HERE are the results of the Fantasy FA Cup Fourth Round. Some of you spotted the howler, that I typed in one team If Only twice, when in the first tie drawn it should have been Planet Priestfield's name in the box ( I typed in the wrong team code number). Apologies to Caroline Blackmore and current Fantasy Cup holder Mike Walsh. All has now been put right now though.

We had two drawn ties decided on Home Advantage - with red zoner Nadeem Khan just scraping through against Paul Crosbie while Anthony Cappaert knocked out current champ Neil Farley in what was the shock of the round. The most thumping win came from Amon Cohen who sank Gareth Morgan's side 30-7. Form manager of the moment Amar Singh racked up another 36 point Cup total, this time the biggest of the round, to ease through. Current Cup holder Mike Walsh stayed on course with a 26-15 victory over Sanjay Gohil.

The Fifth Round draw will be held on the Wednesday before the matches. As usual, there will be no transfers allowed that week. So if you want to use transfers to replace players no longer in the Cup do it sooner rather than later.

THRILLER GOES TO EXTRA TIME: The glory goes to Mike Walsh after the highest-scoring final in Fantasy Cup history that swung this way and that but which in the end was determined by our rule covering draws in the semis and final where there is no home advantage. The winner here was the side that scored most points throughout the competition.

I have to say I was surprised when I totted the points up. Lizzie Fairrie had an advantage on him because she played in the third round whereas Mike (pictured left with his trophy at our awards night) got a bye. So she had an extra round's points to add to her total, the only compensation for being drawn to play in the limited third round.

Before adding the points up I was sure that would be enough to clinch it for Lizzie, but Mike scored so well in each round - more than 20 a match - that he made up for the round disadvantage and squeezed home by only TWO POINTS with a 124 total to Lizzie's 122. So Mike lifts the Cup and the £100 cheque in what has definitely been the most exciting of all our Fantasy Cup competitions.

RONALDO SETTLES THRILLER SEMI: Former Fantasy Cup winner Emma Cole was within a few seconds of victory in her all-girl tie with Lizzie Fairrie - only to have it snatched away from her by a delayed substitution in the Man United-Newcastle tie. She was leading 9-7 with 14 minutes to go - and Ronaldo, in Lizzie's team, was about to be taken off and replaced by Smith as soon as the ManU bench could get the ref's attention. It looked odds on Emma would be the first manager to reach two Fantasy Cup finals. Then Van Nistelhorse picked out the Fallover Kid who used his last touch in the game to sweep the ball past Given for the fourth goal and five precious points that took Lizzie into the Final. Ah, the agony and ecstasy of the Fantasy Cup

In the other semi, there was an imperious triumph for in-form Mike Walsh whose side slammed in the top score of 28 points to annihalate Tom Chesshyre, with Pires and Ronaldo both scoring 10 points each.

It makes for a very tight final. Taking away the duplicate players in both sides who cancel each other out, it is Lizzie's Henry and Rooney against Mike's Toure and Pires. Lizzie faces a tense wait to see if Henry's groin injury clears up in time for the May 21 final. Once again, the results were:

PLANET PRIESTFIELD	28	10	COME ON YOU GILLS
THE GIRL CAN'T KICK IT	9	12	THE ROTAVATORS

FA CUP SIXTH ROUND RESULTS: It was the end of the road for Olly Maxey's dreams of a first-ever league and cup double as he went down by only two points to arch rival and former office colleague Mike Walsh in the hardest fought tie of the round. Former Cup winner Emma Cole saw off the challenge of Neil Sweetman to reach the semis thanks mainly to a rare clean sheet from Newcastle's Stephen Carr. Early league leader Lizzie Fairrie toppled Spurs fan Mark Solomons, making it a weekend of double Cup depression for him while Tom Chesshyre can thank the top-scoring player of the round - Paul Scholes with 12 points - for easing past another double chaser, Neil Farley.

