I have played 77 games and scored 32 own goals. Some weeks can be a struggle to get numbers but we always manage. There are no Messis in our squad, plenty of Phil Jones. Miss a game it's £5 if you cancel on the day. Some of the excuses you get crack you up, like the time one of the young lads said he was locked in his toilet and couldn't get out or the time my co-manager said he couldn't find his favourite Arsenal training top so couldn't play.
In a weekend with four live Championship games, it’s odd that this clash has been left off the schedule. The meeting between West Brom and Brentford is set to be huge, especially with the visitors now into the top four in the Championship.
He may not be the finished article either side are craving, but he'll certainly get more minutes to improve and showcase his undoubted talent.

Less than prophetic words. Liverpool lost to Leverkusen, then came up short in the title race. It was never quite the same again. The Reds won another League Cup under Houllier, beating Manchester United in the 2003 final, but progress had stalled when he left at the end of 2003-04. So near and yet so far - until now Rafael Benitez took Liverpool to two Champions League finals, winning one, but his best league finish was second place in 2009Every August it is the same question: are you tipping Liverpool again this year?It all goes back to a fateful pre-season prediction made in August 2009 on these pages that Liverpool would end a 20-year wait for the title.
Rosenborg and Ranheim will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eliteserien in Norway. Rosenborg this season have the following results: 13W, 10D and 6L.

Scotland winger Ryan Fraser admits he has not "played for the team" in the first half of troubled Bournemouth's Premier League season. The 25-year-old also said he apologised to team-mates after being affected by links with Arsenal last summer. Bournemouth sit 18th in the table, with Fraser contributing just one goal and three assists. I felt bad about it - this last month I've been trying to put it right," he told BBC Radio Solent.
Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick and became the top-scoring foreign player in Premier League history as Manchester City hammered Aston Villa 6-1 at Villa Park.

It's no coincidence that De Gea's recent form and general demeanour in United's goal have coincided with his team's improved performances. A goalkeeper is only as good as the players around him and on the odd occasion slightly better. Did you know? De Gea has kept a clean sheet in seven of his past nine games in all competitions. Defenders - Ben Mee (Burnley), Harry Maguire (Man Utd), Benjamin Mendy (Man City) Maguire: This wasn't the greatest FA Cup-quarter final I've ever seen but it was in sharp contrast to the performance Harry Maguire gave against Spurs in the Premier League draw at Tottenham.

Paper Round's view: Could Arsenal's captain really jump ship mid-season? An offer from Barca would certainly test his resolve, but you would feel a summer move is far more likely. Plus, even with £50m quoted in the Telegraph's piece, you would imagine Arsenal would demand much more in January. Slimani wants United move Leicester City striker Islam Slimani has asked to cut his loan move Monaco at Monaco short amid interest from Manchester United, the Daily Mail reports.
We've played 37 games and for 36 of the games we've not been in the bottom three," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. We've then played Middlesbrough in our last game, we got beat and they climbed above us and we fell into the bottom three for the first time all season. Our next game was against Hull away, who had a lot of injuries and were on the slide, and I would've fancied us to go up there on the Saturday and get the win, but then it got called off.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, on the penalty awarded to Manchester United: "I can 100% see that [Aston Villa manager] Dean Smith is struggling to accept what happened last night. It should just be the right decision. What I don't understand is overruling is so complicated that it must be a clear and obvious mistake. It's difficult but I didn't think last night was too difficult. It's obviously not good.
Neymar has always been a top level player and different to the rest. He is unpredictable, he takes players on and he scores lots of goals. On a sporting level Neymar is one of the best in the world and I'd love for him to come back. Neymar formed a mesmeric partnership with Messi and Luis Suarez for three seasons, including winning a remarkable treble in 2015.

His unshakeable reverence for the beautiful game earned him the admiration of team mates and opponents alike. Bobby was my football idol. I looked up to him. I was so proud to have played against him," German great Franz Beckenbauer once said of Moore.

So this game they have to be careful and play to their best to gain the 3 points.
The fourth round fixture pits a team battling the immediate threat of relegation against one trying to climb out of mediocre depths. The Cherries have had an extremely testing campaign. Long-serving boss and club legend Eddie Howe has never been under as much pressure. A 3-1 win over Brighton last weekend let out some air but Bournemouth remain 18th, albeit only on goal difference.
I watched the guests Neman first lose in 10 men away from home at Isloch Minsk with 1-0 but while playing 11 vs 11 men they had some good scoring chances and were quite dangerous up-front, they have some pacey wingers that I noticed and overall the men up-front find their shots on target, so they might as well get on the scoring sheet here after winning 2-0 at home last round with Vitebsk game where they could have scored more but settled to save their energy for this game once going 2-0 up in the second half.

Nathan is a fantastic signing for us, a player we've been committed to for a long time," said Eagles chairman Steve Parish.
Wolfsburg is away from the champions league race but still they are on 6. Position on the table and they could secure Europa league spot, they are in great form they beat Leverkusen 1-4 on the road in last game and at home they are very strong with 5 wins on last 7 home games so I surely expect from them to beat Frankfurt,Frankfurt is in bad form especially defensive and they are just two points above relegation zone but this is not good opponent for them to try to get away from there so I think we should all use this high odd on Wolfsburg!
Cardiff City ended the season in fifth place, eight points behind their opponents, fourth-placed Fulham. Cardiff looked as if they might miss out on a top six finish after losing two games in a row. They fought back well though with each of their last three matches in the Championship being won. Eight goals were scored in those games, though two were against struggling Middlesbrough and Hull City, who ended up bottom of the table.
However, that assumes that the country will be able to restart with either fully functioning or sufficient infrastructure. Given the Chinese Super League remains suspended from the start of the year, that could prove to be too optimstic a timeframe. Give Liverpool the trophy and enforce relegation standings A final option would be to cancel the rest of the league, but enforce the current standings as if the league had been completed.
From start to finish, the move took around 10 seconds. It was the goal Ronaldo's performance deserved.

This felt like realisation setting in. Van Dijk and Salah send Liverpool 16 points clearEveryone can celebrate the situation apart from us - KloppLiverpool fans who have been holding back on the belief the long wait is over sounded like they no longer needed convincing. They finally knew they would be back on the perch former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson took such pleasure in removing them from.
Rashford, who has not played since 15 January, has scored 14 goals in the top flight this term, while Kane has 11 league goals. I'm realistic," added Southgate. I think with Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford, they've both had serious injuries, but both of them will do everything within their power to get themselves fit and ready and available for us in the summer. The first priority for both of them is to get back playing for their clubs.
