Full House v Nine
Fairport Convention v Liege & Lief
On the surface the easiest round but as it's fantasy and based on opinion not perceived truth, then the pluckiest two teams deserve to be in the final, the Nine album not the most attractive on the surface but the willingness to battle and fight there way to the final always there and the creative first line up get to show their spirit and surprise the opposition, although if they have the stamina to go the distance in the competition remains to be seen.

Full House v Nine
Fairport Convention v Liege & Lief
So on to the Final - as I'm going to be away for the weekend with no internet access I would take this opportunity to register my vote now. (Oohn the audacity - match fixing - whatever next!) On the assumption that the final does indeed turn out to be FH v L&L then my vote goes to Full House. Liege & Lief is undoubtedly a milestone, without which etc etc but I've always found it an album to admire rather than wholeheartedly love, whereas i fell in love with Full House the first time I took it out of its gatefold sleeve & popped it on the old dansette.

Like I said way back when this thing started, why don't we just appoint L&L the honorary champion and let the rest fight it out. Maybe we name the tournament after it, sort of like a corporate sponsor. Anyway...

No dark horses here I'm afraid.
Full House v Nine
Fairport Convention v Liege & Lief The youthful contenders (and sentimental favorites) had a good run, but unfortunately came up against a more powerful opponent.

Can I ask the organising body if we can we have an official ruling on whether Poor Will or Nobby Thankful are eligible to play if Full House do get through?
I know Poor Will was on a suspension for 31 years, but is he now considered part of the team?
And Nobby Thankful - is he now considered a 'proper' Full House player? Despite now starring as a striker for XXXV, I know that strictly speaking he's on loan from The History Of F.C., and before that only ever played one-a-side matches.
These matters need resolving before the final gets underway as they may greatly affect the outcome.

Oh heavens. It is that can of worms is it?
The view of FAFA is that Poor Will sneaks in as part of the original squad albeit relegated to the subs bench.
Nobby was never really a part of the team and was brought in on loan from the Compilations league without ever having been wholly integrated. As such he is cup tied and ineligible for the final.

Blimey - up until now I'd also assumed that mercurial Paraguyan striker Benny Buncharosas had been an integral member of the Full House team. This sort of scandal could blow the world of Association Fairport wide apart!  |

Sir B is in the same boat as Nobby. Benny is cup tied by virtue of having played for his eponymous team, eliminated at the group stage. The Full House side will have to get by on the strength of their original signings and that should be enough for anyone!  |

Full House v Nine
After the full 120 minutes the score was even, and so we went to penalties. three hours later the score was 153-153 and we went to the coint toss.
The coin landed on its edge.
The Edge called Bono who said that Nine was the winner.

Poor Will was removed from the original team due to his inability to play in his assigned position. that original decision should be upheld, if he is allowed to play do we get to bring in Sir Pat and the Quiet one for the final if as most believe the final match is a foregone conclusion.
Surely the beautiful game should be based on the original line up not late substitutions.
