Chelsea/Arsenal @3PM on FSW
Even though the league is over, it should be a great game. I'll take Arsenal only because Chelsea has beaten them once in the past 25+ games or some crazy streak like that.

Manchester/Everton
Tough game, Liverpool is hoping for a tie or an Everton loss in this one...

Inter/Juventus
This season when 2 big Italian teams, the games have often been disappointing, except when these 2 met. I believe Inter came back from 2-0 in the last 15 minutes last time out. Will Inter do Milan a favour? This game wont be televised by TLN, but will be on tape delay on FSW, dont know when though...

Arsenal vs Chelsea should be a good one, since their first meeting this season was highly entertaining. The Gunners are without Henry and Chelsea don't have Robben, but overall, I don't think it should be a huge factor since both teams have so much depth. If Henry was available, the Gunners sure would be better upfront. I have a feeling it's gonna be a tie, but I really hope Arsenal win this one.

ManU vs Everton is defintely gonna be a tough one, but I think ManU will prevail. They probably got a lot shit from their manager after the loss to Norwich, so they will be out to prove themselves, just as they did with Newcastle.

It was an alright game...Pires had 2 glorious chances to put Arsenal ahead but alas he didnt. Drogba had a good chance, other than that not too many clear cut chances, I too was hoping for a Gunners win!

I watched the Everton-ManU game, Man. was better for the most part but Everton got the counter-goal.
Dont know whats wrong with v. Nistelrooy, his heart doesnt seem to be in it.
Rooney had some good chances but couldnt score - I still think that Rooney is not a natural goal scorer
Nevile and Scholes got red cards for stupid stuff!!!

BTW I think Scholes and Keane are washed up!!

ManU had 2 players sent off in the late second half ... I think the Red Devils are losing it. Now they trail Arsenal by 4 points, and still have to play Chelsea. From the looks of it, I don't think ManU will be able to get into second place this season again .... well another round of CL qualifications for them.

Norwich wins again ... this time against Newcastle. If they continue to play this way, they have a good chance of avoiding relegation. Now the battle is on for 4th place.

Will those 2 red cards cost ManU in the FA cup final? I know its an automatic 3-game suspension, but I dont know when the FA Cup final is, if its in mid May then they're safe.

I didnt know this until recently, but since Arsene Wenger has been at Arsenal they have finished either 1st or 2nd, for 7 seasons...now thats impressive...but will they ever achieve european success in the next few seasons?

and surprisingly Inter beat Juventus 1-0 today...

No, the 2 red card suspensions won't last until the finals, because the FA Cup showdown is on May 21, and ManU have 4 games to go before that.

That's good news for AC Milan, because now both Juve and AC share the lead in Serie A, with Juve leading on a goal differential of +1.
