Arsenal's Champions League hopes are already looking poor as the Premier League resumes. They take on Southampton, Norwich and Brighton in their next three league games and need to get at least two wins from those matches. They host Southampton who are in deep relegation trouble and their boss might not make it to the Christmas party. The Saints keep conceding goals and recent away form is poor. Go for a home win in this match.
That triggered a Wales fan to create the flag which Bale and his team-mates were pictured alongside as they celebrated sealing their place at Euro 2020. Bale played in the crucial wins over Azerbaijan and Hungary despite not featuring for his club since the October international break because of injury, prompting further questions over his commitment to Real's cause. Bale said the timing of his return to action was a coincidence - but admitted prior to the Azerbaijan game he felt "more excitement" playing for Wales than he does when on club duty.
The evident problem is that Sullivan and Gold, present for the game against Southampton along with Brady, have no intention of going anywhere. And trust, it seems, is in short supply on both sides of the argument. The owners not only feel they are being given little credit for record investment on the playing side, they also feel sore at their treatment given the club was massively in debt when they took control 10 years ago.
Their 1998 Champions League triumph was the first time they had won Europe's top prize, which they have lifted a record 13 times, in 32 years. My father has just passed away. He didn't deserve it to end this way. One of the most brave and hard working people who I have known in my life has left us," Lorenzo Sanz Jr.
United eased past Derby County 3-0 in the FA Cup fifth round on Thursday, but City have had an extra day to prepare for their Premier League trip to Old Trafford after beating Sheffield Wednesday a day earlier. It's that help we get from the FA again, that extra 24 hours that they've (City) had. I cannot believe why there's a derby on Sunday and we've got to play Thursday night," Solskjaer told a news conference.
The recent poor performance is causing Brentford's position in the promotion play-off group to be shaken violently. Specifically, Brentford is still ranked 4th on the table with 55 points after 33 rounds, but the gap between Brentford and the team chasing outside the top 6 has been narrowed to only 2 points. In the next round, Brentford will have a confrontation with Blackburn, a team also in the group chasing right behind with 8th place and 50 points after 33 rounds. This is a good opportunity for Brentford to consolidate its position in the top 6. I choose Brentford - 1 AH
Their treatment of Ernesto Valverde has been a complete and utter disgrace. Briefing against their incumbent manager that they are set to appoint a former legend who has utterly zero experience at the highest level of football coaching illustrates just how out of their depth the Barca board are. Valverde has his faults.
I kept going at Tarnat but kept losing the ball. To be honest, I was s**t that night. Teddy Sheringham celebrates his goalGetty Images Giggs, Butt and Neville were among those who thought the game was up. I kept looking up at the clock,” said Neville in his Times column. It was ticking down towards the end of the second half and I just thought that the Germans had gone and done us again.

Under minimal pressure, Kyle Bartley waved his hand at the ball. Perhaps he was trying to scare it away. It didn’t work. Instead it hit his hand, and the referee was watching, and then came the penalty. For a minute, it all looked like it was going to go Full Championship. But back came the Baggies. Matheus Pereira levelled things up, and then shortly after half-time Bartley redeemed himself with a looping header.
Brest are a pretty good team to face at the moment though with them currently on a run of three straight defeats. One of these losses came against Ligue 2 Lorient (1-2) with the other two seeing them concede seven away to Montpellier and Lyon. They are in quite a sticky situation at the moment and have been consistently sliding down the table in recent months with them currently sitting 15th.

