Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will take charge of his final home game when his side take on Swansea on Sunday.
The 71-year-old is retiring at the end of the season after more than 26 years in charge at Old Trafford.
Ferguson has this year led United to a 13th league title during his tenure, with the Premier League trophy to be presented following the match.
An emotional final day of the season at Old Trafford has been taken to a whole new level. The Premier League trophy presentation party has become a grand retirement bash that tickets are in huge demand for.
For some, it still won't have properly sunk in that Manchester United will have a different man in charge of the team next season. In the space of less than 48 hours this week, football as millions have only ever known it changed massively.
The match itself is almost a side show, but with both teams able to relax and play without pressure it might turn out to be a really enjoyable one to watch.
There are still targets of sorts to aim for.
Two points from their last two games will mean Swansea beating their total of last season - a bit of a boon for Michael Laudrup over Brendan Rodgers, you might say. The visitors also have the incentive of a first-ever win away to United. We know from Tuesday's win at Wigan that they won't drop a gear just because the day isn't 'about them'.
United need to win their last two games to equal their best ever points total in a 38-game Premier League season, achieved in 1999-2000. They'd also like to find some form befitting the trophy that they'll receive at the end, having won just one of their last four games.
Above all though, they need to give the most successful manager in British football history a winning home send off.
Sir Alex Ferguson's first Old Trafford game was a 1-0 win over QPR 26-and-a-half years ago. It was watched by a crowd of 42,235 - some 14,000 short of being full. A capacity crowd of close to 76,000 will be there for his last game. I bet 26 years from now more than double that number will claim "I was there"!

Everton V West Ham Premier League live stream Preview 12 May 2013

Match Preview: Sunday,12 May 2013, One of the important match Everton V West Ham of  Premier League HD Quality Live Everton V West Ham streaming is available here.Everton V West Ham Live Stream online  Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at Goodison Park on 5/12/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Everton V West Ham Live Stream Everton V West Ham,Everton V West Ham online free, Everton V West Ham live,Game Notes Everton defender Phil Neville is denied a Goodison Park swansong due to injury as he prepares to leave the club in a playing capacity.
Departing manager David Moyes has no other injury concerns to contend with in what is also his last home match in charge of the Toffees.
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to Merseyside.
Defensive duo James Tomkins and George McCartney are the only players missing.
There's unlikely to be a greater indication that Manchester United have chosen wisely in their new appointment than the send off David Moyes is sure to receive from the Everton fans this weekend.
Fully aware of their outgoing manager's credentials, his last appearance in the home dug out will doubtlessly provoke feelings of gratitude and an understanding of his decision, rather than any bitterness.
Most will feel that if he did have to end his long association with the club, then at least it has been for the biggest job in the country.
While a flotilla of flash bulbs will accompany his every move on Sunday, Moyes will again demonstrate one of his most admirable qualities and remain totally focused on events on the pitch.
After all, a win against West Ham will ensure Everton a second successive top-flight finish above Liverpool - something they've not achieved since 1937! That would certainly be a significant addition to Moyes' CV.
In reality the match itself will feel like a sideshow to both supporters and media alike, as questions about the future will be much more pressing.
Everton's European hopes are all but beyond them, while the Hammers' Premier League status is guaranteed. The main topic of debate among those occupying the Gwladys Street End therefore will surely be about Moyes' successor, as names such as Michael Laudrup, Roberto Martinez and even Philip Neville have been prevalent on Merseyside.
Despite the many distractions, what is for certain is that Moyes won't want his final home game to simply fizzle out. Like each of his previous 425 Premier League games at Everton's helm, he'll demand a fully committed performance - and the three points.
Already guaranteed to end the campaign with his fewest defeats, two more victories would also earn him his biggest-ever points total as Everton boss. It would be a fitting way to conclude his reign

