It is the song contest tomorrow night, but for many leagues across the continent it is the fight for European places that remains active with so many titles done.
Premier League
One title still to be decided is the English top flight. Manchester City start the weekends action with a trip to the Cottage to face Fulham at 1230 tomorrow. A City win puts them top with 2 games left for the top 2. It would also be the final nail in the Liverpool challenges coffin.
Arsenal go to Manchester United on Sunday at 4:30, a game which also has great importance to the European places fight. After their humiliation at Selhurst Park, United find themselves 8th and outside the places.
Spurs aren't completely safe, but a home tie with relegation threatened Burnley is a chance to get to 63 which should be enough. In 6th are Newcastle, 4 points off Spurs and with a game against Brighton tomorrow. Chelsea in 7th and a further 2 points behind, go to Nottingham Forest.
Down the bottom and it is must win for Burnley, and Luton will also be all but down with defeat. A Forest win means their goal difference should be enough for safety no matter what.
Liverpool play Aston Villa on Monday, by when both may know their final position - or it could become a big(ish) game if results go their way at the weekend.
A lot of big midweek games too - none least Spurs vs Man City plus Man Utd and Newcastle meeting.
Championship
Sunday sees both first legs of the play-off semi finals. Norwich host Leeds at midday while Southampton go to West Brom for a 2:15 kick off.
League 2
Second legs tonight and tomorrow. Doncaster host Crewe with a 2-0 advantage. MK Dons are 3 down as they welcome Crawley to Stadium MK.
Premier League 2
It is the knockout stage for the U21s. Arsenal host Chelsea on Saturday, with Reading playing Nottingham Forest the same day. On Sunday evening Spurs and Liverpool face off. Sunderland and West Ham complete the round on Monday night. Winners of Arsenal and Spurs games meet in semi, with the winners of the other 2 games also playing each other.
FA Youth Cup Final
Manchester City and Leeds United meet in the final tonight at 7pm.
Ligue 1
Monaco have a CL place all but sewn up, so it is between Brest and Lille for the 3rd one. Brest host Reims tonight, while Lille go to Nantes on Sunday.
Lorient and Clermont will be relegated if they lose to Marseille and Lyon respectively. Lyon are just 2 points off Europe after starting the season looking like relegation candidates.
Bundesliga
With the title and top 5 long done, it is just the minor European places up for grabs. Relegation will be confirmed for Koln if they fail to beat Union Berlin or Mainz beat Dortmund - a Koln win brings Union Berlin into the fight.
Serie A
One of the biggest games of the weekend in Sunday night between Atalanta and Roma. They are tie on 60 points in the fight for the Italian 5th CL place, although Atalanta have a game in hand. Head to Head is the decisive factor if teams are level in Serie A, and they drew 1-1 in Rome. Atalanta could get CL even if they finish outside the top 5 after getting to the Europa final.
There is still a fight for survival at the bottom, with Sassuolo, Udinese, Empoli, Frosinone, Cagliari and Verona still needing points with 2 places to avoid.
La Liga
There doesn't seem much jeopardy in Spain, with all teams looking pretty secure where they are. Could change this weekend...
Primeira Liga
Sporting champions, Benfica CLQ. Porto still have work to do to secure Europa group stage with Braga challenging.
Scottish Premiership
First up is the Promotion/Relegation play-off between Partick and Airdrie - with the first leg ending 2-2.
Then tomorrow there is the massive Old Firm derby at 12:30. Seems only a month ago these two were playing in a title decider - a 3-3 draw. Celtic hold a 3 point lead going in tomorrows home tie.
Bundesliga 2
Hamburgs hopes of a Promotion play-off match look dead, as they are currently 1 down at half time and 4 points off 3rd.
There is other football available, other sporting events, a sing song contest with Israel causing controversy, and some sunny weather if none of the above takes your fancy. Enjoy whatever you are doing, and if you have a bet, good luck!

Our representative in Eurovision is an embarrassment.

Everyone and everything associated with that waste of time competition is an embarrassment.
What I find scary is that so many people enjoy it.

I assumed you're something ending in an "ish" or "sh".
