And players' names were replaced on the backs of shirts by 'Black Lives Matter' for the opening 12 games. Given that, Masters was asked about the Premier League's stance on similar protests and campaigns in future. He said the organisation had backed a centralised effort because of the "unique set of circumstances". I don't think it sets any particular precedent," he added. I think it is perfectly possible to support Black Lives Matter the sentiment without being seen to support any political organisation.
Liverpool continue their march towards winning their first Premier League title. They are doing so in a dominant way that has rarely been seen in English football. Every stat for Liverpool is an impressive one, especially at the moment in terms of defending. They take on an inconsistent Manchester United side who are 27 points behind them in the league. United have only earned 12 points from 11 away games and already lost five on the road. Go for a Liverpool home win here.</p><p>
And still, I’ll take a chance. The second day has already gone, as I am tormented by the question of betting on this game. And although I am not a big fan of Thunder, I still have to admit that it is visible here. And it is alarming that he (TU) is being viewed, wherever you look. And as you know, more often than not, what seems most real fails. Okay, I’ll start my thoughts and statistics: Both teams, in my opinion, have approximately equal chances. The game naturally takes place in the hometown for both clubs, and therefore talking about the favorite referring to the home game is not entirely true. The hosts, after leaving the elite, lost a number of important players, which evens out the teams evenly. Between themselves, the teams played 2 times and both times ended with the score-0-0. The first games in the championship and “Gomel”, and “Locomotive”, played with zero in the graph, conceded goals. That is, both teams devote great attention to defending their goal. So, if we exclude probability theory and “luck”, and refer to my opinion and statistics, then for me the conclusion is this for this match - TO (2.5)
Josh Kroenke gives "sincere thanks" Club owner Josh Kroenke said in a statement this morning that the board and owners gave their most "sincere thanks to Unai and his colleagues who were unrelenting in their efforts to get the club back to comepeting at the level we all expect and demand. Arsenal announce the sacking of Unai Emery The #EmeryOut contingent will no doubt be pleased to hear that Arsenal's head coach of 18 months has been given the elbow, this morning.
Red Bull Leipzig have enjoyed a good Champions League campaign this year with just a 2-0 loss to Lyon in matchweek two being the only blemish. They've won their other three games and are on the brink of qualification with just a point needed in this game to assure them a place in the round of 16.
We had to get the nine first and thankfully that's been accomplished now. We can go for 10 now, because I know that's been on the tip of a lot of our supporters' tongues. The supporters are talking about 10, and we can now go for the 10. Celtic champions & Hearts relegatedHow does the final Premiership table look?Podcast: John Hartson on Celtic's title winLennon's men have matched the nine-in-a-row achievement of Jock Stein's Celtic in the 1960s and 70s and Rangers' run from 1989-97.
This was his time as he lived every second and Goodison Park lived it with him. It was a spectacular, thunderous afternoon as the old stadium rattled to the rafters and Ferguson reconnected Everton's team with a fanbase that had been losing hope with every passing week. Ferguson choked up on occasions on Friday as he described the emotion of being asked to manage the club - and his pride was just as unmistakeable after overseeing a 3-1 win over Chelsea with a side performing in his own image.
AS Roma boosted their hopes of qualifying from Group J by winning 3-0 at Istanbul Basaksehir with first-half goals from Jordan Veretout, Justin Kluivert and Eden Dzeko, while Borussia Moenchendgladbach went top with a 1-0 win at Wolfsberger AC. In Group G, Porto grabbed a lifeline with a 2-1 away win over Swiss side Young Boys to put themselves back in contention, while Scottish side Rangers moved into first place on eight points with a gritty 2-2 draw at Feyenoord.
Four officers were shot and injured on Monday night during unrest in St Louis, Missouri. Onuoha added that the gun laws in the USA added to his sense of unease. He said: "I have loved living in this country but there is [another] side of it. In the UK, I am more comfortable because if something happens it probably will not be deadly - but over here because of their rights it is more common that altercations become deadly.
FRIDAY'S STORIES TOP HEADLINES Aubameyang set for Arsenal exit - Paper Round 'Mesut Ozil should be annoyed' - Freddie Ljungberg Why Arsenal v Man City was not shown in China after Ozil comments Solskajer admits Greenwood on verge of claiming Manchester United starting berth 08:30 - Champions League draw on its way Good morning and welcome to another week of football, which features the small matter of a Clasico on Wednesday, updates on Arsenal's manager situation, and a blockbuster Premier League clash between Chelsea and Tottenham, of course now managed by the former Blues boss Jose Mourinho.
Elche fc will go head to head with Extremadura fc in the Spain La liga 2, the home team successfully triumph against the visitors when they have played their last game of head to head. The hosts have won five games played at home, drawn four and lost three games, they have won their last away game 3-2 scoreline away to Rayo Vallecano, and win two nil at home against Numancia fc. The visitors have four away games since a win, they last visited Huesca where they have lost with two goals to one so they are not good at away games so my favorite is home win.
Excelsior beat Dordrecht 3-2 in the pairs’ reverse league fixture back in October and have won 12 of their last 29 matches against Friday’s hosts. Dordrecht sit rock bottom of the Eerste Divisie table on 11 points and boast the divisions’ worst goal difference of -26, while Excelsior’s goal difference is +5 and a win for the visitors on Friday could see them move into the top five.
Frankfurt have conceded at least three goals in their last five Bundesliga matches. Wolfsburg have won four of their last six matches against Frankfurt. Frankfurt have conceded at least four goals in their last three away Bundesliga matches. Wolfsburg have won two of their last three Bundesliga matches.
Seoul will host Jeonbuk Motors for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors are favorites in this game. However, the hosts have the potential to provide a strong resistance. In any case, I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. Jeonbuk are currently on the 2nd place with 9 points. However, in previous game Jeonbuk lost 1-0 against Gangwon. Also, Seoul are currently on the 7th place with 6 points. In last game Seoul lost 0-1 against Seongnam. In any case, both teams want to win. I think, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch.

