Just before Boris went on air to tell the nation that we are entering another lockdown, he took the trouble to call me and discuss the Prediction League. He was unequivocal. "Whilst I am determined to keep schools open", he began "I accept that they need to be closed for now. However, the CL Prediction League is part of this country's heritage. I am, therefore, allowing elite football to continue so that the Prediction League can take place".
Under the new restrictions, those taking part in the Prediction League must not spend more than one hour thinking about their predictions and should be at least ten metres away from anyone else when they check their scores and find they've got all three predictions wrong.
So, it's FA Cup 3rd Round week and you can choose from an excellent selection of games. In the Prediction Cup, there are 10 1st Round replays taking place this weekend (see second post). The 64 1st Round winners will be in the 2nd Round draw on Tuesday at 2 pm (you can view the draw live at this
link). The 64 losers will have a second chance for glory by entering the less prestigious Johnstones Paint Prediction Cup. The draw for this Cup will be at the same time (well, one after the other if you are being pedantic).
If you missed Week 15's results or the Cup results, you will find them
here. As usual, if any postponements affect your predictions, you can post a replacement game as long as it hasn't kicked off.
