For me it is very easy," said Arteta. I want to keep him under any circumstances.

But once you separate the emotion from it, you realise that it's football and sometimes football is cruel. It's difficult to do that, though. Even now, 12 months on, I feel a combination of anger at the referee and at VAR and anger that we didn't shut up shop better when we were 3-0 up with 16 minutes to go. We already felt aggrieved because decisions didn't go our way in the first couple of games, and we maybe felt a bit like we didn't really belong at the tournament.
Newcastle have now lost 78 Premier League games as an away side in London, the most defeats of all sides in the competition's history in the capital. Arsenal have kept back-to-back Premier League clean sheets for the first time since April last year, the second of which also came in a victory over Newcastle at the Emirates.

It's true that with smaller teams such as ours your options are perhaps somewhat reduced by the fact that there is more of a difference between those players who usually start and those who don't.
Before the suspension of football, the Premier League game between Burnley and Bournemouth highlighted the confusion with the current distinction between the arm and shoulder, with two contentious handball decisions made by the video assistant referee.

BBC, BT, Premier Sports and Sky pay huge amounts of money to screen football. The latter three use football to drive their subscriptions. If there is no football, what happens to the subscription numbers and, in turn, their ability to pay the contracts. As with so many things, the length of time this shutdown goes on for will determine what happens next. What about payments given to clubs depending on league position - what will they get?Stone: "If the Premier League has its way, they will get the payments they are supposed to get because the season will finish.

MANCHESTER, England, Dec 5 (Reuters) - A week ago there was little about Saturday's Manchester derby to whet the appetite but after statement performances from both teams it suddenly has the feel of 'must watch' football again.

FIFA has urged clubs worldwide to consider wage reductions in order to protect their finances. F. C.

Northampton Town is a club from League 2, and tonight in FA Cup they will face a club from Championship, Derby County. Visitors are strong favorites for a victory, not just because a gap in divisions, but also because of their main star Wayne Rooney, who joined the club in January. If this duel ends with a draw, it will be played second leg, and I am sure Derby coach Phillip Cocu don't want that to happen. Derby not playing too much offensive, Martin will be their attack, but with a Rooney in the squad, I expect from them to win in this duel with more than 1.5 goals

Embrace the underdog' Tyrone Mings is mobbed by fans after Villa's 2-1 extra-time win over Leicester in the semi-finalFor Villa boss Dean Smith, coming up against a team as strong as Manchester City is nothing to fear as his side head to a League Cup final for the first time since 2010.

But we need that income at some stage. If they cancelled the season and said 'no more football' that would have a disastrous effect on our finances because we have got six more [home] games to come. I would fear for a lot of clubs who are probably living very hand-to-mouth and rely on gate receipts. Six of Rochdale's 10 remaining League One games this season are home fixturesBefore confirmation from the Premier League and EFL that elite football would be postponed for the foreseeable future, Portsmouth chief executive Mark Catlin warned that a lack of gate receipts could be "devastating" for some clubs.
