On Saturday, the Netherlands lost their friendly to Bulgaria 2-1, courtesy of a penalty and a last minute goal. This time around, Holland managed to beat Slovakia, but once again, the weaknesses in the Dutch side were exposed. Considering the repre haven't won a competitive match since last June, against Andorra, and Holland lost just once in Euro qualifying, Oranje supporters likely thought the friendly match in Rotterdam on Wednesday night would be an easy affair. But the 2-0 scoreline is deceptive: the first goal was an own goal by Kornel Salata, and it took until the 75th minute for Rafael Van Der Vaart to score the second.

The match started off well for the Slovaks, with captain Marek Hamsik sending a header off the bar in the early minutes. But shortly after, their defence disintegrated. Ibrahim Afellay got in behind Peter Pekarik, who failed to get the ball to safety. Salata attempted a clearance but instead knocked the ball past his own goalkeeper, Jan Mucha.

Slovakia didn't do themselves any favors later in the half, particularly when a sloppy backpass allowed the visitors a free kick just seven yards out from goal. Hamsik sent it short to Miroslav Stoch, who blasted what should have been an easy goal right into the side netting. But a stronger, or perhaps less experimental, side could have done some damage to the Dutch. Holland's defensive play left much to be desired, with both Gregory Van Der Wiel and John Heitinga making sloppy mistakes.

It was only in the last twenty minutes or so that Holland started to show their strength -- and the greater their attack, the less their defensive errors seemed to matter. The goal from Van Der Vaart showed the oranje at their best, as the attackers weaved through the Slovakia defence. With two defenders doing their best to stop Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Van Der Vaart was able to slip through, grab the ball, and drive it into the far corner of the net.

And so a win for Holland, this time, but not one that gives a lot of confidence to Netherlands supporters. They're very aware that not only does the group contain both Portugal, who could surprise, and Denmark, whom many feel will surprise, but their most mortal football enemies, Germany. Barring a much better performance against Northern Ireland at the weekend, June 9th will likely have many in Holland biting their orange-painted nails.

Get out the gin and the party crackers, because it is time to celebrate -- Alex McLeish is gone, gone, gone. Reports are everywhere -- BBC saying he's said goodbye to the players, Stan Collymore is tweeting that he's out, Sky's saying he's gone...the list goes on, and on, and on. The only thing we're missing is a tweet from Mat Kendrick and an official club statement. ****EDIT: CLUB PUT OUT THEIR STATEMENT. HE IS REALLY GONE*****

But if the media got our hopes up for nothing, they might be facing a riot in the streets. Aston Villa supporters want nothing more than to see our club set back on the right path. There's still a buzz about that the reason we hate Alex McLeish is because of his connection to Birmingham City. Wrong. Sure, no one liked the fact that he came over from the Bluenose side, but the fact is, he got our rivals relegated. Then he showed up at Aston with nothing but negative football. He pandered to the old guard, the ones that are tired and creaky and need to be sent away. His tactics were the same, match after match. He played Alan Hutton and Stephen Warnock in midfield. He bought Alan Hutton, for goodness sake. He refused to play the youth unless he was desperate. Villa finished with a point less than Birmingham did last season. All in all, it's been the most depressing season most of us have faced. There was no joy to be had from football this year.

ESPN Soccernet tends to be sensationalist in its headlines, and "McLeish Set to Leave Aston Villa" is no exception. That's what the story is titled, but really, it's just about Alex McLeish holding talks with Paul Faulkner and Randy Lerner. Yes, McLeish had a dreadful, horrible final match of the season against Norwich. The fact that he was pitted against Paul Lambert certainly didn't help, as it showcased just what could be for our beloved Villa. But can he really be set to get the hell away?

AC Milan are still in with a chance to push the scudetto race to the final round of the Serie A season, but only through some good luck and an absolute gift. Inter Milan had one goal just barely (though correctly) disallowed, while the referee gave the rossoneri a very fortunate penalty. At halftime in the Milan derby, Milan and Inter are tied 1-1.

With 12 minutes in, Zlatan Ibrahimovic missed a huge chance to put Milan ahead. Robinho put in a perfect ball and the normally flawless Swede managed to miss from just six yards out. How?

