And so this is it, the finale, the conclusion, the final paragraph in the chapter of a superb season of premier league football. Sunday will sum up a historic soccer year with pleanty of crunching fixtures and amazingly the title has still yet to be clinched. After Liverpool's Monday night mis-hap at Selhurst Park, they head into the last day hoping that West Ham can beat title favourites Man City. At the bottom end, Norwich City can only survive the drop if they can win by an impossible eighteen goals, it's more than certain that the Canaries will be joining Cardiff and Fulham in the Championship next year.
Every last top flight game will be kicking off at 3:00PM Sunday and don't even for a second think about switching off this intense day. Although it would seem some teams have nothing to play for, fear not as these footballing face offs will be as fierce as all season because as I say, no one plays to lose. Everyone's eyes are going to be at the Eitihad and Anfield because the title can only go to one of either team. Man City host a recently triumphant West Ham squad, who feature some ex red men in Andy Carroll and Stuart Downing; one point for City here will see them seal the trophy for a second time in three years but one slip and Liverpool could snatch it. At Anfield, Liverpool are going to be relentless as they play Newcastle, three points could see the scouser's steal (a phrase often used) the trophy off the blue side of Manchester, however this is a must win scenario on the hope City lose. A quick drop to the bottom of the table see's Norwich welcome Arsenal to Carrow Road, as the table shows, the boys in Yellow may as well already have the red stripe with R next to their name as eighteen goals are required to survive. Looking at the seasons goal tally and the underperforming strike force, it's looking like they will need a miracle or infact one ginger pele back at the nest to pin back relegation for another year. Finally, Ryan Giggs shall be kicking his last ball in Man United colours this Sunday as he heads off for a luxury life of retirement or possibly the stress of management. After a career that may never be repeated again, the Welshmen will wave goodbye to his fans and followers, let's hope we see him sign a contract controlling a team soon.

WORTH A PUNT...
Every team in the premier league to score on Sunday - 75/1...
As it's the last day in the prem and every team is squaring up in a no holds barred, slug out Paddy Power have come up with this rough diamond of a bet. Logic is telling us that eighteen teams have nothing to play for so imagine the players are already in holiday mode, putting their boots up until the World Cup; this can only mean one thing.. goals. Leaking defenders and strikers looking to poke in one last goal, this Sunday could stage the ultimate goal feast and with only a golden nugget you could seal yourself a tasty seventy five pounds by backing this.
Thanks for Reading and I'll be back with my World Cup Weekly in June!!!
