Today in the Premiership...

Blackburn 1-0 Arsenal. It was letdown time for the Gunners today, after beating Real Madrid on Tuesday. The Rovers gave them a bone today, and look at that... with their win today, Blackburn has crept ahead of Arsenal in the league table.

Chelsea 2-0 Portsmouth. Chelsea pushes their league lead to 15 points better than their closest competitor by whomping lowly Portsmouth. The race for the league title here is about as suspenseful as the race in the ACC.

Newcastle 2-0 Everton. Everton hadn't lost since December 28th, but Newcastle took it to them today without two of their studs, Alan Shearer and Michael Owen. Also, I'm told that Solano's 2nd goal for Newcastle was spectacular. I'm guessing you won't see it on SportsCenter.

Also, because there was a light Premiership schedule today... bonus Rugby coverage!

Scotland 18-12 England. Scotland hadn't beaten England since 2000, and as a tipster tells us, there may be a little bit of drinking in Scotland this evening.

France 37-12 Italy. Is anyone else shocked that the French can win at a sport as violent and physical as Rugby?
