Premier League clubs are living in a “moral vacuum” and players should be first to sacrifice salaries during the coronavirus pandemic, say politicians. Julian Knight, the chair of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport committee, has condemned the actions of some Premier League clubs, who have furloughed non-playing staff. Tottenham, Newcastle and Norwich have opted to utilise the government’s job retention scheme during the pandemic.

Jurgen Klopp spent four years building his team and they're doing well now," said the Norwegian. It's not going be a quick fix - eight or 10 players in the transfer window. We can't react to all the noise outside. There'll be criticism - you've got to take it, you've got to be stronger mentally. I am, the club is. The staff are very strong mentally and we're sticking to what we believe in. I've got full faith.
In 2005, their only Fifa Club World Cup campaign ended in a final defeat to another Brazilian side, Sao Paulo - although the English side dominated the game, missed numerous chances and had three goals ruled out for offside. Liverpool are superior to Flamengo but they sometimes win against smaller opposition in England without really dominating them," says 1970 World Cup winner Tostao. Flamengo can square up to Liverpool and beat them.
Carlton Cole - West Ham to West Brom (January 2015)English forward Cole had reportedly completed a medical and agreed personal terms only to get a phone call from Hammers manager Sam Allardyce 20 minutes before the deadline saying the deal had fallen through.

A series of racist incidents have tainted European soccer recently, with Italian striker Mario Balotelli threatening to walk off the field after receiving alleged abuse from Hellas Verona fans last month while Shakhtar Donetsk forward Taison was shown a red card for reacting to racist jeers during a match.
Home side is current Champion of the competition, and main favorite in this league season. They have scored seven goals against new team in the league Dushanbe 83, and are already in the good playing shape. However, good start should not be a real picture, since their rival is not experienced for this league. This opponent is tougher, and CSKA was one of the very few teams that manage to beat them in the recent season.
Gil Vicente have been struggling since the beginning of December of last year with only 4 wins in the last 15 matches. At home they have won only 4 of the 12 league games so far this season and in the last 3 games at home they conceded 7 goals.
These two sides come into Friday’s encounter aiming for a play-off place. QPR are sitting just four points off the top six after a surprisingly good start, although they’ve missed the chance to move into the play-off spots after a poor run. Meanwhile, Fulham are in seventh and looking to make a leap into the top four with three points in front of their home support.
The FA Cup hasn’t been too kind to the side in recent years with no cup run beyond the third round since 2013 and no real excitement for the side over the past few years. There are some that think a cup run could be a big distraction as the club fight for their lives in The Championship whilst others think a cup win over what is deemed to be weaker opposition could give them a boost in the league.
It’s astonishing how out of things you feel if you’re not playing,” he said in his first autobiography. It’s as if a glass partition descends between you and the players who are in the side. Keane was sharing a room with Denis Irwin, a dubious idea given one was playing and one not. He had a few drinks with Scholes and some United fans on the Monday night before sneaking to bed.
The special nature of if was only heightened when Eintracht exploded out of the blocks. Meier hit the crossbar inside a minute. Kress and Pfaff forced saves out of Rogelio Dominguez soon after. Then Kress scored. Hampden, willing on the underdogs, erupted in acclamation. They were to do a lot of that on the night. Once Real settled, the full majesty of the team unfolded and it was Di Stefano, as ever, who orchestrated it.
Barkley, 25, has not played since Oct. He showed a lack of professionalism as far as I'm concerned," Lampard told reporters ahead of Chelsea's Champions League trip to Valencia later on Wednesday. It's not something I want to come down hard on because I understand all my players are humans and have lives.
This isn't how it should be in football. Midfielders Jesse Lingard and Fred both appeared to be targets of abuse with the latter also hit by objects thrown from the crowd as he attempted to take a corner at City's Etihad Stadium. We have spoken with the boys of course," said Solskjaer. It has been a tough couple of days for Jesse and Fred. Manchester City condemned the abuse with Fred saying after the match that it is evidence that "we are still in a backward society".
Partizan have kept two clean sheets in their last six matches and Astana have failed to score in two of their last three matches and the hosts have scored two or more goals in each of their last six matches while Astana have conceded eight goals in their last three matches, which adds weight to our prediction for a 2-0 home win this week.

The Canaries started the season in fine form with one of the best defences in the league but they currently look a shadow of their former selves having conceded nine goals in their last six Ligue 1 matches. Much of their early season success was thanks to their excellent home form but their performances on the road have always failed to match that quality. They have two defeats and a draw in their last three matches away from home and we doubt that'll get any better here as they travel to Paris.
Both rivals are going with the less efficient matches, and this clash could be one of those where teams will not make over three goals in the match. Isloch should be favorite in this one, as they play at home and generally have better young reserves and youth team. However, Belshina did show some good capability in the defense, and it will not easy concede in the game.
It is designed to help when football returns behind closed doors.