QPR v Newcastle Premier League live stream Preview 12 May 2013

Shaun Wright-Phillips (ankle) and Andrew Johnson (knee) will miss the remainder of the season - both have undergone surgery.
Newcastle are waiting on the fitness of midfielders Moussa Sissoko (ankle) and Sylvain Marveaux (groin), and defender Davide Santon (hamstring).
Tim Krul (shoulder) and Ryan Taylor (knee) are out for the season.
Football commentators aren't as detached from events unfolding in front of them as listeners might think. To fully describe the atmosphere of a football crowd, you have to open your heart to share those emotions.
I can still remember only too bleakly the raw hurt of Newcastle fans around me at Villa Park on May 24th 2009 after Damien Duff's own goal relegated them. To prevent another last day nightmare scenario, Alan Pardew's team can't afford to lose at Loftus Road.
Memories are still so vibrant of a more joyous day there - 7 May 2011, after news filtered through that QPR wouldn't be deducted points over the questionable registration of midfielder Alejandro Faurlin and promotion to the Premier League was confirmed. They lost that day to Leeds but it didn't matter. There was elation everywhere among partying fans. It was special. So it'll be so sad to be there for their final home Premier League game after two years of muddled management at the very top of the club where serious mistakes have been made in their transfer policy.
Harry Redknapp will want to go out with a bang to create some momentum for a promotion campaign. They were unlucky to lose against Arsenal and desperately need to give their fans some crumbs of comfort after 15 home defeats in 37 games over two wretched seasons and all but two weeks of the last nine months stuck in the bottom two.
Whole-hearted great professionals like Clint Hill have been let down by team-mates of questionable commitment to the cause. No club in the top 10 divisions of the English football pyramid have scored fewer home goals. They've had nine scoring blanks there. It's 365 minutes since they last netted anywhere.
But Loic Remy could still trouble Newcastle's frail defence on the ground and Bobby Zamora could worry them in the air. It's not a good stadium for Newcastle, who haven't triumphed there in 18 years and have also won fewer away games this season than in any previous Premier League campaign.
Wigan's midweek defeat has eased the pressure on Pardew's team, but not by much. With Arsenal at home on the last day they really have to win this one in the relegation rat-race riddle.
Fabricio Coloccini's return at West Ham brought greater defensive stability. His injury and those of seven other players sidelined for at least a month have been corrosive to a squad stretched thin by the Europa League. Some new signings have struggled. Last season's heroes Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote have disappointed. Eight goals in the last 13 games paint a dismal picture. Lose this one and fans will be transported back to that dreadful day four years ago at Villa.

Midfielder Steve Sidwell is again absent through suspension.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is out for the season after having surgery this week on his persistent shoulder injury.
Top scorer Luis Suarez is still suspended, while defensive stalwart Jamie Carragher plays his penultimate match for the club.
Fulham's name has never been mentioned as speculation has mounted in recent weeks about which clubs might be dragged into the relegation issue but if the season had another four games to go rather than two, there would be a few thousand fingernails being bitten and chewed down at the Cottage.
Fulham hit the magic 40-point mark four weeks ago and have been stuck there ever since. Mathematically, they still need another two points to be safe, but realistically their current points tally coupled with a healthy goal difference will be enough.
So motivation needs to come from a desire not to finish another steady season this badly. Four straight defeats culminating in last week's 4-2 humiliation at home to already relegated Reading is their worst run in over three years.
The rot needs to stop now otherwise Fulham will record their lowest Premier League finish and their lowest points tally since their last day survival in 2008.
On the face of it Liverpool have nothing to play for, unlikely to move up or down from seventh place.
They arrive in confident mood, unbeaten in their last six games and looking to rip apart another defence on foreign soil. Newcastle were lucky to escape at 6-0 at St James' Park a fortnight ago and only champions Manchester United have scored more away goals than Liverpool.
I'll be thrilled if Philippe Coutinho can pull the strings again. Equally I'd be chuffed if Dimitar Berbatov hits the heights. As long as somebody, somewhere scores. After three successive goalless draws for Match of the Day at Swansea, Reading and West Ham I'm beginning to fear I'll never commentate on a goal again!

