Bad luck to MattB and Hardsy... nice runs in the Cup guys, beaten by the tough games of the Semi's.



OK, back to League actions, and the results of games were:

R	M	HOME		AWAY	H	A	RES
34	1	Adelaide U	v	Melb Victory	2	2	D
	2	West Ham	v	Sunderland	1	0	H

So your head to heads finished as:

The Sarge wins and retains the Belt... He defends next fortnight against

@Amul82

@SgtButane

Thats right, we have a week off tipping for international duties.

Which also means this was the last game for March, so our Player of the Month for March is The Sarge. 4 wins in 5 games this month and 19 points scored an astonishing record.
He joins Hardsy as a two time winner.


And the full table is here.

Mar 21:

OK... all your League and Cup tips are lodged... and I'm taking this as a comment compliment.

@FMIChamps @SgtButane Officially the hardest week so far for the Cup tips.
— David Hards (@hardsy05) March 20, 2015

OK... CUP SEMI FINALS ARE HERE!

R	M	HOME		AWAY	TheM	Nayl		Hard	SgtB
34	1	Wolves	v	Derby Co	A	H		A	H
	2	Bournemouth	v	Middlesborough	D	D		A	H
	3	Hamburger SV	v	Hertha Berlin	H	H		H	H
	4	Newcastle	v	Arsenal	A	A		A	A

	C	St Etienne	v	Lille	A	A		H	H
	D	Watford	v	Ipswich	H	D		A	H
	E	Sanf Hiroshima	v	Urawa Reds	D	D		H	H

And by the run of these tips we can see...
MattB vs MichaelN hinges on Wolves v Derby. A win either way wins the tie, and a draw sends it to penalties.
Then it comes down to Cardiff and Birmingham, where tips above split the players. A Brimingham win sends the game to the last two games, of which Watford / Ipswich is the decider.
And after all that, if Ipswich win, we come back again next week.

Hardsy vs the Sarge has 2 different tips in the first five, Schalke / Leverkusen as the tie breaker if it goes to the first 3 penalties, with the draw sending it to Watford / Ipswich again as the decider. Or another replay.
