Last week the big four could do no wrong as they cut a swath through the giants of Europe, just a few days later and we're all reminded that reputation really does count for nothing as Manchester United and Chelsea tumble out of the cup to Portsmouth and Barnsley respectively, and Arsenal are out-witted by Wigan.
