The image is courtesy of our friends over at Football Shirts. As their readers point out in the comments section […]

Amidst all the Champions League hype yesterday, Portsmouth’s 1-0 away victory at West Ham, keeping their hopes of finishing in 5th place alive, more than sailed under the radar and I would be remiss to not talk about it and its ramifications a little bit.

I’ve been harping on the race for the UEFA Cup spots all season, especially lately since it looks like only two (one through league finish, one possibly through the Intertoto Cup) and possibly three (depending on UEFA Fair Play table results) teams will qualify for Europe’s second-tier club competition.

What a day.
For Liverpool, who are now just two points behind Chelsea for third place in the Premiership, although Chelsea have two games in hand, today couldn’t be any better. Led by Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard, who have been carrying the team all year, the Reds strolled to a 3-0 win over Newcastle.

Alright, maybe this wouldn’t be as big of a surprise as some people would think, but I like Aston Villa’s chances to go to the Emirates and beat Arsenal on Saturday.
Martin O’Neill’s young side has only lost twice on the road this season, and they gave Arsenal everything they had and more at Villa Park […]
