Arsenal First: 12/4

Arsenal 2-1 Fulham

A Samir Nasri brace gave Arsene Wenger's squad the win in a fairly even match, and the frozen pitch in Blackpool prevented Manchester United from playing and equaling their result. Thus, the Gunners are in first, which is certainly a nightmare for the Big Bear. At least Spurs beat them a few weeks back.

Birmingham City 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs led through most of the match at an extremely difficult road environment through Sebastien Bassong, but conceded an 80th minute equalizer to Craig Gardner.

Blackburn 3-0 Wolverhampton

Rovers responded to their embarrasing blowout loss to Manchester United last week with a strong victory over Wolves. David Dunn, Brett Emerton and Ryan Nelsen all tallied for Sam Allardyce's side.
MatchStat) Possession: Blackburn 42%, Wolverhampton 58%

Chelsea 1-1 Everton

The Blues' struggles continued, though they led at halftime through a Didier Drogba penalty, won when Nicolas Anelka collected a poor Phil Neville backpass, touched it around Tim Howard and ran straight into the keeper, rather than avoid him, resulting in a yellow card for the American. Everton were stronger in the second half, and Jermaine Beckford finally converted on one of his many chances, heading past Petr Cech for a point.

Manchester City 1-0 Bolton

City broke the deadlock early through Carlos Tevez, and smothered Bolton's usual attacking abilities the rest of the way, even after Aleksandar Kolarov was sent off for a second yellow card offense. With the win, City held down the final Champions League spot.

Wigan 2-2 Stoke City

Shockingly, the Latics/Potters match was the most entertaining affair of the day. Stoke defender Robert Huth opened the scoring, and his teammate Danny Collins scored an own goal for Wigan at the half hour mark. Within a minute of the own goal, Matt Etherington put Stoke back in front, before Tom Cleverley equalized ten minutes later. With the tie, Stoke passed Sunderland for seventh place

Scottish Soccer Hooligan Weekly:

All the hooligans stayed home, as all this weekend's matches were postponed on Wednesday due to the wintry weather.

Spanish Inquisition:

Relegation threatened Levante beat seventh place Atletico Madrid, 2-0. Barcelona won at Osasuna, 3-0, with a brace from Leo Messi. Real Madrid, stymied for the first 60 minutes against Valencia, got a boost from a red card to David Albelda of Valencia in the 64th minute. They took their advantage well and got two goals* from Cristiano Ronaldo for a 2-0 victory.

*Note: Ronaldo didn't even need to poach a penalty for either of his goals! Shocking! So, for once, well done...jackass.

Insert Cheap Italian Stereotype Here:

Seventh place Roma blew a two goal lead on the road at Chievo Verona, drawing 2-2. Danielle De Rossi was sent off for the visitors after their lead had vanished, and I'm always in favor of red cards for Italian national team players, just because. Leaders AC Milan won 3-0 against relegation threatened Brescia, through goals from Kevin Prince-Boateng, Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Milan leads Serie A by three points with the win.

Das Boot:

Second place Mainz, seven points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund at the start of the day, lost 2-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt. Team USA man Michael Bradley scored for Borussia Monchengladbach, but when the side was reduced to ten men, his squad blew the lead and lost, 2-1 to Hannover. The winning side moved into third place in the league. Bayern Munich lost 2-0 at Schalke. Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen played to a 0-0 draw when Torsten Frings missed a penalty for Bremen, and four minutes later Edin Dzeko missed one for Wolfsburg.
