Matches of note over the past 3 days:
Carling Cup semi-final second leg:
Man-U 3-1 Man-City (4-3 on aggregate)
Woo hoo!
The money spenders have finally been put in their place after months of boasting about the financial situation at Old Trafford we have stll got the better team! Wayne Rooney scored in injury time to send Man-U through to the final against Aston Villa.
African Cup of nations semi-finals:
Egypt 4-0 Algeria
Ghana 1-0 Nigeria
3rd place play-off:
Nigeria 1-0 Algeria
Egypt thrashed Algeria in a grudge match and will be looking to win the African Cup of Nations for the seventh time in the final against Ghana which will take place today My prediction is 2-1 to Egypt as the team spirit will be very high after the win against Algeria. Togo have also been banned for the next two Cup's because they withdrew from the compititon. This is incredibly in-human of CAF. Most people would have thought that they would say sorry for the Togo squad being machine-gunned but no. All we get is 'they are banned from the next 2 competitions'. Hopefully, the African teams will boycott the next tournament to show support.
Premier League:
Everton 1-0 Wigan
West Ham 0-0 Blackburn
Liverpool 2-0 Bolton
Hull 2-2 Wolves
Aston Villa 2-0 Fulham
Chelsea 2-1 Burnley
Birmingham 1-1 Tottenham
After the details of John Terry's affair with Wayne Bridge's girlfriend came out, it looks like he will be stripped of the England captaincy. This didn't stop him scoring the winner for Chelsea. You have to feel sorry for Burnley's new manager Brian Laws. Fulham's early form is falling apart after 5 losses in a row while the new owners of West Ham watched a boring draw.
