FA Cup Predicta - Quarter-finals

[Panda]

Welcome to the quarter-finals of this season’s FA Cup Predicta!

Here are the rules: Look at the 10 games below and predict a result of Home Win, Away Win or Draw. You also have to rank them 10-1, ie 10 is your strongest prediction and 1 your weakest. Each ranking/number can only be used once. If you get a prediction correct, you will receive points accoring to the ranking you used for that match, multiplied by 10. If you are wrong, you will be deducted the number points equal to the ranking used. Predictions for this round can be made in the thread or PMed to me if you want secrecy.

Please have your predictions in before the games kick off at 3pm, Saturday 24th January.

In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker question will determine the winner.

The draw:
Andy v KingB
misterhamster v Frag
Robin v Tom
Maximo Mark v suedehead

Is it fair that I go through with a worse score than 2 people who lost, I know that's how the draw was made, it just feels mean on them
