Wow! Wot a final Premiership day...!
What a day yesterday - the final day of the English Premiership season.
Arsenal sign off at Highbury in the best possible way - they win the game, the "God" Henry scores a hat-trick and the win sees them jump above their neighbours and biggest rivals in the league to claim the last Champions League spot.
At the same time, Tottenham - who needed to achieve the same result (or better) as Arsenal, suffer an epidemic of food poisoning at the hotel the night before the game and end up losingt their match and dropping below Arsenal. If someone had written this script, no-one would have believed them. No wonder this game is so fantastic.
And now onto the cup finals - Middlesborough v Sevilla in the UEFA cup final on 10 May, Liverpool v West HAm in the FA cup final on 13 May, then Arsenal v the mighty Barca on 17 May.
I would love Middlesborough and Arsenal to do it - but I fear it may be 2-0 to the Spanish teams in their match up with the English. Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that Arsenal will do it though...? In the FA Cup, its Liverpool all the way, but West Ham are no pushovers, so it should be a great game. Would be tragic for Liverpool, having knocked out their 2 biggest rivals, Man U and Chelski, to fall at the final hurdle though..
Loads more drama to come - and that's before the World Cup has even started!
