That's what he was supposed to do. He wasn't on a charity mission at Tynecastle. Hearts owed him nothing. I don't think anyone represents the club better than me," he added. Berra is a good guy and a fine ambassador, but Stendel needs a lot more than that in the battles ahead. He [Stendel] will say it [the decision to cut him loose] is for football reasons, it's up to him, but you'll never know the truth," the defender added.
New Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho says he will not make the same mistakes at Spurs that he did in previous managerial roles. The Portuguese replaced Mauricio Pochettino on Wednesday, ending an 11-month spell out of management following his sacking by Manchester United. Mourinho described himself as humble in his first news conference as Spurs boss, saying he spent his time away from football analysing his career.
Play like Dele'. England international Alli has struggled with injury and poor performances which have seen him fall out of favour with Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate. But former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Mourinho says the midfielder has the potential to be a "fantastic player". Now I have to create a tactical situation he is happy with, give him the right dynamics and prepare him physically well because he has had important injuries and he is not on the top of his form," added Mourinho.
Balotelli’s ‘why always me?’ Mario Balotelli's 'why always me' celebration has gone down in Premier League folkloreMario Balotelli’s bathroom was set alight after a firework was launched in his house in October 2011, two days before the Manchester derby. Balotelli scored the opener in City’s 6-1 win at Old Trafford and lifted up his jersey to reveal a t-shirt asking ‘Why always me?'. Probably because you’re always doing mad stuff, Mario.
It is also very likely that Premier League clubs will be keen to sign him. ESTIMATED COST: £37M 34: Donyell Malen (PSV) WHY HE COULD MOVE Malen looks certain to leave PSV this summer and there will be no shortage of clubs in the market for this superb young striker. He has scored 17 goals in 25 games this season and even though an injury stopped him in his tracks in December, all the big clubs in Europe are on alert.
Hertha lost at the weekend, though it's easy to feel that they were hard done by. Defensively, Pu00e1l Du00e1rdai's men probably did give too much away, as they shipped 1.63 expected goals, though their attacking efforts merited more, as they recorded a pleasing 2.19 expected goals for and easily outshot their opponents. A repeat of that attacking effort on Wednesday could easily see the hosts emerge with a better result, especially if Bayern defend as they did last time out.
He will, however, be a very popular goalscorer among Blades fans who appreciate the hunger and work ethic he brings to every performance. And, despite that lack of goals, his sharpness was in evidence when he pounced midway through the first half. Mason Mount lost the ball for Chelsea, Kepa somehow kept out McBurnie's deflected volley but McGoldrick followed up to lash home the opening goal. He then got a well-deserved second with 13 minutes to go as his driving run created an opening and he was in the right place to bury the loose ball.
Transfer deadline day LIVE - United try for Ighalo, Bowen set for PL move, Real rule out Bale exit All the deadline day moves: Latest confirmed transfers in Europe's biggest leagues United's striker search had led them to talks with Bournemouth over Josh King, but a disagreement about the fee made that look increasingly unlikely as the transfer window's deadline day developed.
What has been invested?" Ferdinand, who won six Premier League titles and one Champions League at United between 2002-2014, told BT Sport. These young kids now in schools around the country, they are not going to be wearing Manchester United shirts. They are not going to be wanting to come here and support Manchester United based on what you are seeing out there. It's just not going to happen, fans are walking out after 84 minutes.

Paper Round’s view: This is an awkward one and the progress of the disease needs to be monitored. Footballers are first and foremost human beings, but they are also entertainers and with so much of the country grinding to a halt, so many people who are locked up in their homes could use the boost of watching their favourite teams play.
MAN OF THE MATCH Marcus Rashford (Man United). His first goal may look like a goalkeeping error at first glance, but the way he struck the ball made it very difficult for Gazzaniga and Rashford demonstrated supreme technique on a number of occasions as he peppered the Spurs goal early on. When they were dominant, most of United’s good moments came through him and the Tottenham defence never looked comfortable against him.
I see here very easy home win for Celtic who is this season must play much series, than it was the case in some earlier seasons, because their biggest rival - Rangers is also excellent this season and they are lost in last big derby against them 1-2 at home. Celtic against Ross County is not had any problems in last few months. As a guests, they are beat them very easy even 4-1, and at home, two and half months ago, more than easy - this time it was even 6-0. Yes, that is reason why I will take this asian handicap.

