Redknapp's Gamble Comes Off As Spurs End Arsenal's Season with 2-1 Win Over North London Rivals
Arsenal's title challenge was ended at White Hart Lane tonight as a superb Tottenham Hotspur side beat the Gunners 2-1. A wonder goal from Danny Rose and a slide rule finish by Gareth Bale were enough for Spurs with Niklas Bendtner scoring an 85th minute consolation goal that was a real case of two little too late for Arsene Wenger's side.

Javier Hernandez Signing Spells End for Dimitar Berbatov at Manchester United
Manchester United and Alex Ferguson have sensationally scooped up 21-year-old striker Javier Hernandez from Chivas in Mexico for an as-yet-undisclosed fee.
The signing also seems to signal the end of the affair for Dimitar Berbatov, who is now expected to move on either this or next summer.
Chicharito, as Hernandez is known in Mexico, had been at Old Trafford over the last couple of days being shown around before he passed his medical. It is the perfect lift for the club after their disastrous exit in the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich.
He will sign on the dotted line on July 1, if he qualifies for a work permit, which looks to be a formality.

Alex Ferguson gambled on Manchester United's season by picking an unfit Wayne Rooney against Bayern Munich, and like all poor bets, it did not come off as his team snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against Louis van Gaal's team. Bayern fought back from 3-0 down to 3-2, putting them through on the away goals rule after the tie had finished at 4-4.
Before the match all the talk was of whether Wayne Rooney would even make the bench. As it was the English international was parachuted into the team in place of the lacklustre Dimitar Berbatov, as Ferguson sent the strongest message possible that he had conceded the English Premier League title to Chelsea and that he had completely lost faith in his Bulgarian striker.

Amidst little fanfare in 2008, Barcelona announced a cooperative link up with an obscure team in Uzbekistan, Kuruvchi FC. It is a deal that has definitely benefited both clubs, but the commercial partnership has raised questions. Not least because the Uzbeki government has one of the worst records in the world for human rights violations, and that Barcelona are sponsored by UNICEF.
