If Manchester United win their remaining fixtures and claim the Premier League title they will have done so without ever stepping out of first gear, stumbling to the finish line rather than a galloping victory.

A great victory for Real Madrid against rivals Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, the game was mainly dominated by Barcelona from the 2^nd half onwards but it was Real Madrid who broke the deadlock in extra time through a Cristiano Ronaldo header giving them a 1-0 victory and Mourinho delivering them their first trophy in 3 years.

It’s as if Arsenal like to make the 6 year trophy drought an even harder challenge to overcome, a Carling Cup final against Birmingham look set to end this as they looked dominant heading into extra time but a stupid mistake cost them extra time as Obafemi Martins made it 2-1 with only a few minutes to go.

Whilst eye-catching guys like Nani, Jack Wilshere and Joey Barton (Yes even him!) have stood out this year for their performances, a left back playing in North London has this season come on leaps and bounds.

The Ivory Coast-born forward has just recently broken into the England U19 squad and was also linked with Liverpool in January.

And finally, a couple of quick questions for you. Who is the most anonymous – Torres in a blue shirt or Nick Clegg in an election campaign? And who is approaching the season’s end most nervously – Arsenal’s back-four or Neil Lennon’s postman?

The Brazilian starlet has been heavily linked with United over the past year, but Sir Alex Ferguson is set to renew his interest this summer, as he looks to battle it out with local rivals City for his signature.

According to reports in Italy Arsenal are stepping up their efforts to sign Udinese midfielder Gokhan Inler.
