Hearts also claimed the SPFL had exerted "undue influence" on the vote, but the league has said it has acted "wholly properly" at every stage of the process and added Rangers have yet to produce the evidence to back up their claims. I'm listening to ex players, pundits, I'm reading media and it's [the SPFL] getting absolutely battered from pillar to post the way it's handled things in the past couple of days," Gerrard added.

You could have a story every day. He is great company, lovely fellow and the type of person you want to be around. Favourite international moment? England beat Germany 5-1 in a World Cup qualifier back in 2001"I think my best moment would have to be going back to 2001 when we beat Germany 5-1 - that is the go to game and the memory for me where that team performed at the level it probably should have.
It was always going to take time for Simeone to make what he had last time with these players. Maybe he is finished and maybe too old school to succeed now. I would love to have seen this game three years ago. No, no way this Atletico side can trouble Liverpool. Wednesday 19 FebruaryAtalanta v ValenciaDebutants Atalanta progressed after coming second in Group C behind Manchester City, despite losing their opening three games, while Spanish side Valencia came top of a tight Group H ahead of second-placed Chelsea.
Speaking to The National, Fred said: "It’s sad. Skin colour should not matter. But we have to raise our heads, we cannot give them attention when there is so much beauty to see. Fred reacts after being hit by a lighter thrown from the crowd during Manchester United's win over Manchester CityGetty Images 10:15 - Ljungberg still targeting top-four finish Arsenal interim manager Freddie Ljungberg believes a top-four Premier League finish is possible, despite the Gunners’ inconsistent start to the season.
Solskjaer confirmed Pogba was given permission to "do his recovery somewhere else". I don't have to justify every decision," he said. Paul is still on his recovery programme. He's taken off his cast and started running on the treadmill now, so he's getting closer. It's been a long haul. Hopefully we'll see him back soon. Ighalo could join United permanentlyNew arrival Odion Ighalo is likely to make his United debut as a substitute at Stamford Bridge.
Almost 12 months ago, twenty-four BBC TV and radio pundits made their predictions for the Premier League season, picking their champions and their top four. Sounds easy? Far from it. None of them got it exactly right. Although eight pundits correctly picked Liverpool as champions, only Ruud Gullit got all four teams - and they were all in the wrong order. Matthew Upson deserves applause for getting three out of the four in their correct positions and another 10 pundits included three correct picks overall.

When we are through this and live sport brings us that joy once more, the sector should be able to look back knowing that it too played its part," he said. The PFA has insisted that players will provide a contribution but has questioned the logic of a pay cut. Taking a 30% salary deduction will cost the Exchequer substantial sums.

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has said offside may as well be scrapped entirely if Arsene Wenger's proposed changes are introduced. Wenger, now chief of global football development for Fifa, wants to alter marginal VAR offside decisions. The ex-Arsenal manager's idea is that "you will not be offside if any part of the body that can score a goal is in line with the last defender". The only rule that really works in VAR is the offside," said Hasenhuttl.

I've been saying since being in the job for 18 months that we need a reserve grade league as quick as possible," he said. This age group gets hurt more than anyone. We have the NYL (National Youth League) that has eight games a season. These kids are too old for that, but then they're not deemed good enough to be part of the A-League.
Responding to arguments that players in Italy and Spain had made greater sacrifices, Lineker said: "They're a few weeks ahead of us in Spain and Italy as everybody knows. Give the players a chance to help the situation. I'm positive they will do what's right. If it transpires that they don't, I'll be their harshest critic.

