Exeter 2 - 1 Liverpool after 60 mins

this would be a major upset - Seventy-six league places between the sides

An excellent start for those having faith in Exeter – that ended a draw with being a two-or-more tier difference, so that’s a real nice handy TWO POINT start for:

I must admit, thought you were a bit mad, but it shows - what do we really know?!

Has the FA cup lost all credibility now? Didn't the commentator say "Liverpool equalised against the run of play against Exeter" ... ?

EXETER CITY 2-2 LIVERPOOL

Early game ... now 55 mins gone, and it's Wycombe 1-1 Aston Villa ... another "cupset" possible ?

So two games so far, and TWO surprises. Well done Wycombe for blunting Aston Villa, a 1-1 draw is very dignified.

So that means lots of people up and down the country have their first points, and a dozen of the top dogs scored yesterday and today, so already sit on 4 points before the main programme gets underway.

Good luck everyone!

The level of predictions has been astoundingly good, it’s going to be very close. There are a numerous group of people in the 10 to 12 point bracket (including yours truly), but tomorrow’s game means a few could even get past the dozen. Funnily enough there has been no six-point game, which means it’s all packed together …
Only sadness has been Newport’s game being postponed, and I’m very sorry to have to call this VOID, because I can’t let everyone wait for just one match. Bad luck if that’s been called, and indeed has amongst just a few of you, hopefully better luck next time…

bear with me just the once lads, difficult to please everyone about the Newport situation but I'll talk to a few of the mods from a few of the other forums and we'll improve the postponed status thing for next round, OK?! Sorry, this is the first time this has ever cropped up in about ten different round games over past few seasons ...
