Stan Collymore has taken a dig at Manchester City following their elimination from the Champions League by Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola's side lost on penalties to the Spanish giants after their quarter-final tie ended 4-4 on aggregate.

Matches have been so bonkers that it would be impossible to recall where you were when the craziness began to unfold for our viewing pleasure.

Chelsea's 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur had just about everything you could want from a football match. Six goals were blocked out, five goals were scored, two red cards, seven yellow cards, and a team was tasked with nine men and leaving plenty of gaps in behind, with six men on the field and leaving plenty of holes open. It was an end to an epic for the neutrals, and it should rank as one of the most bonkers games in the English top flight.

IAN LADYMAN: Stan Collymore relates about one of his first training sessions after joining Liverpool as an English record transfer in 1995. In his autobiography, Roy Evans made a quip to Robbie Fowler and they began joking about it one morning.' Robbie threwled his head into an armlock and started frizzing his hair.' What would have happened if Gary Neville ever tried that with Alex Ferguson ?

MANCHESTER UNITED 3-2 NOTTINGHAM FOREST - OLIVER HOLT AT OLD TRAFFORD UNITED HARRY HARRY HARRY MANCHESTER UNITED OUTFITTED HAM FOREST TERMED: OLIVER HOLT AT OLD TRAFFORD ENGLAND came to an end this week with a comeback and a sit-in at Old Trafford. And as the fans yelled their displeasure with the Glazer family that controls the club and braced for an hour-long demonstration outside the stadium, they applauded the players. That's how it is at United Kingdom these days: no one knows whether to laugh or cry.

Trevor Francis, the first-ever £1 million player, has died on Friday. His conversion from Birmingham City to Nottingham Forest was historic at the time, as a pre-cursor to the exorbitant sums we see today. So how has the transfer record in Britain evolved down the years and risen to the peaks we see today?

Stan Collymore has questioned Harry Kane's aspirations, claiming that if the Tottenham striker does not attempt to compel a transfer away from the club, he lacks ambition. Daniel Levy has given him an alert, implying that he might be in a similar situation to those high up at Paris Saint-Germain, and that he may be stranded if he leaves the club for a free next season. Kane's transfer case has been raging for the past few years, with news indicating that Bayern Munich is now one of few clubs that might still have a signatory to the England captain but that a £70 million bid was turned down yesterday, an increase on the £56 million bid that was also snubbed last week.

Martin Tyler has become one of modern football commentary's most iconic figures, narrating some of the most exciting moments in a club game. So the news that he was being cut from Sky Sports for cost-cutting reasons brought home how important the 77-year-old has been to football on Saturday. This season was the first time he had missed a Premier League trophy lift in 20 years, bowing out of the Manchester City coverage due to a sore throat. His work has been lauded by fans and fellow media professionals since joining Sky in 1990. In April 2003, he was named Premier League Commentator of The Decade, and he's now retired for two decades.

You may be mildly disappointed in terms of dialogue, but you won't have it all.'

MATT BARLOW: The country ground came to a halt with the train workers and lorry drivers on strike, schools closed, inflation soared, politics collapsing, and football gorged on a gluttony of spending. This was February 1979 and the dog days of Discontent's winter. Nottingham Forest paid Birmingham City £1.18 million for Trevor Francis, less than a month after West Bromwich Albion had been the first to crack the £500,000 barrier. Chelsea's new US owners have returned to action, while football remains immune from the nation's highest cost of living crisis, as train drivers strike, schools close, and inflation rises. Some things don't change.

Kevin Keegan's Newcastle 'Entertainers' knew they were never to win the Premier League trophy.