Brisbane Roar and Newcastle Jets will face each other in the upcoming match in the A League. Brisbane Roar this season have the following results: 9W, 5D and 7L. Meanwhile Newcastle Jets have 5W, 6D and 9L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Monchengladbach will have an advantage here going by their defensive run this season, though their away form has deteriorated in the past few matches. They have no win in the last five away league matches but going by the quality of opponent they face, we believe they will put an end to the poor run. However, we do not expect to see too many goals, going by the two sides’ performances in attack. Back this to end with under 2.5 goals.</p><p>
Manchester United have scored six goals in two games against Chelsea this season. Chelsea have conceded in five of their last six home league matches. The two clubs have conceded 63 goals between them this season. Chelsea fans won't forget the beating their side received at Old Trafford on the first weekend of the new season.
We’re also predicting the game to end in a stalemate with a 1-1 result looking the most likely. This gives both teams the chance to show what they can do, with both having enough talent to find the net but with so little between the two teams at the moment it’s hard to separate them and picking a winner. The 1-1 draw looks value and should represent an even and fair result between the teams.
A 2-0 success over Lokomotiv Moscow at Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday night clinched Atletico Madrid's place in the Last 16 of the Champions League, but domestically they have fallen well off the pace in recent weeks after winning just two of their last nine outings in La Liga.
The league leaders, who won the Club World Cup title by beating Brazil's Flamengo last Saturday, take on second-placed Leicester City on Thursday and host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, but other teams including Manchester City are not as fortunate. The champions visit Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolves on Friday before welcoming Sheffield United on Sunday, prompting manager Pep Guardiola to write to the league to "thank" them for a demanding schedule.
It was made even more impressive against a Millwall side whose home form has been their bedrock, losing just twice before Sunday's weather-affected encounter. The swirling wind, patches of rain and a clotting surface failed to hamper the excitement as both sides contributed greatly to a lively contest. Those conditions severely tested technique, with any loose touch threatening to cause havoc, as it did when West Brom forward Matheus Pereira latched onto one such lapse and rolled his shot onto the Lions' woodwork in the first five minutes.
That loss at Son Moix was their fifth from seven on the road this term and the two away wins they have achieved came against Leganes (0-3) and Espanyol (0-1), who are currently occupying the bottom two places in the table.
That phrase has been omitted from what is now called the owners' and directors' test, which measures whether owners meet standards greater than those required by law in order to protect football's reputation and image. Some human rights organisations have said the Saudis - who are set to finance 80% of a £300m takeover at Newcastle through their Public Investment Fund - fall well short of those standards.
BATE can miss a lot of scoring chances but have been improving after a poor start to this season which saw them lose their opening two games in the league both of them on the road losing first on the road at Energetik with no less than 3-1 and in their second league game they lost with 2-1 away at Slavia Mozyr as well, but lately won 3-0 away at FC Minsk and could have really won that one with 6-0 or 5-0, also won last away game in the league with 2-0 away at a tough defensive side like Gorodeja who had 3 wins in a row before that game, and also qualified further in the cup this week after winning 2-0 the return leg with Slavia Mozyr at home.
The planning of the tournament] probably started five or six years ago and [what] we were looking at then was to get as many people as possible into smaller stadiums. Now we're thinking Old Trafford for the first game of the Euros," said Neville. I think we should all be proud of the work that's being done. It is a brave and unbelievably correct decision by the FA to say 'the game has gone so far so let's take it to a bigger place' and I think it will be one of those occasions you will remember for a long, long time in your career.
Slutsk are three points behind leaders BATE Borisov after the weekend fixtures. They could be further behind by the coming weekend as the top two in the league both have midweek fixtures. Slutsk have lost their last two league games, the most recent being their 3-0 weekend loss at BATE. That game continued their run of conceding in every league game this season.
I would love to stay for many years. I say 'many years' but I know realistically how football is, but I would like to. Mauricio (Pochettino), 5-1/2 years, it would be amazing. Maybe (this is) the last job (in England). SURPRISE APPOINTMENT The appointment of Mourinho by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy surprised many people in the game since the club are not known for spending big money on buying players, unlike many of the top European clubs Mourinho has managed during his career.
We’re confident that Thursday’s match will end in a draw and we have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0. Both teams are in need of a win this week with just two group games remaining and neither of the two qualifying spots secured, but in a group that has produced a majority of stalemates so far we believe the most likely outcome on Thursday to be a draw as well.
