When Manchester City's players went downstairs on 11 May 2013 - the morning of the FA Cup final - the televisions in their hotel were showing wall-to-wall coverage of reports that their manager Roberto Mancini was about to be sacked. As far as last-minute preparations for Wembley go, it was not exactly ideal. In contrast, the Wigan squad had woken up to find inspirational messages from their team-mates that had been pushed under the doors of their rooms.

The Department of Justice makes allegations against Nicolas Leoz, the former president of South American governing body Conmebol, and ex-Brazil federation supremo Ricardo Teixeira. Both are accused of taking money "in exchange for their votes in favour of Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup". Disgraced former Fifa vice-president Jack Warner of Trinidad and Tobago was also allegedly paid £4m through a host of offshore shell companies to back Russia's 2018 bid.
The seventh placed side in the Premier League would normally qualify for the Europa League, but the two places above seventh would not need to start their Europa League games until mid-September. By giving up the seventh spot, that would allow the Premier League to delay the start of next season's, er, season.

Ten-man Arsenal net late equaliser through Bellerin at Chelsea * Villa snatch 2-1 win over Watford to escape relegation zone (adds quotes, details) By Martyn Herman LONDON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce described it as a wacky night of Premier League action after his side, and Arsenal, salvaged unlikely 2-2 draws and Aston Villa grabbed a priceless last-gasp victory at Watford on Tuesday.
The ball is coming at you from twelve yards away, at a ridiculous pace, giving you even less time to react. Now imagine that you are a professional goalkeeper, facing a professional taker with increased accuracy and power. Of course as a professional keeper your reactions will be increased but the balance will be more uneven, at least at amateur level there’s a good chance that the taker might completely scuff their attempt.
The Reds made very easy work of West Ham on Wednesday and I can see this game being a similar story. Media playback is not supported on this device West Ham 0-2 Liverpool: The title is not yet won - Jurgen Klopp I think the time has passed where you can look at Liverpool and think 'where are they going to slip up?' in terms of the title race. That ship has sailed, although Jurgen Klopp will keep saying differently until it is mathematically done.
I'll be very interested to see if he can retain this form and for how long. Did you know? Lloris has saved three of the last four penalties he has faced in the Premier League. Defenders - Antonio Rudiger (Chelsea), Yerry Mina (Everton), Nathan Ake (Bournemouth) Antonio Rudiger: Chelsea got away with this result having been let down, not on one occasion but two by Willy Caballero in the Chelsea goal.
Kaiserslautern and Chemnitzer will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Kaiserslautern this season have the following results: 10W, 11D and 10L. Meanwhile Chemnitzer have 9W, 10D and 12L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Saints climb out of relegation zone with 3-1 win at Villa Two goals from in-form striker Danny Ings helped Southampton to a 3-1 win at Aston Villa on Saturday, as the visitors climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone. Southampton grabbed the early advantage at Villa Park after Shane Long chased down a long ball behind the Villa backline, but his effort was parried by goalkeeper Tom Heaton, only for Ings to score from the rebound.
Right now, the host of this match, Bayer Leverkusen looks very impressive, especially after the big wins they had vs Werder Bremen and Borussia Monchengladbach, both away. Now they finally will play at home, against not so strong opponent, Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg are decent team, they have won 39 points so far, ranked 6th place. However Bayer Leverkusen are different animal, they sit on 4th place with 53 points.

A number of other clubs at the same level have since taken similar action, with League One side Doncaster following suit last week. Reading have also made use of the government's job retention scheme, with their women's side, men's under-23s players and a large number of non-playing staff placed on furlough. Moore said it was his job, as captain, to ensure team-mates were "100% comfortable in what they were signing up to".
Tottenham Hotspur Spurs seem to be in a small crisis this season, looking nothing like the quality team they have been in the past. While there are a lot of areas that they need to improve, a good full-back could be an immediate fix. Serge Aurier is error-prone and caused spurs to concede more than once this season, and the left side isn’t great either.
The Bluebirds have certainly had difficulty adjusting to their first season back in the second tier following last season's relegation. They are 13th in the table, six points off a play-off spot. Reading are a further three points behind in 16th place. There's plenty of room between Reading and the relegation zone (12 points) so that is not an immediate concern.

Of course, I have sympathy because I know how difficult the life of a manager can be," said Klopp. But the last thing Marco needs now is that I feel sorry for him - I don't. But I am really on his side because I know about the job. Last year's fixture at Anfield was a memorable one for Liverpool fans with Divock Origi scoring an added-time winner after Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford's error, prompting Klopp to run 50 yards onto the pitch to celebrate with goalkeeper Alisson.