The rossoneri were certainly ruing that missed sitter just a few minutes later, when Diego Milito put Inter ahead. Wesley Sneijder earned Inter a free kick, taken beautifully, drifting into the area. Walter Samuel neatly sent the ball over to Milito, who easily slotted home while Alessandro Nesta and Mario Yepes stood aside and watched.

Inter almost went 2-0 ahead a couple of minutes later on another well-taken set piece that appeared to be poorly defended, but Inter's attackers drifted offside and Lucio had a goal disallowed.

Up top, Milan's front three just weren't clicking for much of the first half. Here's a typical first-half sequence: Ibrahimovic will lay off for Robinho, but Robinho doesn't pick up on the ball. Robinho comes forward, and there's no support. As for Kevin-Prince Boateng, well, no one is exactly sure what he's doing. But whatever it is, it's not helping his team.

Milan have also had some bad injury luck and have already been forced to burn through two of their subs. Max Allegri will have to get his defense sorted out in the locker room, and he's lucky that his side did not concede more than once with both Christian Abbiati and Daniele Bonera coming off injured. Marco Amelia and Mattia De Sciglio were their replacements.

Inter appeared to be coasting into halftime with a comfortable 1-0 lead, but they were handed a gift by the referee in the 44th minute. Boateng got clear on goal, but took a heavy touch that allowed Julio Cesar to clear the ball. He rushed out off his line and made a great play, clearing the ball away without contacting Boateng. Unfortunately for the nerazzurri, the referee saw something different and awarded a penalty to Milan. Ibrahimovic stepped up and buried the spot kick, giving Milan a rather undeserved way back into the match.

The Derby della Madonnina always seems significant, simply due to the two Milan teams doing battle in the stadium they share. This season, the pressure is on for both teams. Inter could, technically, still claim third place, if Udinese lose next week and the nerazzurri take their last six points. But the risks are higher for the visiting team. If Juventus win against Cagliari, the rossoneri must defeat Inter in order to have any hope of the scudetto.

Lineups:

Inter Milan Starting XI: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Walter Samuel, Yuto Nagatomo; Fredy Guarin, Esteban Cambiasso, Javier Zanetti; Wesley Sneijder, Ricardo Alvarez, Diego Milito

Inter Bench: Luca Castellazzi, Ivan Cordoba, Giampaolo Pazzini, Angelo Palombo, Joel Obi, Andrea Ranocchia, Mauro Zarate

AC Milan Starting XI: Christian Abbiati; Ignazio Abate, Alessandro Nesta, Mario Yepes, Daniele Bonera; Antonio Nocerino, Mark Van Bommel, Sulley Muntari; Kevin-Prince Boateng; Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robinho

Milan Bench: Marco Amelia, Philippe Mexes, Gennaro Gattuso, Alberto Aquilani, Maxi Lopez, Mattia De Sciglio, Antonio Cassano

It's FA Cup final day for two clubs that are struggling to make an impression in a season that has brought more disappointment than joy. Sure, Chelsea have found their way to the Champions League final, but the fact that they're outside the top four in the Premier League means that Roman's boys are desperate for some silverware. Liverpool have already snagged the Carling Cup, but their struggle against Cardiff at Wembley indicates that Saturday's match is not likely to be smooth sailing.

So how, then, will Liverpool manage to pull off a cup double? For one thing, it almost certainly won't involve Jamie Carragher -- or at least, that's what all Reds fans are praying. Instead, the backline will almost certainly feature Glen Johnson, Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel and Jose Enrique The team will be relying on Luis Suarez to give a weakened Chelsea defence an enormous headache.

The real question is, what happens in midfield? It's there that Liverpool have been at their weakest, having never adequately dealt with the injury to Lucas Leiva. Jay Spearing was horrible against Fulham midweek. Jordan Henderson was removed at halftime -- but Sam at Anfield Asylum thinks that's a positive rather than a negative:

While some took Jordan Henderson's hauling off at halftime as a comment on his performance, I took it as rest for a likely start Saturday. He was the only midfielder to start against both Norwich and Fulham, and it smacked of resting him to me. And Henderson in the middle is better than Henderson out wide. So Gerrard-Henderson-Spearing/Shelvey (who wasn't much better than Spearing on Tuesday) is your middle three.