It's been a long week with City advancing to the next round of the FA Cup with a 3-2 triumph over bitter rivals Manchester United, but their six-game winning streak came to an end mid-week with a 2-1 defeat. Goals from Vivianne Miedema and Danielle van de Donk ensured Arsenal got the better of City in the Continental Tyres League Cup semi-final but now there's the immediate chance for vengeance.
The pair were able to spare the blushes of De Gea who rightly had the finger of blame pointed in his direction for Bergwijn's 27th-minute opener. Yes, the shot carried weight but it was adjacent to De Gea at a comfortable height and he did little other than deflect it on its way into the roof of the net. It was very poor for a keeper of such reputation and was another sign of the fallibility and flaws that are simply appearing too often in his game.
Now, we are concentrating on the present and on the pitch. The media silence helped us concentrated on the pitch but has also stopped giving air time to those who have talked all sorts of nonsense," said Ancelotti, who added that he had never considered resigning. The club knows it needs to do better, the team the same, the coach also and we are all involved and we want to do it tomorrow.
Tuesday's visitors have been in flying form of late, though they've benefitted from two home games in the league and facing lower-level opposition in the Coupe de France. Their recent away form against teams at their own level isn't impressive. Strasbourg have lost three of their last five travelling matches, while they've lost six out of ten all season.
Stuttgart have conceded more goals than they've scored on the road and are now without a win in three on the road, each of which they've lost. During that time, they've scored three and have conceded nine. In contrast, for all they're not prolific winners at home, Darmstadt are tough to beat on their own patch, losing just one of their seven home games this year.
Slusk has been one of the teams that started the league very smoothly but tend to fall off in their preceding games. The home side, which is also one of the well to do teams in the league, will not allow the away side to easily win this match. Both sides will struggle for a win in this game and will definitely end up with a tie of either 0-0 or 1-1 scoreline in this tournament. Previous games played by both sides were not encouraging thus, I believe to change this, both sides will struggle for a win in this match and it will be the away side to win.
In terms of a correct score tip, although we fully expect the hosts to come out on top we have to respect the fact that Crawley have found the back of the net in 92% of their away matches. The visitors, however, concede an average of 1.67 goals per game on the road and with the hosts scoring an average of 1.55 goals per game and considering that they have score two or more in each of their last four home league matches, backing a 2-1 home win seems like the most likely result.
Perisic, a 2018 World Cup finalist, joined Bayern in August from Inter Milan to provide attacking options. He has scored four goals so far in the Bundesliga. Bayern are already struggling with a string of injuries to key players. But they have also reclaimed the Bundesliga lead last week and take on Hoffenheim in the German Cup third round on Wednesday.
This game is very important for both teams. C. Zvezda Mali Mokri Lug is second bottom team with just 17 points so far but Radnicki Obrenovac have just 3 points more. Both teams are in deep fighting against relegation and both need just to win. For home side this is last train if you ask me. So I expect they will finally score goal as at last two games they did not score a single goal. In game like this players must give more than than 100 percent and in game like this one you can see everything. Over 2.5 goals for me.
Benfica are unbeaten in their last six matches. Zenit have two wins in five Champions League matches. Benfica have three wins in 10 Champions League matches. Benfica have lost just once in the last 12 matches. Zenit have five straight wins. Benfica will host Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg in Group G when the UEFA Champions League enters the final round of group matches starting this Tuesday.
Portsmouth today will be meeting with the away team Fleetwood and this game we have given it an over of 1.5 total goals as looking at the last meetings this two teams have meet together they are very used of scoring many goals and so this makes us to see that this will continue in this game

This Tuesday, we have Eintracht Frankfurt playing host to Freiburg. At the time of writing, Frankfurt are 13th in the table and Freiburg are seventh. In their current form, Frankfurt will do well to hold on to that spot for much longer. With a game away to Bayern Munich coming before their Freiburg clash, we wouldn't be surprised to see them slip to just below the relegation zone.

Bolton have had 2 recent games where they defended well and the total went under 1.5 goals. They are not always the best defending team around and have had a bad time with defending throughout this season. There has been a lot of improvement done by them in recent weeks to make their score lines look better than they were before. They have been getting players behind the ball more well than before and have been defending the set pieces in games better too. The away team will struggle to score in this game and so will Bolton too
FC Juniors will host Floridsdorfer AC for this fixture of the league. I believe, the hosts have better team than their opponent. FC Juniors have an effective attack. However, they have a vulnerable defense. Hosts have a better results in the last matches. They have two consecutive victories. Nevertheless, I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Floridsdorfer have fallen into a very poor show. They have three consecutive losses. In any case, the visitors have the motivation to break the poor series because they are constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. My pick - Floridsdorfer to win.
