THE BUSINESS END
With several weeks of nothingness looming, bar the odd bit of transfer-related tumbleweed rolling across the football landscape until the Women’s World Cup takes the bare look off the summer, it’s important we enjoy the last few weeks of the season before everything shuts down after Big Cup final next month. This weekend the action ramps up another few notches as the Premier League inches closer to its denouement with the title and a couple of top-four places up for grabs, while the unseemly scramble to avoid – with apologies to not-officially-doomed-quite-yet Southampton – the two remaining relegation spots continues to enthral. It looks almost certain that two of Leicester, Leeds, Forest and Everton will be joining Saints as they go marching in to the Championship, in a race to the bottom that has eclipsed even that of the Tory party.
