Sunday football

So we’ve been through the snow and freezing fog, Christmas and new year, we bade farewell to Slav and welcomed Dave. We’ve crapped our collective self at the prospect of relegation and witnessed a corner flag transplanted to the centre spot. We’ve protested – or not – at the owners, and now the beer gardens are open once more and village greens are ready for that summer game of bat and ball. The last day of the Premier League season is here.
All the main Premier League issues have been resolved, barring two unlikely scorelines at Southampton and Swansea. I, for one, would like to see Swansea have a go and put the heeby-jeebies up Southampton for a while as Citeh strive to reach 100 points.
Most of the teams above us have really difficult games today, which means that we could actually finish the season in the top 10. Stranger things have happened. Ask your great-granddad.
At the top end of the table – a region we will forever, it seems, require a visa to visit – Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea will battle for third place against Leicester, Brighton and Newcastle respectively.
It may have escaped your notice that Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, takes charge of his final game for that north London club today. He might have wished for rather more glamourous opponents than Huddersfield to mark his exit, but the Terriers have earned the right to be in celebratory mood and will doubtless offer M Wenger a guard of honour and whatever other emotional etiquette is demanded by the modern game.
Each place is worth about £2 million, so you’d imagine that a few chairmen will have had a quiet word with their managers about team selection. While the blooding of promising youngsters at this time falls by the wayside.
Speaking of falling by the wayside, BFS’s position at Everton seems far from secure and a good hiding today will only serve to strengthen the voices of Scousers demanding change. Would they take a previous manager back? Will that previous manager still be in charge of our mighty club in August, armed with a gaggle of new world-class players and ready to take on the world with Guardiola-style football? Well, we can dream, can’t we?
The World Cup kicks off in a month and a day with the mouth-watering prospect of Russia taking on Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, here are today’s fixtures – the only day of the season when all teams play and kick-off at the same time.
Burnley vs Bournemouth
Crystal Palace vs West Bromwich Albion
Huddersfield Town vs Arsenal
Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Manchester United vs Watford
Newcastle United vs Chelsea
Southampton vs Manchester City
Swansea City vs Stoke City
Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City
West Ham United vs Everton

He looked good in the first half against us, and shit in the second.
And shit in the MotD highlights today

Obviously, we're miles better than Tottenham - they made Leicester look good, we made them look almost as bad as Southampton...
(If only it worked like that...)

Top tip - don't score the best League goal of May.
Unluckily for Mark Noble, there isn't a GoM for May, and thus he's not even entered in GoS.

Andre Ayew's best highlights this season - two good passes and a goal... well, it might have been if Tammy Abrahams hadn't got in the way
