A lot of the players at Bristol Rovers have mentioned to me you're potentially caught between a proverbial rock and a hard place, in a moral dilemma of do you go back because financially you need to support your family and pay your mortgage or do you stay at home because you need to protect your family's health and welfare?"Players, especially at League One and League Two level, probably do rely on a paycheque every month - living paycheque to paycheque - and could not absorb missing one, two, three or four paycheques.
Liverpool are a good team, European winners and respect to them. But we have won the Premier League twice in a row. So, in terms of consistency Man City are a better team, we just need to get that last one in Europe now just to show everyone. Guardiola's team won an unprecedented domestic treble last season but Europe remains the final frontier left to conquer.
All we sought was urgently required scrutiny, respect for all member clubs, fairness and transparency," the club said in a statement. Significantly, support for the Hearts, Stranraer and Rangers requisition spanned the four professional divisions. Member clubs, recognising the need for Scottish football to improve its governance and professionalism, have moved beyond sporting rivalries and it would be unwise to regard this result as any kind of endorsement of the SPFL executive.
Huddersfield Town's 43 league games unbeaten between December 2010 and November 2011 - the second best run in English history - was ultimately fruitless. They started and finished the run third in League One, with their 3-0 play-off final defeat by Peterborough United in the middle not counted as a league game.
If it was reverse gear on the pitch, there was a clear plan to accelerate the club forward off it, including proposals for the academy, the club's charitable foundation and the regeneration of LS11. Radrizzani's vision was to return Leeds to a place amongst England's footballing elite within five years. The club have achieved it in their centenary season, with promotion celebrated amidst a pandemic that has seen the passing of club legends Norman Hunter, Trevor Cherry and Jack Charlton mourned.

They are replaced by Watford, who lost 3-0 to Burnley after strikers Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes scored in the second half to secure their team's first away win of the season. Wolves moved up to fifth as Joao Moutinho and Raul Jimenez earned Nuno Espirito Santo's reinvigorated side a 2-1 win at 10-man Bournemouth, who had Simon Francis dismissed 37 minutes into his first league start since Boxing Day for a second booking.
Wednesday. We have significant concerns about the impact the decisions of club owners are having on the wellbeing of our members, many of whom now face long term unemployment. It is entirely unnecessary for club owners to place their players in this situation when there is an alternative option – which is for the sport to work together – as we've seen across other mature and sophisticated sports.
Fifa will also be impressed by Australia's goal of reaching a 50:50 split in registered male and female players by 2027. Are there any drawbacks? Some may feel the long distances between some venues is a disadvantage for the Australia-New Zealand bid, as well as the four-hour time difference between Perth, in Western Australia, and New Zealand. What they said: New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, said on Monday: “This is a historic bid, when you look at the fact it’s the first ever cross-confederation bid between ourselves and Australia.
A game of few clear-cut chances looked set to end goalless until Swansea old boy Pablo Hernandez's low shot rolled in off the post a minute from time. Leeds' return to the top flight could be secured when they host Barnsley on Thursday, if third-placed Brentford lose to Preston North End on Wednesday. The Elland Road club have found form when it really matters, with this triumph meaning they have taken 13 points from their last five games.
Jurgen Klopp. Video - Van Dijk more deserving of Ballon d'Or than Messi00:29 10:00 - Emery under pressure Good morning and welcome to rolling coverage from the world of football news. First up: Unai Emery is edging close to the exit door at Arsenal with the Spaniard coach having reportedly lost the dressing room.
I have nothing left, Erdogan took everything: my right to liberty, freedom of expression and right to work," he told the paper. Sukur scored 51 goals in 112 appearances for Turkey between 1992 and 2007. He was part of the Turkish side that finished third at the 2002 World Cup. The former Blackburn player spent the majority of his career at Galatasaray and is the all-time leading goalscorer in the Super Lig - the Turkish top flight.
Ashdod fc are welcoming Hapoel Beer Sheva fc to play for a friendly match while they are preparing the start of the new season. Their last meeting at this venue came in favor of the visitors which was showing the home team their good performance by scoring four goals and they were costed by their weak defense which have conceded three goals so I think they have maintained that defense so that they are not going to concede too much in this game.
Even if I don't give money I know I can give my time and I can stay with these people and talk a little bit. It's important for me to remember where I'm from. Saint-Maximin started his professional career with St-Etienne'I am not your man Messi'Saint-Maximin has provided three goals and four assists so far in 21 appearances during a maiden season in the Premier League disrupted by injury. With the club 13th in the table, eight points above the relegation zone, the winger is keen to stress his individual stats matter far less than the success of the team.
Oscar is a spectacular player, top level,” said Leganes coach Javier Aguirre. He’s pure talent, he’s got a shot similar to Cristiano Ronaldo. I see him at Real Madrid, along with Martin Odegaard and Kubo the Santiago Bernabeu is going to enjoy it. REAL SOCIEDAD’S MESSI STRATEGY Real Sociedad utilised an interesting technique to defend a Lionel Messi free-kick at Camp Nou.

