Geez we were so crap tonight Chelsea still scored when down to 10 men  .

On current form it looks like Man U will overtake Ar_senal.

Thank god for man u giving me something to be happy for sporting wise over the years,MT.
Cristiano Ronaldo has had such a mind blowing season so far and  sir alex didnt have to bring he or rooney on until some 70 odd minutes into the game last night.
After the 4-0 trouncing of arsenal  a few weeks back it might be a matter of time before man u really bring it home after a sluggish start to the season and  assume top position and another title.

Yep TT. That 4-0 flogging in the FA Cup plus Eduardo's horrific injury seems to have taken the wind out of the Gunners' sails while Man U continues to chalk up big wins. Chelsea looks more a threat on form than Ar_senal at the minute.

A good night for both the red and blue halves of Merseyside.

Bolton 1 - 3 Liverpool 
Everton 3 - 1 Portsmouth

Arsenal will limp home. Under Wenger they have a blistering plan A, but relatively little to fall back on.

Man U are more dynamic than that and have a more versatile squad.

Don't write off Chelsea, they have a couple of easy of easy weeks and then get down to business. If they can get revenge over the mighty Tottenham, then they face Arsenal and United at home, with United also having to play Liverpool and Arsenal before the end of the season.

This is very much a three horse race and Chelsea haven't played anywhere near their best. Despite that I think they have the best natural goalscorer in Drogba.

A lot will depend on when these teams drop out of Europe.

I'm looking at Chelsea's $6.00 odds on Centrebet at the moment...

FA Cup Result

Man Utd 0 Portsmouth 1   

United dominated and could not score. Even subbed their keeper who was inj and he got sent off bring down the Pompey player for the penalty in the games defining moment. That's football.

Barnsley knocked out Chelsea too  so there's no big 4 clubs left in the FA Cup.

Great for us neutrals. A good chance now of a minnow winning it and what made the FA Cup special.

Portsmouth and Barnsley through to the semis. Middlesbrough or Cardiff City and Bristol Rovers or West Bromwich Albion to join them.

As for the EPL, Kevin Keegan is dead man walking at Newcastle. They haven't won in 12 weeks and are only 3 points off relegation.