There you have it, boys and girls. We've got a shaky Chelsea defence and a wobbly Liverpool midfield. That's got to be good for some goals today, right?

We'll have pre-game and live game coverage in our Chelsea vs Liverpool, 2012 FA Cup Story Stream. For more on the two teams, head over to Chelsea blog We Ain't Got No History and Liverpool blogs Anfield Asylum and Liverpool Offside.

The FA Cup final against Chelsea will be Liverpool's second time to Wembley this season (no, I don't count those nonsense semi-finals), and Reds' fans will be hoping things go a bit more smoothly than the last time around. Championship side Cardiff City gave them quite a fright, but Liverpool managed to win the penalty shootout and bring home the Carling Cup, their first trophy in six years.

And now it's time to take on those foolish upstarts, the poshies from London backed by infinite Russian pockets. Liverpool have been having the same sort of season as Chelsea, one that seems to constantly disappoint, but the faithful over at Liverpool Offside are still convinced that there's reason for hope:

With successes few and far between this season, it's nice to look forward to something with positivity, and it's even nicer that Liverpool's results in domestic cup competition can actually provide a fairly strong evidence base for optimism.

Of course, that optimism is tempered by talk that tomorrow poses the only real chance at redemption for Liverpool after such a dismal league campaign, and the sheen of the League Cup win dimmed significantly in the time that's passed.

A realistic view of the FA Cup match: it'd be great to win, but Liverpool still have gaping flaws that need to be addressed before they can tackle the most important tasks -- league titles and Champions League qualification.

As we all know, Chelsea have had a bit of a rough time this season. The Blues are sitting in sixth, needing perfection on their part -- and dismal failure from Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle -- to make it into next season's Champions League. They may have reached the final in this year's tournament, but both injuries and suspensions will likely make the match against Bayern Munich awfully difficult to win.

And so Chelsea focus on the FA Cup, a piece of silverware actually within their reach. According to Graham MacAree at We Ain't Got No History, Roberto Di Matteo won't be trying any new and creative tactics against Liverpool. But even sticking with his favored 4-2-3-1, the Blues' manager will still face a selection headache:

The obvious selection dilemma as far as Chelsea are concerned is the choice between Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres, who's in much better form at the moment than he has been at any other point in his Chelsea career. I'm leaning towards including Drogba, who's better rested and has scored in more important games this season - Valencia, Napoli, Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona have all felt the Ivorian's wrath. I'm happy for Torres, but I'm not putting my faith in him just yet.

Starting Torres seems a bit too risky for the likes of Di Matteo. We're sure to see Nando face his former team, but it will almost certainly be as a substitute.

Of course this would happen. Of course it would. Chris Herd, James Collins, and Fabian Delph were all involved in a brawl at a Birmingham nightclub on Tuesday night, just hours after the players' awards dinner. Perhaps there was some lingering frustration? Did Herd feel he was better than Andreas Weimann, more deserving of Young Player of the Year? Did Collins want the supporters award? Did Delph expect some sort of gong for "Player most likely to be injured by a blade of grass"?

Well. I think I need to go lie down, after that bit of Wednesday night excitement...

AC Milan 2-0 Atalanta

Milan have moved to within a point of Juventus following this win over Atalanta. From the start, they were off and running, and it was only a matter of time before Kevin-Prince Boateng set up Sulley Muntari for the opening goal. But it took the news that Lecce had equalised against Juve to really perk things up. Andrea Consigli beat away a free kick from Zlatan Ibrahimović, but it fell to Robinho, and not even the Brazilian could miss from that distance.

Catania 0-1 Bologna

Sigh. Catania, you had so much potential.

Cesena 0-1 Udinese

Diego Fabbrini kicked things off for Udinese in the fourth minute, but the visitors still did their damnedest to try and drop points. It's not often you see a team competing against an already-relegated club go ahead and try to give the game away, but Udinese did just that when conceding a penalty to Adrian Mutu. But Mutu hit the bar and Udinese walked away with the win, putting them back in joint-third.

