If I knew that in three weeks' time I was going to go into a big period of games, I could probably adjust my training to build up to it. I would get stronger and add in certain elements of fitness compartments to get ready for it. Ultimately, it is your job. You have to do what you have to do. You don't see the NHS workers saying they don't want to go in. You can't say you don't fancy kicking a ball around today.
It's hard to explain. I just had a premonition I was going to do something that night. Everyone on the coach knew it was the biggest game we’d ever played" When an impatient Stam arrived early in the lobby for the trip to the ground, half the squad were already there. Keane noted that, during the coach journey, even the usual jokers, Butt and Giggs, hardly said a word.
We’re confident that Port Vale will win this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites but both teams are playing well at this moment in time and we don’t believe there will be much between the pair at the final whistle.
We are very disappointed by the decision of the Ukrainian FA to hand Taison a one-match ban," world players' union Fifpro said. Sanctioning a victim of racial abuse is beyond comprehension and it plays into the hands of those who promote this kind of disgraceful behaviour. The Ukrainian Association of Football (UAF) confirmed the suspension on Thursday. The UAF also ordered Dynamo to play one game behind closed doors and pay a fine of £16,000.
Away side is still one of the top squad in the Poland, and despite are in the lower part of the playoff teams, they could easy go up in just a few round. They should not be an underdog here, because team won three of four league games against Gornik, and two of those were here in Zabrze.
Bologna scored five goals against Torino last season, against no side did they score more in 2018-19 (W1 D1). Mihajlovic oversaw a 3-2 win here, while they’ve failed to score in just three away trips since that victory in March last year. Bologna have found the net in 89% of their matches this term, while they’ve seen both teams score in five straight away trips.
German club Cologne have had no further Covid-19 infections after three people tested positive last week and training in groups continued as normal. The trio are "symptom-free" but remain in quarantine for 14 days and "no retesting is possible", said the club. The Bundesliga is set to become the first major football league in Europe to return to competition. Officials suggested resuming on 9 May but the government delayed the decision and a restart may now be 16 or 23 May.
Udinese head to this game on a poor run, but they have done well at home in the last few matches. While the home form may be the push they want, they will be up against a strong Inter side that has dominated them in the recent matches and are also doing well away from home. Inter have eight wins in their last 10 meetings with Udinese, who have won once. Inter also have a five-game unbeaten run away from home and being second of the standings, they will be confident enough for this. We are backing Internazionale for a win here.
We’re confident that Porto will win on Friday and we have predicte4d a final scoreline of 1-0. The hosts head into the match as the form favourites, having outperformed their guests in all departments, and with a dominating lead in the head to head record between the two clubs. However, Braga have improved of late and look as if they will challenge for fourth spot and possibly a top-three finish which is why we have only backed a narrow 1-0 win for Porto this Friday.
But I don't care what I look like. As soon as the game kicks off I'm oblivious to everything. You get so wrapped up in the game. I feel I have to be there, close to the pitch. It's my team, my players, my group. I'll never be a suit manager. Strike up the band, sing Abide With Me and bask in the Wembley sunshine. It should have been the FA Cup final this weekend, one of the great days in the English sporting calendar, but like all elite sport at the moment the famous competition is on hold.
Winning just one of their last five league games, Le Mans will view this a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of Ligue 2. They'll know that they stand little chance of progressing, but they will of course be looking forward to the occasion, as will their fans, who're expected to arrive at MMArena in their droves. Le Mans have been away from the top-flight for nearly ten years and are a now a side fighting for survival in the second tier, so for most of their players, a game against the mighty PSG will be a once in a lifetime experience.
The result was Jack Ross' second defeat from his first six games in charge of Hibs, who remain sixth in the league table. Reaction & as it happenedTreble talk banned at Celtic - Christie Celtic best improved HibsLennon had challenged his side to rediscover their attacking verve, which had rather deserted them in recent matches, although results and trophies have continued to go their way. Hibernian, though, had not come to Celtic Park to roll over meekly and showed signs of attacking intent of their own before the home side began to exert a level of dominance.
Annoyingly worthy as it might sound, this team really does deserves the title given their dominance over the competition. Most title-winning sides are not that memorable, but this one with the dynamic football Jurgen Klopp has them playing, having won 26 of their first 27 matches, a front three worthy of comparison with any in English league history and right back Trent Alexander-Arnold playing a revolutionary role as chief playmaker, is one people will always recall and see as a reference point for future great sides.

Lampard is the first English Chelsea boss to achieve a league double over Crystal Palace since Dave Sexton in 1971-72. Chelsea striker Giroud has scored five goals in his past eight Premier League appearances; his previous five goals in the competition were spread across 49 games. Chelsea midfielder Gilmour (62 successful passes) is the first teenager to lead all players for successful passes in each of his first two Premier League starts since Denilson for Arsenal in March 2007.
Southampton have had a season mostly spent at the bottom of the table. They have won their last two games though and another win would see them heading towards mid-table. Their home form isn't to be trusted though with only two wins. Crystal Palace are ninth but lack consistency and a bet on under 2.5 goals (which they are consistent at achieving) is the tip.

I was the only child there who didn't lose a limb," Curtis says. But the only thing that happened to me was I had to wear glasses for a year. They couldn't believe that. His recovery was so comprehensive that he soon began to stand out as an athletic prospect. Born into a family of ardent Birmingham City supporters, he would emulate his St Andrew's heroes on the playing fields of Redditch, where he grew up.
He took the bold move of subbing Eric Dier off just before the half-hour mark and replacing him with unsettled Christian Eriksen who, in the second half, had a very positive effect on the game. And whatever the content of his team talk at half time, it seemed to have an effect as Spurs were a different side after the break and full value for the goals they scored.
Central Coast Mariners have only won twice so far this season and find themselves rooted to the bottom of the table, although they have played a game less than the majority of the season of the league. Their season hasn’t really got started yet and they’ve scored just seven goals in eight games.
You have to stay focused for the whole 90 minutes," the Frenchman said. City coach Pep Guardiola said he did not see the foul because he was caught up in the emotion of seeing his side equalise against the run of play.

In Liga Real Betis receives Espanyol Barcelona. Betis sit 14th and 8 points clear from the relegation zone. After 3 unsuccessful games, Betis must win to get some air and play the rest games calmly. On the other side, for Espanyol, this is one of the last opportunities to stay in the race for maintenance. Advantage to Espanyol, as they are more comfortable on the road than Betis is at home. In the return match, the teams ended up sharing points with each other. When they meet in Seville, we can expect the same result. Betis has a better record in the overall performance of the league and also at home.

Both teams have similar results so far this season, Jong Utrecht is in the 12th place with 19 points while Jong AZ is in the 15th place with 13 points. However, Jong Utrecht has yet to lose a game at home and is always a very strong team when playing on their own turf.