Heerenveen have only lost one of their last six matches against RKC but the team hasn’t locked horns since 2014. RKC have only lost one of their last four league games and Heerenveen have only lost one of their last five league games, which is why we believe the pair will play out a draw on Sunday.
He is a talented young player, with good defensive and attacking qualities," Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuettl said in a statement https://www.

I did the knee slide celebration because we had spoken about that before the game. We were having a meal and we were like 'we are playing at Hampden tomorrow; imagine if one of us scores? We have got to do a knee slide!'. It was a little bit delayed after scoring so the pictures definitely make it look better than it was.

The hosts have lost back-to-back games 1-0 in Serie A. Those defeats came against Lecce and Hellas Verona, two sides who Cittadella met in Serie B last season. La Viola have struggled for goals of late, which is a major concern if Citta head here looking to frustrate Fiorentina and push to condemn them to another 1-0 loss.

The Solskjaer comparisons are therefore impossible to ignore. Solskjaer may have spent time at Cardiff City and Molde between stints as United’s reserves manager and then interim manager, but here was a man who knew the club and importantly what made the fans at Old Trafford tick. The same can be said for Ljungberg and Arsenal.
They host Copenhagen in the first leg of the last 32 but will be wary of their opponents away form. Basaksehir are top of the Turkish Super Lig and began this season in the Champions League. They didn't last long though, losing both their games to Olympiakos (also in the last 16 of the Champions League).
Marseille have scored two goals in each of their last four matches and we feel this momentum will be enough to carry them past this Angers side. The hosts have solid home form this season but haven't been as convincing in recent weeks at the Raymond Kopa, with rather underwhelming performances coming against far weaker teams than Marseille. They drew 1-1 with Amiens before losing 1-0 to Brest and with both these teams currently in the bottom six, there is room for improvement.
With their new coach in charge, France fielded a young side against England and if repeating their level of performance in the rest of this tournament, then at least a top three place is likely. Their half-back pairing of Romain Natmack and Antoine Dupont ensured that France were in control of the game and how they continue to perform will have a big influence on how the rest of this Six Nations progresses.
A run of four games without a win has knocked Cagliari out of the Champions League places and they will be keen to get back on track against a listless Milan side. Cagliari's last match was a 4-0 defeat to Juventus but the goals didn't come until the second half when an individual error led to a collapse. Until then, Cagliari were holding their own. Provided concentration doesn't slip against the mighty Ibrahimovic, we see them picking up three points on Saturday.
Howard found the ball at his feet in the box and smashed a shot, which hit the underside of the crossbar and appeared to cross the line. Howard: "I caught it too well and it thundered against the underside of the crossbar and bounced over the line and came back out again. If I had mishit it, it would have bobbled into the back of the net. At the time, I did not realise it had gone over the line. I tried getting to the rebound.
Seven of Atletico's 13 visits to England have ended as draws (W2 D7 L4), with Los Colchoneros unbeaten in their last four matches there (W1 D3) since that Liverpool defeat in April 2010. On each of the last two occasions Liverpool have lost away from home in the first leg of a Champions League knockout match, they have progressed to the next round - against Chelsea and Barcelona in the semi-finals in 2006-07 and 2018-19.
We created some good moments to kill the game. But they have a top striker who in one moment can kill us. The VAR goal (. It was a decision, and maybe in some seconds before we should have made better decisions. I have no doubts that I don't have their [players] backing. No-one can say nothing about the attitude of my players. They showed a reaction for the last game. Vardy's hot streak - the statsLeicester scored only their sixth-ever 90th-minute winning goal in a Premier League match - three of which have come since the start of last season (Maguire v Southampton, Morgan v Burnley, Iheanacho today).
Tottenham are a team on the up at the moment, and even before Mourinho’s arrival they were tough to beat at home. They have only lost one home league game this season, and with Chelsea in such poor form we think backing another home win is a great value bet.
Both sides missed chances to win the game but the Burnley faithful were vocally booing several Arsenal players, including Bukayo Saka, who went down after a challenge from Matthew Lowton. Dyche also slammed the Gunners after his side came away from the Emirates with a 2-1 defeat in August, saying the match had made him "worry about the game of football" and has once again claimed that Arsenal indulge in diving.
