FA Cup quarter-final results

Claymore won't be defending their trophy after crashing out to a powerful Trusted display. Two previous winners and two teams who've never picked up a pot go into the yellow bag for the semi-final draw.

Aardvark Abacus 2 v 0 Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Fred West Landscape Gardening XI 1 v 2 YTFIB
The Dead Parrots 0 v 1 Final Fantasy XI
Trusted By Millions 5 v 2 Claymore Athletic FC

Holders Claymore had featured in the last three finals but their hopes of a winning hat-trick were dashed by Trusted. Clive had led twice in this one, through Sergio Aguero after 15 minutes and Olivier Giroud just after the break. Beef turned it round five minutes later in a two-minute spell. Edin Dzeko levelling and then Adam Lallana steering in a minute later. Cleans from Gary Cahill and Phil Bardsley completed the win. Will Aguero's hamstring injury hamper Clive's title chances too I wonder?

The rest of the ties were closer. Nil Satis held out against the Aardvarks for the best part of 80 minutes before Steven Jovetic's shot deflected in and Vincent Kompany doubled the advantage with a couple of minutes to go. YTFIB love a Cup run and they saw off Fred in unusual circumstances. Fabian Delph diverted into his own net on nine minutes to give Fred the lead but Julian levelled shortly after through Jason Puncheon, now redeemed after that shocking penalty miss of a couple of weeks ago. The winner came from Delph, this time at the right end, when he fired in off the underside of the bar. The Final Fantasy/Dead Parrots game was settled by one goal, Yaya Toure getting it from the spot for Ceri. What a signing the Ivorian has been.
