FA Cup quarter-final results

The top four in the league all go through... spooky!

Athletico Phoenix 2 v 1 Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Fred West Landscape Gardening XI 2 v 0 The Fabulous Artisans
San Dimas High School 2 v 4 Claymore Athletic FC
YTFIB 1 v 2 Trusted By Millions

Claymore's Sergio Aguero has been slow to recover from injury but seems to be back to his best after two goals helped Clive through. The first put his side into the lead, the second made it 2-2 after Theo Walcott and James Milner had given San Dimas the lead. Cleans won the game for Claymore through Michael Dawson and Branislav Ivanovic (perhaps lucky to still be on the pitch after putting an opponent into what World Wrestling would term a sleeper hold).

It was clean sheets for Fred too in his win against the Artisans. Craig Dawson and Kurt Zouma settling a mostly uneventful match.

Athletico bounced back from their weekend defeat to Nil Satis to knock out the same opponents. A deflected Nikica Jelavic shot put Paul ahead on 22 minutes but Brian turned it round in the last 16 minutes thanks to a debut goal from Dame N'Doye and a Robin van Persie spot-kick, although there was also a spectacular Rob Green goalkeeping performance in this one too.

Trusted edged out YTFIB in the last quarter-final. Steven Gerrard's farewell tour continued with a spot-kick on 53 minutes but Samir Nasri got the equaliser for Julian 14 minutes from time. Just as we looked at booking the replay in our calendars Joleon Lescott got the winning clean for Beef.

The semi-finals are set for midweek 3/4 March.