Fiorentina 2-2 Novara

Tempers were clearly running high in Florence tonight. Down 2-0 by the 30th minute, Delio Rossi pulled Adem Ljajić in favor of Rubén Olivera, just after he'd sent a header too high. Ljajić gave his coach a mocking thumbs up, and in response, Rossi threw a few punches at the midfielder. Seems normal. But hey, the Viola came back and drew, so maybe this is a spectacular new strategy by Rossi.

Genoa 2-1 Cagliari

It's hard to believe that one of the top scorers in Serie A is on Genoa, but he is, and Rodrigo Palacio bagged another against Cagliari. Genoa were so busy celebrating this possible redemption that they barely noticed when Lorenzo Ariaudo equalised two minutes later. And after those 13 minutes, nothing happened. Except, you know, Genoa winning a match. Give Boško Janković a raise.

Juventus 1-1 Lecce

Head over here for more information about Gigi Buffon's tremendous error.

Parma 3-1 Inter Milan

It may have seemed crazy when, after last weekend's results, Tommaso Ghirardi said that Parma have an outside chance of qualifying for the Europa League. But tonight's win over Inter is their fifth straight. The nerazzurri took the lead into halftime on a stunning goal from Wesley Sneijder, but in the space of three fateful minutes, it all fell apart for the visitors. Fernando Marqués scored off a through-ball from Sebastian Giovinco, and three minutes later, it was Gio himself doing the dirty work, giving Parma the lead. Just for fun, Giovinco set up Jonathan Biabiany late in the match to really make sure that Inter had suffered.

Lazio 1-1 Siena

In yet another battle for third place (are you losing count? I sure am) Lazio actually managed to score against Siena. How did they do it? Oh, yes, Antonio Candreva drew a penalty and Cristian Ledesma converted. Unfortunately for the Champions League chasers, Mattia Destro had already scored a header. That's down to fifth place for the former league leaders.

For 85 minutes, it appeared as though the scudetto had already been awarded. Sure, AC Milan were leading against Atalanta, but Claudio Marchisio had given Juventus the early 1-0 lead over Lecce, so it was only a matter of time. On Sunday, the title would return home to Turin. And then...Andrea Bertolacci stepped in, and Lecce had a new hero in their substitute.

Marchisio's opener was nearly routine for this Juventus side. Of course, Andrea Pirlo was involved, sending in one of his perfect crosses. Marchisio was waiting in the area to head past Massimiliano Benassi, starting off his 200th professional match with a bang.

But then the Juve that had been so strong in the last few matches just seemed to fizzle out. Juan Cuadrado was sent off with a second yellow, but despite having 35 minutes left to play, the Old Lady just couldn't create anything. Alessandro Matri came on for Fabio Quagliarella, Alessandro Del Piero for Mirko Vucinic. Still, nothing.

And then the inconceivable happened. Gigi Buffon, so flawless, the rock of the Juve side, screwed up. Leonardo Bonucci passed the ball back to his keeper, but when Buffon went to return the pass, something went terribly wrong. A heavy touch by Italy's number one left plenty of room for Lecce to pounce, and the ball was rolled into the open goal before Buffon even understood what was happening.

Bertolacci's goal may not have rescued Lecce from relegation -- with Genoa's win, the salentini are four points from safety -- but it may have opened the door to a Milan challenge for the scudetto. Just a point now separates the two teams at the top.

Here's something you don't see every day: a manager throwing punches at one of his own players. But with frustrations high at Fiorentina, it may have only been a matter of time before someone snapped. On Wednesday evening, that someone was Delio Rossi. The manager substituted Adem Ljajić after about thirty minutes of play. The displeased Serb gave a mock thumbs-up to his coach. In return, Ljajić got...this:

Atalanta may have been in fine form recently, but as soon as the whistle blew at the San Siro, it was all AC Milan. You'd almost think the team were, I don't know, playing the game of their lives. Kevin-Prince Boateng and Zlatan Ibrahimovic took it in turns to torment Andrea Consigli, but the Atalanta keeper managed to parry away quite a few shots.