Instead, the review will be broad and not limited to the already well-rehearsed arguments about "daylight", referring to a clear gap between the attacker and the last defender, and "leeway". In the past there have been radical experiments such as a 35-yard line limit for offside -- rather than the halfway line -- in the old North American Soccer League (NASL).
There would be players getting more exposure to real football, and I think that would help us in the long run. We need to be giving kids the opportunity to play against men," McCann added. The classic example is [Liverpool and Scotland defender] Andy Robertson, who left Celtic but is now captain of our country. He's captain because he got real football at a good level, and afterwards a brave manager took him to Dundee United - then he went on to flourish.
Read the full story Video - Barcelona plot five major signings to help 'alone' Messi - Euro Papers01:15 Foden set for England call-up Ahead of Euro 2020 this summer, the Telegraph believes that Phil Foden will get his first call-up to the full England team. The 19-year-old made his 10th start for Manchester City this season during their win over Aston Villa in Sunday’s League Cup final, and he could be given the chance to play against Italy and Denmark later in March, according to the Telegraph.
The hosts go to this game in 19th place and on 31 points while Arsenal have so far managed 53 points and placed 10th in the standings. Villa must win their remaining two matches to ensure they survive and have been on a rise in their last two matches, beating Crystal Palace before drawing with Everton.
The away team have not won at this ground in their past 5 visits, they have scored here at times and have looked good playing their best football. The thing for them is they are not scoring enough goals at this place to really have chance to upset the home team who seem to always have the answer when playing at home. This match could once again be a home team win, they have done well here against this away team and have scored a lot. The double chance with handicap looks much safer for this match between the teams
If they have problems in school or in other parts of their lives, we want to solve them. We have social workers here. We don't just choose our coaches because of their training skills but because they have wider abilities," said Ricken. As Borussia Dortmund have the highest average attendance in Europe - almost 80,000 - and were ranked 12th in the latest Deloitte Money League released in January, a single trophy - the German Cup - since Klopp won the double in 2012 seems a poor return.
He plays for Sheffield United, he doesn’t play for Manchester United. It is a premature debate to have. He’s a good goalkeeper but there’s a long, long way to go before we need to change the first-team goalkeeper and then look for someone else to come in. SUPPORTIVE OF SOLSKJAER The Dane was, as was to be expected, supportive of Solskjaer's efforts to revive United fortunes and the sort of success the club enjoyed under Alex Ferguson.
It just reminds me of why you are out there, who you are doing it for. My son's optimistically says 'score a goal Daddy' although I'm not sure if it was worth the price of the tile. That wee ritual was needed that day. When the game started I remember looking round at the clock as you're checking to see how much was left. The first time it was at 11 minutes. What followed was a tense first half with Marvin Johnson going close for the home side, Marius Zaliukas spurning arguably the best chance for the visitors by hoofing over from close range and Rangers' Lee McCulloch being struck by a flag pole from the home end.
Last season's tally of 49 points now appears a very realistic target with nine games remaining after another solid performance which typified Hodgson's spell at Selhurst Park to date and perhaps even sees Palace trade safety concerns for unlikely dreams of European football. Recent back-to-back 1-0 wins against Newcastle and Brighton epitomised the no-nonsense style with which Hodgson's Palace have repeatedly steered clear of trouble and this showing was no different as centre-backs Gary Cahill and Scott Dann protected Guaita with unrelenting determination.
Adelaide United will host Melbourne Victory for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this league. However, the hosts are in better shape in recent times. They have three consecutive victories. In previous game Adelaide is won 1-3 against weak Central Coast Mariners. Also, we have Melbourne Victory who's is a outsider in this game. Visitors have less potential. They have only 1 victory in this campaign. In any case, this will be tense match for both sides. I think, the hosts will closer to victory. They want to continue to the winning track.
The problem with the Ajax model of course is that it is all well and good putting together this brilliant young team together but you are vulnerable once it starts getting ripped apart. This is something that Huijnen points as if Ajax start selling again it might lead to more departures plus they want to try and keep ahold of their manager.
VAR, was it offside?! IT'S GIVEN! Bournemouth are ahead and boy do Chelsea have their work cut out now. GOAL! Bournemouth 2-2 Chelsea (Alonso): Has Alonso rescued Chelsea from an embarrassing defeat?! Ramsdale can only parry Pedro's shot into the Spaniard's path and he heads home the rebound.

Ahead of their clash at the Emirates on Saturday, 10th placed Arsenal trail 6th placed Sheffield United by four points in the Premier League standings – a January scenario that few would have envisaged before the start of the 2019/20 campaign.
Silence spread through the King Power as Vardy - who has scored 17 goals and picked up four assists this season - received treatment on the pitch before attempting to run it off. He lasted barely two minutes when he returned and was eventually substituted for striker Kelechi Iheanacho. Rodgers said after the game Vardy's injury was "not his hamstring, which is good".
But 26 games and 11 months later, the Paraguay international still hadn't found the net, or even registered an assist. To his credit, though, Steve Bruce kept faith in the 25-year-old and in defending him in his pre-match conference, the Newcastle head coach insisted a first goal was only around the corner.
Bishops Stortford and East Thurrock will face each other in the upcoming match in the Isthmian League Premier Division. Bishops Stortford this season have the following results: 6W, 1D and 11L.

The 15 votes required from the bottom rungs will be won easily enough. The battleground is the Championship. Eight of the 10 clubs are required to vote for the resolution. Partick Thistle are not voting for it. That means the SPFL board need eight votes from nine clubs.
