We don't want artificial means of deciding who wins the league, who gets into the Champions League, who gets relegated and promoted. Ideally our players would have three or four weeks minimum to prepare for the first match back, but I accept there may have to be a squeeze on that timeframe. It might mean extra restrictions at our place of work .

Webb, who was formerly at Swedish side Ostersunds FK, adds: "Clubs like Manchester United or Manchester City are wealthy but how would that look when NHS staff are on £20,000 a year? It's something they might have in mind. They might have to consider dropping down a level for a player at a different level of finance. If we are paying big wages to players are we going against everything that just happened in the world?" Do smaller clubs face having players 'poached'?Burnley and Huddersfield are well-run clubs and do not need to sell players in order to survive.
Like so many, Neil Lennon took a minute to applaud the NHS workers on Thursday evening, standing at the window of his Glasgow flat and clapping appreciatively as others around him clapped and banged their pots and pans in acknowledgment of these incredible people. He found it emotional and he wouldn't have been alone in that either. The word I keep hearing on the news, from leaders of countries and leaders of sports associations, is unprecedented," he says.
For me it is quick, attacking, flowing football with the right intent. There is no intention to take it back to the keeper. We have players with pace, quality and skill.

March 7 (Reuters) - Little more than four months on the job, U. S. Vlatko Andonovski is earning high praise from team veterans, as the squad looks to build off the momentum of its fourth World Cup win and shake off the demons of an early exit at Rio 2016. Andonovski, who took over in late October from longtime coach Jill Ellis, has made a smooth transition into the head coaching role, players said on Saturday, a day ahead of their SheBelieves Cup game against Spain.

Defensively they have been solid. They just haven't had that break or that extra bit of luck," she said. I'm hoping to bring some of my experience and leadership qualities to the team to help them get that first three points, which I think is long overdue. Just from a few days here I can see Vicky has a great relationship with the whole squad and that's really important. She is a manager I want to play for.

Beitar Jerusalem has by far better players even playing in recent seasons well in the Europa League qualifying stages of the competition, and saw them in their last friendly game away at a tougher Bnei Yehuda side as they took the lead really early 2-0 there being attacking minded and with an obvious plus in terms of quality than their opponents, they kept a clean sheet till the end and even scored their 3th goal as they won with ease 3-0 in the end. While before that they did lose 2-1 at Netanya but that is a stronger opponent with more quality in attack.
There's still that fear of getting injured again and what that would look like for me. Ultimately, the things you take for granted in terms of being a footballer, being able to run, being around your team on a regular basis, gamedays, those are the things I don't take for granted anymore because they can be taken away in an instant.

The heroes will be the men and women who continue working tirelessly in our hospitals and medical centres to look after our friends and families. They won't receive the individual acclaim, but we all know their importance is beyond anything we do on the pitch. When we play again as an England team, it will be at a time when not only our country but the rest of the world as well is on the road to recovery.
But if you want to do that (win the title) you have to face these teams sooner or later. Madrid, you have to beat Barcelona, you have to beat Bayern Munich. You have to beat the big, big teams. If we're able to do it we'll be so happy. If not then next season. I don't know but when we are able to play we are going to come back.
Deloitte, which in April reported that the 98-year old association's accounts were not being properly kept, contravening two sections of Irish company law, noted in the 2018 accounts that it was unable to form an opinion on the truth and fairness of the financial statements. While the company has received some advanced funding from (European soccer's governing body) UEFA during 2019 to enable it to meet some of its current liabilities there is not sufficient audit evidence that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due," the auditors' report said.
Kane and Son have both made the transition from underrated to Europe’s finest. And this isn’t saying Moura is at that level. It’s just that while Spurs cater to the aforementioned duo, Moura is left – often successfully, recently less so – filling whatever vacancy in the team remains. Everyone will have the own barometer for ‘underrated’.

tonight will be playing match between teams Leipzig and benfica. My prediction for this match is draw result. Odd is dropping and that is one of the reasons wh yi chose to play this tip.

Ashley Young's presence at right-back saw Aaron Wan-Bissaka out of the line-up, and neither Fred nor Scott McTominay began in midfield.

PA Sport Paper Round’s views: While Premier League clubs owe the most money in terms of nominal amounts, the relative problems are perhaps greater further down the line for clubs that can't secure more credit easily, or who are already in financial trouble.

Rodgers says he is happy for Leicester not to be seen as challengers but there are lots of reasons why they are genuine contenders, starting with their manager.
Hello everyone from this perfect game. I want to give you prediction about this very interesting game from Italy Seria A between two teams from Milano and they are Milan and Inter. Inter have good position to attack the title this year and they have three points less from Juventus. That's they must to take this game but Milan now is not like before and they have five wins last games. Milan the same need points because they are not good position and if they want to play this year in Europe they need points. That's why I think here this two teams will take a draw.
