Deadspin
• Fulham 1-2 Manchester United. They exchanged first half goals, Ryan Giggs in 29th minute for United, and Brian McBride in the 17th for Fulham (America, fuck yeah), and played the next 58 minutes at a 1-1 tie. But in the 88th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo felt very pretty and scored her 15th goal of the season. The win gives United a 9-point lead over Chelsea in the standings... Chelsea's got a game in hand, though, as they're not playing a Premiership game this weekend.
• Charlton 4-0 West Ham. West Ham fired manager Alan Pardew back in December... Pardew then was quickly hired by Charlton Athletic. Taking the vacated West Ham job was Alan Curbishley, who had spent the last fifteen years managing Charlton. Today, Curbishley took his West Ham club back into Charlton's Valley, and he got his ass handed to him by Alan Pardew. Curbishley's won once in ten Premiership tries, while Pardew was won three times in nine tries. What's it all mean? Not a lot, really... both teams are likely to be relegated.
• Liverpool 4-0 Sheffield United. Liverpool rested seven starters after beating Barcelona in a Champions League game earlier this week ... it's a shame, because at full strength, they might have hit double digits today. A couple of early penalties, both drawn by Steven Gerrard, both finished by Robbie Fowler, put Sheffield United in a bad place early.
• Chelsea vs. Arsenal. It's the Carling Cup final, and I don't know if Arsenal should even bother showing up, since Jose Mourinho is so fucking great. John Terry and Arjen Robben are expected to be healthy for Chelsea.

mcbridegettingsomeaction.jpg - nice.
Scarily enough, Cristiano Ronaldo might be the best player in England right now. I'm a United supporter, but wow, is he a douchebag.
Go Reds! Can't wait for the return leg against Barca.
Anybody see Gerrard, Fowler, Kuyt and Pennant having a chat at midfield before kicking off the 2nd half? It looked like they were having some fun at Crouchie's expense.
A boot to the face... as if he could afford to get more peculiar-looking.
I suppose I've got to "root" for Arsene's young guns. And maybe for another John Terry injury.
Why does it seem like Watford is on my TV every fucking Saturday? Seriously Man U and MLS East are playing... but no. Watford.
@preciousroy:
Different times hombre. The Mancs had the early morning kickoff today (and next-weekend for that matter).
As for Watford, the FA has this weird thing with its scheduling where it attempts to get lower tier teams into the late Saturday tv spots. Ergo, lots of Watford, etc on your tv late on a Saturday.
@preciousroy:
Ever since Setanta took away the games from Sky this year, FSC has gotten the shaft. FSC lost that "afternoon" game on Saturday mornings and have second choice for the late afternoon games. They get first pick on Sundays... big deal. It will be interesting to see how many fo the "big" matchups left will slide to FSC.
The Gunners would have had a tough time of it even before JT and Robben came back. They look tired. That's the price you pay for a logjam of games becuase you can get the job done on these frickin cup ties.
Should read "can't get the job done"...
Did anyone else see the boot to the face Terry took? Sickening.
