A Sun - day smile

Today is a little foretaste of summer in more than just the weather: there's nothing happening.

Top story of the day is the fact that Wigan do have something to play for on the final day:

Steve Bruce says Wigan have a huge financial incentive to beat Manchester United and possibly deny Sir Alex Ferguson a 10th Premier League title on Sunday. If Athletic, who lie 13th, beat United and Newcastle United lose at Everton, they would finish 12th, earning them £6.4m in prize money. But should the Latics lose they could finish as low as 15th and pick up only £4.3m - £2.1m less.

And we only have the championship to play for...
I imagine the records of Wigan and Steve Bruce don't make great reading for Chelsea fans:

He is seeking his first Premier League success over Ferguson in 10 attempts, likewise Wigan have played United six times and lost all six

And then there's some transfer rumours (roll on summer...):

Wigan manager Steve Bruce, meanwhile is far from beleaguered, and indeed has no reason whatsoever (honestly) to help out the club with whom he spent nine glittering years of his playing career. Apparently, if they beat United at the weekend it could earn him up to £2m in extra transfer money. That's only £100,000 short of what he spent on Julius Aghahowa. While more cordial relations with his former side could see them fork out a full £8m for Honduran winger Wilson Palacios. Apparently both Bruce and Sir Alex Ferguson have itchy backs and they might just be in the mood to scratch each other. All being well, Ferguson is even prepared to take Antonio Valencia off Bruce's hands in exchange for Louis Saha.

That was an easy round up, now to catch some rays...
