Whew, that was close.

Denilson fired a wicked shot on goal from thirty yards out. The Tigers keeper Boaz Myhill did his best to keep the shot out of the goal. Shot. Rebound. Score. Bendtner.

Three points for us.

Yes, sir re Bob.

We were not at our best but this just shows how tough the guys are. Arsenal kept at it until we found a way to win.

There were no major shockers on this fine Saturday. Yes, Stoke City and Man City tied one all but that was about it.

Chelsea took care of business. The Blues killed Cardiff 4-1. The Blues scored the opening salvo. Didier Drogba was the recipient of a beautifully placed long ball from mate John Obi Mikel. Drogba took this puppy in stride. He deeked once. Cardiff keeper David Marshall went for the fake. Drogba left him in the dust. Whamo bamo it was 1-0 Chelsea in the 2^nd minute.

Cardiff didn’t give up and melt under Chelsea’s superior forces. Cardiff hung in there. They tied this baby up in the 34^th minute. Michael Chopra faked the Blues defender Alex out of his jock. Chopra ripped the header home to tie this sucker up at one all.

After that, you can kiss this baby bye-bye. Chelsea said enough is enough. The Blues turned on the Afro burners. Chelsea scorched Cardiff for three goals to win going away 4-1.

Ballack, 51^st minute, Daniel Sturridge, 69^th minute, and Salomon Kalou, 86^th minute each scored for the Chelsea juggernaut.

So much for the speculation by the media idiots, that Chelsea was just playing out the string.

Derby gave Birmingham all they could before Blues scored the match winner in injury time to escape with 2-1 win.

Liam Ridgewell nailed home the rebound winner for Birmingham. Mate Kevin Phillips initial shot went clang off the post.

Derby almost found the equalizer when Robbie Savage fired a pile driver at the net. Blues keeper Joe Hart managed to get his paw on the ball and tip it over the crossbar.

Whew, that was close.

Savage missed it by just that much.

On to the next round for Blues instead of the infamous, do over.

Portsmouth blew the doors off of Southampton 4-1. Pompey advanced to the quarterfinals. This may be the only bright spot in an other wise dismal season for Portsmouth.

Pompey is on the verge of bankruptcy and getting the heave-hoe from the EPL.

City was in total control of the match against Stoke City. Shawn Wright Phillips gave City the 1-0 lead in the 11^th minute.

Stoke City used one of the best-known attack weapons to wreak havoc on Man City. City discovered the deadly results of what happens when Rory Delap’s long ball throw in collides with mate’s Ricardo Fuller goal scoring ability.

The result was a death-defying goal in the 57^th minute.

This baby ended in a one all draw.  

Reading and West Brom tied at two all.

Saturdays results saw Chelsea and Birmingham advance while Reading-West Brom, Stoke City-Man City have a do over.
