Tomorrow is the last day of the Premier League season


Tomorrow is the last day of the Premier League season. Chelsea are in first place with 83 points and play at home against Wigan Athletic. Manchester United are in second place with 82 points and travel to play Stoke City. Given this situation, why would the management of Ape Canyon News Service be rooting against Chelsea and for Manchester United?

In one word-- Pato. It appears that there is a strong likelihood that Pato will follow Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti (pictured above) to Chelsea during the off season. The best chance of preventing this would be if Chelsea lose and Ancelotti is fired for losing the title on the last day. Thus, tomorrow we will be rooting (improbably) for the devil.

Match Report: Fiorentina 0 - Milan 2

In the final game of the season, Milan beat Fiorentina 2-0 (goals by Kaka and Pato).  It was Paolo Maldini's final game (number 902, to be exact).  (See picture below).  Now the way is clear for manager Carlo Ancelotti to leave - probably to go to Chelsea - to probably be replaced by Leonardo.  (See picture above - Ancelotti is on the left; Leonardo, on the right.)  If this is true, we here at Ape Canyon News Service wish Carlo all the best, even if we don't like Chelsea.  He has done a wonderful job for Milan over the years.

Odd Hug!


This is Ancelotti (Milan's coach) and Spaletti (Roma's coach) hugging at the Roma- Milan game. Ancelotti has announced many times that he wants Spaletti's job. Actually, I think they are friends.

So the question is: Would you give the man who wants to steal your job a hug?
