Monday 7th January 2013
** Cheltenham (L2) V Everton (PR)
Honorary prizes
: gold medal/s, silver medal/s, bronze medal/s and diploma/s of honour, for all those on a high points total. You play at both an individual level for personal glory! and for your forum; forums will be also be classed according to the average mark of its posters (but a minimum of 5 entries is required of each forum to make this a fair average).
How did the 2nd Round go?
the overall winner was Disorganised1 of the Coventry Sky Blue Talk (incredible, scooping maximum points available as well!), with the runners-up Royal Crisp (Reading - Royals Rendezvous) and Rhys Lighting 63 (Fulham Friends of Fulham) also doing excellently.
Top team forum boards were the Hemel Hempstead Tudor Talk, followed by Barnet The Beehive, Manchester City MCFC Forum, Swansea Planet Swans and then in 5th spot my own board Royals Rendezvous.
Have fun - answers on this thread please remember to simply name FIVE games where an upset might occur in your opinion (and please you all five options up, its in your and your forums interest!). CAREFUL closing time: 11.59am SATURDAY mid-day - that's because the Brighton v Newcastle game kicks off at 12.30 pm, and I need over half-an-hour of checking grace. Points and placings for this one-off weekend game will be published within 48 hours of the last game of the round to be played (Wednesday latest). In case of postponement, sorry, bad luck, you lose that game but in case of abandonment we take the score at stopping moment as valid
A complete record of everyone entering from every forum can be found here, and later every score total and break-down too:

My 5 choices to get the ball rolling:
** Crawley (L1) V Reading (PR)
Crystal Palace (CH) V Stoke (PR)
** Luton (CPr) V Wolves (CH)
Sheff Wed (CH) V MK Dons (L1)
Southend (L2) V Brentford (L1)
That’s all you have to do! – just copy and paste your 5 potential upsets. We’ll do the rest.
Updates will be made daily or almost daily on each forum…

Good start lads, just one more needed to guarantee a forum entry as well as individual efforts.
Seeing as last time you had more entries than any other forum -
17
I think it was - I'm sure you can keep 'em coming in!!
