To have the crowds we have is wonderful, and we can't ever take that for granted, but the question to all of us at the club is can we pack the stadium to the rafters? "It starts with results on the pitch, but I hope a gesture like this will help us to fill the place because St. James' Park in full voice is a force to be reckoned with.
It wasn't done for a 'well done, you're the first club to do it'. It was done out of thinking ahead and thinking what is best for the club and the community. With the Premier League at a standstill, footballers are facing pressure to accept wage cuts. The players union, however, questioned the league's call for a 30% player wage reduction, saying it would reduce tax revenue for the National Health Service.
Here Crouch explains what impressed him most about Fernandes, and why he has already made such an impact at Old Trafford. He also explores the part forwards Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood have played in United's upturn in form, but warns there is still improvement needed in other areas if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are going to finish in the Champions League places. How Fernandes has lifted Old Trafford Bruno Fernandes played a part in all three United goals against Watford and made a total of four key passes against the Hornets.
Whilst there is still plenty of sides separating them from another spell in regional football, the hosts will be concerned about their inability to keep their opposition at bay as their last five league matches has seen them concede a massive 19 goals. It is a problem which has plagued them for the entire season and with a recent record like that, seeing them at the bottom of the goals conceded charts with 52 goals conceded is no shock.
Arsenal aren’t exactly flying high either, but a new optimism has emerged after the appointment of Mikel Arteta. The former Gunner has spent years training for this moment under the expert eye of Pep Guardiola, and Boxing Day will see him take charge of his first ever Arsenal game.
They dropped two points in the 10 games after Rangers won at Celtic Park. They scored 34 goals in those games, putting three on Kilmarnock (twice), Ross County and St Johnstone, four on Hamilton and Motherwell and five on St Mirren and Hearts. Their big players, performing with the hunger of men who'd never won a thing in their lives, delivered under pressure. Odsonne Edouard scored nine times in those last 10 games, Leigh Griffiths found himself again and netted seven, Callum McGregor scored six.
Newcastle manager Steve Bruce said he had followed Bentaleb, who was dropped from the Schalke first team for disciplinary reasons last March, from the player's time at Spurs. He's played at the highest level now for the last four or five years but he will come in hungry and feeling he has something to prove and will give us the competition we obviously need," he said.
It seems a long time ago now but it is only a week since the Premier League released a statement saying all last weekend's games were going ahead. That situation changed within hours when Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta tested positive for coronavirus. BBC Sport was told by one source that in a similar situation following the resumption, the idea would be for either a single match to be postponed or the competing club would use the players they had available.

When they faced each other the last time Lille won that game after a good fight 5:1 in a thrilling fashion. Lille had a very good start of the season, as they may have expected. Currently, they are sitting at the 5th place with 19 points and an 18:13 goal difference. They are both scoring and conceding goals in every game they play. Last season they played very well away from home and they have maintained that in this season. They have quality in their squad to stay on top and that is exactly what they are doing. Their most important player is Jonathan Ikone who will try to make something happen for them. All of their players should be ready to contribute.
The entire team and coaching staff, along with the backroom staff, tested on Thursday for Covid-19," the statement added. FC Koln will not confirm any names out of respect for the privacy of those affected. Training can continue as planned, according to the hygiene and infection control measures that have been in place since 6 April in group training. The prerequisite for this is that the relevant group of people are tested further, as stated for in the medical concept of the 'Taskforce Sports Medicine/Special Game Operation' from the DFL.
The numbers could be regarded as outliers because a portion of the matches were available on Sky's free TV and not only on their subscription channels. But the restart has paid off for the company, which continues to adjust the broadcasts, experimenting with artificial crowd noises to combat the silence. Everyone from the club officials to the television directors knows that the current situation can only be temporary because crowds are one of the Bundesliga's biggest assets.

