OK so it's FA cup semi weekend as well as a massive week in the relegation battle. I can see Millwall tuning Wigan over tomorrow but the second semi should be a cracker with both Chelsea and Man City desperate to have a chance of a major trophy this season. I'm going for a 3-3 thriller! Turning to the PL Reading and QPR's fates could be sealed if they fail to beat Liverpool and Everton respectively. I can't see Arry getting anything from Goodison but hope for Nigel's sake Reading can give the scousers a scare. Norwich have a massive task away at Arsenal whilst Villa have a very winnable game at home to Fulham. A Villa win takes them out of trouble. Moving on to Sunday and we have the biggest NE derby for years followed by Stoke playing Man U. I see wins for the Geordies and Man U leaving Stoke and Sunderland in major trouble trying to avoid the dreaded drop! Thoughts?
Be hard for relegation candidates to get much out of this weekend, though we have proved it can be done. It's lovely having a nice cushion and looking down from a lofty height.
The big game is the Northampton District Youth league Under 12 Quarter Final. My team is mid table in the B league and we play the team top of the A league who have lost one game in two years. Come on the under dogs!
So Wigan have a cup game this weekend. These games in hand won't do them any favours...better to have points on the board. Have a feeling this cup run could finish them...they may need help from the poor form of Sunderland and Stoke.

Bolton, who were two points above 21st in mid-February, would move into a playoff spot if results hold. The Championship is silly.
So having called for a minute's silence for Margaret Thatcher, what Sir John Madejski actually got was.... ...Liverpool fans doing a conga, singing "We're all doing a conga, cos Maggie is no longer! La la la la, la la la la!"
Millwall fans have been fighting eachother behind the goal throughout the game. One bloke has just been carried out. Now fans piling in on someone behind the goal.
