I think he only cares about getting people into the stadium," he said. He didn't sign a striker in the summer when it was obvious we needed one. The football hasn't been great recently but the investment in the squad was not made when we needed it. We have had chances to win trophies in the last few years and not taken them and now there is very little optimism. Mourinho has not historically been one for optimism.
Lyon have been slightly up and down under Rudi García so far with some convincing performances coming against Benfica (3-1) and Metz (2-0) but some very poor results coming in the last few weeks as they lost to Zenit (0-2) and rivals Marseille (1-2). The team is still to really get going under García, probably due to the awful reaction from fans when he was announced as manager in mid-October, and while some of that attacking prowess still remains, their defensive setup is crumbling away to nothing.
GOAL! Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace (Richarlison): It's the perfect response from Everton! A terrific solo goal by Richarlison on the counter-attack. Everton break from their own half, Calvert-Lewin flicks a header into the path of the Brazilian, who embarks on a lung-busting run. Cahill backs off and Richarlison punishes him, drilling the ball into the bottom corner for his 11th goal of the season.
Sporting have won three of their five domestic home games this season as well as both of their group home games in the Europa League, while PSV have lost twice on the road in the Eredivisie and lost their last Europa League away game against LASK. 60% of Sporting’s home games have ended in victory which is above the league average of 41%, while PSV have won just 43% of their away games and have seen 71% of their away games produce over 2.5 goals. 80% of Sporting’s home games this season have produced over 2.5 goals and the Portuguese side have only won and kept a clean sheet in 20% of their matches in front of their own fans, which is why we expect PSv to score on Thursday.

Furthermore, both teams are likely to make it very difficult for the other to break them down. Wolfsburg have currently got the Bundesliga's best defensive record. They have conceded just 13 goals in their 13 games. They have also conceded just five goals in their six Bundesliga away games.
Paper Round's view: It's no surprise that clubs are accepting that they will have to meet Dortmund's demands for Sancho. The 19-year-old is one of the brightest young prospects in world football at the moment, so the Bundesliga side know they can ask for £120m. It was always likely that Sancho would return to the Premier League after taking the risk to leave Manchester City and search for first-team football back in 2017 and it has been widely reported that he was a childhood Chelsea supporter.
Newcastle United had no comment on the reports, with the Newcastle Chronicle reporting that Ashley was currently in Miami. Staveley could not be immediately contacted. Sky reported that the Saudis would hold 80% of the shares, while Staveley would take 10% and play a key role in the running of the club.
Both teams have been in very good shape recently. Especially the Birmingham home team with 9 unbeaten matches in all competitions. On the other hand, the 9 points obtained in the last 3 rounds give Birmingham more excitement. Especially when tonight, they have to welcome a Brentford who is 10 places higher than them in the rankings. Brentford does not own the impressive series as the home team. But they also unbeaten the last 3 rounds in the English Championship, and they only lost 3/10 closest matches in all competitions. Most importantly, this is a great opportunity for them to compete in the top 2 spots. So determination will be extremely overwhelming during this trip of Brentford.
It's so heartening to hear they have chosen to give something back to their local hospital to say thank you for the services both them, and their family and friends have received, and to recognise all the hard work the staff and all at our hospitals are doing at this very difficult time. I would also like to say that gestures like this are testament to the fantastic work that our clinical and support colleagues carry out every day.
Some make sense in hindsight, others not so much. For a league game against Malaga in December 2012, Mourinho dropped Real Madrid's legendary goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who was only 31 at the time, and instead played the relatively unremarkable Antonio Adan. Adan also started the next game - but was sent off, so Casillas won his place back. A month later Casillas fractured his hand and when he had recovered he could not win his place back from new signing Diego Lopez, a keeper of a similar age who has never been considered world class.
Forest Green is in 5th place with 40 points Exeter is in 2nd place with 44 points. I expect a strong match here. Both teams will look for a win here but I predict in this match a draw. Forest Green is a good team especially in home matches and they are a strong opponent for any team. Exeter is making a great season until now and they are between candidates for the promotion and I see them fighting for a win here but also both teams don't want to lose this match. Both teams have qualities and will be a hard match for Exeter but however I predict a draw here.
Smolevichi are yet to win a league game this season. Smolevichi haven't scored from open play since the firs game of the season. BATE have won four of their last five games. BATE Borisov made a poor start to the new season but are now up to third in the Belarus Premier League. They will be looking to get three more points when travelling to Smolevichi who are one from bottom in the table.
But victory against Middlesbrough was followed by a streak of wretched form in which Newcastle won only twice in eight fixtures. When they welcomed Manchester United to St. James' Park in March, their lead at the top of the table had been cut to just four points. Although goalless at half-time, Newcastle had dominated. Just go out there again and show them that we're the better team," Keegan told his players at the break.
I said that about a lot of players,” he said. I have enjoyed watching Barcelona for several years, watching them on television. To be able to manage the best in the world, and his teammates - he has great teammates - I have spoken to him and others. I have always said that the admiration is one thing but reality is different.
Meanwhile, after a terrible performance in a 0-0 home draw against already relegated Avai, Cruzeiro come into this fixture under massive pressure. Indeed, Raposa have been terrible for most of the season and with 5 games left to run, find themselves at real risk of being relegated to Serie B, currently stationed just 1 point above the drop zone.

