Bosseyedduck (10) v. covered end junior (76) 3-2
Of the 128, only two entrants had names beginning with B and ending in K - and they meet in the final. After two tight games in the first two rounds, Bangkokaddick has won the last six Thais (I mean, ties) by two goals or more, requiring no replays to progress to the final. Bosseyedduck similarly struggled through the earlier rounds relying on a tight defence, but has since gone on to score freely in the last four rounds. It promises to be an epic encounter. Bangkokaddick has averaged 2.8 goals per game whereas Bosseyedduck has averaged 2.6 goals per game.

This competition was for those who lost in either of the first two rounds of the main competition. It might not have supporters singing “Abide with Me” before the game, but to the two competitors, it will be their big day out.
After struggling through the earlier rounds of the Johnstones Paint, Tor has found some good late season form reaching the final with a convincing 4-1 win over the league leader at the time, Alex Wright. Having lost to BangkokAddick in the first round of the main competition, Carl Leaburn has needed four replays to reach the final. A convincing semi final win over LenGlover ensured a day out at Wembley. Tor has averaged 2.5 goals per game whereas Carl Leaburn has averaged 2.6 goals per game.
So, what’s your prediction for the outcome of these two showpiece games?

Thai thanks for organising and adding a bit of fun to the prediction season.
(the fan from TrudenLife isnt allowed in because Roland doesnt technically own them so they're kinda the unwanted step-brother
BangkokAddick:
QPR 2 West Ham 1
Stoke 2 Sunderland 0
Birmingham 2 Charlton 0
Bosseyedduck:
Brighton v Watford 1-2
Fulham v Middlesbrough 1-2
Rotherham v Norwich 1-3
Tor:
West Brom v Liverpool 1-2
Everton v Man Utd SUN 1-2
Millwall v Derby 0-2
Carl Leaburn:

BangkokAddick is expecting a Charlton defeat to come up trumps whereas Tor is hoping that Millwall fail. Interestingly, 10 different games have been picked by the finalists.
I assume there is a large trophy?