Q&A: What does extension mean for English football?Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, the 45-year-old Sky Sports pundit added: "I said no on this about three or four weeks ago because I felt that it takes away from the essence of football. I also felt that EFL (English Football League) clubs and non-league clubs would suffer too much from the revenue loss and it would put them under. At the moment, the behind closed doors idea has got to come only after the health priority.
Tuesday will be the second time Critchley has overseen a first-team match this campaign after taking charge of December's Carabao Cup tie at Aston Villa while Klopp was with the senior squad at the Club World Cup in Qatar. Immediately after the 2-2 draw at the Montgomery Waters Meadow on 26 January, Klopp said he and the first team would not be at the replay before saying the club were honouring a letter from the Premier League sent in April 2019 and "nothing would change" if they played the game.
While it is true Aris does not have many wins on the road in the first league in Greece this season they are coming with great morale defeating the champions from PAOK even with 4-2 at home last round in the league and they do have some interesting foreign players at their disposal, shame for them they were defeated early in the Europa League this season by Molde from Norway, but they had an excellent last season and qualified for the Europa League something that they are aiming for this season as well either through the cup or the league.

In total, City’s squad value has dropped from around £1. Premier League leaders Liverpool have lost the second largest amount, with an estimated £205m wiped off the value of their players, including the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk. Norwich City are estimated to have suffered the least losses, with their squad value dropping by £21m £119m. That is primarily because a number of their most valuable players - including Todd Cantwell, Max Aarons, Ben Godfrey and Jamal Lewis - were all born after 1998.

The 24-year-old has scored 12 goals in all competitions in an injury-hit season but has just one in the last six matches as United struggle for goals in the absence of striker Marcus Rashford, who is nursing a stress fracture in his back. He's giving us everything. He's been asked to play -- he has started the last eight games -- and running probably 20% more than he did when I came here," Solskjaer told reporters.
Hewitt: "We got a lot of messages and congratulations from people and, when we got back to Chesterfield, people were lining the streets to welcome us back. When we left Manchester and came back through Stockport we were stopped at some traffic lights and people came pouring out of a pub and gave us a round of applause. It was amazing. The club took us away on holiday to Jamaica after our achievements that season so we ended up watching the final together in a hotel at 9am.

Chances came for Bielsa's side towards the end but in truth it was a frustrating first hour which led to them having to chase the game, with Luton arguably deserving to come away from an empty Elland Road with something to show for after a dogged display. Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa (right) often cut a frustrated figure on the touchlineReactionLeeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa: "It is a pity for us because we lost five points that weren't difficult to win.
The three options are to start again in mid-May, in June or at the end of June. There is also the possibility of starting again at the beginning of the next [season], starting the following one later. We will see the best solution for leagues and clubs. Ceferin says that playing remaining games behind closed doors would have to be an option across Europe. It's hard for me to imagine all the matches behind closed doors, but we still don't know whether we'll resume, with or without spectators," he said.

She went on loan to Liverpool and she was like a different player when she came back. She has every element you want as a striker. She can hold the ball up, she is strong, she is quick and her finishing has improved loads. To do it for Chelsea and have the confidence to keep doing it when someone like Sam Kerr joined in January. Some players can crumble at that pressure. And I still think there is a lot more to come.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1Nathan's prediction: I actually have this weird feeling Arsenal will nick it, but I can't really go against Liverpool. Villa lost home and away to the Reds but gave a good account of ourselves in both games, and were 1-0 up after 86 minutes at Villa Park in November before losing 2-1. One of my best mates is a Liverpool fan and I was hammering him with texts the whole game, until the very end.