The draw for the semi-finals will be made the Wednesday before the games. Transfers will be banned for the four semi finalists from the posting of the draw. Here's the full classified Sixth Round check:

PLANET PRIESTFIELD	21	19	CHICKEN MCMANAMAN
THE ROTAVATORS	15	12	SILENT BUT LEDLEY

OVERPAID RUBBISH	15	21	COME ON YOU GILLS

FA CUP FIFTH ROUND RESULTS: League leader and Fantasy FA Cup holder Olly Maxey notched the highest score of the round with 27 points to sail comfortably into the quarter finals. Olly benefited from Ronaldo and Defoe's goals to easily see off Andrew Penman. Former Cup winner Emma Cole also booked her place in the Sixth Round draw with victory over Mike Barnard. Brown zoner Emma Ramsey paid the price of making no transfers in the run-up to the games in her tie with Lizzie Fairrie.

Regular red zoners Andy Jones, Amar Singh and Caroline Blackmore all fell to sides hovering on the edge of the top six managed by Mike Walsh, Neil Sweetman and Mark Solomons respectively. Neil beat Amar by a single point in the closest tie of the round. Another close tie was between Tom Chesshyre and mid-tabler Owen Anslow with Tom winning out by three points. Second placed Neil Farley kept his double hopes alive with an easy victory over Steve Keenan.

The Quarter Finals draw will be posted on Wednesday , March 9, before the ties are played over March 12 and 13. As usual there will be a transfer ban from the moment the draw is posted until all the original ties are played. Remember: Scores are based on the original tie only. Replays do not count towards your total. In the event of a draw, Home Advantage counts - ie. the team first out of the hat in the tie goes through.

FA CUP FOURTH ROUND: In the top-of-the table clash Olly Maxey triumphed narrowly over Mal Tattersall as the rest of the then top five eased through into the Fifth Round. Sixth placed Peter Thornton went out in the closest fought tie to Mike Barnard by a single point.

Shock of the round was 12th placed Amon Cohen's demise at the hands of basement boss Emma Ramsey. Emma is the only survivor from the bottom four and has all of her transfers left. So she could prove a dangerous one to draw in the Fifth Round. Top score of the round was 49 points, thumped in by 2000 Cup winner Emma Cole. In the office derby Owen Anslow saw off Emma Yates.

The Fifth Round Draw will be posted on the Wednesday before the games on February 19 and 20 and the transfer ban will again apply that week.Here is the classified check. Totals were matched against each other in each Fantasy Cup tie and the one with the most points went through. Scores are based on the original tie only. Replays do not count towards your total.

FA CUP THIRD ROUND RESULTS: So many Third Round matches dangled on the re-arranged Burnley-Liverpool game, but that nice Mr Benitez saved me a lot of mathematics by dropping his stars and giving a game to the team coach driver, the Anfield ground staff and the Kop pie seller. The only score affected was Nadeem Khan's. He needed a goal from Baros to come from behind and pip Martin Phillips in their tie but all the Czech striker did was get booked.

Biggest scalp of the round was 12th placed Troy De Ruyter, beaten by my lad Leo Burke. Closest tie was between fellow QPR fans Emma Cole and Phil Davies. It ended seven-all, with Emma - herself a former Fantasy Cup winner - going through on Home advantage. Former league leader Peter Thornton notched the biggest score of the round, his Professionally Foul side putting 37 points past Colin Simpson's Kent Flyers.

High scores are worth getting. When we get to the semi-final and final stage, the amount of points you have scored throughout the Cup will be used to decide who wins in the event of a draw (as there is no home advantage in semis and final in the real Cup). It's the one advantage too of having to play in the Third Round - you get a head start over all the smug managers who got byes to the Fourth.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: In the past I've had complaints about managers using tactical transfers to gain advantage in a tie before it's even played (ie picking players who are in the other team to cancel out opposition). So I've re-adjusted the rules a bit. The Fourth Round draw will take place next Wednesday before Cup weekend. NO TRANSFERS will be allowed from the moment the draw is posted until the ties have been played. So basically I'm accepting no transfers from next Wednesday to the following Monday. If you send any in during that time they will be held over till the following week.

Here's the full classified check of the Fantasy FA Cup Third Round results. For those who've been away, if your teams's not here you were lucky enough to get a bye to Round four:
