Match Preview The Fa cup final Liverpool v Chelsea

The Fa cup final at wembely is always a big day for teams. But especially for these two whose league form hasnt put them in a position for Champions league football So trophies are what they need Liverpool sit seventh in the Premier League while chelsea sit fith but chould still qualify for the champions league for next season idf they beat Bayen Munich in the Champions league final but an Fa cup will be a good reason for Roman Abramovic to give Roberto Di Matteo the job even with only Europa League football, he has turned Chelsea around. For Liverpool and Kenny Dalglish its different their league form is awful for their standerds and the home defeat to Fulham just about summed it up. But on the bright side they have already won the Carling Cup and another trophy in the Fa Cup is just what they need to make their season more respectable.

Key men
Liverpool
Steven Gerrard must pull the strings in the midfield if Liverpool are to win thr game his passing is unbeatable he will have to be at his best to be involved against a powerfull Chelsea midfield.

Chelsea
Juan Mata
Must pull of and get crosses into the box he is chelsea's main creative threat

Match report Wigan 4-0 Newcastle

Wigan took a huge step towards premier League survival and put a dent in Newcastles Champions league hopes with a 4-0 thrashing at a rocking DW stadium.

The game started in a open fashion with both teams looking dangerous going forward especially wigan who where creating chances at will.

In the thirteenth minuite wigan's pressure payed when a Emmerson Boyce cross found Victor Moses in the box and he hedded in to give the latics a well deserved lead.

It didnt stop there. Just two minuites later Wigan where at it again Moses again the scorer, stabbing in after a Jean Beausejour cross caused havoc in the box.

Shaun Maloney was at the centre of everything Wigan where doing and he got his reward after a lovely passing move came to Maloney who finished cooly. Newcastle's confiedence was draining by the second.

Franco di santo was running the show up front and he was working as hard as ever up front. And he got his goal after lobbing Tim Krul from the edge of the box. Just before the half time whistle whitch everyone connected to Newcastle United was glad to here. Especially Alan Pardew!

The second half started in a similar way and wigan shouldve added to their lead when Jean Beausejour crossed it to make a huge scramble in the box whitch nor Moses or Mccarthy chould finish off.

Papiss Cisse should of pulled one back for Newcastle but his header bounded against Ali al Habsi's bar before Hatem Ben Arfa shot just wide and Demba Ba forced a great safe of Al Habsi.

But it was wigan who should of added a fith goal Conor Sammon managed to get behind the Newcastle defence after playing a swift one two with Shaun Maloney but his shot was cleared of the line by Farbincio Collichini but 4-0 it stayed!

Man of the match
Shaun Maloney

Do England have a chance at the Euro's?

Well at the moment no! We havent even got a Manager or even a Captain. Not great with a huge Tourdement just round the corner!

Who should be the next boss?
Fora me their is three contenders Harry Redknapp (Spurs) Guss Hidink (Unemployed) and Roy Hogson. But the way te Fa are at the minuite i woudnt be suprised to see Stuart Pearce's name on the job, for at least Euro 2012, but the vast majority of fans want Harry Redknapp, and understandably.

Who should be the next Captain?
Most people will probably say Steven Gerrard but i think Scott Parker deserves to be captain his work effort is superb aswell as his attitude. He is a great roll modell and is never in the news for the wrong reason. Surely a valiad contender at least?

The Squad for the euro's (what i'd pick and key members who must be fit/play well)
If Jack Whilshere can find fitness on time he should be on the plane along with Gunners teammates Alex Oxlade Chamberlin and Theo Walcott

Predictions Week 7!

Last Week: I think I went a bit over the top last week with some of my predictions and only got 25. Tom got 33 and won with a clear 8 point margin.

Special Guest: We've not had one for a while. But this week is different! We aim to have one right until the end of the season to predict the last hurdle. And this week it's Tom Farrell! He's one of the admins on the facebook page and one of our jolly friends.

This week: All the prem games, 3 Championship, the El Classico and the 2nd leg of the Champions League. Can Vishal make it a hattrick of Wigan games predicted correctly? He's got the last 2 perfect!
