Did your team live up to expectations with their FA Cup performance at the weekend?We asked former England midfielder and Sky Sports Now guest Ray Wilkins to grade each side based on their 90-minute FA Cup performances.So how did your team fare? Did they get an A or an F, or somewhere in between? Read on to see how each side has been ranked... FA Cup results Arsenal 0-0 Hull Reading 3-1 West Brom Watford 1-0 Leeds Bournemouth 0-2 Everton Blackburn 1-5 West Ham Tottenham 0-1 Crystal Palace Chelsea 5-1 Man City Reading - A+Results like this are what the romance of the FA Cup are all about, its incredible. Weve still got two teams left in the competition from outside the Premier League in Shrewsbury, who host Manchester United on Monday, and Reading. Brian McDermotts side put in a brilliant performance and deserve their A+.West Ham - A+People would have said Sundays game may have been a really difficult test for West Ham. I was one of them because the pitch is not the greatest at Ewood Park and I worried whether West ham would fancy the challenge. They certainly did and for that they deserve an A+.Im really enjoying what Slaven Bilic is doing at West Ham. In Dimitri Payet they have a world class footballer, Mark Noble is performing consistently in the middle of the pitch and they look a very good side. Dimitri Payetof West Ham United celebrates with manager Slaven Bilic at Blackburn Chelsea - AYoull find Guus Hiddink will not be tinkering with his side too much in the coming weeks. Hell be consistent with his selections and stick with the side thats playing well. The same team played in Paris in midweek and many people thought there would be changes, but knowing Guus there was no way he was going to make changes. He wants to win this competition big time. Chelsea put in a superb performance which deserves an A. Eden Hazard is congratulated after scoring in the FA Cup against Manchester City Crystal Palace - AAlan Pardews side have been under par in the last couple months and considering that form its a brilliant result for Palace at White Hart Lane. Yannick Bolasies stock has certainly gone up since hes been out of the side and all of a sudden hes back, and they win. He must be their lucky omen. I didnt expect them to win because of their league form, but they proved me wrong to get an A. Crystal Palace booked their place in the quarter-finals with a 1-0 win at Tottenham Everton - AI have to give Everton a good A for their performance on Saturday. Bournemouth is not an easy place to go. Everton were under a bit of pressure early on but stuck at it and scored a couple of good goals.It doesnt matter that theyve got a tough quarter-final tie against Chelsea. In the league meeting earlier this season they hammered Chelsea at Goodison Park. There is no reason they cant do it again. Wilkins handed Everton an A for their performance at Bournemouth Manchester City - BAs much as people will say Chelsea were only playing Manchester Citys second team, the group of men Manuel Pellegrini put out did very well for 45 minutes. The killer goal was the second goal. You could see them slump and go a little bit out of shape. However, up until then they put in a good performance and get a B, but its only because of the showing of their young guys. Manuel Pellegrini made a number of changes as Manchester City were thumped 5-1 at Chelsea In terms of team selection, Im not a great fan of resting players. As a player myself I would want to play in every game so I do not get this need to rest players. These fixtures are the games you want to be involved in. Its the FA Cup, its fantastic. Get out there and put in a performance. Players are quite happy to be rotated but I just cannot get to grips with it. Its not for me.Watford - BWatford got the job done and thats the most important thing in the cup. Quique Sanchez Flores managed to rest Odion Ighalo but stuck with Troy Deeney, who I really like as a player. I saw Watford at Chelsea and I was very impressed. They are well organised and have a great work ethic in the squad. For getting through against Leeds they get a solid B. Ben Watson, Mario Suarez and manager Quique Sanchez Flores celebrate their teams 1-0 win against Leeds Hull - BThe extra game is not a positive for Hull as they have an extremely busy Championship schedule ahead of them and some massive games as they look for automatic promotion. However, the draw at Arsenal just goes to show the strength of Steve Bruces squad after he made a host of changes. Hell be hoping his side can push on now and secure automatic promotion. As far as Saturdays concerned, its no mean feat to get a draw at the Emirates so Im giving them a B. Eldin Jakupovic was in excellent form for Hull to keep out Arsenal Leeds - BThey may have been knocked out but for me, Leeds get the same grade as Watford. Its never easy to go to a Premier League side in the FA Cup. You are always up against it. It was a really tough ask for Steve Evans side but once again they had great support at Vicarage Road. It was marvellous travelling support from a great club. In the coming years lets hope they can get back to where wed like to see them.Tottenham - CTo be totally honest I thought this was the nap of the day. I thought Tottenham would win and win comfortably. That did not have what was required on the day so they get a C. Wilkins was surprised to see Spurs lose at home to Crystal Palace Bournemouth - CIts a C for Bournemouth. Eddie Howe would have wanted a bit more from his side in front of their own fans. Bournemouth play some excellent stuff and they missed a penalty early in the game on Saturday. Who knows what might have been? But they would have expected a bit better from the game. The further you can go in the cup it gives you momentum and that would have helped as they look to stay in the Premier League.Arsenal - DThe extra game is certainly something Arsenal could do without. For me, I would always prefer to go for the strongest available team first, get the job done if you possibly can and then bring the players you want to off midway through the second-half or even at half-time if things are going really well. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger saw his side miss a host of chances in the draw with Hull Arsene Wenger knows more about his squad than I do but Ive been saying it for a long time, had they bought an out-an-out finisher in the window, Im sure Arsenal would have won Saturdays game. Its all ifs and buts but I just felt they needed a top quality finisher. In terms of their performance on Saturday, Im giving the Gunners a D.Blackburn - EIt was always going to be a big ask for Blackburn against a good West Ham side. However, playing at home and going a goal up you would have expected Paul Lamberts side to put up a bit more of a fight. Its an E for Blackburn. Ray Wilkins handed Tony Pulis West Brom an F after defeat at Reading West Brom - FIts a disappointing result for West Brom. It was a good opportunity for Tony Pulis to lead his side into the last eight against Championship opposition, but they came up short. Whats the lowest we can go? F? F it is!Watch Sky Sports Now weekdays from 10am to 12pm, Sky Sports News HQ.Also See:Rating Citys debutantsFA Cup talking pointsHiddink: Dont devalue FA CupFA Cup QF drawYeezy Sko Fake .

