The Relegation Battle looks even more interesting and Fulham look doomed for the drop.
There were some big results and poor results for teams at the wrong end of the table on Saturday here's a glimpse of them:
Norwich 1-1 Stoke
Cardiff 3-1 Fulham
Crystal Palace 0-1 Southampton
West Brom 0-3 Manchester United
Good results for Stoke and Cardiff. Stoke gained a vital away point to relegation rivals Norwich despite having a Jonathon Walters sent off late on. This puts them on 31 points in 12th postion. A vital win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men that puts them on 25 points in 18th place.
Poor results for West Brom, Crystal Palace, Fulham and Norwich. Pepe Mel is still without a win since taking over at West Brom which is after 7 games in charge. They are sitting in 17th on 25 points. Crystal Palace should be getting something out of their home games especially at this stage in the season the sit in 16th on 27 points. Fulham looked doomed for the drop after Magath has managed them for 3 games and he has drawn 1 and lost 2 they are bottom of the league with 21 points and have the worst goal difference in the league with it at -36 which is 8 worse than Cardiff who have the second worst goal difference. They need to win atleast 6 of their remaining 10 games to stay up which is highly unlikley. Norwich drew their home game against relegation rivals which is very bad they should be winning home games with teams in ther position but atleast its a point gained they are currently on 29 points.
Arsenal's perfect oppurtinty
With Manchester City crashing out of the FA Cup with a shock 2-1 home defeat to Wigan. That puts Arsenal more or less in pole position to win the FA Cup. Arsenal, Wigan, Hull and Sheffield United remain the 4 teams and you would think that Arsenal should come out on top in both matches. Obviously Wigan can put in great performances as this is the second time they have knocked Manchester City out of the competition in 2 seasons. Most Arsenal fans will remember what happened in the league cup in 2011 when they lost to Birmigham but now I think they have a better squad and they have top of the league for the majority of the season so far. I think Arsenal will win the FA Cup and hopefully it will give them more confidence for next season.
Eto's and Meyler's Comical Celebrations
Chelsea's Samuel Eto and Hull's David Meyler celebrated their goals comically at weekend. Eto scored the opener against Tottenham in a 4-0 win and since he was turning 33 a couple days later he thought it would be funny to limb over to corner flag as if he had an imaginary zimmer frame. It did prove to be quite hilarious though. David Meyler's celebration was the funniest out of the two in my opinion he celebrated after scoring the second in Hull's 3-0 win over Sunderland to progress into the semi-finals of the FA Cup. After getting headbutted by Alan Pardew the previous week he ran over to the corner flag and headbutted it. Which is great to see he took it in good humour.