Vitesse Arnhem vs VVV Venlo Dutch Eredivisie live stream Preview 12 May 2013

As shown in the Vitesse Arnhem - VVV Venlo odds comparison above, the best odds currently offered on Vitesse Arnhem are 1.20 at bet365. The best odds available on the draw are 6.00 at bet365, and an VVV Venlo win is best-priced at 11.00 (at bet365).
This means that according to the best prices offered by bookmakers Vitesse Arnhem have a 83% chance to win the match, VVV Venlo have a 9% chance to win and the draw is a 17% chance.
Having seen the odds for Vitesse Arnhem - VVV Venlo match do you want to place a bet? The current form of both teams will be very useful.
Vitesse Arnhem are 8th in the Ehrendivision table, with 0 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats. VVV Venlo are currently in 8th position with 0 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats.
Away from home VVV Venlo have won 0 games from 0, and Vitesse Arnhem have won 0 games out of 0 at home.
Vitesse failed to qualify for the Champions League despite playing great throughout the whole season. They are currently 4th and definitely will play in the Europa League, but still have chances for the 3rd spot, if Feyenoord fails to win.

Venlo are on 17th place from 18 teams and will be playing in the relegation playoffs. That is why probably the team will not field the best squad possible. Even if they win here, they will be playing those playoffs , which will seal their fate. We expect that they will not give 100% in this game.
Vitesse plays well against Venlo. They won their last 3 home games against this team with at least 2 goals difference:
13.08.2011 D1 Vitesse Arnhem 4-0 VVV Venlo
05.03.2011 D1 Vitesse Arnhem 2-0 VVV Venlo
07.11.2009 D1 Vitesse Arnhem 2-0 VVV Venlo
Vitesse have scored 68 goals this season and their striker Bony is on top of the goalscorers list with 31 goals. They will try to get that 3rd spot and we expect an easy game against a team that does not really care about this game.

PSV Eindhoven

The Boeren suffered a demoralising 3-1 defeat at the hands of their arch-rivals, Ajax Amsterdam, in their last league encounter at Amsterdam Arena on December 1.

Siem de Jong’s opener in the 29th minute was cancelled out by a Jeremain Lens strike seven minutes later. However, Danny Hoesen and Viktor Fischer netted a goal each in the closing stages of the game to secure a convincing victory for the Amsterdammers.

Occupying the third spot in the league standings, the Eindhoven giants have staged mesmerising shows since the start of the ongoing 2012/13 campaign. They have an impressive record both at home and on the road, and have an overall record of 15 played, 11 won and 4 lost.

Dick Advocaat, the PSV head coach, has expressed satisfaction over his side’s midweek’s Europa League win over Napoli, and has insisted that his troops have the quality to emerge victorious against the table-toppers at home on Sunday.

FC Twente Enschede

The Tukkers secured an impressive 2-0 victory in their last Eredivisie game against ADO Den Haag in front of their home crowd on December 1.

After a goalless opening half that saw limited goalscoring opportunities at both ends, the home side grabbed the lead through Dusan Tadic in the 55th minute. Seven minutes before the full time whistle, Dmitri Bulykin added his name to the score-sheet to seal the victory in favour of the hosts.

Sitting at the summit of the league table, the Enschede giants have thus far remained unbeaten at home, and their showings on the road have also remained impressive. They have an overall record of 15 played, 10 won, 4 drawn and 1 lost.

Steve McClaren, the Tukkers boss, has urged his troops to put in a solid performance against the Boeren if they are to secure a good result. However, the English trainer knows that his side faces an uphill task against the Eindhoven giants.

Fiorentina vs Palermo Italian Serie A live stream Preview 12 May 2013

Match Preview: Sunday,12 May 2013, One of the important match Fiorentina vs Palermo of  Italian Serie A HD Quality Live Fiorentina vs Palermo streaming is available here.Fiorentina vs Palermo Live Stream online  Italian Serie A Video Free The match will take plcae at Stadio Artemio Franchi  on 5/12/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Fiorentina vs Palermo Live Stream Fiorentina vs Palermo,Fiorentina vs Palermo online free, Fiorentina vs Palermo live,Only 2 rounds to go, Fiorentina has slight chances to reach Champions league qualification place. 4 points is reachable but maybe too far away at this point of the season. I believe they wants to take full points from these last matches and see how far it takes them. Especially in last home match of the season they wanna show good match front of their fans.

