Week 27 review

Another busy calendar of weekly games. Firstly in the Premiership:

Wednesday 10th February
Arsenal bounce back with Diaby's goal at home to Liverpool in a big midweek programme. At Villa Park United's title challenge has the breaks pressed down by Villa as they hold the Champions 1-1. Balckburn beat Hull 1-0 thanks to an own goal by in form keeper Myhill.

Chelsea come unglued by the Toffeemen at Goodison 2-1, thanks to two from Saha and the Hammers have a much needed win over Birmingham 2-0 and suprisingly Wolves beat Spurs 1-0.

Tuesday 16th Feburary
Stoke and Man City share the spoils 1-1.

FA Cup 5th Round
Games involving Premier League teams saw Tottenham get a replay at Bolton. Davies and Defoe the scorers. Petrov and Collins were Villa's scorers at Selhurst in a 2-2 draw. Davies, Zamora, Duff and the wonderfully named Okaka Chuka helped Fulham overcome League Two and basket case Notts County.

Drogba, Ballack, Sturridge and Kalou were Chelski's scorers in their comfortable win over Cardiff. Ridgewell got a another late winner for Birmingham at Derby to see the Blues through.

Man City and Stoke drew whilst Pompey overcame all of their problems to stuff rivals Southampton at St Marys. Owusu-Abeyie, Dindane, Belhadj and O'Hara all became heroes in Portsmouth households, at least for a weekend!
