FA Cup Rd 4 Round-Up

Well, what can I say!?  The FA Cup continued to throw up a few surprises, but not that many and very few that I had actually gambled on.  However Crawley did beat Torquay, which was part of my Accumulator and also became the first non league team to reach the Fifth Round since about 1996!

When all is said and done, and my Goal-Rush and Accumulator were falling to pieces before my eyes, it was Watford v Brighton Hove Albion that made my weekend somewhat miserable.  A great result for Brighton Hove Albion to beat Watford at Vicarage Road though!  Results on the Goal-Rush as follows;

Watford 0-1 Brighton Hove Albion*
Hull 0-0 Queens Park Rangers*
Rochdale vs Charlton * Postponed due to a frozen ditch
Birmingham City 3-2 Coventry City
Bolton Wanderers 0-0 Wigan Athletic
Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 Hereford
Torquay 0-1 Crawley Town
Southampton 1-2 Manchester United
Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Stoke City

As you can see, I wasn't even close!

My Accumulator went as follows;
Burnley to beat Burton Albion- CORRECT
Tottenham Hotspurs to beat Fulham - incorrect, Fulham won
Crawley Town to beat Torquay - CORRECT
Watford to beat Brighton Hove Albion - incorrect, Brighton Hove Albion won
Nottingham Forest to beat West Ham - incorrect, West Ham won
Stoke to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers - CORRECT

Current standings are now £34 placed and £18 won.