Bayern Munich scored two goals in injury time to see off Freiburg and move up to third in the Bundesliga. The visitors went ahead when Robert Lewandowski slid in to score following Alphonso Davies' fine left-wing run. Freiburg's Vincenzo Grifo volleyed in an equaliser from Janik Haberer's pass. But Bayern, who began the day in fifth, scored in the 92nd minute with Joshua Zirkzee's close-range effort before Serge Gnabry added a third after his first attempt had been blocked.
But sometimes they do, and Liverpool’s volte face on Monday should provide encouragement that if your club has messed up, you should tell them. Tell them loud, and tell them often. Because it just might work. Liverpool’s decision to not take up the option of using the large pot of money set aside by the government to pay members of their non-playing staff, as they had initially intended to do while topping up their employees’ pay, is a welcome one but we should be cautious about dishing out too much praise.
Italian Atalanta has had a lot of blows lately and most recently it was home to Juventus with 1-3. Sure, they play beautiful football and score goals, but the defense lacks standing and Dinamo Zagreb used it in the first match played in Zagreb and then Dinamo won 4-0.
But it has not gone unnoticed that negotiations are being led by chief executive Gordon Taylor, who promised to stand down from his £2m per year role more than a year ago, but remains in power. The union has been holding out for a collective wage deferral and has finally broken its silence to explain its position, with some thinly-veiled digs at some clubs in its statement. But during talks with the Premier League over the past two days it has been made very clear to the PFA that an actual pay cut is required, with clubs deprived of matchday revenue and worried that TV rights-holders will start demanding hundreds of million of pounds worth of refunds.

Arsenal were held 0-0 at Burnley on Sunday for their fourth straight Premier League draw, leaving Arteta with only one win from his first seven league matches in charge since replacing Unai Emery in December. They have scored only eight goals in those games. We have to improve quality-wise. We're very far in terms of what I want in sustaining attacks and being unpredictable in our play, but that's a process," Arteta told Sky Sports.
We have to ask if it works to play football without spectators. If the people do not come to watch the games there is no sense, I wouldn't like to play in the Champions League, Premier League, cups, without people. The Spaniard said City would follow instructions from the authorities. We are here for the people.
A festival of football where the four best teams compete should not exclude their supporters," said umbrella fan group Aficiones Unidas (Supporters United). Newspaper El Mundo reported that 9% of 12,000 tickets available to Spanish fans have been distributed, with Valencia fans taking up only 26 tickets and Atletico picking up 50.
Peterborough are now without a win in five matches, three of which they've lost. There's been times during that spell where they've been let down at the back, but their attacking players are perhaps the biggest culprits. Posh have scored in just one of their last five matches, notching just a single goal in over 450 minutes of football. Improvements are a must.
Head coach Marcelo Bielsa says defender Robbie Gotts and goalkeeper Illan Meslier will make their debuts, with defenders Gaetano Berardi and Barry Douglas also starting. Of course it is a big challenge for us. It is enough to see the players and the prestige and level they have," said Argentine Bielsa. When people think that we are the favourite in one match, we don't consider things like that - and neither do we with the opposite, which is in this case.
Organisers have only released scheduling details for the first two rounds of fixtures although La Liga chief Javier Tebas confirmed that there will be matches every day of the week until the season is completed on 19 July.

No complaints about the performance. The only disappointment is I thought the goals were avoidable from our point of view. We took the game to them after falling behind and they were the ones crying for the full-time whistle towards the end. I felt we deserved something out of the game. They're a very, very good side in this league with the way they move the ball. But we changed a few things around in the second half and I felt we gave them a great test with that performance.
He has a flight to catch in the morning but before that, far from the club’s Melwood training ground, Liverpool’s throw-in coach is analysing video from the win over Manchester United. Every throw-in will be looked at. For most, this is a perfunctory element of the 90 minutes. For Gronnemark, the man who broke the world record for the longest throw at 51.
Even though the club was experiencing financial difficulties, the couple convinced their bosses about the potential. Former Newport County boss Feeney was appointed Pirin's manager in November, having become disillusioned with lower-league football in England. Feeney won 46 caps for Northern Ireland and has said he is 'flattered' to have been linked with the job as national team manager"It was an easy decision to come to Bulgaria because I had lost that bit of interest in English football, mainly to do with things going on behind the scenes," Feeney, who played for numerous clubs, including Cardiff City and Plymouth Argyle, says.
