It’s a bank holiday Monday everywhere. Hope you had a good easter and you’re full with chocolate eggs. A quick look at what’s going on.
Thierry Henry has hailed Dennis Bergkamp as his perfect partner – “Dennis will sometimes do things out of nowhere, and for me that is why he is the best I have played with.”
Meanwhile Dennis himself is looking for a big finish to the season after his fine 20 minutes on Saturday, saying “It is nice to have come on and really been involved in the game, helping with the second goal and scoring the third. Hopefully I can have a few more good moments like that and finish in a good way.”
Would there be a more fitting way for him to go out than to curl home a shot like the one against West Brom in the last minute in Paris? Not that I’m tempting fate or anything but neither is Dennis despite the fact he’s already booked the Eurostar.
The race for 4th place is still well and truly on and Sp*rs take on Manchester United today. We need United to take points from them and I’m not going down the road of them doing us a favour or them deliberately not trying as hard because it’s just nonsense. Both teams need the points for different reasons and I’m keeping fingers crossed United can get at least a point because then it makes Saturday’s North London derby one of the most important in recent years. It’s always a massive game and even though we won the league at their place a couple of seasons ago there’s nearly more at stake this time around as both teams are desperate for the points. Fingers crossed (sorry, Phil!).
After today we’ll know a bit more about how the weekend ahead will shape up and we can concentrate fully on Villarreal on Wednesday. We should have some injury news about Cesc as well, so tune in for that.
And that’s it. Till tomorrow.
