The only thing I want for them is positive and good things.
That was before Bayern Munich moved to within a point with a 5-0 win over Schalke 04 in the evening game. Timo Werner nearly gave Leipzig an eighth-minute lead at the Waldstadion and it looked only a matter of time before the visitors would break through as Christopher Nkunku and Marcel Sabitzer repeatedly carved open the home defence.
It was the Sierras Hotel in Alta Gracia, around 30km from Cordoba. We were two to a room, it was just a room with a bathroom, there were no windows or anything. The food wasn't organised, it was just whatever got put in front of you. The training ground we went to was an absolute shambles as well. You were practically confined to your room watching foreign television. To be fair, we did have a full-sized swimming pool with a dome covering it, it was just a shame there was no water in it.
Peter Bonetti (left) was one of three goalkeepers in England's 1966 World Cup winning squad, along with Gordon Banks (centre) and Ron Springett (right)Following all these years of consistency, which included playing in the 1967 FA Cup final defeat by Tottenham at Wembley, Bonetti's greatest glory lay ahead. His finest hour came arguably in the 1970 FA Cup final. After producing a magnificent individual display to defy a rampant Leeds United in a 2-2 draw at Wembley, he battled through the pain of an early injury in the replay, sustained in an aerial collision with Mick Jones, to play a huge part in Chelsea's 2-1 win, secured via David Webb's injury-time goal.
He's come through the last two days on the field very well and I'm very confident he'll be involved.

We've just got to stay calm.

Music is my therapy'Some free agents, such as former Cardiff City striker Omar Bogle, are focusing on the positives. The 26-year-old has been making his own music and now has the inspiration to record a song about being a free agent. I'm going to be a treasure for somebody else, for another club and another manager. I enjoyed my time at Cardiff, made some great friends and met some great people," says Bogle.
Anthony Martial’s ingenious chip made it 2-0 shortly after, and from then on United were in control of the game.

Lyngby will host Odense for this fixture of the league. Both teams are teams of the relegation group. In my opinion, the visitors are in better shape than their opponent. In previous game Odense is won 2-0 against Sonderjyske. True, Odense is not very good team away from home. In any case, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Lyngby who's is weak team in this campaign. Lyngby have a poor results in the last matches. Also, the hosts have a vulnerable defense. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I think, the visitors will closer to victory.

Spurs will have had a couple of months of Mourinho, which is generally the recommended amount. Atalanta will be pressure-free and free-scoring. And Dortmund might have moved Lucien Favre on by the new year. But the two Madrid teams are floating around ominously: they may not be in vintage form, but Real Madrid win games in Europe they’ve absolutely no right to, while Atleti are coached by Diego Simeone.

Carlo Ancelotti could easily be referred to as "The Perfector" - the man an already successful team brings in to take them one step further and win the coveted grand trophies reserved for the very best.

Michael O'Neill has permanently left his role as Northern Ireland manager after eight years in charge. O'Neill was set to lead Northern Ireland into March's postponed Euros qualifier with Bosnia-Herzegovina. However with Uefa proposing to reschedule the game in the autumn, the 50-year-old will now solely focus on his job as Stoke City manager.

Then I remember we had one month. At one of the international breaks we were third, and then in the first game after we came back, the frustrations from bad results were beginning to make us worse for the following matches. We were losing confidence, and it's also true to say we were losing a bit of stability. The game against Sheffield United [a 1-0 win for the Blades in October] was a turning point.

I don't think having an average score would be fair or right. That's my worst case scenario. That would be the only way. If you look at Aston Villa last year in the Championship - they would probably not have been promoted if it went on average points at this stage, because they got momentum and won a lot of games at the end of the season. A relegation-threatened team could have the chance to get out of it now but an average points system doesn't give them that opportunity.
By playing against Bournemouth, Samatta became the first footballer from Tanzania to play in the Premier League.

We've all got our set routines and all of a sudden that stopped because of something horrible that was happening in the world. I've got three boys and my wife, Amie, and I tried to get into a routine with the kids. We tried to do home schooling with my eldest, Henri, as well as the Joe Wicks online PE classes every morning to keep him active. Wolves have scored 51 Premier League goals this season - nine of which have come from assists by Adama TraoreLosing at Crawley to Europa League final?For much of the past 12 months, Wolves have been relentless with their 3-4-3 formation.
That was us at our best today. I said in the press I wasn't concerned that I hadn't scored. The goals were coming as I have had chances. I hope there is many more to come as it means the world to me. Chelsea manager Frank Lampard: "They were better than us physically, in the mind and with the ball. So you lose the game. They were stronger than us. You feel and hear every noise and all I could hear was Sheffield United voices.
Sutton United will host Hartlepool United for this fixture of the league. I think, the visitors will try to make a positive result on the opposite stadium. However, this will not be an easy task. In any case, Hartlepool are more ambitious team in this season. They probably want to stay in the race for one of the top seven places in the table. Also, we have Sutton who's is very average team in this season. True, Sutton are undefeated in their last 5 home matches. So, I expect, this will be a tense match. I expect, the visitors will try to pick up the victory.
He's been patient and his desire to get back has been really big. When I've not played him he's been disappointed but he has to trust us to look after him. I thought we showed a lot of character - not always composure - but the result was more important than the performance. I feel for Norwich because they played pretty well and we've had to fight very hard.