Then the news must have come through that Claudio Marchisio scored in Turin. Determined not to let Juventus run away with the scudetto just yet, KPB sent a cross into the area, where Sulley Muntari was waiting to slot it into the bottom left corner.

The visitors might not have had anything to play for, but they weren't ready to give in that easily. German Denis, Atalanta's top scorer with 16 thus far, tried a header at the other end, but Christian Abbiati scrambled to save before the ball found its way into the net.

The first half of this important match for Juventus didn't start off well. Barely five minutes into the game, Paolo De Ceglie, who fought so hard to win a spot in the defence, went up for a challenge and came down clutching his hamstring. He immediately signaled to the bench, with Martin Caceres coming on in his place.

But it wouldn't be long before Turin -- or at least, the bianconeri side of Turin -- was ecstatic once again. In the eighth minute, Claudio Marchisio put the Old Lady ahead with a header from an Andrea Pirlo cross. An excellent start to his 200th professional match.

Not content to let their fate rest on a 1-0 lead, Juventus immediately surged forward again, with Marchisio very nearly adding another minutes later. One of the best chances fell to Arturo Vidal. Marchisio turned two Lecce defenders inside out before sending the ball forward, where Vidal broke free, controlling the ball beautifully before sending his shot just inches wide.

Lecce might be playing to keep their spot in Serie A, but at the break, it's sure not looking like it.

Bologna 3-2 Genoa

Poor Genoa. They gave it their all, bless. But in the end, they just couldn't find that much needed equaliser. Daniele Portanova kicked off the scoring, heading in a free kick from Alessandro Diamanti. Gaston Ramierez then made it 2-0 before the break, tapping in the ball Sebastien Frey knocked to his feet. Genoa came back after the break with a header by Rodrigo Palacio, but Gyorgy Garics restored Bologna's two-goal advantage less than two minutes later. Substitute Cristóbal Jorquera gave Genoa a second in the 77th minute, but it just wasn't enough to keep the rossoblu from relegation fears.

Atalanta 2-0 Fiorentina

Atalanta beat Fiorentina in the day's only pointless match. Oh, and Cagliari and Chievo Verona drew yesterday, if you're curious.

Inter Milan 2-1 Cesena

The Seahorses took a surprise lead for all of two minutes, through a goal by Luca Ceccarelli. But before the already-relegated Cesena had even finished their celebrations, Joel Obi had equalised for Inter. Mauro Zarate then put the hosts ahead, heading in a lovely cross from Freddy Guarín.

Lecce 1-2 Parma

Sebastian Giovinco. 'Nuff said. Oh, and Gabriel Paletta. Whatever, it means Genoa breathe a bit easier.

Novara 0-4 Juventus

Antonio Conte's men made it clear that the scudetto already has "Juventus" edged on its face, entering halftime with a 2-0 lead and eventually beating Serie B-bound Novara by four goals. I guess you know you're stuck with relegation when you let Marco Borriello score, and Mirko Vucinic bag a brace. Arturo Vidal, though...that's acceptable.

Siena 1-4 AC Milan

Antonio Cassano is back! Yay!!!!!!!!!! Milan might not be landing the title this year, but azzurri fans will sure be glad to see Fatantonio has struck a goal against Siena. And just three minutes later, Zlatan Ibrahahimovic gave Milan another, perhaps to remind everyone that he's still the true star in the rossoneri sky. In the manner of a club realising that second place is the best they'll get, Milan shut off a bit, allowing Erjon Bogdani to grab a goal for Siena. Antonio Nocerino struck late and Ibra got a second, completing the thrashing, but unless Juve falter, Milan are out of the race.

On Saturday night at the Olimpico, Napoli conceded a late-game equaliser to AS Roma, giving both clubs a share of the spoils. That temporarily moves Napoli into third place, but that's a precarious position for the partenopei. Their hopes of Champions League 2012-2013 now hinge not just on the final three matches, but on a late-season showdown between Udinese and Lazio, taking place Sunday night at the Stadio Friuli. Should Lazio win, they'll move three points clear, but if Udi conquer, they'll share third with Napoli. A draw gives Lazio just a one-point cushion. Plus, both sides will be looking to see if already-relegated Cesena can make miracles happen against Inter Milan. If not, Inter will also be level on points with Napoli.

