Rich, boring enemies of football Chelsea overcome the pure-hearted artists of Arsenal 2-0 in some cup which doesn't even matter and nobody wants to win anyway.

The result seemed fair enough, Chelsea were comfortable without ever really looking dominant and Mata's goal came at the perfect time for them with Ozil having just come on and Giroud warming up. Thought the sides were pretty well matched in defence and midfield, but the difference in the front 3s was decisive. The novelty factor with Bendtner has well and truly worn off.

2 goals for Hernandez as United batter Norwich 4-0 with Robert Snodgrass stretchered off and taken to hospital suffering from, in Chris Hughton's words; "Very much concussion".

Plenty of goals elsewhere as Stoke go through on pens following a draw 4-4 with Brum and Fulham lose 4-3 to a late goal at the Lineker Memorial Arena.

Tonight's games see Newcastle play a Man City team temporarily freed from Joe Hart's reign of terror and Hull take on penalty specialists Tottenham.

Ronaldo has an uncharacteristically massive strop over Sepp Blatter being a bit of a dick.

D-Beck's going to start a MLS team in Miami. Sounds handsome.
