Tony's Fiver

1: Chelsea need Terry fit

John Terry must be fit if Chelsea are to win the Champions League final in Moscow. He has been back to his best in the past six weeks, showing the commanding form that helped him to become England captain.

2: Time to switch on

It is 2008, there is a massive amount of live football on television and we can watch each Champions League match, so why can’t we watch every Premier League game on the last day of the season?

3: Confidence tricks

Fulham’s survival is not down to genius management, more the way that belief can snowball from nowhere. Even the players must have thought that it was over when they went 2-0 down against Manchester City.

4: Money well spent?

Manchester City’s results have nosedived since Christmas. If they had started the season as they finished it, Sven-Göran Eriksson would have been sacked long ago. Is ninth a great return for £50 million spent?

5: Top two pulling away

All the talk is of the gap between the top flight and the Championship, but the two divisions below are increasingly being cut adrift financially. Clubs are releasing huge numbers of players.
