This town ain't big enough for two
A defining day in the Premier League saw Manchester United draw 4-4 with Everton on Sunday lunchtime, before Manchester City cut their lead at the top of the table to three points with a 2-0 away win against Wolves later in the afternoon.
All that sets up nicely
the mouth-watering Manchester derby on April 30 at the Etihad Stadium,
with the league title firmly in both teams' sights. Will the red half of
the city be rejoicing or will the blue half be making all the noise
come full time?

109 not out!
April 21, 2012 could become one of the most important dates in Real Madrid's recent history. A 2-1 victory against arch-rivals Barcelona in the Clasico on Saturday
could prove to be the defining moment of the Spanish season, as goals
from Sami Khedira and Cristiano Ronaldo put Pep Guardiola's side to the
sword for the first time in La Liga since 2008.
And to cap a memorable evening, Los Blancos have now scored the most goals in a single Primera Division campaign, surpassing the previous record of 107 set under former boss John Toshack in 1989-90, and achieving the feat with four matches remaining.
So not only have Madrid taken a significant step towards ending Barcelona's domestic dominance, but their astonishing scoring feat provides an extra sweetener for Jose Mourinho and his players.

Humble pie
With Borussia Dortmund on the brink of claiming their second successive Bundesliga title, Jurgen Klopp has been vocal in stating that Bayern Munich should recognise the achievements of their rivals.
The Bavarian giants, and especially president Uli Hoeness, have been critical of the Signal Iduna Park side in the past and the relationship between the two clubs is now more strained than ever.
However, with BVB on the verge of defending their title, the Bayern Munich president may have to follow Klopp's advice and finally "take off his hat to BVB's performances"...

Let's get ready to rumble!
With a thrilling Serie A title race between AC Milan and Juventus
set to draw to a close, hostilities between the two Italian giants have
not been contained to the pitch in recent months. A particularly
contentious meeting between the two sides took place at San Siro at the
end of February when Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari had a perfectly legitimate goal disallowed by the match officials, an error that Massimiliano Allegri simply refuses to forget.
The Ghanaian himself has an inventive solution for the rivalry between the two sides: "Allegri always talks about my disallowed goal against Juventus. When the season is over, I suggest a boxing contest between Allegri and Conte."
Well, if all else fails ...
