UEFA Cup Final in Istanbul tonight. I'm going to go for a Shaktar Donetsk win, if only because Werder Bremen's two key men (Diego and Hugo Almeida) are suspended. I think it's on ITV4.

Not too much of any interest happening during the week really, with the onus more on the play-off finals and the battle to avoid relegation from the top flight this weekend. Newcastle's bid to have Bassong's red card rescinded so he can take part in their crucial game against Villa has failed, think that's about it in terms of Premier League stories.

Plenty of silly rumours going round as usual, including a proposed £20m swoop from Barca for Ashley Cole.
