FA Cup Update

What was almost an all-upset weekend leaves only one Premiership squad in the FA Cup.

I managed to catch the first half of the Barnsley-Chelsea match while in Vegas Saturday (the Luxor had a nice variety of soccer on the big screens though betting was limited to the EPL & Champions League only). I thought Barnsley would wear themselves out, but Odejayi, playing well from the action I saw, managed a 67th minute goal to upset Chelsea.

In other action, Portsmouth dropped Manchester United (1-0), West Brom tromped the Bristol Rovers (5-1) and Cardiff City eliminated M'Boro (2-0).

The semi-finals will be held April 5th & 6th at Wembley Stadium.