Verona were recently beaten at this venue but their form prior to that was encouraging. At the prices, the home win appeals. The fact that they've conceded very few goals in front of their own fans bodes well ahead of a match against a side that has struggled to score away goals against teams not in the bottom three. Torino's form – lost four out of four on the road – prior to beating two weak sides doesn't exactly point towards them doing well against an astute host. Furthermore, Verona have done a much better job of matching teams when it comes to shots on target, as they've registered as many as they've conceded at home. In contrast, Torino have an average shots on target supremacy of -2.14 on the road.
As an Aberdonian and lifelong Dons fan, I'm honoured and privileged to become chairman of the famous Aberdeen," said Cormack. I'm also pleased to be able to announce a strategic partnership with Atlanta United, details of which will be announced tomorrow [Monday]. There are some real challenges ahead but, with the support of my fellow directors and new investors, along with our fans, we will do our utmost to deliver success which, at the end of the day, is measured by the team's performance.
Only Milwaukee Bucks have won more games than the Lakers this season. The Lakers have won five of their last seven at home. San Antonio Spurs have lost four of their last six matches. With 37 wins already this season, the Los Angeles Lakers are top of not just the Pacific Division but the whole Western Conference.
Bayern Munich are unbeaten in 11 Bundesliga games, winning ten of those matches. Bayern Munich won the reverse fixture 2-1 when these teams met in October 2019. Union Berlin have scored in five of their last six home matches in the Bundesliga. So impressive in front of their own fans, Union Berlin will have to make do without the backing of supporters when they host Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this Saturday.
Shakhtyor Reserves is going to face Slutsk Reserves. The hosts won the first clash in this season against Slamichev 4:0 on away and it was a great game. I think that the hosts will start winning games like that and if they will keep this form they should easily win this match against Slutsk. The visitors conceded nine goals in only four matches. The last away match was against Isloch and they lost 0:4. The hosts should win this match by more than one goal. I think that we can see here at least 2:0 for the hosts. Slutsk is an average team
Semi final match between the two best teams in the Serbian league and also the 2 teams that have scored the most goals so far this season. But both have also an excellent defense with Partizan conceding only 23 goals in 28 league matches and Crvena Zvezda even only 15.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the other. Real united the two in 2013, signing Bale for a then world-record fee of £85m, eclipsing the £80m they had paid for Ronaldo four years earlier. Protracted negotiations meant Bale's presentation to fans at the Bernabeu came close to the transfer deadline, as well as Wales' squad meeting before their game in Macedonia. Many, particularly in Madrid, assumed Bale would stay with his new club.

The BBC is reporting that Tottenham's compensation package for Mauricio Pochettino and his staff will be a tidy sum over £12m. Not a bad pay off. Some non-Tottenham news (I know, crazy) because Liverpool look like they will be without to starters on Saturday for their trip to Crystal Palace. Mo Salah has been battling an ankle injury and will reportedly miss Saturday's Premier League return while Andy Robertson missed Scotland's games against Cyprus and Kazakhstan - and appears not to have made a full recovery.

Swansea head coach Steve Cooper:"We felt comfortable in the game. They probably had a couple more clear chances than we did, but I thought we got into as many good areas as them. We're really disappointed to concede like we did that late on. It's a tough one to take, but we've quickly got to get over it. There are still points to play for. Whether we had drawn or won today, we still would have had to pick up points in the remaining games.
For more than three months, they sat six-points adrift of second-placed West Brom waiting for the chance to reduce the gap. Likewise, Brentford remained just one spot and four points behind their city neighbours in the play-off places awaiting the season restart. Victory for the Bees means they have only lost one of their past nine league games and consolidates their place in the play-offs. Meanwhile Fulham face a huge challenge against table-toppers Leeds United next weekend.
Their attacking players are starting to show what they can do with Diego Castro and, in particular, Bruno Fornaroli being the difference makers that they’ve been for years in the league. Another positive result here would move them to third as they look to close down both Melbourne City and Sydney FC.

But that format has been ripped up, for the next three years at least. The tournament now takes place in January - in Saudi Arabia - and features four teams: the top two in the previous season's La Liga, and the winners and runners-up from the Copa del Rey. If those teams are the same, then the next highest La Liga team get in. This year the teams in action at the 62,000-capacity King Abdullah Sports City stadium in Jeddah are Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Valencia.
