S4M33 & FA Cup 3 SF: All the results!

So how's everyone doing? Nice little bank holiday weekend? Bit of sunshine starting to break through. Good good.

Let's get down to business. Well...aren't Man Utd on a charge? Fair play to them...this run of games was going to make or break LvG and, credit to the big red-faced lump of Gouda....he's nailed it. Apropos to that, why do Man Utd only hire red-faced managers? Maybe the real reason why Mourinho was passed over for Moyes...

They're doing well..unlike City and Liverpool who have stumbled. Arsenal of course are doing their usual surge for 4th place, this season looking to nail it on the last day via a freefall from 2nd. Chelsea also seem to not really be that fussed about the whole winning in style thing - pets and their owners etc. Well...managers

Other teams that are currently rubbish include Spurs, Newcastle, WBA. In fact, I'd argue that Palace, Southampton and Swansea would still be quite happy with their performances, and probably Villa and QPR are happy to be showing some backbone. The rest? dunno.

What's going to be interesting is who will go down with Leicester. I still think QPR, and am edging towards Sunderland as the final side to go down....a poor side without the new manager bounce...

Anyway, that'll do for the discussions of 2 week old Premier League football.

Let's get statty:

Goal-swing: er, not sure....I think Ozil's free kick meant 10 people couldn't be right, and that's a bit more than Austin or Puncheon, as their result was 1 more step removed...ie more people wrong, but a draw in the middle, you dig?
