Best saves
If Birmingham City avoid relegation this season, they will be able to give a huge pat on the back to their goalkeeper Ben Foster.
The England stopper has kept eight clean sheets in the league, more than all but seven teams in the division and a vital statistic for a struggling side who had scored just 29 goals, the fewest in the league, before the weekend's action.
Against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday, Foster prevented his side from dropping two points and maybe even three. The former Manchester United man made a string of quality stops throughout the match - Bolton had 12 shots on target - but he saved his best until last.
With Birmingham leading 2-1 and the game going into injury time, Foster first kept out a Kevin Davies volley with a full-length dive.
Then, from the resulting corner, he turned a Gretar Steinsson bullet header over the bar from point-blank range.
The win saw Birmingham jump up the table to 15th. They are now two points clear of the drop zone with a game in hand on all their rivals. Suddenly thing are looking a little rosier thanks to Foster's safe hands.
Worst public relations
Between the pie stalls and shirt sellers outside most English football grounds, you will often find a statue or too commemorating a great player or manager.
Tom Finney is immortalised outside Preston North End's ground. Billy Bremner is cast in iron at Leeds United's Elland Road. The late Sir Bobby Robson has his place outside Portman Road, Ipswich Town's stadium. The list is long.
Sir Elton John is Watford's life president, Robbie Williams has invested in Port Vale, but the worlds of music and sport are not natural companions.
Imagine the surprise then when Mohamed Al Fayed, Fulham's Egyptian owner, announced that he was going to erect a statue of Michael Jackson outside Craven Cottage.
Surprising, given the music legend has tenuous links with the club (he attended a game once 12 years ago as a guest of Al Fayed).
Even more surprising was Al Fayed's reaction to the understandable criticism to the move.
The colourful owner told Fulham fans they can "go to hell" if they do not appreciate the statue.
Al Fayed was a close friend of the late "King of Pop". Apparently the statue was due to be placed outside Harrods, but Al Fayed sold the famous London department store to Qatari investors.
"If some stupid fans don't understand and appreciate such a gift they can go to hell. I don't want them to be fans," Al Fayed said yesterday. "If they don't understand and don't believe in things I believe in they can go to Chelsea, they can go to anywhere else. People will queue to come and visit it from all over the UK."
The worst thing is, the statue is awful. It makes Jackson look like some kind of half ape, half stuffed doll. What's next, a Justin Bieber statue outside Liverpool's ground? Or how about Hannah Montana strutting her stuff at Villa Park?
Best momentum swing
When the season is over, supporters from every team will be able to look back and point to last-minute winners, red cards, injuries and think "what if?"
What if we hadn't missed that last-minute penalty? What if we'd had our star striker fit for the whole campaign?
Saturday was a day full of "what ifs".
What if Lee Mason, the referee, had sent of Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic for a last-man foul with his team 2-0 down at West Ham United - would the men from Manchester have been able to turn it round to a 4-2 win in the second half?
What if Arsenal had played up to their ability and rolled over Blackburn Rovers as everyone expected?
But "ifs" and "buts" don't count for much come the end of the season.
At half time in the West Ham game, United were looking at their lead in the title race slipping to just two points having played a game more than Arsenal.
Less than four hours later and their comeback, combined with Arsenal's slip up, had seen United's lead improbably extended to seven points, leaving Gunners fans thinking "if only".
Worst dive
English football fans like to think that their game is somehow more moral and honest than the rest of Europe.
"Look at those fancy Dans on the continent diving everywhere, rolling around and feigning injury," they say. "You won't get that in England, we invented the game."
Well, unfortunately, diving has become common place in England, too, and some of the best players have been guilty of it, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney to name a couple.
The latest to show his adeptness was Phil Jagielka, Everton's England international defender. It is not that Jagielka is a serial diver, it is just that his tumble was so convincing, one can only assume it is something he has been rehearsing.
As he charged into the Aston Villa box, with his team trailing 2-1, Jean Makoum, the Cameroon midfielder, moved towards him before stopping himself to avoid contact.
Too late, Jagielka was already going to ground, with such pace and timing that it appeared to all the world as if he had been fouled. The referee awarded a penalty and only an ultra slow-motion replay showed otherwise.
Jagielka is born in Sale, a rugby town. Maybe he should look to rugby for an example of how real men play sport.
Best assist
When Blackpool signed James Beattie in the January transfer window - on loan from Scottish side Glasgow Rangers - they were probably expecting a few goals from a man who has scored more than 100 times in his career, and possibly the odd assist, too.
Beattie set up a goal yesterday, it just happened to be at the wrong end.
Somehow the former Everton, Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers forward managed to miscontrol a lay-off so badly that it turned into a perfectly-weighted, defence-splitting through ball to Bobby Zamora, the Fulham striker.
The fit-again Zamora has too much quality not to punish such a mistake and he slammed the ball emphatically into the roof of the net to open the scoring at Craven Cottage yesterday.
It set the tone for the match, which Blackpool lost 3-0. Suddenly Ian Holloway's men, who started the season so well, earning plaudits all round for their attacking style, look very vulnerable.
Blackpool sit just a point and a place above the relegation zone and they still have to play Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United in their last seven matches.
