Ed blogs on Sir Alex Ferguson and the relegation battle

An incredible week of football, yet only one story in town. And not just in this country. Sir Alex Ferguson was headline news across Europe, Asia, Africa and even in America.

This week was the last Monday Night Football of the season. It was enjoyable to reminisce after the game on Monday night as it's been a lot of fun to present alongside Gary. My favourite Neville quote from a long shortlist was when I asked which was his favourite Premier League ground to visit. Answer: "The Emirates. They have a great buffet." There is some top sport going on in May. What a great time of year this is for racing. Hot on the heels of the Guineas are Derby and Oaks trials with the May Meetings at Chester this week then York. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the reappearance of Liber Nauticus, hopefully in the Musidora on the Knavesmire. There's also the ongoing Giro d'Italia, Spanish Grand Prix and TPC at Sawgrass. However, on Sunday the eyes of the sporting world will be on one man.
