Here's part 1 of the final of this season's FA Cup Predicta and it's Andy v Robin in the final!
Here are the rules: Look at the 2 games below and predict a result of Home Win, Away Win or Draw. You also have to rank them 10-9, ie 10 is your strongest prediction and 9 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.
We are predicting on the 2 FA Cup semi-final matches. There are also 4 bonus questions. We are predicting on the result of the games at the end of normal time.
Please have your predictions in before the first game kicks off at 5:15pm, Saturday 18th April.
Arsenal v Chelsea (Saturday 18 Apr, 5:15) Man Utd v Everton (Sunday 19 Apr, 4:00)
Bonus questions:
1. What will be the combined attendance for the 2 matches? (30 points if you're within 5,000 either way, 10 points if you're within 10,000)
2. How many goals will be scored in the 2 games? (30 points if you're spot on, 10 points if you're one out either way)
3. How many yellow cards will be shown in the 2 matches? (30 points if you're spot on, 10 points if you're within 3 either way) (note: second yellow cards for a player count towards the yellow card total but straight reds don't)
4. Which team will score the earliest goal in terms of minutes after kick-off? (30 points if you're right.)

I cant believe you guessed Arsenal to score first the same as me, I thought we'd differ there. Goals are 1 diff, so that could be crucial?
