If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? Pilgrims? No! Football! The month of May is a smorgasbord of football. It’s the month when the majority of top leagues crown their champion and damn the bottom dwellers to relegation, effectively banishing them to the eternal (until next year, possibly) football lake of fire! Easter usually comes a month late when squads are resurrected (promoted) to the top leagues, converting many believers after their witnessing the football-equivalent of a miracle (re: Derby County in 2007). Ok, that’s all a bit dramatic, but you get my point. It’s also the month when the cup competitions are concluded, when the Champions of Europe and the Champions of the UEFA Cup are crowned.
So, in case anyone finds this useful, here are the upcoming May games in Mountain Time. I will hopefully be watching Sunday’s action simultaneously on 2 televisions while watching the live scoring of the relegation battle online. Thankfully, after Sunday the rest of this month’s action happen one game at a time!
