When he missed a golden chance in the first half against Sheffield United it seemed like it would be another bad day at the office, but his perseverance paid off when he turned home Miguel Almiron's cross in the 78th minute. Newcastle manager Steve Bruce said: "He probably suffered more in the lockdown, he had no family over and he was stuck in an apartment somewhere. It's been difficult, but I'm delighted for him because he's a really good pro and he can only get better.
The 47-year-old was visibly emotional at the prospect of managing Everton, even for one game. He was suited and booted - determined to relish every second. In some respects the Scot was last man standing because he has been on the coaching staff under Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce and Marco Silva. This was his time and he certainly left a lasting impression with his fierce intensity, touchline demands and wild goal celebrations.
And I don't think that necessarily means on May 1 we will be. UFC heading to 'private island' Well this is something. UFC President Dana White has said the mixed martial arts promotion is close to securing a "private island" to stage bouts for international fighters during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organisation, which was forced to postpone three events, will resume its calendar with UFC 249 on April 18 and White said he had also found a new venue for that event after the Barclays Center in New York was ruled out.
On Robson’s recommendation, Van Gaal took on Jose Mourinho - who had become far more than a translator - to be his “third assistant”. In his midfield, he had Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique.

RETRO CORNER On this day in 1994, which we’re thoroughly alarmed to report is 25 years ago, Matt le Tissier scored this absolute woof of a goal against Blackburn, which was obviously the 94/95 goal of the season. COMING UP The Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaampions. It’s a belting night of action in Europe, and a word to the wise: if you’re in a household where you have to be careful about using up your credits to watch football, make sure you use yours this evening, because that’s when all the good stuff is: Wednesday’s games are largely dreck.
Given how Celtic performed in the group stage - beating Serie A title challengers Lazio home and away - and Copenhagen's poor domestic form, this was widely viewed as a great chance to progress. Had they kept a clean sheet, Celtic would have been in Friday's last-16 draw along with Rangers, and Lennon acknowledged how big an opportunity his side had spurned. We've had a good Europa League run but we let it go," he added.
The Belgium forward injured his right ankle in last week's 2-2 draw at home to Paris St Germain following a clash with international team mate Thomas Meunier, although the club initially said he had suffered bruising.

BURNLEY, England, April 9 (Reuters) - Alastair Campbell, the former press chief of ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair, says criticism of footballers has been unfair during the coronavirus pandemic, but the game's leaders needed to chart a better way of handling the crisis. As well as being a recognised leader in communication strategy, Campbell is a huge football fan and a life-long follower of Premier League club Burnley.
Arteta restored Mesut Ozil to the starting line-up and the German forward looked sharp in the opening exchanges, but despite Arteta energetically encouraging his team from the sidelines, they failed to create many chances. Arsenal's sloppiness was punished when they gave the ball away cheaply on the left wing and Bournemouth sliced through them quickly, midfielder Dan Gosling stabbing home Jack Stacey's centre from close range to give the home side the lead.
This match is probably the safest for goals from all duels in Portugal U23 league today and if we know that first two matches in this league, from 12:00 where not too efficient, than it is clear that this one probably will be better, from that side. So, Portimonense U23 is team who is in last two matches played both times with three or more goals, 2-1 and 4-0, while on the other side, Vitoria Setubal U23 is in last three matches played 1-3, 3-0 and 4-0. Yes, after this results, over is more than ok for me and I will try.
Women's sport in general has gained positive momentum and visibility for us does matter. But now we're going to go a whole summer of just watching men's sport again. Chelsea were named WSL champions on a points-per-game basis after the season was ended last month, while discussions continue on whether to resume the women's FA Cup, which reached the quarter-final stage before elite football was suspended in England in March.

Probably this odds will be smaller tonight or tomorrow and I will take that earlier, what is for me very real and ok to try. So, Junior Sevan is team who was very efficient in last period and they are in last three matches played every time with three or more goals, and in that period, it was 1-2, 5-0 and 4-4. On the other side, 2-0, 2-1 and 7-2 are guests played in last three matches. It is clear that in this moment, both od this rivals are playing efficient, so I will try the same and here. It is real.
Maritimo have lost half of their away trips this season, including each of their last two.

Lawro's prediction: 2-1Serge's prediction: 1-1 Newcastle v Crystal PalaceNewcastle lost at Burnley last week but their home form remains a real strength - they have only lost one league game at St James' Park all season. Palace have been a fixture in the top half of the table for pretty much the whole season - in order to stay there, I think it is important that Wilfried Zaha does not leave in January, but that might turn into one of the sagas of the transfer window.

Food vans will lose their weekly sales, as will those selling merchandise.

Has being son of the 'King' proved a heavy burden?"I'm proud of who my dad is, but I feel I've always stood on my own two feet," he explains. When you are Kenny Dalglish's son, the level of expectation is the greatest player who has ever come out of Scotland. That is more an issue for other people than it ever was for me. I played in the Premier League in Scotland and England, I played for Scotland at Under-21 level.

Almeria have been unbeaten in seven games, but won only one game and managed to remain in third place despite their many draws (1-6-0) before the international break. The home record of the team is ok with 4-2-1 (last 2-2-0) and that's why Almeria is here for me. But: However, Numancia also earned a good 3-2-0 series before the LS break, which put the team in fifth place in the league table and so they are in the middle and separated by only one point in the promotion fight, a soil that is literally after one There is a draw, especially as Numancia made a last-minute 1-5-0 run.
The Hornets had one half-decent spell in the game - the opening 10 minutes of the second half when Troy Deeney shot over the bar. The odd time they got in behind the Saints back four, their final ball was wrong. The usually reliable Foster, making his 100th consecutive Premier League appearance, was totally at fault for the second - as his throw out went straight to in-form Ings.

Club Brugge dropped to the Europa League after a poor run in the Champions League, where they managed just three points and no win in the six matches in a group that had Real Madrid and PSG. They conceded a massive 12 goals, and scored four, which was not unexpected in such a group. The Belgian giants are not known to be a big force in Europe; in their last 12 Europa League matches, they have just two wins, and three clean sheets in 14 matches in the competition.
Only three ever-present sides have taken fewer points in that time, while under-fire managers Marco Silva and Unai Emery have both taken at least 10 points more. Spurs last lost more games in a calendar year in 2008, when they suffered 19 defeats during spells under Juande Ramos and Harry Redknapp. Redknapp and Waddle on Pochettino sackingAt the heart of it all has been a dismal away record - their last away league win came in January when they scraped an injury-time victory against a Fulham side destined for relegation.
Good news is that before the end of the month we have two new players, Hugo Lloris and Ben Davies. This is good news," he said of the imminent return of keeper Lloris, who has been injured since Mourinho took over, and left back Davies who has made only one appearance in that period. I don't want to speak about Harry because if I speak too much I get depressed, and then you say I'm miserable and in a bad mood.

Everyone hates you, for some reason, that's part of being an England player," he said.

I know what I am capable of and I know what I am good at.

The Colts at least have a better record than their opponents but will be thinking of times earlier in the season when they did have a chance of getting a wild card place.
