I've had quieter breakfasts, if I'm honest. The milk hadn't even touch the Weetabix (other breakfast cereals are available, but they're not as good) when Tottenham announced that they had completed a deal to bring in Jose Mourinho less than 12 hours after announcing the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino.
Unfortunately we lost an important game against Arsenal and we wanted to use that game to climb up the table. But on Sunday we have another important game, against a direct rival for one of these positions, and we are going to give our all in this game to try and climb the table," he said. United are desperate to get back among the elite and despite some ups and downs this season, as Solskjaer bloods youngsters and tries to rebuild the side, they remain in contention.
I can't say whether he's any good or not –- I've got no idea. Bournemouth, who are in the bottom three but separated from 17th-placed West Ham United only on goal difference, face Arsenal in the FA Cup fourth round on Monday. When asked what he would wish for if he had a magic wand, Howe said: "To win the next game.
Chinandega pulled out with the good defensive performance, and was able to get their first win on side in this season. They beat Jalapa with 1:0 and made the move to the playoff fight in the next period. Team is heading to the Diriangen, which was one of the tight rivals in the competition, but which is having some issues after drawing with the bottom placed Sabanas and lose in Managua to Juventus.
the Colon Res fc team and the Banfield Res fc team, go head to head in Argentina Reserve league. The Colon Res fc team is in 17th with 18 points Collected. While guest team the Banfield Res fc team came in 13th place by collecting 23 points. In the last 5 times the Colon Res fc team played at home, have not ended in a draw. But the guest team played at away, 3 of them ended in a the Banfield Res fc team had draw.
And it would be a big ask. While Liverpool face Atletico Madrid, Manchester City must overcome Real Madrid. Chelsea, meanwhile, face Bayern Munich, and Tottenham come up against RB Leipzig. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAST 16 DRAW Borussia Dortmund v Paris Saint-Germain Real Madrid v Manchester City Atalanta v Valencia Atletico Madrid v Liverpool Chelsea v Bayern Munich Lyon v Juventus Tottenham v RB Leipzig Napoli v Barcelona It would certainly be a message of intent should Liverpool and City send the two Madrid sides packing, although equally, Real and Atletico will be aware that this is Spain’s chance to hit back.
So it would have been right as well if Virgil would have won it. Italian Fabio Cannavaro was the last defender to win the Ballon d'Or, in 2006, after helping Italy in the World Cup. The award has been dominated by forwards, with Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo a five-times winner and third on Monday. Van Dijk transformed Liverpool's defence on the way to winning last season's Champions League and helped the Netherlands reach the Nations League final in Portugal.
The exact score earns 40 points. LAWRO'S PREDICTIONSAll kick-offs 15:00 GMT unless stated. SATURDAY Chelsea v Tottenham (12:30 GMT)I am going with Chelsea here. Their win at Tottenham before Christmas was one of Frank Lampard's best moments as Blues boss, and I think he will do the double and take another three points off Jose Mourinho on Saturday.
The faces he pulls, the dramatic way that he points to a penalty spot, and the physical comedy like when he pretended to sniff his assistant referee in the Manchester derby. One paper once called him "king of the bants". Is he playing up to the cameras? Pushed on whether he adopts a persona on the pitch, Dean offers a slightly ambiguous answer. Showman, you mean?" he asks. Yeah, I do come across like that.
With a record of one win, four draws and four defeats since the end of October, Sergio's men cannot be fancied for victory this weekend against an Osasuna side who have lost just twice in nine matches at home. Furthermore, the visitors' away record this season reads extremely poorly, with two wins, three draws and five defeats suffered from ten.
Pep Guardiola says he did not intend to "offend" Manchester City supporters over missing their FA Cup fourth-round win over Fulham on Sunday. After the game the City boss questioned why the ground was not full, with a crowd of 39,223 - well below the 55,000 capacity at Etihad Stadium - watching. However, Guardiola says he now realises the financial constraints on fans. I understand the fans. It was never my intention to offend them," Guardiola said.
