big weekend of football forthcoming.

two fa cup semi-finals: wigan take on championship millwall and man city face chelsea in battle of the oilball giants.

newcastle face sunderland in the pick of the premier league games; champions-elect manchester united are away at (please be relegated) stoke.

the game of the weekend sees newly-managered leeds united take on THE championship form team sheffield wednesday. with dave jones on a touchline ban, stuart 'fifty shades of' gray will be tasked with leading wednesday to victory. let's hope we are talking about the wonderful football match we have witnessed post-match as opposed to the stupidity that marred the last match.

cardiff vs nottingham forest should also be good entertainment in the championship.

in league one swindon town travel to captain morgan's promotion chokers, and in league two rotherham and fleetwood meet in what could be an exciting tie.

in europe, real madrid travel to former hipster favourites athletic bilbao, ac milan host napoli, and psv face ajax in holland's match of the season.