Head spinning yet? Well, let's get on to the specifics of this major match. Lazio might be three points ahead of Udinese, but they're struggling mightily. The biancocelesti have hit a downward skid, losing to relegation-dwelling Novara and drawing with 18th-placed Lecce. A surfeit of injuries have contributed to the madness, with Lazio losing Miroslav Klose, Hernanes, Cristian Brocchi, and more. From where will the pressure, and the goals, come?

Udinese, meanwhile, are dealing with injuries to Mauricio Isla and Andrea Coda, while Francesco Guidolin's favorite substitute, Antonio Floro Flores, is suspended. Since falling out of the Europa League in mid-March, the zebrette have one just one match, at home to Parma, from seven played. Really, it kind of makes you wonder if either of these teams can be bothered with something as mainstream as, you know, winning.

I'm sure there are teams more frustrating to support than Napoli. Genoa, for instance. Novara, that must be pretty hard. But the thing is, those teams don't bring your hopes sky-high only to send them crashing to the ground (at least, not recently). Napoli, on the other hand, were headed for third place with all three points against AS Roma when they conceded a late-game equaliser to Fabio Simplicio. Two more minutes, Napoli. Two more and you could've been sitting comfortably. Instead, the 2-2 draw means there's no way the partenopei will sit solo in third-place by the end of round 35. With a win at Udinese, Lazio could pull away, while an Udi win puts them even with Napoli. You do the math on a draw.

The scoring began just before the halftime whistle, when Marquinho got on the end of a Aleandro Rossi cross to beat Morgan De Sanctis. This sort of thing typically fires up Napoli -- that or the lashing they get from Walter Mazzarri during the interval -- and sure enough, Camilo Zuniga grabbed the equaliser just after the restart. And what a goal, too, a rocket from the edge of the area that easily evaded Bogdan Lobont.

But it's just not a Napoli game until El Matador steps up. The partenopei poured forth, desperate for all three points. It was Edinson Cavani that put them ahead, of course, taking advantage of a listless Simon Kjær to send in a magnificent curling shot.

Once again, though, Napoli were made to pay for the chances they just couldn't convert -- and for a defence that just can't stand up to quality play. Sloppy, so sloppy at times, that Napoli back line...and Fabio Simplicio managed to get behind and evade DeSanctis with an easy little volley. Should the partenopei manage to pull off third in the end, they'll need to prop up that defence if they want to seriously compete in the Champions League next season.

The score may have ended 1-1 in the Derby di Sicilia, but the crown has to go to Catania. The rossazzurri are the kings of Sicily this season, having beaten Palermo 2-0 back in December and currently holding a five-point advantage over their island rivals. Nicola Legrottaglie put Catania ahead on 25 minutes, but Fabrizio Miccoli answered shortly after the restart, leaving divided spoils for the day, if not the season.

You have to think Catania could have taken this match if it weren't for unfortunate injuries. The visitors welcomed back Pablo Barrientos, who was instrumental in the goal, heading on an Alejandro Gomez cross to where Legrottaglie was waiting on the far post. Alas, Barrientos found himself hurting again before the end of the match. Cristian Llama came on in his place, only to have to come off with injury three minutes later. Sergio Almiron also pulled up with injury.

When Gonzalo Bergessio, Gomez and Barrientos are all on the pitch, it's a different Catania, it's a rossazzurri that can genuinely compete. Palermo just don't have that spark this season. Josep Ilicic is inconsistent, Abel Hernandez prone to mistakes, Miccoli aging. The derby may have ended divided, but it doesn't cover the rosanero cracks in the season --Palermo need an off-season refresher to reconquer Sicily.

Paul Lambert managed to keep Norwich City up this season -- while having them play some pretty fun football, too. Now rumours are spinning that he's the man Randy Lerner has in mind to replace Alex McLeish. Just a day after Aston Villa assured (threatened?) supporters that McLeish's spot with the club was safe, nearly every news outlet is carrying the story that Lambert is linked with the claret and blue.