Palermo in the other side, Palermo has slight chances to avoid relegation. 4 points are maybe too far away and against topper teams it might be hard to reach.
Last time these two teams played against each other, Fiorentina took convincing 3-0 victory on Palermo home stadion. I expect same kind of result to come here. Expected result; 2-0, 3-0.
Fiorentina (4th W19 D7 L10)


Fiorentina condemned local rivals Siena to almost certain relegation with their 1-0 win at the Stadio Artemio Franchi thanks to a strike from Gonzalo Rodriguez.

The win secures Fiorentina’s presence in the Europa League, but the Viola fans would have wanted more. However, the 0-1 home defeat to AS Roma was decisive in their chase for the third spot.

Montella’s side has the chance to condemn another team to relegation as 18th placed Palermo will visit them on Sunday. The Sicilians need a victory to keep their chances alive, but I’m sure Fiorentina will have other plans.

Fiorentina’s second best scorer Adam Ljajic will sit this one out as he’s suspended and so will injured midfielder Alberto Aquilani who’ll be replaced by Fernandez.

Palermo (18th W6 D14 L16)


Palermo had a good chance to stay in touch with Genoa, but in-form Udinese inflicted their second consecutive defeat after the one against champions Juventus and the Sicilians are now with one foot in Serie B.

The Sicilians showed a lot of determination equalizing twice, but Mehdi Benatia’s 83th minute finish saw Palermo slump to a defeat which leaves them four points from safety with two games left.

It is mission impossible for Palermo from now on, they have to pick up all points in Firenze after having failed to win 21 of their last 22 away games in Serie A and will need Genoa to pick up not more than one point in their remaining games.

Palermo will travel to Firenze without midfielder Edgar Barreto, but Donati is back after serving a one match suspension and will take his place in the Rosanero midfield.

The Betting Verdict

This is Fiorentina’s last home match of the season, so they’ll want to leave a positive impression (if that is still possible after failing to secure a podium finish) with a win over strugglers Palermo.

Palermo on the other hand will have to go all out for a victory, but what’s frustrating is that they can say still relegate at the end of this round even in the unlikely event of a win in Firenze if other results go against them.

The odds are quite short for the home win if we assume that the motivation factor will play an important role in this game, as I mentioned before Palermo are playing with their backs against the wall.

Fiorentina holds a solid home record, but Palermo has not lost any of their last seven games by more than a goal, they’ve actually only lost two of their last 18 games by a two or more goal margin (against Napoli and Milan).

Therefore, I’ll back Palermo to keep this close and say goodbye to Serie A with their honor intact

Genoa (17th W8 D12 L16)


Genoa are unbeaten in their last five Serie A games and a victory against Inter Milan at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris would secure their presence in the upcoming Serie A season.

Last time out Genoa played out a 0-0 draw at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin after a dull encounter with hardly any chances of note, but after all it was a result that seemed to have satisfied both teams.

They will now return to Genoa and will try to record a second successive home win after the solid 4-1 win over relegated Pescara. It’s not an unrealistic objective, Inter is in deep trouble at the moment.

Coach Ballardini doesn’t have important absences to worry about, Boriello and Floro Flores will be favored up front once again.

Inter Milan (8th W16 D5 L15)


Inter Milan suffered another defeat on Wednesday at the Giuseppe Meazza, this time against Europa League chasing Lazio in a match that ended 3-1 for the guests.

The result leaves Inter in eight position on 53 points, which means that for the first time in 15 seasons the Nerazzurri will not be present in any continental competitions.

Inter Milan will now try to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat on the road against Genoa, but it will be hard to do it with a crippled squad and no confidence whatsoever.

