That figure did not include some West Ham supporting policemen, whom Brooking recalls clapping the home goals from otherwise deserted terraces. Uefa's ban included preventing any live TV coverage - just three minutes of action were permitted to be shown on the news. And because so few people were present, there are plenty of claims about what else went on - including that Parkes listened to commentary of the match on a ball boy's radio behind his goal in the second half.
John Fleck's second-half double gave Sheffield United three points to move up to fifth in the table with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Bramall Lane. The Blades now sit just four points behind Chelsea and a Champions League place after the Blues were beaten 1-0 at home by Bournemouth through Dan Gosling's late winner, awarded after a video assistant referee (VAR) check adjudged the ball to have crossed the line.
Rangers claim clubs were not informed of a potential £10m liability and "substantial problems" with league reconstruction before they voted to end the season. The Ibrox club say the information was omitted from the briefing paper sent to clubs prior to the vote and was not approved by the SPFL board. Rangers circulated a dossier to the other 41 clubs on Thursday. The SPFL says there is no evidence to support claims of bullying or coercion.
Inter are having a great season and will head to this clash looking to extend that, though they will be aware of the threat posed by Atalanta. In their last three meetings, Inter have no win, and while they will be right to feel as favorites here, Atalanta will not be an easy side to face. Inter are good both in defence and attack. The same applies to Atalanta but their away run may jeopardize their ambitions for this game. While Inter have six wins in the last nine home matches, Atalanta have one win in five. We believe Atalanta will struggle in this clash, facing the third best attacking side and with the meanest defence in the league. A win for Inter is our pick.

CD Calahorra have not won in their last 6 matches. Though they have not suffered defeat in 5 of them. They are coming from 3 consecutive draws. They are coming off a draw against Real Valladolid B by 1-1 goals. They have drawn 9 of their last 14 matches and I expect them to continue their run of draws.
It is of little secret that Europe’s premier competition is an obsession of both the club and its manager. Real, by contrast, are currently neck-and-neck with old foes Barcelona at the top of Liga. Guardiola will expect to improve on his already impressive record against Real, who are still mid-rebuild under Zinedine Zidane.
In the next two weeks, we have longer periods for training and I'll use them. We need some players back from injury and try our best to improve the team.

Zivkovic joins Chris Wilder's squad on loan from Chinese club Changchun Yatai but the Blades have an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season. People will recognise we do sometimes go left field with our signings, but we've worked very hard on this one, because we have had to," Wilder said.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0James' prediction: 3-0 Leicester v Man UtdUnited don't need a win to make the top four but I think they will get one - they are definitely playing Leicester at the right time.

Angel Correa scored late on as Atletico Madrid stunned Barcelona 3-2 in Saudi Arabia to reach the Spanish Super Cup final. Koke's clinical strike put Atletico ahead early in the second half. Lionel Messi equalised with a driven finish and then Antoine Griezmann headed Barcelona into the lead. Alvaro Morata converted a penalty to make it 2-2 before Correra ran through and grabbed the winner with a powerful strike that was too strong for Neto.
Red Star Waasland-Beveren is having a very good falling point with the recent 3 consecutive victories. Remember, Red Star Waasland-Beveren had previously gone through a series of nine non-winning matches from early October to early December. However, everything seemed to be out of control. Since the victory over Gent in early November, the hosts have had 7 games without winning on the fronts, including 5 matches in the league.
On Tuesday, however, the England women's team collectively made a donation to the NHS, supporting a scheme set up by men's Premier League players. Asked if she had friends in the game who were worried about losing their jobs, England striker Jodie Taylor said: "I don’t think anybody feels safe at this time. Nobody really knows how long this is going to last for. So as much as I believe our league and club here are being as transparent as they can, who knows what the future will bring.
It reinforced the idea of the Premier League as the most compelling competition in the world, which maintained the league's broadcast revenue, which has allowed well-run clubs like Leicester and Wolves to progress through shrewd management and clever recruitment. Liverpool's current untouchable status at the top is largely down to the same factors, and it feels like any post-Big Six era will involve more clubs rather than fewer.
Making his first media appearance since being sacked by the Catalans in January and replaced by Quique Setien, Valverde expressed his admiration for former player Andres Iniesta's decision to move to Japanese side Vissel Kobe when he left Barca in 2018. I applauded Andres when he told me he going to Japan.
This season, Liverpool have moulded themselves into a team capable of grinding out victories even when they don’t necessarily deserve them. This, many say, is the hallmark of a great team, and they continued in that vein in midweek with a 2-0 win at Salzburg to send them through to the Champions League knockout stages.
They play a lot of games in their domestic league and Croatian cup, as they already had more than 20 games in the last 5 years. Throughout their history, both teams managed to get some wins, with this derby being one of the closest ones. In their last 20 matches, Dinamo Zagreb won 10 times while Hajduk Split was celebrating 5 times. Other than that, we saw 5 games ended in a draw. All of that combined tells us that this game has to be a very close one. Currently, Dinamo Zagreb is at the top of the table with 34 points from 14 games played.
STOCKHOLM, Mar 18 (Reuters) - AC Milan's Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has started a GoFundMe campaign to support Italy's fight against the spread of coronavirus.

It’s a shame to see Mane finish in fourth place," Messi, who also won The Best award, told Canal+. But I think there have been a lot of great players this year. That’s why it was difficult to choose a particular player. But I chose Sadio Mane because he’s a player that I like. Video - Klopp – ‘Messi is the best player I’ve ever seen, but Van Dijk should have won the Ballon d’Or’01:11 " Mane achieved a great year that was exceptional for the entire Liverpool team.
There are so many problems he needs to sort out at Arsenal. He is going into a situation where Granit Xhaka has lost the captaincy, there's the Mesut Ozil situation to solve and the way they are so disjointed on the pitch. He will be aware of the way city punished arsenal last weekend. I think they have always felt he is the person but it's a huge expectation that he will carry at that club and he will know in the first few games what that is about.

It came two days after Sheffield Wednesday’s Paolo di Canio had been sent off for Sheffield Wednesday and shoved over referee Paul Alcock. Wright pretended to show Ruddock a red card and the defender shoved him over, with Wright even mimicking Alcock’s fall. Funnily enough Di Canio joined West Ham three months later. Fowler sniffs the lineOne of the more controversial celebrations on this list. Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler had been getting abuse from Everton fans - unfounded taunts of taking drugs - during the Merseyside derby in April 1999.
It can take a while, or it can be quicker. Klopp said there was "no chance" Oxlade-Chamberlain could make Thursday's match at the King Power Stadium (20:00 GMT kick-off). Liverpool then host Wolves on Sunday (16:30) in what will be their ninth game of a packed December. The German also confirmed three other injured players - midfielder Fabinho and defenders Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip - will also not play again this year.

They thumped second placed Leicester City 4-0 to pass a serious statement about their title ambitions and will be looking to mete the same on Wolves. In their last 15 matches, Liverpool have managed just five clean sheets, but it is in attack that they have really excelled.

Stoke's McClean has been a target for refusing to wear a poppy on his shirt on Remembrance Day after he cited the 1972 'Bloody Sunday' massacre, where British soldiers killed unarmed protesters in his hometown of Derry, as the reason for not wearing one.
