Welcome! It’s the day you’ve all been waiting for, for so many reasons, but I hope the main one is that we’ll find out who takes the bronze medal. I jest. We will find that out but the reason you’re mostly all here is to see who will be crowned champion: DaveMathieson84 or Charlemaagne
If you’re still with us, well done you. Day 13 (that’s 13 consecutive days of nonsense) is upon us and we’re down to just 4 from 24 starters. Here’s a look at the bracket so you can see what has gone before:
Hello! We’re into the serious business phase of the tournament, a point underlined by the fact that from here on out all games are played in a neutral venue no matter how difficult it makes life for me. Here’s a reminder of the upcoming games:
Hello! The finishing line is getting ever closer, 16 has already become 12 and after today it’ll be 8. We’ll be halving the number every day from now too, so as good old JR would say: business is about to pick up.
Hello! Day 10 will see four knockout games which means…four more managers will depart. Today we’ll be looking at the left side of the draw, whether you want to call it the top half or not is up to you.
Greetings and welcome to the final day of group games in the 2021 CM Cup. It’s been 8 days of (mostly) high quality drama and today promises to be no different. Group E includes the reigning champion who is on the verge of being dethroned; Group F is probably the tightest of all six with just about every result possible for all four teams involved.

Hello! Welcome back to the 2021 CM Cup. With two groups playing to a finish yesterday the last 16 draw is starting to take shape. With Groups C and D ending today we’ll know 8 of the knockout contestants and most likely a few more thanks to the third place criteria. Here’s how the groups stand as of kick off:
It’s judgment day for Groups A and B! Both tables look almost symmetrical with two teams already in the last 16. Importantly, nobody is yet eliminated which means everything matters. EVERYTHING. Let’s get to it.
Hello! What day is it? Saturday maybe. All that really matters is that it is Day 6 of the 2021 CM Cup and today we’ll see Groups E and F play out their second matchday. Can defending champion Rob turn it around? Will we have more of an idea who will escape Group F? Let’s find out.
Day five! We’re about a third of the way through which will either be music to your ears or fingers down a chalkboard depending on your enjoyment of this years entertainment. It’s back to Groups C and D today which are both looking quite symmetrical as it stands. Four sides will be looking to secure win number 2 to put themselves in the last 16:
