Central Coast have an awful scoring record this season, averaging just over 1 goal a game so far and they’ve only managed to score twice or more in the same game three times this season. At the other end they’ve not performed well either, conceding 21 goals in 13 games and struggling to keep clean sheets with just one so far this season.
What is gone is gone and it is back to business with boundless, infectious positivity. What springs to mind is Rudyard Kipling's take on success and failure in his poem 'If'. Unfortunately, in a football context, this has become somewhat synonymous with Ricky Tomlinson's hapless fictional England manager Mike Bassett.
Paper Round’s view: West Ham were prevented from bringing Marko Arnautovic back from the Chinese Super League in part due to the coronavirus spreading across the world, which means that getting Bowen down from the North East was an easier deal. They need goals to come desperately quickly or they may struggle to stay up for next season.
I didn't play until a few years after she [started]. I was normally watching her on the sides. After a while I realised I might as well give it a go," she said. My sister was a big inspiration for me, but she tore both her ACLs and then had to quit. A football career] was something she wanted so I'm trying not only for me, but also for her. At a young age, and where we were in the country, at that level, it was hard for her to get the right treatment to come back from that and risk it.
Ronaldinho, he was the one,” Sterling told BBC Sport. If you see my history on Youtube, I have seen every single clip of his playing career. I used to go into the garden and try to recreate what he’d done, but I couldn’t. I tried to the best to my ability. He was something special. With football likely to remain in shutdown for the foreseeable future, Sterling has been getting his football fix by pulling on a virtual Manchester City shirt and representing the club in ePremier League Invitational Fifa 20 tournament.
They don’t have a regular goalscorer but they have midfield players who can get in there and Lundstram can come off the bench and scored in the last game. Fleck can nick goals as well. For me, it’s not a Manchester United-Chelsea thing. There are at least another two teams who can finish in the Champions League positions.
In October, a study commissioned by the Football Association and the Professional Footballers' Association found that former footballers are approximately three and a half times more likely to die from neurodegenerative disease than the general population. Football's governing bodies are now set to introduce new guidelines in youth football. The English FA suggests a restriction in the amount of heading by under-18 players in training, while the Scottish FA is set to ban under-12s heading the ball during training.
Now that aspiration has been realised, the inspiration is the chance to replicate the experience, or at least something like it. That is what Euro 2020 was meant to be, though that will have to wait until next summer. It remains unclear what life will look like in a year; our existential angst is rooted in not knowing if things will ever be the same again. For Wales fans, perhaps there is a feeling deep down that nothing will be quite like 2016 again.
At this sensitive time, both Erzgebirge Aue and Sandhausen certainly do not want to take the defeat, instead they prioritize earning points to ensure the relegation ticket when the season is only ¼ of the journey is left. Will end. Confronted this week, Erzgebirge Aue were the men who held the advantage in their hands when playing at home to welcome guests. From past history against the current rankings and the club rankings are marginally better than the opponent. That's why Erzgebirge Aue is able to play freely without any pressure and 3 points can be completely in hand. The poorness has made NHM insecure about the team's rankings this season.
Brentford shouldn't be in this position, they should have clinched automatic promotion ahead of West Bromwich Albion. However, the team that had won eight games in a row lost the last two and then the play-off first leg. They now have to turn their season around or it'll be another season in the Championship for them.
Athletic Club II are having a good season so far with a 11-3-5 record after 19 games and are currently on the 3th place in the league. They struggled a couple of weeks ago with only 1 win in 6 matches but have won the last 2 league games without conceding a goal.
And the club's hierarchy appear confident that the change in management will produce immediate results. West Ham chairman David Sullivan said: "David proved in his short time with the club that he was capable of getting results and we believe that he will start moving the club in the right direction once again.
Above all, we're going to go through a dramatic period for French football that will be deprived of its revenue. Best players could go because of financial implications Could Lyon lose Memphis Depay (right) or Moussa Dembele in the transfer window?Aulas says the biggest clubs in the country - PSG, Marseille, Lyon and Bordeaux - will be hit the hardest in terms of revenue from ticketing, sponsorship and television, estimating a total loss of between 300m euros and 400m euros.
Former Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos has retired at the age of 34. Senderos joined Arsenal in 2003 - but missed their unbeaten Premier League title season of 2003-04 with back and foot injuries - and won the FA Cup before moving to Fulham in 2010. He had spells with Aston Villa and Rangers and won 57 Switzerland caps, playing at three World Cups. I couldn't be more thankful for the blessings and opportunities I've had over the years," he wrote on Instagram.
Arsenal, who are without a permanent manager following the sacking of Unai Emery last week, dropped to 10th after they were beaten 2-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday, handing interim boss Freddie Ljungberg his first defeat in his second game. It's strange for Arsenal to be in this situation, over the last 20 years we're used to them being in the Champions League, but that's football," Pellegrini said.
His messaging has already begun, both against Solskjaer and some of the former players who have criticised Pogba. However there are more problems for Pogba. He is still in a very expensive contract with United, who in turn still value him extremely highly. Plus there's that ankle, which is now being operated on but of which the consequences are still unknown.

Basaksehir will be meeting with the away team Gaziantep and this game we have looked at it in a very good way and we have seen that giving a win on the home team will be a very sure bet as looking at the last games that this two teams have meet together the home team have won many games as compared to the away team and so this makes us to be very sure with this prediction
It was about 7am and we thought I'd get an hour or so," he says. But we were woken up at five past eight by bangs on the door and phone calls. I've never been so terrified as when I walked on to that bus and we just got the Walter stare. Teale - like several others - didn't make it to bed at all, and was only in the hotel long enough to hurl the contents of some team-mates' waiting suitcases all over the corridors.
Odegaard joined Real at 16 in 2015, making just one appearance for the first team before embarking on a series of loans, first in the Netherlands and now in the Basque Country, where he is due to stay for another season. The forward has been in fine form, scoring two and setting up three, as Sociedad have made a brilliant start to coach Imanol Alguacil’s first full season at the helm.
Villa are organised, they have a keeper with incredible experience in Pepe Reina, talent and fast players up front, physicality in midfield, good headers as centre-defenders. Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte will not feature in the final and is expected to be out of action for up to a month after sustaining a hamstring injury in the 2-1 win over Real Madrid. Winger Leroy Sane is City's only other major absentee but the German, out since August with knee ligament damage, stepped up his comeback with 57 minutes for the under-23s on Friday.
Maybe signing Partey might be out of their reach for now. Read the full story Willian willing to leave Chelsea for rivals Staying in London, Chelsea winger Willian could be set to leave the west London club for Premier League rivals Arsenal. According to the Sun, the Brazilian could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge for free as his contract expires this summer and Gunners boss Mikel Arteta seems to be sniffing around the capital for a bargain.
Atalanta fans weren't that optimistic of reaching the last eight when failing to win any of their first four games. They have made a great recovery since then and come into this second leg with a three goal advantage. They are scoring goals for fun at present and have a great chance of progressing. Valencia aren't in the best of form and the tip here is for both teams to score.

Following a humiliating loss on New Years’ Day, can Cardiff recover and get things back on track? Saturday sees the Bluebirds’ first home game of 2020, having enjoyed a decent record at their own ground last year. With League Two Carlisle the visitors to the Cardiff City Stadium, Neil Harris and his side are expected to return to winning ways.
But it seems to me that Krumkachi will not win in this match. Or if you want, granite will not lose. Well, firstly, because the first round, and in the first round for all teams, the main thing is not to win, not to lose, so as not to be at the tail of the table with zero points. And secondly, no matter what the layouts before the game, they are still potential, then not only the experts, but even the players and coaches themselves do not fully understand how well they spent the offseason, and what it could lead to on the field. And here, dedication and physical training, coupled with fighting qualities, come into play
Along with the likes of Eddie Nketiah, Joe Willock and Nicolas Pepe, supported by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal might not be looking at mid-table mediocrity after all. Did you know? Saka's goal was his first in the league for Arsenal. Aged 18 years 303 days, he is the second-youngest English player to score in the Premier League for the Gunners, after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain against Blackburn in February 2012 (18 years 173 days).

Ansan Greeners will host Bucheon FC 1995 for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, this is a very unpredictable league. I think, both teams have a chance to get a positive result in this match. Bucheon FC 1995 is the best teams at the start of the new season. They have two consecutive victories. Of course, the visitors will try to continue the winning track. However, I think, this will not be an easy task. Ansan Greeners have highly variable results. However, the hosts have the potential to fighting for the victory. My pick - Ansan Greeners to win.
Once again the visitors responded, with Matt Grimes' clever corner expertly drilled into the roof of the net by right-back Naughton. More soft Swansea defending allowed Wilks to stab in his second goal in three games only seven minutes later, but once again Swansea replied. After Bidwell fed Andre Ayew down the left, his low centre was met by Garrick and he steered in his first Swansea league goal.

But all that means Liverpool should leak goals down his side, and they don’t. So he must be doing something right going backwards, too. In fact, you could probably argue that Alexander-Arnold is Liverpool’s most essential player. Perhaps Van Dijk or Alisson are more important when it comes to getting results.
Dinamo Minsk will try their best to get a win when they visit newcomer Smolevichy. Minsk could not qualify for Europa league place last time out and it was for the first time since 2012. They suffered consecutive defeats in first two matches, then bagged a couple of home wins. They are currently sitting on 12th place. This is only the second season in top division for the hosts. They are yet to salvage a win and managed 3 points from 3 draws, they also drew against Shakhtyor Soligorsk. They are sitting on 15th in the table, and a win here can take them to 6th spot and they might get it.
Disproportionate game if you ask me, Sai Gon is in the top league in Vietnam and have a new coach since March with whom they started the season with a 0-0 draw at home against a tough defensive side like Song but 2nd game against Da Nang on the road where they could find spaces with ease to attack they scored 4 goals and I do believe they even had the lead 4-0 there, their Brazilian striker scoring 2 goals and he should start up-front in this game as well and alongside him playing as a fake striker is another Brazilian, so pretty decent quality for them up-front.
The use of video review has been a source of constant criticism since its recent introduction, including concern about the time to take decisions and the precision with which offsides are judged. The system sparked another controversy last week in the Premier League when Wolverhampton Wanderers had a goal ruled out against Leicester City after Pedro Neto's heel was adjudged to be fractionally offside in the build-up.
The ticket covers 10 league games starting with Everton on Dec. Chelsea (Jan. Tottenham Hotspur (May 2) and league leaders Liverpool (May 17).

New Zealand's government implemented a four-week national lockdown on March 25, with people confined to their homes and only allowed to travel for essential services such as buying groceries or to receive medical care. NZF cancelled their semi-professional national league in mid-March with 13 games remaining in its season.
Last time we saw Torpedo Zhodino beat FC Minsk was in 2018, two years ago. Last 3 matches between these two teams ended in two draws 0 x 0 at Zhodino's and 1 x 1 at Minsk's and the most recent match for the Vysshaya League a win 2 x 0 at this same stadium they play now. If we do the proper maths we can see that FC Minsk is quite overrated by the bookies and the opposite is also true, Torpedo is underrated, there is values here. They are separated only by two point and this will be a hell of a fight. Torpedo to win or draw AH 0.5
Chelsea are still unbeaten in the WSL this season and have not lost in the league since January 2019 but despite being one point behind City with a game in hand, Hayes is making sure her side aren't getting carried away. This is the longest chunk of the season with no break, so it's tough for the players - we have to recognise that they are human," Hayes said.
Scott Allan hooked a high ball into the penalty area and Boyle got between two dithering defenders to meet it with a lovely cushioned volley. Moments later, Melker Hallberg was fortunate to get away with a grapple round the neck of Uche Ikpeazu, with the big Hearts striker strangely muted in his claims for what looked like a nailed on penalty. There have been signs in previous games that Stendel has been trying to implement a high press at Hearts but there was little energy on show from the hosts in a limp first-half showing.

But are they on course for the best season by a newly-promoted team?And who is the most-fouled player in the Premier League and what unwanted statistic do Newcastle own? BBC Sport examines the key stats of the weekend. De Bruyne to deliver best yet?"Not since I saw Zinedine Zidane dominate the European Championship final in 2000 have I seen such a complete performance. BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks summed it up - De Bruyne put in a brilliant display at Emirates Stadium on Sunday as he almost single-handedly destroyed the Gunners.
Thomson recalls three leagues of 14-12-12 being suggested. Then 12-14-14 and 16-12-12. Rangers even went to court to try and rid the SFL of its bottom five clubs and form two 16-team divisions, only to lose their case. Then in 1967 - an otherwise glorious year for the Scottish game - Third Lanark died. A club who had finished third in the top tier as recently as six years earlier were struggling financially as well as on the pitch and, suddenly, there was wider acknowledgement that things needed to change.

Bayern Munich's players and directors have agreed to take a temporary 20% pay cut. The German giants said the move was to help the other employees at the club financially during the current coronavirus crisis. Last week, Borussia Monchengladbach's players were the first in the country to offer to forgo wages. Borussia Dortmund players are also in talks to take a wage cut, newspaper Bild reports. There has been no Bundesliga action since 8 March as the coronavirus outbreak hit sport across the world.
Ladhood is based on Liam Williams' experiences growing up in Garforth. As a Man Utd fan he idolised Ryan Giggs and Eric Cantona - "I wasn't hard in the way Cantona probably is but I could relate to his hot-headedness. Sometimes anger would get the better of me," he explained. But there was a certain poetry to what Eric did and I used to love the way he confused everyone. He is still doing it now actually.
