Looking at that I think I got 13 Scotty. Had Fowler wrong, thought it was Champions League not Europa League and got Bassong wrong, went with Kolo Toure. Which other one did I flunk?

[Rubbish2407]

Never mind, Waitrose. Didn't have a clue on that one.

[Tal]

Thought I had the entire Brazil starting XI and it was just picking any 5.

Pride comes before a fall. Junior Baiano = sad face

Rubbish2407 4 - 5 craigbetts

A very high standard of scoring, as you would expect in the semi-finals of the cup, but it was craigbetts, now residing in League 2, who progresses to the final of the cup after leading from start to finish. Rubbish2407's inability to nail the year Allardyce took over at Blackburn costs him dearly.
