Juventus have won the Scudetto, when rivals AC Milan were held to a 3-3 draw at the San Siro by Palermo. Milan had gone into half time leading 3-1 and seemingly in a strong position, but two second half goals by Toni & Santana levelled things up. This means that the Milanese club is 4 points behind Juve with just one match to go and cannot catch up on them.



Today evening, the football world will try to watch the match billed as the "salvage the season" match. Ofcourse I mean the FA Cup final to be played between Manchester United & Arsenal in Cardiff ,around 6:30 pm India time. Both giants are, at the moment like wonded tigers and no one is willing to bet which tiger will come out with their claws showing and which one will succumb to the wounds. I guess Manchester United has the more to gain, because Arsenal are already gaurenteed a starting place in the final 32 of the Champions League for next season. Man U will have to qualify and some of these matches in Europe can be tricky. Also it has been two seasons since United have been Champions of England last and this fact will sting a lot more. Also knowing that they have a second truly serious contender to the rights of rulers of the EPL in Chelsea, will make this FA cup final all the more important for them. Rumours of even more money being promised for the Blues to spend on big name players means that both United & Arsenal will have to dig deep to buy new top class players. This match is going to be one to remember.



Song for the day - "Let's Get Rocked" - DEF LEPPARD
