There are genuine concerns at all levels of the league about neutral venues so I think the way some people have painted it - as the bottom six versus the rest - is misguided and wrong," added Barber. We would go into quarantine' - MeeThe Premier League's plans - dubbed Project Restart - involve a return to action in June in order to complete the season by the end of July. Club doctors are seeking their own assurances over player welfare and more than coronavirus 40,000 tests will be needed for players if the restart plan is to be executed.
All fair points, to be fair, but the above means that Haaland buys into the "I am a lion" jibberish that Ibrahimovic likes spouting. Not for the Warm-Up, that; not one bit. HAT-TIP The detail in Jack Pitt-Brooke's report on the reasons behind Daniel Sturridge's four-month ban for gambling indiscretions are rather mind-boggling.
League leader Porto completely screwed up the restart of the season at the weekend and lost at Famalicao 1-2. Team Benfica owes that the lead in the standings is not gone as they also failed, but are now tied with 60 points. Martimo coming from Setubal with a point and is therefore still in the table with 15 points. I am sure that Porto will show a different face here than at the restart and expect a clear victory, which will take shape at the break. Porto is currently 2nd in the ranking, I see them win after losing to famalicao, I see them now conceding no goal because Maritimo has not scored in his last 4 away games ...

Home team is have better chances to win in this match from Germany Bundesliga, but we will see what will happen. Both of rivals are teams who are have bad defense and in the same time, their attacks are on pretty solid level. Augsburg was had 3-1 lead against Dortmund and lost 3-5 not so long ago, while Werder is in Bremen, at home, lost in previous round against Hoffenheim 0-3, even after first half it was 0-0. I believe in plenty of chances in this match and at least three goals. I will try this option, it is very real.

If this game was played a month and a half ago we would have seen the guests set as favorites for winning this one as Sonderjyske was undefeated in the league plus cup on the road till they played away from home at Copenhagen where they lost 3-0, followed by a 4-2 loss at Aarhus and a 3-0 loss in their last away game at Rangers as well all of them league games, so of course now the hosts are favorites.
All things considered, we do expect Manchester City to win though. They have won 15 of their last 18 home league matches, so backing Manchester City Win and Both Teams to Score looks like a good idea.
Uefa's executive committee will make its decision on 17 June. Meetings over the past few weeks have debated various scenarios, including completing the tournament in two-legged ties as originally planned. But recent discussions have centred on the type of format world governing body Fifa is aiming for with its Club World Cup concept, which it is felt would provide the most entertaining option for broadcasters and TV viewers.
They are 13th in the table and host Sheffield United who begin the weekend in seventh. A win for Brighton though will take them to within two points of their opponents. Brighton have only won one of their last six league games, a 2-1 victory at Arsenal. Their season could go both ways because they are only six points off the Europa League place but just five above the relegation zone.
Pardubice have a game less and 3 more points than Jihlava. I think they are the main candidates for a higher rank. At home, they have 7 wins and 1 loss, goal difference 18-4. Prostejov has twice less points. They have no chance of reaching third place in the table. I think they are without any motives and they are far from the relegation zone. They have 9 points more than Vitkovice, so today they have nothing to look for on this field. They have played 3 times on this field and have the same number of defeats. I expect a sure victory for Pardubice
Chelsea continues to have a fever and the team can produce completely unpredictable results, for example, as in the last round at home with Bournemouth. The team still has disgusting defense, which can block all attacking achievements.

I was so excited when Celtic wanted me to go to America with them," Moore told me some years ago when I was researching a book about his life. It was like being asked by Arsenal or Manchester United or Liverpool. The club was incredibly generous to me. Apart from my pay and any bonuses, Celtic agreed to pay a £22 a week allowance to my wife Phyllis while I was away. That was big money then. Alex Moore's story with Belfast Celtic has been covered in his memoirsCeltic played five matches in the build-up to the clash with Scotland on 29 May.
It doesn't feel somehow special. We know about it and it is special but I can't feel it," he said. When someone gives you a trophy it is done, but until then you need to fight. It is only the start. We need to continue because our contenders are so strong. Pep (Guardiola, Man City boss) will not give up.
Spurs will have had a couple of months of Mourinho, which is generally the recommended amount. Atalanta will be pressure-free and free-scoring. And Dortmund might have moved Lucien Favre on by the new year. But the two Madrid teams are floating around ominously: they may not be in vintage form, but Real Madrid win games in Europe they’ve absolutely no right to, while Atleti are coached by Diego Simeone.
This summer it's going to be a case of 'we want you but there's your offer, take it or leave it' - there's going to be 10 or 11 players in the same position as you, willing to take less money just to secure a place at a League One or League Two side. I hate to be so pessimistic, I just think, realistically, football is going to change for a very, very long time below the Championship. Pandemic 'more grave' than administrationIt has been more than 10 weeks since a ball has been kicked in League One or League Two.
The whole of the next football season in England could be played in front of reduced capacities and crowd sizes could be further impacted if chanting is proven to heighten transmission risk, a senior government adviser has said. The first pilots for the return of crowds to sporting events in England took place with a cricket friendly at The Oval on Sunday, and additional test events are taking place at Edgbaston, the World Snooker Championship and Glorious Goodwood in the next week.
However, Mourinho is looking to the future and is hoping a low in the season could prove to be a turning point. I think probably it’s good [going out].

After five days of bitterness, rancour, suspicion and confusion, it was somehow fitting that the SPFL rounded it all off with a valedictory statement on Wednesday that added slapstick to the mix. In announcing that their controversial resolution had now passed and that the lower leagues were thereby over for the season, SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan and chief executive Neil Doncaster thought it a good idea to congratulate the immediate winners from the vote - Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, all now champions of their respective divisions - without commiserating with the big losers - Partick Thistle and Stranraer, who were now relegated.

Flying high in third place, a record run of ten wins has propelled Lazio into title contention. They are currently six points behind leaders Juventus with a game in hand. Sampdoria, meanwhile, are fighting against relegation. Coached by Claudio Ranieri, they are in a decent run of form having only lost one of their last four matches.
I started to really watch football. To analyse it. To understand what I felt, and what I wanted to put into practice when I became a coach. After the Pep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova era, Barcelona began to lose some of their swagger while still picking up trophies at an impressive rate. Under Luis Enrique and then Valverde the focus shifted from teamwork to the individual, with elite players such as Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez becoming increasingly important.
That's how he became an extraordinary player. It is not just Gnabry's attacking prowess - he has scored nine goals for Bayern in 18 games this season - that has impressed Nouri. He is lightning quick, a clinical finisher, but he puts a lot of work now in his defence - that was something he was missing before," Nouri said. Now he's taking these deep runs back to his own box defending. He's capable of doing this work while on the other hand making deep runs for the offence.
