Week: 40 (EXTENDED) That Was The Week That Was

Chelsea were presented with the League trophy at their Stamford Bridge Stadium
Where unbelievably John Terry acted as if he was compere at the London Palladium.
In orchestrating his own guard of honour and the time when he would leave the game
Demonstrated all that's wrong with modern football and puts David Moyes to shame.

The aforementioned duly resigned his post with his C.V. increasingly looking grim,
But then Sunderland announce they will ask his advice as to whom should replace him.
Liverpool beat Arsenal to win a place in the Champions League in the 'Top Four' race.
Although if a 'Boro penalty had been given it may have been a lot different in that chase.
Harry Kane fully deserved the 'Golden Boot' scoring a hat trick and playing for fun.
Laurent Koscielny will miss the FA Cup final after his sending off against Everton.

'Big Sam' shocked everyone when he announced to Crystal Palace he was packing it in.
He just wants to savour life while he's still young enough to do so and surely that's no sin.
An innovative manager who many would acknowledge was ahead of most in the game.
He never got the chance to work with a team of top class players and surely that's a shame.

The Europa League came to the rescue of Jose and his team of All-Star /Also-Rans
But football rivalry took second place in this one as the smile was back on the face of the fans,
One for the city of Manchester, United in grief, standing side by side in the face of terror
It was time for a City fan to return home and give a heartfelt shout of 'Live Forever!'

The FA Cup final came at the right time for the beleaguered Wenger to hit back
No planes, no banners this time - just a little more aggression had Chelsea on the rack,
Sanchez dynamite chasing every ball they swamped the favourites at every turn
For all the eulogies that have come his way in season one -  Conte may have a lot to learn,
Never great in the cup competitions in his career the Italian likes to play the long game
He may realise next season with the Champions League quest - things won't be the same,

The transfer season is well under way with Pep stocking up on Silvas to find the golden ticket
Releasing proven winners and signing more keepers he may soon find himself on a sticky wicket,
De Gea's bid rejected as Madrid come calling - this will be a long hot summer for the main men
Lukaku's agent making noises, Barkley still unresolved, Everton fans think 'here we go again!',
Kroenke and Usmanov in a boardroom war still want to back Wenger as Piers Morgan lets rip
Corbyn backs grassroots in his manifesto - while May looks wobbly screaming this will not slip!
