Fa Cup 2010 2011 West Ham Burnley

fifth round proper
21st february 2011: 
west ham united v. burnley

Thomas Hitzlsperger is set to finally make his debut for the Hammers after joining on a free transfer from Lazio in June of last year. The midfielder has been out since the summer with a thigh injury he sustained in Germany’s international friendly against Denmark, mere days before the start of the Premier League season.
Burnley are enjoying their football at the moment, having won four out of their last five games, and Howe is confident that his squad will be a match for the Hammers – who are currently helping to prop up the Premier League in 19th place.

week 18 (rescheduled)
20th february 2011: 
west bromwich albion v. wolverhampton wanderers


Roy Hodgson has been dealt a major blow in his first game as Albion boss after defensive midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu ruled himself out of Sunday's game on social network site Twitter in midweek. Defender Ronald Zubar is a fresh injury doubt for Mick McCarthy's men after the right-back picked up a swollen ankle in last weekend's 2-0 loss to Arsenal. If Zubar does not recover in time, then Kevin Foley would be his obvious replacement.

Ipswich Town Play-Off Champions 1999 2000

First Division
play-off 2000

As the 1999/2000 Division One season came to a close, long-suffering Ipswich fans prepared themselves for their team's fourth consecutive appearance in the play-offs. Further heartbreak seemed on the cards as their semi-final opponents Bolton raced into a 2-0 lead in the first leg, but the tie was level by the final whistle. High drama followed in the return match with Ipswich snatching a last-minute equaliser to take the tie into extra-time - which they duly won. The Wembley final saw Ipswich's nerves jangling yet again with Barnsley taking an early lead, but class ultimately told as the Suffolk side ran out 4-2 winners. All the action from the three games is captured here.

Europa League 2010 2011 Glasgow Rangers Sporting Portugal

17th february 2011: rangers v. sporting lisboa


 Back at home, Rangers are well in-touch of Celtic in the race for the Scottish Premier League. The Gers are five points behind their fierce rivals, but have two games in-hand on the Bhoys.
Sporting on the other hand, are having another very poor season with very little left to play for – except holding on to third place which would actually be an improvement on last season’s fourth-placed finish – as they find themselves 23 points behind league leaders FC Porto and 12 points behind second-placed Benfica.
