Suarez has Terry tied up in knots

Chelsea may have lifted the FA Cup on Saturday but Liverpool had the last seasonal laugh as Kenny Dalglish's men ran out 4-1 winners over Roberto Di Matteo's charges in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
Even more concerning for the Champions League finalists however, will be the performance of their captain John Terry, who was subjected to multiple nutmegs and an overall humbling by Luis Suarez at Anfield.
 

Juventus emerge from dark days of 2006

Juventus finally secured the Serie A title on Sunday with a victory over Cagliari, as AC Milan stuttered to defeat against rivals Inter.
The championship is the Turin side's first since their demotion to Serie B in 2006, owing to their involvement in the Calciopoli scandal.

It has been a long road back for the Old Lady, who can finally claim to be among Italy's finest once again, if they manage to avoid defeat in their final game of the season, they will have gone the entire league season unbeaten.

Chelsea pensioners enjoy FA Cup

Goals from Ramires and Didier Drogba helped Chelsea to a 2-1 FA Cup final victory over Liverpool on Saturday.

The Wembley win is a concrete sign of the turnaround in fortunes at the club since Andre Villas-Boas' departure in March, with interim boss Roberto Di Matteo leading the west Londoners to silverware and a Champions League final later this month.

Now, with the Blues securing their fourth win in the competition in six years, it seems the Chelsea pensioners are enjoying the comfort of the FA Cup...

Van Persie claims two trophies but Wenger is still dusting off the cobwebs

Robin van Persie was the toast of English football on Thursday night as the Arsenal striker accepted his Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award.

It was the second accolade of the season for the Netherlands international, who was also named the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year just a few weeks ago.
But Arsenal and Arsene Wenger remain empty-handed for another season, leaving the Frenchman to dust the cobwebs out of the trophy cabinet for another season.
