Hello! While some players and fans can start to wind down, it is getting into the serious stuff for many others. And that's why we're all gripped.

Titles, European qualification, relegation.. fantasy football prizes and pride... it is all to play for...

After almost nine months of joy and despair, perspiration and inspiration, the summer break is within touching distance. As is an expensive pina colada.

May has arrived and that means sunny Saturday afternoons (hopefully), kids wearing full replica kits (probably) and outdoor beer gardens packed pre-match (definitely).

But not everyone can relax just yet...
