Now in lockdown, the focus has switched to podcasts, quizzes, painting tifos and encouraging fans to work on their terrace chants. The supporter culture here is pretty tight knit," said Hooper. We tried to get organised and prepared for this - we want to put a best foot forward with this fresh new start. Ice hockey team Ottawa Senators, who play in the NHL, are the highest profile sports team in the city but Ottawa could soon witness a new Atletico flavour.
Paper Round's view: Alexis Sanchez might unfortunately be viewed as one of the worst signings in Manchester United's history. He joined in a swap deal which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan head to Arsenal, but he never found his form at Old Trafford. The former-Barcelona forward is reportedly earning £400,000 per week, which is one of the reasons why he is seen as such a flop.
The union, which is mainly funded via Premier League broadcast revenue payments, said that the players were discussing how they could make a contribution during the pandemic crisis. All Premier League players want to, and will, play their part in making significant financial contributions in these unprecedented times," the statement said.
I don't care. My players were able to rest'Klopp said his players returned to training "in good shape" after the Premier League was suspended on 13 March because of the pandemic. He added that some of his key players were able to rest their bodies "for the first time in ages" following a heavy fixtures schedule over the last two years. Some of them were better than last summer after a shorter break," said Klopp.
We were on a good run as well, in my first 16 games for Scotland we won 14 of them. I don't remember any of the players talking about medals or what we were going to do, but we definitely knew we had a good team. Media playback is not supported on this device Scotland boss Ally MacLeod was full of optimism for the 1978 World Cup The place we stayed in was absolutely ridiculous, it was just diabolical.

Sivasspor has a great season being on first place for a couple of rounds. But they could not keep the same tempo and are now sitting on 4th, but still with chances for the first place. They are 4 points behind Trabzonspor with today's match to play. It won't be an easy match, because Antalyaspor played well in the last games, being unbeaten in the last 7 games in first division. Sivasspor had some overs in their last games and for sure will go for attack in this one. We could see both teams scoring here and also overs like in last 2 games away of Sivasspor.
But the visitors showed little sign of weariness from Thursday's draw with Young Boys of Switzerland to get their noses in front after a spell of pressure. Glen Kamara blasted over before Morelos twice forced fingertip saves from Motherwell goalkeeper Mark Gillespie, the second leading to a corner from which Borna Barisic picked out fellow Croat Katic. The defender proved too strong for Bevis Mugabi, shrugging him off to bullet a header home.
It is going to take longer than that. We are building ourselves back up again and hopefully things will gradually get better and better. Aitch on his United heroes: "Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford are my guys, but I would include De Gea on that list too. He has been criticised a bit recently by some people but a lot of our results in the past few years would definitely have been very different if he hadn't been in the team.
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.
There was a charm offensive, a popular management appointment in Brian McDermott and the promise to repurchase the ancestral home of Elland Road. All of it masked the real issue. The cachet of having ousted Bates all disappeared as they left the club branded "potless chancers", saddling Leeds with a debt owed to them, still losing money, and a maverick of an owner in Cellino in their place. Sardinian Cellino, dubbed the 'King of Corn', was almost chased out of town in a taxi before being permitted fit to run the club.
Resume of the season in England Championship. Luton remained undefeated 3 games before the season break, but is still rotting on relegation zone with 6 points behind the safe zone. Preston suffered 3 defeats before the break and slipped to number 6, which is still one for the playoffs. Both need points, I expect a draw here.
Joelinton scored only his second Premier League goal and first since 25 August as Newcastle swept aside 10-man Sheffield United to take a huge step towards safety. The relief on the Brazilian striker's face was apparent when he tapped in the Magpies' third, and although there were no fans inside St James' Park to celebrate with, no doubt many were screaming with delight as the £40m striker ended his torrid run.
It’s a tough draw, but a good draw. We knew that when we get through the group stages, you’re generally in with some big teams and we have certainly drawn one. We have history with them, of course, but these will be games in themselves that will be very testing. We will be ready for the challenge.

