BETCHA can't wait for the end of season edition of Match of the Day on Sunday, May 11.

Unless, of course, you're a Blues' fan and you don't want to watch your team being terminated from the Premiership by the mighty Blackburn Rovers.

What was it that David Sullivan and co said again about Robbie Savage moving to a 'smaller club'.

'Words' and 'eat' spring to mind there for Messrs Diamond Dave and David Gold.

As for Savage, he's already gone through the trap door with Derby in a bid to keep Blues up. What a selfless geezer.

I digress.

This is the edition of Match of the Day which will wrap-up the entire season.

Yet BBC1 won't start it till 10.20pm on Sunday and it will run on till 11.50pm.

Considering the Premier League is supposed to be the world's best, and we've all paid for the BBC to exist, this late-night start to the week is barmy - no wonder pubs will be full of punters watching the key matches live on Sky Sports.

The Beeb will be keeping back charity money next.

Ooops, somebody already seems to have thought of that one.

So here's a more original idea.

The next time the White City Scrooges stage the Goal of the Month competition (latest results for April due on Sunday) why don't they offer a prize according to the size of the winners' family?

The measly two tickets on offer last weekend would cause a riot in most households.

And I bet the stingy BBC doesn't even have to pay for them to be won.
