Easter Eden

Very quickly through the upsets:

40 Murcia - Espanyol 4:0
39 Aston Villa - Sunderland 0:1
38 Valenciennes - Bordeaux 3:1
37 Inter - Juventus 1:2
36 Auxerre - St.Etienne 1:3
33 Sevilla - Atl.Madrid 1:2
33 Athl.Bilbao - Getafe 1:0
32 Rennes - Lens 3:1
32 Marseille - Sochaux 0:1
31 Real Madrid - Valencia 2:3
31 Osasuna - Betis 0:1
31 Nice - Lorient 1:2
30 Tottenham Hotspur - Portsmouth 2:0
15 Bielefeld - Werder Bremen 1:1

Big noises as relegation candidates in Spain and England win; high-flyers in France and Italy are knocked off. It's an unusual week: no upsets at all in England II, just one in Germany and Italy, but half the programmes in France and Spain ended in surprises.

Changes are against 12 February. A very good month for Sheffield Utd, though their early-season form means they're probably going to have to be content with a play-off place. Preston were relegation candidates at the turn of the year, now looking more likely to go out of the division at the top end. On the other hand, Charlton have fallen away, and Colchester look set to be falling down.
