Now a 2 horse race...surely?

Well a weekend that saw some of the big guns falter - the Premiership is surely now a two horse race. Man Utd on course for a 4th crown in as many years vs a very efficient and well drilled Chelsea.

Manchester United showed their ability to destroy their rivals last weekend where they tore Arsenal apart at the Emirates Stadium and showed their ruthlessness this weekend by tormenting a wounded Portsmouth.

Chelsea have shown their grit and determination as they have been rocked by the media hype surrounding their club captain John Terry. They suffered at the hand of Hull City in the week where they were held to a 1-1 draw, priceless for the Tigers who backed that up with the defeat of Man City this weekend. Chelsea however inflicted a backlash of everything that's gone on, on Arsenal - 2-0 was the scoreline at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon piling further misery and pressure on the Gunners. True to tradition, Didier Drogba inflicted the most pain on Arsenal with two first half goals gifted to him thanks to defensive errors.. the pain continues for us Arsenal fans, surely its all over for the reds until next season. Only the Champions League left now, I bet Wenger wishes he'd taken the away day at Stoke more seriously now...

Elsewhere a very heated Merseyside derby ended in victory for the ever improving Liverpool. Dirk Kuyt once again on the scoresheet. 2 red cards and endless yellows ensured that the DA will surely be handing out a few fines to each side!

As mentioned above, Hull beat City 2-1 to drag themselves out of the relegation zone. Can Hull stay in the Premier League again this season? Phil Brown seems to have put something in his players Weetabix of late and it seems to be doing the trick! 4 points from what looked like a certain 0 vs Chelsea and City, just shows what a home crowd can do for you.

As for relegation - who is set for the drop this time? Now we enter the business end of the season its becoming increasingly more apparent that Portsmouth look destined for the PL chop. That is if they survive the financil guillotine... I was at Craven Cottage on Wednesday to see a determined display from both sides with Fulham edging the well fought game 1-0 through a Jon Greening goal. New signing Okaka made his debut and nearly got a goal but squandered from 2 yards out. Fulham failed to get on the score sheet this weekend with a goalless draw at Bolton.

All attentions are currently beyond match of the day now and on Miami, Florida where the Indianapolis Colts are taking on Super Bowl debutantes the New Orleans Saints. At time of writing the Colts are 3-0 up after a field goal from the oldest player to play in a Super Bowl. Its been a fairly even game thus far but you'd expect Peyton Manning to start showing all his experience and consistent form to steer the Colts to a win. However the Saints have played some of the best ball this season and are tipped to cause an upset tonight. Of course they have their motivation in that their stadium was used as a shelter for those left homeless during hurricane Katrina a few years back. It would be poetic if they were to win tonight.

Update!! The Colts just scored a Touchdown thanks to a pinpoint pass from Peyton Manning. He's already starting to turn the screw.. Colts lead 10-0 at the end of the first quarter.
