    How many times can I tell the missus (a non football fan) that there's a huge game on that I can't miss? I've been telling her for a while that the season ends soon, but Pompey in the playoffs (season ticket holder), then FA Cup Final, then UCL Final, then Nations League, then go again. It's going to cost me a fortune in distraction gifts and spa days...

  5. Kane on his injurypublished at 14:43 British Summer Time 9 May 2019

    Tottenham v Liverpool (1 June, 20:00 BST)

    "It was a disappointing first half and we let them play," Harry Kane said.

    "I went into the dressing room at half-time and we knew it wasn't good enough."

    He also spoke about whether he would be fit to play in the final on 1 June.

    "Hopefully. Rehab is going well so far. I start straight-line running this week," Kane explained.

    "We'll see. So far so good, so if it carries on as it should I would hope to be (fit). There's still a few weeks to go."

    Remote dilemma - my son is an Arsenal fan, and my other son is a Chelsea fan so there may be a squabble over the remote tonight. Even better though, I'm a Newport County fan, so I'll be pulling rank!!

  7. Goncalo Guedes can make Unai Emery pay in Europa Leaguepublished at 14:36 British Summer Time 9 May 2019

    Valencia v Arsenal (20:00 BST)

    Valencia forward Goncalo Guedes is nicknamed Ducati , externalby his team-mates for his effortless yet explosive motorbike-like acceleration, but has often fluctuated between scorching hot and freezing cold.

    With six goals and three assists in his past 10 games, the 22-year-old is an all-or-nothing kind of player - equally capable of delivering match-winning heroics or leaving you wondering if he's even on the pitch.

    Unfortunately for Valencia, last Thursday's Europa League semi-final first-leg defeat at Arsenal saw one of his too-frequent underwhelming performances; the Portuguese made little impact and was substituted after 70 minutes.

    Signed by Arsenal boss Unai Emery for Paris St-Germain two years ago, Guedes was largely overlooked while in France.

    So could the forward, who is said to epitomise the "new Valencia", send a message to his former boss and help overturn a 3-1 scoreline against Arsenal on Thursday?

    Here's Andy West's feature.

    Sometimes you get the feeling it's going to be a teams year, Chelsea in 2012 had to ride their luck, Spurs this year, needing inter to draw with PSV, the var goal against City & then last night. Just get the sense it's their year, what a job Pochettino has done! Any team a worthy winner after their semi final heroics, though!

    Louis, Glasgow

    It's their year?

    Isn't that Liverpool's line?

  11. Neither Man City nor Liverpool deserve to finish secondpublished at 14:19 British Summer Time 9 May 2019

    Match of the Day analysis

    What Manchester City and Liverpool have done this week in the Premier League and Europe has underlined what exceptional teams they both are, and what a special season this has been.

    It has been a title race like no other I can remember, because of the relentless way both teams have kept on getting results.

    I am expecting both teams to continue their winning runs in their final league games of the season on Sunday, which would mean Liverpool missing out on the title having only lost once in that competition all season.

    If that does happen, it will have taken the best team of the Premier League era to beat them, and the Reds have pushed City all the way.

    Martin Mannion: So Spurs come back from 3-0 down, away from home, in 45 minutes, missing their top striker, against a team that played their socks off and all without spending £150m. Yet they just don't seem to be getting near the credit Liverpool did? Bonkers

  17. What next for Ajax? Is this the end of the road for Dutch giants' young side?published at 14:03 British Summer Time 9 May 2019

    Ajax 2-3 Tottenham

    Alex Bysouth

    "It was like the ground disappeared from under our feet. So close. We were so close."

    Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt's despair as the Dutch giants agonisingly squandered the chance to reach a first Champions League final for 23 years was telling.

    This young side were on the brink of achieving something remarkable until Tottenham staged what had seemed an impossible comeback.

    So... is this the beginning of the end? Head here to find out.

  20. 'Kane went mental at us at half time' - Trippierpublished at 13:50 British Summer Time 9 May 2019

    Ajax 2-3 Tottenham

    Kieran Trippier had some words of praise for his team-mate Harry Kane.

    "Harry is exceptional for club and country.

    "I don't know the timescale with his injury but obviously we're all hoping he can be back [for the final] because of his presence.

    "Even here, at half-time, he came in going mental at us, because we can do better, which we all knew."
