The first three of this week’s matches are already looking foregone conclusions and it’s only 8.30pm on Monday night. The final tie, however, has been fairly nip and tuck for the most part with both sides having held the lead at one point in time or other.
Rod Stewart 5 v The Jesus and Mary Chain 19
XTC (2) 19 v Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds 8
The Smiths (2) 19 v Husker Du 8
Durutti Column 12 v Paul Quinn 12
This week’s half-time tune, as per the newly adopted practice, comes from the ICA of a singer or band knocked out in the last round by one of the above eight sides:-
mp3 : Teenage Fanclub – Don’t Look Back

I’m losing faith…
I had hopes some of these might be closer than last week’s boring walkovers. But mostly, no.
Paul Quinn
Just realised that we haven’t voted

I already voted but I’m submitting another vote for XTC because voting irregularities are now okay in my country.
Bob may not forgive you Brian. Not too late to re-vote.
Well done Martin. More votes for Paul Quinn!
A bit like the early rounds of the Carabao Cup this week but;
J&MC cruise through with the reserves
Nick Cave wins easily in a tie that promised more
The Smiths quality just wins out over the more muscular approach of HD and
Paul Quinn edges through in front of the lowest crowd of the competition
Come on Durutti Column fans, make yourself heard.

Whisper it but, overall, not my favourite week for songs.