The good news for coach Stramaccioni is that Cassano could return to the starting line-up, but there are 15 other absences, 10 of which could have been starters. Defenders Juan Jesus and Alvaro Pereira are both suspended for this match, which means that Stramaccioni may have to improvise with Cambiasso in defense.

The Betting Verdict

This is as good of a chance as any for Genoa to secure their presence in the upcoming Serie A season, playing at home against an Inter Milan side that has never been weaker.

We just have to take a look at Inter’s defense for this match to realize that the Nerazzuri are very unlikely to avoid defeat in Genoa. Benassi, Chivu, Cambiasso and Pasa should not offer too much protection for goalkeeper Handanovic.

I can’t see past a home win in this one, I expect Genoa to pile on Inter’s misery, at this point the Nerazzuri just want to get over with these two remaining games and start preparing for the upcoming season.

Stoke v Tottenham Premier League live stream Preview 12 May 2013

Match Preview: Sunday,12 May 2013, One of the important match Stoke v Tottenham of  Premier League HD Quality Live Stoke v Tottenham streaming is available here.Stoke v Tottenham Live Stream online  Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at Britannia Stadium on 5/12/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Stoke v Tottenham Live Stream Stoke v Tottenham,Stoke v Tottenham online free, Stoke v Tottenham live,Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan is nursing a groin problem that ruled him out at Sunderland, so Dean Whitehead could retain his starting spot.The Potters will also assess defenders Andy Wilkinson and Marc Wilson, both of whom are injury doubts.
Tottenham welcome back Mousa Dembele, who missed the draw at Chelsea because of a hamstring problem.
Gylfi Sigurdsson will hope to earn a start after scoring as a substitute in midweek.
You can't really argue with a point at Chelsea, but the desperate, pleading looks on the faces of Spurs fans craving one more piece of genius from Gareth Bale as he stepped up take his last-minute free-kick against Chelsea told the story - that was a game Tottenham had to win.
Now Spurs are hoping for either Chelsea or Arsenal to slip up - and Chelsea will have played at Aston Villa 24 hours before the trip to the Britannia Stadium - but even if they do Tottenham surely cannot afford to drop any more points, and Stoke has not been a happy hunting ground.
Whether it was the hapless Heurelho Gomes bursting into tears there in Juande Ramos' last match in charge (Gareth Bale and Michael Dawson were sent off in that game), or the sight of White Hart Lane reject Matthew Etherington celebrating a double in last season's defeat (Younes Kaboul saw red in that one); Spurs have not had much fun in the Potteries.
It wasn't much fun for them back at the Lane in December either as they played out a nondescript goalless draw. Back then Stoke were on an unbeaten run which was to stretch to 10 games; without that peak in November and December Tony Pulis' side would now be in dire trouble.
I saw them lose to Manchester United last month and, notwithstanding the opposition, it was about as grim a display as I have ever seen from a Stoke side under Pulis, who deserves enormous credit for getting his team to take seven points from the three games since.
Such is the congestion in the bottom half of the division that Stoke's late flurry of form means they are now only two points off 10th place and as a result could yet finish in the top half of the top division for the first time since 1981. That would be great on paper, but Pulis and his bosses know the reality: that it's been a long, tough season at the Britannia.
Stoke City
  • The Potters have claimed seven points from a possible nine, having taken only one point from the previous 21 available.
  • Stoke have drawn 14 Premier League games this season, a tally only Everton (15) can beat.
  • They have scored 11 Premier League goals since the turn of the year, the joint-lowest figure in the top flight (along with Norwich).
Tottenham Hotspur
  • Tottenham have only lost two of their last 20 Premier League games (W11, D7, L2).
  • Spurs have drawn 2-2 in five of their last seven league and cup games. They scored the opening goal in each of those draws.
  • According to statisticians Opta, Tottenham have scored more goals from outside the penalty area (14) than any other Premier League team this season.
  • Both of Andre Villas-Boas' previous Premier League matches against Stoke have ended 0-0.
  • Spurs have won nine away games this season, and can reach double figures in a Premier League season for the first time.
