FA Cup robs us of title tussle

  

So with the title chasers on FA Cup duty this weekend, the focus of the premiership switched to the wrong end of the premiership table and the teams striving for premiership safety certainly disapointed. Sheffield Utd  were the only relegation wary teams who impressed at the weekend with their 3-0 victory over fellow strugglers , West Ham Utd.

Wigan squandered a crcuial lead three times against a jaded Tottenham side, Charlton lost at home to Everton 2-1 to a late James McFadden strike while Fulham failed to inspire any faith in their ability to scrap for points. 

Looking at future fixtures and current form, it looks like the current bottom three of Watford and West Ham and Charlton Athletic are all set to revisit the championship. However Fulham and Wigan also need to start getting points quickly or they could be sucked down again with Charlton, the current favourites to get out of the current bottom three.