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- A lease agreement between a prospective owner of the Phoenix Coyotes and the City of Glendale is still in doubt with a vote less than a week away. The NHL, which has operated the Coyotes the past four seasons, has agreed to sell the franchise to Renaissance Sports & Entertainment, but the deal is contingent upon completing a lease agreement with the city for Jobing.com Arena. The league has pushed Glendale to make a decision by next week and three councilmembers stepped forward to force a vote Tuesday despite concerns that the city did not have enough time to do due diligence on the deal. "Now is the time for the City of Glendale to decide what theyre going to do," said former Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods, whos representing RSE. "Theyve driven a hard bargain and I give them credit for that, but they cant screw around anymore. The NHL has given them a hard deadline and if they want to keep the Coyotes here and have the arena managed in a professional and successful way, they need to get on with it. If not, then the decision will be made for them." RSE, a group headed by George Gosbee, Anthony LeBlanc and Daryl Jones, reached an agreement to buy the team from the NHL last month. After weeks of negotiating, RSE and Glendale agreed on enough points to create a draft of the deal, which was posted on the citys website on Thursday. Along with the draft, Glendale also posted a release outlining some of its concerns about the deal, including a $15 million management fee to run the arena, a five-year out clause that could allow RSE to move the team without penalty and concerns that the city would bear all the risk if revenue projected by RSE falls short. "Contrary to what might appear in the papers, I dont see this as a done deal. Far from it," acting city manager Dick Bowers said in a letter sent to the city council on Tuesday. "Discussions continued over the week and we have come only slightly closer to comfortable than before." The city says it has budgeted $6 million to pay for part of the $15 million management fee to be paid to RSE, with the difference made up in shared revenue streams that include arena naming rights, rent, parking, ticket surcharges and other sources. RSE has projected those revenues at $6.7 million, a figure based on the worst year the Coyotes have had in attendance. Glendale officials have raised concerns that the city bears all the risk if the projected revenue falls short, though RSE would guarantee $1.2 million if the projections fall short, based on a $1.50 surcharge on each ticket. The city also is concerned about aa clause in the deal that would allow RSE terminate the contract if its cumulative losses reach $50 million or after five years, while Glendale cannot opt out if revenue projections fall short.dddddddddddd "I think youve got people who are really dedicated to hockey in general and the Phoenix Coyotes in particular," Woods said. "Their entire game plan here is to make this work here in Arizona. Theres no discussion, no contingency plan, nothing in their plans other than making this a success in Arizona." The drawn-out saga to find an owner for the Coyotes will likely come to a head next week, one way or another. If the city council approves the lease agreement, RSE will have a clear path to complete its purchase of the team and keep it in Arizona. Should the council vote against the lease deal, the NHL has indicated it pursue other options, including a possible move of the franchise to Seattle. "Were anticipating, or hoping, the Glendale City Council passes the deal with the Renaissance Group," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said after the leagues Board of Governors meeting on Thursday. "If the council doesnt approve it ... I dont think the Coyotes will be playing there anymore." This ownership tilt-a-whirl started in 2009, when former owner Jerry Moyes took the team into bankruptcy in a failed attempt to sell it to Blackberry founder Jim Balsille, who would move the franchise to Hamilton, Ontario. The NHL bought the team later that year and has operated it ever since. Numerous potential owners have come to the forefront, only to fall away. Chicago businessman Matthew Hulsizer appeared to be in line to buy the team, only to be thwarted by conservative watchdog group Goldwater Institute, which warned potential bond buyers to stay away from the Glendale offering because of a looming lawsuit. Former San Jose Sharks CEO Greg Jamison had a preliminary agreement with the NHL to buy the team last year, but his bid fell through when he was unable to secure the finances and investors he needed in time to meet a deadline with Glendale on a lease-agreement deal. Now its RSEs turn to see if it can complete the deal. "I think it would be a huge mistake for Glendale to think that we would have anything but an enormous financial disaster on our hands trying to keep that arena open after losing an anchor tenant and 41 nights," Woods said. "The reality is, in my opinion, the arena would end up being shut down. I hope that doesnt happen, but they have to look at the hard realities in the way the real world works, and I think thats the reality is here." ' ' '