I also related to his situation personally because a couple of years earlier my son Jayden had gone into hospital and had been on a ventilator, and I'd had a peek into what his parents go through every single day. I was meant to push him out in his wheelchair but I just wanted to pick Joseph up and take him with us. He was not just our mascot, he was one of us and the courage he had shown epitomised our togetherness and belief as a team.
Will Forest be able to pull off a victory to make it three wins on the spin? They have been mixed at the City Ground so far this term, but Rovers could throw them a lifeline. The visitors have a string of poor results on the road against the league’s top sides, which should open the door for the hosts to claim all three points.
The Portuguese returned from injury to start Juve's 1-0 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday but the 34-year-old has hit a slump in form by his sky-high standards after failing to score in his last four games for the Turin giants. Champions Juve, who host Sassuolo on Sunday as they look to maintain their one-point lead over Inter Milan at the top of Serie A, will have Ronaldo available -- and Sarri would not be surprised to see a champion's response from the Portuguese.

For the remainder of the first half, City were not at their best, but came out after the interval with added impetus, taking the lead in 51st minute through Gabriel Jesus - the Brazilian's sixth goal in five matches against Everton. That soon became seven in five as Jesus drilled home Riyad Mahrez's pass seven minutes later to make it two, only for stand-in City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to gift Everton a way back into the match as Richarlison scored with 19 minutes left.

It is pivotal to note that both teams have not been scoring as many goals Banfield scoring 6 in the last five games to huracan’s 5 in the last five games

It is not quite a bad idea of betting on over 3.5 goals but I lost enough time, money as well by taking the big odds instead of the safe bets over the past year, and will try a new tactic. Main reason for this bet is the fact that they met 3 times this season in the league at Al Wahda the hosts won 3-2 the game but Al Jazira played in 10 men and still scored a goal.
By making a general assertion about the responsibility of players in the recent sacking of Valverde and by not naming names, he said Abidal was effectively tarring everyone with the same brush. Actually, the truth is Messi wanted Valverde to stay but did not get his way. I don't know what went through his head when he said what he said but I responded because I felt attacked," said Messi who reacted as a hurt person but also as a captain.

Abidal had claimed that Barca’s players had contributed to Ernesto Valverde’s sacking by not working hard, prompting the following from Messi: "When you talk about players, you have to give names because if not, it gives air to things which are not true.

The Scottish FA and SPFL will ask the Scottish government for permission to start next season on 1 August. Sports minister Joe Fitzpatrick will meet the heads of the major sporting bodies on Friday to discuss how each plans to restart.

Playing non-contact outdoor sports will be allowed in Scotland from Friday.
The short version is that, after Neymar was ludicrously booked for attempting a rainbow in their game against Montpellier at the weekend (or more specifically was booked for complaining about being told not to do that by the referee), the lads headed out on the town, going out to celebrate Neymar’s birthday at a venue near the Eiffel Tower.
A massive 18 points separate the two sides, with second placed Marseille on 52 and Nantes, in 12th place, have 34 points.

The Gunners also pledged to donate £100,000 to local organisations and a further £50,000 will go towards a COVID-19 Crisis Fund. The Arsenal Foundation has joined forces with HIS Church to deliver 15 tonnes of emergency supplies into Islington," the club said in a statement. This initiative forms part of our wider community response to COVID-19, which has seen Arsenal in the Community staff volunteer to transport frontline NHS workers.
Jonathan Ikoné could be the latest player to help fill the club’s coffers. The forward, 21, has struggled to sustain the performance level that drew wide admirers last season but made his debut for the French national team in September and his stock remains high. WHO IS INTERESTED? Lyon were put off by Lille’s excessive asking price over the summer but could be tempted should Lille president Gérard Lopez lower said demands.
Aguero was forced off in the final 15 minutes against the Blues with a tendon injury, and City had initially feared a long lay-off. The problem is not as serious as first feared, however, though the Argentinean will still be absent when the champions face their great rivals on 7th December. A few games, I don't know exactly," said Guardiola.

Fulham may be big favorite to win this game as after all they have better players just playing in Premier League last season before they got relegated back to Championship but they are really not that stable in defense, not that Derby is a great away team as in fact they failed to score in their last 3 away games but conceded goals and lost all those games but this time they should be able to score as Fulham is weak in defense.

Otherwise, his poorest start to a campaign was when he collected 37 points after 16 games in 2011-12. That was his fourth and final season with Barcelona. Those are the only two seasons to date in which Guardiola has not won the league title as an active manager, and it's looking increasingly likely he will miss out again come May next year. Granted, you can never say never in football. Saturday's derby defeat by rivals United was also the first time under the 48-year-old that City have lost two home league games in a season.

With four clean sheets recorded and just three goals conceded in their seven matches at San Mames this term, Bilbao have the defensive strength and nous to cope with a Granada side that have been fairly prolific scorers since their promotion (20 goals netted in 14 games) and they can also expose Nazaries frail backline (14 conceded in seven away) with goals of their own beginning to flow steadily in recent matches.
Says Knight: "This isn’t what [the Coronavirus Relief Scheme] is designed for. It’s not designed to effectively allow them to continue to pay people hundreds of thousands of pounds, while at the same time furloughing staff on hundreds of pounds.
