Gary Lineker brings highlights
from the last day of action in
the 2007/08 Premier League Gary Lineker presents highlights from the last day of action in the 2007/08 Barclays Premier League.
All the top-flight teams were playing their 38th and final games in what has been an entertaining season. While other players will be starting to think of the beach, Portsmouth's squad will be looking forward to next week's E.on FA Cup final against Cardiff and Pompey fans got the chance to cheer them on their way at today's home game against Fulham.
Derby, who suffered the earliest relegation in Premier League history, rounded off a miserable campaign at home to Reading. Manchester United were looking for their seventh win in a row against Wigan, and Chelsea hosted Bolton, having not lost to the Trotters in their previous eight meetings.
Liverpool were at Tottenham, while Arsenal travelled to Sunderland. West Ham and Aston Villa met in a battle of the claret and blues while Villa's neighbours, Birmingham, played host to Blackburn. Everton faced Newcastle and Middlesbrough came up against Manchester City.

BBC Two brings highlights from Munich, where the first of the season's three Rowing World Cup regattas is taking place.
Great Britain won the overall trophy for the first time last year, breaking Germany's stranglehold on the 10-year-old event. Team GB went on to enjoy a successful World Championships – also in Munich – and hopes are now high for a decent haul of medals at this summer's Olympics in China.
However, injury and illness blighted the GB selection trials in March and the Munich regatta will be a much-needed opportunity for head coach Jurgen Grobler to assess the progress of his squad.
Garry Herbert and Dan Topolski provide the commentary, with Britain's most successful Olympian, Sir Steve Redgrave, offering his expert analysis.

Steve Cram is in Manchester for
coverage of the Paralympic
World Cup Steve Cram introduces coverage of the Paralympic World Cup from Manchester.
The five-day meeting, which features athletics, swimming, track cycling and wheelchair basketball, is one of the most important on the disability sports calendar and forms a crucial part of the Paralympics build-up with the Beijing Games now just around the corner.
Around 400 athletes from 45 different countries will be competing, including a strong contingent of Britons. David Weir, who won his third consecutive London Marathon in April, will be among those in action on the track, while three-time Paralympic swimming gold medallist Jody Cundy will be looking to continue his successful transition to track cycling.
Britain will have teams in both the men's and the women's wheelchair basketball, with GB's men hoping to improve on the bronze medal that they have won in the previous two years. The top-class international line-up includes South African swimmer Natalie du Toit, who won three events in Manchester last year to bring her total of Paralympic World Cup gold medals to eight. Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, Britain's most successful Paralympian who retired after last year's Paralympic World Cup, will be part of the BBC commentary team.

Don (Jon Hamm) is still worried
about Betty's (January Jones)
mental health Peggy is given a difficult assignment – a "slimming" product for women – but when she tries it out at home later that night it appears to have a different function altogether, as Matt Weiner's hit US drama continues to take an unflinching look at the world of Sixties advertising in New York.
Roger's work problems provide new opportunities for Don, and his own return to the office may turn out to be premature. Meanwhile, Don's new opportunity only adds to Pete's frustration.
Elsewhere, Betty finds a new outlet for her growing dissatisfaction; and Don still worries about her mental health and the money he's been spending on it without, as he sees it, an improvement.
Peggy is played by Elisabeth Moss, Roger by John Slattery, Don by Jon Hamm, Pete by Vincent Kartheiser and Betty by January Jones.
