God I just need this season to end.

Why? It's the most hilarious season in a while...

... Oh, right. Ha!

Important weekend all round, for my teams anyway. Carlisle have 2 important games to keep their slim play-off chances alive, and at this stage of the season every game is important for United.

Bring on Easter weekend!
 
It wasn't too clever today. We certainly got bossed around by a very physical team.

For the first time in a while almost every league has no definite promotion / relegation teams. At least it will keep things interesting until May.

Indeed, that was shouted quite a bit at our East Anglian friends over the course of the afternoon.

One title could be settled today, mind –Dagenham and Redbridge will be crowned Conference Champions this afternoon if they get a result against Aldershot.
 
Two defeats in a row for Manchester United. That treble is starting to look a little shaky now.

Chelsea didn't fair much better in the European cup and face a very tricky away leg in the cauldron of the Mestalla stadium.
 
After an amazing night of football for English clubs in the Champions League (why can't the national team do the same?) this lipped under the net:

Chris Coleman has been sacked by Fulham. I feel sorry for the guy and I think he has done an OK job there, it doesn't help when he isn't given much money.

Hehe, no better way to bounce back than to go score 7 against an Italian defence.

Emphatic. That was never an "Italian defence" though. Still, take away nothing from the Man Utd camp, they nearly made a cricket score out of them.
 
Good win by Man U, I just hope it doesn't give them momentum in the league. My boys are only 3 points back, but I need them to drop another point somewhere.

And will anything save Mourinho's job?
 
I hope we still have some role to play in the title decider. Would be lovely to beat Chelsea in the second last game of the season (at the Emirates) thus ending their chance of winning the title. 😀
 
Could be one of the best finishes to a season ever, with the top2 possibly meeting 3 times in the final month.

Chelsea vs United for the Premiership
Chelsea vs United in the FA Cup final
Chelsea vs United in the Champions League final
 
Prior to 3pm yesterday afternoon I saw relegation as a possibility, at 5pm I saw it as a likelihood.

We've three games left and what it boils down to us that we have to equal or better what Leeds do. The problem is that they've started winning matches and are fighting to stay up, as for us I can't see where we'll get the points we need from. To say yesterday was poor was an understatement and we were lucky to get a point. Shocking.

Anyway, sorry for the tangent. Er, Premier League, right? Wigan are winning at the moment.
 
Not sure if the penalty given to Spurs was there, guess its a 50-50. I thought the contact was outside the box. Bad luck for Wigan.

The relegation battle is starting to really heat up, 6 points separating 5 teams. Watford is done for the year.
 
There's only one Carlos Tevez!!!

West Ham have scored, which means Chelsea only managed eight clean-sheet League wins on the bounce, one short of the record.


Losers 🙂

Really? That's very unfortunate.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but who currently holds that particular record? It strikes me that they must be a very good team indeed to achieve such a feat. 😀

Meanwhile, Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein – him gorn!

They were way back when they set the record. These days they struggle against minnow teams like Macclesfield and Torquay 🙄

Oh well, that's what injuries bring...

Actually, while we're on the subject of physical oddities, and Carlos Tevez...

I wonder this everytime I see him on the telly – does anyone know what happened to his neck? It looks all scarred and stuff, like he's been burnt. 😱