Washington Aguerre was booked in the first half for celebrating Cerro's opening goal seated in the zen position similar to that made famous by Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund in last week’s Champions League game against Paris St Germain. Aguerre, who has spent most of his career with Nacional’s arch-rivals Penarol, was sent off in the final minute of the match for a foul that led to a penalty.
the Leixoes fc team and the Mafra fc team, meet in Portugal Segunda Liga. The Leixoes fc team is in 8th position with 24 points Collected. While guest team the Mafra fc came in 4th place by collecting 27 points.
This is actually Sparta Prague B side which is playing in the 3rd league level this season fighting for promotion to the second league level at this moment, I watched them play their first game in this competition against a modest 2nd league club Varnsdorf and they did took the lead in the first half but in the second half only a miracle made them not lose the game as Varnsdorf only scored the 1-1 goal in the 90 minute and there was no time left for a second.

I'll never get that again. David Raven says he will never replicate the feeling of scoring the winnerTansey: "I remember running over and I was actually sick over the advertising boards because I was so tired. I jumped on Rav and had to jump back off to throw up. It was a rush of emotions, and we were all exhausted. Boys were running around naked on the bus'Inverness had sealed their place in the Scottish Cup final - which they would go on to win against Falkirk - and didn't hold back in their celebrations on the long bus journey back to the Highlands.
But at the same time I think football needs to have a good, long, hard look at itself. The Premier League is lagging well behind Europe on this: a number of playing squads across Europe, including Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Juventus, have agreed cuts or deferrals. So far only Leeds and Birmingham, apparently unilaterally, have taken similar steps in England.
We’re confident that both teams will score in Sunday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams have drawn the majority of their last six matches in all competitions and on each occasion those stalemates have ended 1-1. Neither side have kept many clean sheets on late, just one in the pairs lat twelve matches combined, but both teams are unbeaten in their last three matches in all competitions and should prove difficult to beat this weekend.
Aston Villa may have had a big win in the EFL Cup on Tuesday but they won't be facing a youth team this weekend. They are 17th in the Premier League and host Southampton who are only a place below them and only on goal difference. A win for the away side will plunge Villa into the relegation zone for Christmas.
I am going to say Saints win. West Ham v West BromPremier League (17th)vChampionship (1st)Who did they beat?3R: Gillingham (C) A3R: Charlton (C) AWest Brom have hit the buffers in a big way in the Championship and have not won in the league since 14 December. They are only still top because Leeds have done something similar. From what Baggies boss - and former West Ham manager - Slaven Bilic has been saying about their fixture list and fatigue, it does not sound like they particularly want an FA Cup run.
James Maddison has impressed for Leicester under RodgersGetty Images "He has shown he is a big-game player," Rodgers said. He has scored goals against Liverpool, against Tottenham, against Arsenal (this season). James is among a lot of very good players with England and it's just about preference, whether Gareth and his staff want to pick him.

When we have such an athlete it is normal for a lot of teams to want him, but tomorrow he will be there unless disaster strikes. Sporting, who are currently fourth in the Primeira Liga, host leaders Benfica at the Jose Alvalade Stadium at 21:15 GMT on Friday. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his assistant, Mike Phelan, watched Fernandes play against FC Porto on 5 January. Silas said there is "no player in Portugal who does" what Fernandes can do.
Ederson Ederson has kept more clean sheets than any other keeper since his Premier League debut for Manchester City and provided two assists in all competitionsPremier League appearances: 99Clean sheets: 45Wright: "He has been amazing for Manchester City. Not only has he won trophies, he is one of the goalkeepers that has changed the position for the way keepers have to be now. Shearer: "Some of the passes this guy comes out with, he is better than some of the players I have played with.