In fact, Gerrard's final lasting contribution to that campaign would have been the kiss he planted on that TV camera after scoring two penalties in a famous 3-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford. And then there are the great escapology acts that take place when the heat is really on. Using the unweighted points-per-game-played system adopted by League Two and the Scottish Premiership following the decision to end their seasons, we can get a sense of which clubs could have gone down had previous campaigns been curtailed.
Last season these two sides which are mainly fighting for avoiding relegation once more this term met 3 times in the league and once in the cup, and all 4 games ended with under 2.5 goals even more 3 of them ended just 1-0 in the end with Skala winning once with 2-0 and once with 1-0 on the road both times, also a 1-0 win at home for them and a 1-0 loss at this stadium as well, so low scoring games, just that Skala is in a different scoring mood at this moment.
Wright: "He scored one of the best goals I've seen in the Premier League. People talk about Paolo di Canio's but that Suarez one against Newcastle was unbelievable - [controlling] a 60-yard pass, on his shoulder. He left a Liverpool side that should have won the league to go to Barcelona when they were amazing - and made them better. He's amazing.

They have a stronger squad for this tour but have injury and illness problems ahead of this first test match. Ben Stokes had to miss some training sessions due to his father being ill but thankfully he is showing signs of improvement. England may be without Ollie Pope, Chris Woakes and Jack Leach who have been ill.

Record numbers of football players are expected to make claims for unpaid wages by the end of the 2020-21 season. On 15 June, world governing body Fifa said it had received 441 applications totalling millions of dollars for financial help from players after clubs had failed to honour their obligations. Within 24 hours, Fifa and world players' union Fifpro had received more than 100 more claims. No claims received so far relate to the coronavirus pandemic.
Everton have also been rejected by Vitor Pereira. Paper Round’s view: Everton pulled the trigger on Marco Silva without having a replacement lined up. Given they are not in danger of relegation it seems a foolhardy move to take, but Everton do not appear to be a club that can stick to long-term plans.

I came back and I played better than before, proving to everyone that the young players who have made a mistake must be helped, not judged and destroyed. Under their previous manager, Romania Under-21s beat an England team containing James Maddison, Mason Mount, Phil Foden, Tammy Abraham and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in 2019 on their way to their first European Championship semi-final at that level. Among Mutu's charges, if he isn't required by the Romania senior team, is recent Rangers signing Ianis Hagi, son of the legendary Barcelona and Real Madrid playmaker Gheorghe.

Goal report that the Croatian is keen on taking over from interim boss Freddie Ljungberg at the Emirates, having been sacked by Bayern in November. Kovac was also spotted at Goodison Park for Everton’s win over Chelsea on Saturday, sparking speculation he could succeed Marco Silva on Merseyside. It is believed Arsenal are set to undergo a thorough interview process involving several high-ranking club officials as they search for their new manager, with Marcelino, Patrick Vieira and Mikel Arteta all having been linked with the role.
Palace had put together four straight Premier League wins but this was a harrowing night, not helped by losing Zaha, their most dangerous player, early on to an injury he appeared to pick up in the warm-up. For all the good work Palace have done this term, they simply had no answer to Liverpool as they were ripped apart at regular intervals. Taken in full context, this has still been a fine season for Palace, as they reside comfortably in the top 10.
That will surely only come about by strengthening the side and there is no doubt how Messi feels that can best be done. How influential is he in the dressing room?Messi's recent spat with director of football Eric Abidal, who implied it was the players' lack of effort that got previous manager Valverde the sack, is proof positive of the new, confident Messi. He was swift to go public and issued a statement to tell Abidal that everyone should take responsibility for their own jobs, be they players or administrators.

Balague: "Barcelona are preparing to convince Neymar, he is the big target in the summer and the message they are getting from the Neymar entourage is, 'yes, try it, we would be happy to accept that'. Just because he has never been happier in Paris, doesn't mean he is really, really happy. Barcelona are counting on a 180m euros price tag, which is something they reckon they can afford. Julien: "Neymar will have two years left on his contract this summer, so interesting to see what position PSG adopt.

The start to the season was disastrous for New Zealand’s representatives in the A-League, conceding eight in the opening four games and looking like they might be cut adrift at the foot of the table. They’ve been able to find a little bit of form though and look a lot more competitive across the pitch.
FIFA confirmed at the time that Ahmad, a former cabinet minister in his native Madagascar, was being investigated by its ethics committee although he was not suspended. Ahmad was also briefly detained and questioned by French authorities in June as part of a corruption investigation. Fatma Samoura, FIFA's secretary general, had been made “general delegate for Africa” as part of the intervention but her mandate has now ended.
It is significant that after the 3-2 defeat by Norwich on 14 September, Guardiola's two most experienced central defenders, Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones, did not start another Premier League game together until July. Both stayed on the bench throughout the rematch with Norwich, when 19-year-old Eric Garcia started, before being replaced by Fernandinho at half-time. It is a prerequisite for Guardiola that his defenders are able to take passes in tight situations and trigger attacks.