Pogba's agent Mino Raiola told an Italian newspaper that he would no longer send his players to United - "a club out of touch with reality" - and that they would even ruin the career of "Diego Maradona and Pele" if they moved to Old Trafford now. When asked if agents should be offering their opinions on clubs, Solskjaer said: "No.
Athletic, who beat champions Barca earlier this season, gave an astute performance in defence and also gave their hosts a few scares, with Kenan Kodro having a goal ruled out for offside and Inaki Williams forcing Thibaut Courtois to make a diving save. It was Real's third draw in a row after 1-1 and 0-0 stalemates away to Valencia and Barca.
Tomlinson admits there are concerns but adds: "It is a billionaire's playground at that level and that is nothing we can bear any degree of responsibility for in terms of ownership. In an ideal world from my perspective, Newcastle United would be owned by the people, by the fans of the city as a community asset. We've seen reports like this before but it seems like we are further down the line this time in terms of ending that 13-year tenure of Mike Ashley which everyone wants to see the end of.
Liverpool keeper Jerzy Dudek saves Andriy Shevchenko's penalty to clinch a 3-2 shoot-out victory for the Reds. Serginho had fired Milan's first penalty over and Dudek denied Andrea Pirlo before Jon Dahl Tomasson and Kaka both scored for the Italian side.

Sheyi Ojo - drafted in to replace Joe Aribo - jinked inside from the right in the 16th minute and fired towards goal with a left-foot shot. However it sailed wide of the far post. Fifteen minutes later, after a free-kick and stramash in the box, Arfield made his own attempt with a half-volley from the edge of the area but it, too, went wide of the mark, via a deflection.
Before the decree and the quarantine of the country (March 9, note), we came out of a weekend where everyone was outside, walking, going in the parks . Not everyone understood the gravity of the moment. Now, I think everyone understands what we are going through, there are 2,000 dead in the country, including 1,200 just for the region of Lombardy, which is the epicenter.
Crouch: I remember one particular scenario when I have gone to Portsmouth. I thought 'I'm not going through this again where I sign for a new club and don't score for so many games'. Jermain Defoe went round two, chipped the goalkeeper, hit the crossbar and it bounced down. I headed it in, it was close whether it was already over the line, but I ran to the fans so everyone knew it was my goal. Jermain was celebrating the goal as well.
Malmo FF has a good result from first leg, they are defeated by one goal difference, 2-1, but today they will play in front of their fans, and no doubt, their players will be extra motivated to make a good result in this duel. Wolfsburg has a long list of unavailable players, and they will probably to change their tactic, so probably they will play with two attackers, Weghorst and Brekalo. Malmo has showed a good defensive skill in first leg, and I am sure they will more to look on their defense than in attack, visitors will not play risky, a low scoring game without winner sounds as realistic result for this duel.
It was their 11th clean sheet of the campaign and helped them open up a 13 point gap on Atletico, leaving their rivals at their lowest ebb since Diego Simeone took over in 2011.

Why is Gareth Bale behaving like he is at Real Madrid?Gareth Bale: How Real Madrid superstar became a Wales legendBale has scored more than 100 goals and won four Champions League titles at Real Madrid but his future has been under intense scrutiny lately, owing much to his fractious relationship with Zidane. The coach insisted Bale's omission from the team's final game of the season against Leganes was a "technical decision" but their exchanges have not always been so diplomatic.
Some club officials privately back the public view of PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor that the next two seasons should be played exclusively in 2021 and 2022, with the latter terminating before the World Cup in Qatar. Admittedly, it is not entirely clear how 2022-23 would work, nor how European club competitions and the delayed European Championship and Nations League would fit into that schedule.
Since the band kicked off, I am much more of an occasional five-a-side player - we had a kickaround in the park this week actually - but I'm still a massive fan of grass-roots football and a huge supporter of the men's and women's game. Women's football has made such amazing leaps and bounds in the past few years and I am really disappointed to see it is not coming back after the season was halted early by the coronavirus pandemic.

But while Smith received the reaction from his players he had hoped for, there was more head scratching from Sean Dyche as Burnley produced another poor defensive display in the first half. Twice, Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood gave the ball away in his own half, leading to chances for Douglas Luiz and Wesley. And James Tarkowski was out-muscled far too easily as Wesley was allowed to turn and shoot in the box in the first half, before a poor clearance from the same centre-back led to Grealish's disallowed goal.
Bank loans of 33 million euros were subsequently added to the liabilities due to technical covenant breaches. Delaney, who remains a member of UEFA's executive committee, left the FAI completely in September after being on gardening leave for months.