Chelsea v SouthamptonSouthampton were very impressive in their win at relegation rivals Aston Villa, but so was Chelsea's performance to beat Tottenham. It was a huge win for Blues boss Frank Lampard for all sorts of reasons, not least because they had lost four of their previous five league games. Chelsea's problem this season has been consistency and Southampton will make things difficult for them but, after beating Spurs, I don't think they will follow that up by dropping points here.
The hosts took a 2-0 first half lead through Jan Bednarek and Shane Long, only for Wolves to respond early in the second as Pedro Neto scored from a drilled cross from Adama Traore. Wolves were soon awarded a penalty after the video assistant referee (VAR) overturned on-field referee Darren England's initial decision not to give a foul on Jonny inside the box.
Southend are heading for League 2, there can be no denying that, but they're certainly showing some fight. Frankly, if they're looking for a better opportunity to treat the Roots Hall crowd to a win, then it's not going to come. The recent goal-scoring exploits of the hosts bode well ahead of a match against a Tranmere side that has struggled massively on the road. While Southend are unbeaten in their last two at home, scoring four goals in the process and posting an encouraging 28 shots, ten of which hit the target, Tranmere have lost each of their last three on the road and have looked relatively weak in doing so.
Chelmsford is in great form at this moment after not such a bright start in the league this season they are really closing in on the play-off places for promotion right now for example in their last 10 games played by them cup games included as well they won 7 of those games and drew 2 of those games as well just one defeat for them, and of course results have been better at home.
Armenia is right now on first place in the league and in my opinion they will surely promote to Bundesliga at the end of this season and right now I do not see how Osnabruck is going to stop them from getting another 3 points tomorrow,Osnabruck is much closer to the relegation zone then to the middle so they will most probably try to defend and get the draw tomorrow but their defense is not so good so I expect from Armenia to score at least two goals and to secure win with 2-0 or maybe even 3-0 for Bielefeld
Mazzarri, who took charge at Torino in January 2018, leaves with the club 12th in the Serie A standings after a series of heavy losses, including a 7-0 thrashing at home by Atalanta last month. President Urbano Cairo and coach Walter Mazzarri, after a thorough analysis of the current situation, have decided to end their professional relationship," the club said in a statement http://torinofc.
But City failed to turn their superior possession into further goals and were surprisingly pegged back by a superb Tom Pope header from a pinpoint David Amoo cross. That sparked wild celebrations from more than 8,000 Vale fans who packed the top tiers of the south stand at Etihad Stadium, but their side were level for only seven minutes. City kept pouring forward and Foden set up Sergio Aguero to fire home at the near post, with Legge again getting the final touch.

It would not even be a shock if they took all three points against the second-best United as things stand. Man City must-win? It’s another case of an inconveniently tricky match as defending champions Manchester City host Chelsea two weeks after their defeat at Liverpool. Chelsea are currently flying high under Frank Lampard and defying expectations, meaning Saturday evening’s tie will feel like somewhat of a free shot against City, who find themselves fourth behind the Blues and Leicester in their bid to track down Liverpool.
The home team Paderborn will be meeting today with koln and this game we have seen it that this two teams are very used of scoring many goals as per looking at the last meeting they have being together and so this has and us to give me this game an over of 1.5 total goals in this game

The visitors make this trip after moving into the top seven, with a real chance of making it into Europe this season. A seventh-place finish could be enough for the side who returned to Serie A in 2018. After years away from the top, Parma head into 2020 aiming to make a return to the European stage.
Hannover finally show the quality with victory on side against Osnabruck 4:2. They should go up for the eventually fight to reach out to the playoff in the next part. They still have big spread to cover, but with the winning row, it is not impossible to get closer to the first rivals like Darmstadt, Heidenheim and Holstein.
No-one outside of Leeds gave us a chance against United but the weird thing was we had absolutely no fear going into that game, even though we had not even got past non-league Kettering in round two when the draw was made. We came within 12 minutes of what would have been a humiliating defeat before I scored a late equaliser in the first game, and even needed extra time to get past them at Elland Road in the replay.

They can finish no higher than eighth after a disappointing performance by Mikel Arteta's side, Eddie Nketiah going closest to equalising with a header which hit the post. However, the Gunners will still have a big say in the relegation battle when they host Watford on Sunday. During the match, a banner reading "Back Arteta Kroenke Out' was towed by an aeroplane over Villa Park in reference to Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke.
I think it took a few gin and tonics and Zoom calls to organise," Timms jokes. But it's amazing to know how big a net we have with visible LGBT people and allies. That shows where we're getting to in football. As Timms knows, it has not always been that way. LGBT Sport podcast: The One on Football Pride As a gay football fan in the 1970s, Darryl Telles remembers how different things used to be. I was at a Nottingham Forest game when fans were homophobically singing about Brian Clough and Peter Taylor having an affair," he says.
