It's the Friday before Sky Sports vastly over-hyped 'Relegation Sunday', and there is just two days left in the Premier League for one of Hull, Newcastle United or Sunderland. With all three staring into a pit of financial doom should they be the unlucky ones sent down, every man and his dog is calling for fair play on the last day of the season, which basicaly eans that they want to see Hull beaten by Manchester United.
Whilst Sir Alex has supposedly become riled by the Press asking him about his team for Sunday's game, the likes of Alan Shearer and Ricky Sbragia are calling on a top-strength team to face the Tigers, which obviously isn't going to happen with the Champions League Final just days away.
Whilst Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Berbatov et al will be fit, ready and rested for Rome on Wednesday, two of Barcelona's key men may be missing out - Thierry Henry and Andres Iniesta (who scored the vital last-gasp winning goal at Stamford Bridge to send barca through) are both sruggling for fitness, and are looking increasingly unlikely to make it. Good news for United fans, who can also count on the support of Liverpool's Steven Gerrard to help them win - he knows United's England contingent quite well and wants them to bring home the Cup!
Hull are also in the news today because naughty Arsenal boy Cesc Fabregas has been let off for his spitting incident. Even though Brian Horton said it happened, the FA board say there isn't enough evidence to charge the young Spaniard, and have let him off the hook. He is free to roam whereever he wants to in his leather jacket in the future.