Solskjaer knows that Pogba’s range of passing is the best at the club, at its peak better than Michael Carrick or David Beckham’s. His eye for a long-range shot is the best at Old Trafford since the retirement of Paul Scholes. His technical ability is unrivalled at the club. So how do United bring this out of him while the club founders? Football Soccer - Juventus v Milan - Italian Cup Final - Olympic stadium, Rome, Italy - 21/05/16 Juventus' Paul Pogba holds the cup at the end of the match against AC MilanReuters The answer may simply be to play to his ego.
After the Dusseldorf game, quite a few of us got sick. It was before all the testing was more efficient. It could have been an ordinary flu, or it could have been the virus. Who knows? I was sick for two weeks and I wasn't the only one. Kianz Froese (centre) said: "Four assists, I don't think I ever thought I would have a German record at this stage and now I do have one. That's cool. And now to the semi-final.
England will face Austria and Romania in June during their pre-tournament training camp for Euro 2020. Gareth Southgate's side will play Austria in Vienna on Tuesday, 2 June prior to hosting Romania five days later at a venue yet to be decided. Those games have been added to a match against Denmark at Wembley on 31 March. The Football Association also says an opponent for a game at Wembley on Friday, 27 March will "be confirmed in due course".
Fresh from three top-flight defeats on the spin, the Magpies will welcome the distraction of some knock-out football against lower league opposition, though their tie with Rochdale at Spotland could prove tricky.
Hours later the torch relay through Greece was cancelled after fears that unexpectedly large crowds on the route could spread the coronavirus. Formula One has now lost its first four races of the season with the first-ever race in Vietnam cancelled, along with Bahrain. The Chinese Grand Prix had already been called off and this weekend's opener in Melbourne was cancelled with all the teams already in place.
The Premier League is considering letting the four clubs still involved in European competition start next season later than everyone else. The most likely start date for the 2020-21 campaign is 12 September - seven weeks after the end of the current season. However, Chelsea and Manchester City are still in the Champions League, while Manchester United and Wolves are in the Europa League. They play outstanding last-16 matches between 5 and 8 August and if they progress will go on to single-leg 'final eight' tournaments, with the Europa League final on 21 August and the Champions League final two days later.
Time evaporates, pressure never eases, and, before long, those closest become strangers. I realised, especially for my wife and my son, how intensive it was," he continues. When you're in the job you don't realise that. Now, after 15 years of managing, maybe I need this time. I've never had that period before, where you can have time to breathe, time to develop your process, to go to matches and scout without the pressure of the next game, to go to seminars.
It looks like Salzburg will have a little bit more difficult time winning the league this year then even so it's time for them to take the things seriously. They finished the regular part with -6 points then 1st place LASK but after the regulations they are now at the 1st place with +3 but given the fact that LASK is playing against Hartberg I expect Salzburg to take the things much more seriously not just in this match but in general. Rapid showed some improvement during the last 2-3 season but still they are not even near at quality as their today's opponents are.
Paper Round's views: It is clear that Tottenham need a new goalkeeper, with Lloris making a string of high-profile gaffes over the past couple of years and advancing in years. If Strakosha has indeed decided to stay at Lazio, then they need to prioritise a new keeper in the summer transfer window and attempt to sell on the Frenchman.
A defeat on Saturday could say Maidenhead fall into the relegation zone and in their current form, isn't something that looks improbable. Indeed, the hosts have now lost 3 of their last 4 league matches and having conceded an average of 3 goals a game over said fixtures, it's not hard to see why they are struggling,
It is hard to know what to expect from the Magpies this time - they are safe so have nothing to play for, unlike Watford who are fighting for their lives. I'd have to back the Hornets here, but I'm expecting more of a fight from Newcastle. They won't get battered again. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Scotty's prediction: Newcastle are one of the teams who seem to be thriving without fans putting pressure on them, when there can be a pretty toxic atmosphere at St James' Park because of the way their supporters view their owner.
