Ed Chamberlin blogs on Sir Alex Ferguson and the battle for fourth place

There have been many memorable moments in my presenting career at Sky Sports but I don't think anything will beat the experience of presenting at Old Trafford last Sunday at the farewell to this country's greatest ever manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.

Only twice in Premier League history has the team occupying the final Champions League position going into the final day failed to hold onto their position (Arsenal overtook Tottenham in 2005-06 and Newcastle overtook Liverpool in 1996-97). Arsenal will qualify for next season's Champions League with a win, or if Tottenham fail to beat Sunderland. Arsenal can even finish third and secure automatic entry into next season's group stage if they win and Chelsea lose to Everton, or if they win and Chelsea draw, and Arsenal overtake Chelsea's goal difference in the process. It could all get very complicated! It should definitely be a fascinating afternoon with stories guaranteed in the other eight Premier League matches. I hope you can join us from 3pm on Sky Sports 1HD.

Fascinating

I was pleased and relieved to see Liber Nauticus win the Musidora at York on Wednesday. As my regular reader will know I have pinned my summer hopes on the filly. She wasn't strikingly impressive but Ryan Moore suggested she's the type to only ever do just enough. It was only Liber Nauticus' third start and I'm hopeful there's plenty of improvement to come for Epsom. Finally, it's been a fascinating week at the Giro d'Italia. Just like last year it's a far more exciting route and there's been plenty of drama every day. As feared the terrain has proved too steep for Bradley Wiggins and he's struggled even more on wet descents. Pure courage has kept him in the hunt but I fear he will struggle in the high mountains. It looks as though Vincenzo Nibali will finally get the monkey off his back in a Grand Tour.