UEFA hit Man City with stunning two-year Champions League ban UEFA's full statement on Man City's two-year Champions League ban City 'highly likely' to suffer points deduction in Premier League 'Better late than never' - La Liga president revels in City punishment Pep off to Turin? Pep's glorious spell at Barcelona lasted four years, at Bayern Munich he spent just three seasons where he won all but the Champions League.
However in January last year, Vitoria was sacked after Benfica suffered their third league defeat and exited the Champions League at the groups stages. Bringing in Bruno Lage paid off for the Portuguese giants, who won 18 of their following 19 league games, drawing the other, to reclaim the title. But for Fernandes, the opportunities dried up.
They have lost five matches in the last eight and have no clean sheet in the last nine matches. Eintracht Frankfurt have however managed to score in 13 of their last 15 matches. They go to this game on the back of a 2-0 loss at home to Wolfsburg but that is their only loss at home in six matches. They have three wins in their last six home matches and scored two or more goals in five of the six home games, though they have just one clean sheet in the six.
It's disappointing to see clubs and people making individual statements and going their own way, it's important we pull together as an industry. On Friday, Premier League clubs voted to provide £125 million to Football League and National League teams to help with cash flow problems caused by the shutdown.
Colchester, who are languishing in 8th position in League Two, have enjoyed an incredible run in the Carabao Cup this season, and John McGreal's men will be looking for their third Premier League scalp of the campaign this week.
Watford were leading 1-0 when Mariappa was sent off - Hornets captain Troy Deeney reacting quickest to slot home after Tom Heaton had palmed away Abdoulaye Doucoure's shot following a mistake by Ezri Konsa. Deeney doubled the lead from the penalty spot after he was fouled by Douglas Luiz before the impressive Ismaila Sarr added the third from Etienne Capoue's cross. Villa were upset the penalty for Watford's second goal was awarded as defender Matt Targett was down injured, while the visitors were also aggrieved about the third goal as they felt Jack Grealish was fouled by Capoue in the build-up.
And at the hub of it all was the brilliant Belgian De Bruyne, who ripped through Arsenal at will in that first half, scoring twice and making another. De Bruyne's first goal was a masterpiece of technique, a flashing side-footed finish into the top corner, while his third was precisely placed into the bottom corner. He created Sterling's goal with a left-flank run that left the England attacker with the simplest of finishes, and would have scored a supreme hat-trick had Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno not shown great athleticism to fingertip his rising shot onto the woodwork.
The six other matches had been authorised by the government, provided they were played behind closed doors, but Serie A, having initially announced on Thursday that they would go ahead without fans, changed its mind on Saturday and postponed them until May 13. ALL OR NOTHING Some clubs were unhappy at the decision to continue playing in regions unaffected by the coronavirus - such as Rome, Naples and Cagliari -- saying that either all matches should go ahead or none.
IF Vellinge Women and Sjöbo IF Women kicked off friendly matches in preparation for the 2nd Swedish Swedish 2020 Championship with completely different results. Specifically, IF Vellinge Women had a 0-1 defeat on the pitch of Orbo Women. Meanwhile, Sjöbo IF Women had won.
We are lucky I have so many years in the Premier League so I told the players at half time 'even if we are 3-0 in the 85th minute the game will still be open'. But there were also many factors. The emotions of losing the previous manager, people coming back from national teams and fatigue in the last 20 minutes.
Los Blancos will be equally optimistic about landing the spoils this Sunday night having accrued 14 points in their seven away league matches this season, and there will be no better tonic ahead of Wednesday's rearranged El Clasico than getting the better of this in form Valencia side at Mestalla.
The 22-year-old denied rumours that he had broken Real Madrid's own quarantine to travel to Serbia in a statement published by Belgrade's B92 website http://www. Last Thursday head of Real Madrid medical team gave @LukaJovic permission to travel to Serbia (on personal medical prescription) and quarantine at his own home," Jovic said and posted a photo of himself boarding a private jet.
Watford did well in their last game, to come from down and beat Norwich 2-1. The team’s first win since football resumed, catapulted them to four points above the drop zone and they can only look to build on it when the Magpies visit. It ended a run of three straight losses but they are still searching for the first clean sheet, having conceded in all the last six matches.
Instead, the nightmare visited the normally reliable Polish goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski who, after a poor effort to allow Georginio Wijnaldum's early header to creep in, let Mohamed Salah's tame effort squirm through his legs for the equaliser to make it 2-2. Moyes turned away, perhaps sensing the fates were against him in front of the Kop again, and so it proved as Sadio Mane scored the late winner.
