The FA Cup quarter finals this weekend with the Hammers in with a good shout of the Semi's providing Avram doesn't suddenly decide to rest everyone to concentrate on the league?
A couple of under performing teams play at Old Trafford, Man City could be the last team "giant killed" this season and Bolton and Brum make up the numbers.
Saturday
Birmingham v Bolton 12:45pm
Man Utd v Arsenal 5:15pm
Sunday
Stoke v West Ham 2pm
Man City v Reading 4:45pm
Europe this week saw Arsenal totally played off the park by Barcelona, who ended up having to score an own goal to make a game of it.
Very mild "sympathy" over the silly sending off which ruined what slim hopes Arsenal had, although the lack of Arsenal's 2 best players, Walcott who was injured and Arshavin who was left on the bench for most of the game? meant they were very unlikely to score for themselves.
Tottenham continue to impress in this competition although outplayed by Milan in the second leg they should have had 2 penalties, I'm not sure what the point of the extra officials are when the guy standing ten feet from Crouch failed to see the Milan defender trying to swap shirts in the first half and Seedorf's blatant handball was totally missed?
I'd like to see Tottenham v Barcelona in the next round, can't help thinking that Lennon and Bale running with the ball would cause Barcelona a lot more problems than Arsenal managed in 2 games, although Messi would turn Dawson inside out at will.
Local stuff - "jailbird" Ryan Hall scored twice for Southend on Tuesday as a parting gift? before this weeks appeal against his 20 week sentence.