Liverpool were taken to court by New Balance last year after it was alleged the club was looking to switch to Nike once their existing contract ended in May 2020. Boston-based New Balance, Liverpool's official kit supplier since the 2015-16 campaign, said they should have been allowed to match Nike's offer.
He was ridiculed at the time for such a reaction to a draw against a team of West Brom's status, but he said years later: "I wanted to show that we really are one unit. That means I know I am responsible for the performance, but the people are responsible for the atmosphere. It was the first sign that a bond was developing between Klopp and the club's supporters. Warnock: "I remember watching it and thinking: 'What is he doing?' A draw against West Brom - is that really where he thinks Liverpool are? But it was so much deeper than that, and it set things up for future games at Anfield.

The Premier League season has been suspended until at least April 30 due to the pandemic and clubs across the country have been hit by significant losses in match-day revenue. Newcastle United put non-playing staff on leave and instructed employees to apply for the government's newly-created coronavirus job retention scheme and Bournemouth said they had to take similar drastic measures to protect the club's future.
The Hampshire duo, who occupy the top two spots in Women's National League Division One South West, have one of the most peculiar situations of any local rivals in the country, and they were actually joined by a third club from the city - 'Southampton Saints Girls & Ladies FC' - until the Saints' 40-year history halted as they folded amid financial difficulties in 2019. All of Sunday's Women's FA Cup fixturesRead more: Mystery of missing trophy from first finalBut it is the Romsey-based Southampton Women's FC whose formative years brought remarkable success despite the difficulties that followed the ban on females playing the game enforced by the Football Association.

I think any club captain would say that when you don't play in a game, you feel a bit awkward at the time it comes to get the trophy but Graeme Jones [Wigan's assistant manager] came up to me after the game and said you have been a massive part of this club, go up with Emmerson and lift it together. Gary Caldwell was an unused substitute as Wigan beat Manchester City at Wembley - Emmerson Boyce led the side on the dayEmmerson Boyce: "When the final whistle went, there was a sense of disbelief.
Livingston has only won one of their last five Premiership games at the Tony Macaroni Arena, whilst Kilmarnock shares the same numbers on their trips. Moreover, the visitors have scored in five of their previous six away days, although only scoring a single goal in four of those games. We believe a draw is on the cards here, as neither team has what it takes to beat the other. We're also going for a final score of 1-1, as Livingston has seen under 2.5 goals in their last six home games, with Kilmarnock also netting an average of 0.86 goals on their travels.

Oman Professional League. Team Saham will play at home with team Sohar. My bet will be over 2.5 goals. Saham lost last their 4 matches. And their shape is bad . Sohars shape is some better. But both clubs have very bad defense. Last their own match was ended how 2 - 2. Saham lost last their match how 1 - 5. Two last matches between each other were with 4 goals. Saham at home last match ended how 2 -3 . So , I predict very offensive match with goals from the both sides. And I recommend to try this bet for good odds.
As touched on above, PSG could do without this game, especially as their focus will be on their final league game before the winter break, which takes place only three days after this fixture. Thomas Tuchel is also likely to rotate, so the bet that stands out is 'PSG to Win & Under 4.5 Goals'. Unsurprisingly, PSG have a very good record against lesser sides in the cup, but for all their might, they’ve have scored more than four in their none of their last seven cup matches against lower-level teams. They've kept a clean sheet in five of those seven.
They looked deadly together once more, yet neither was needed to score in the 5-0 thumping. Neil Lennon spoke post-match about his entire side looking ruthless and hungry in the second-half - and that's what will (most likely) be the key difference. Celtic go 10 points clear with ruthless win over Hearts Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Celtic 5-0 Hearts Time to criticise Gerrard?Rangers' title hopes are now hanging by a thread after defeat by Kilmarnock left them 10 points behind Celtic, even though they have played a game fewer than their rivals.
The visitors have won two of 26 away and they come here having conceded in 86% of their away matches. They're going up against a strong, attack-minded side who are picking up results, while Brentford will want to add to a run of 12 goals in six home meetings with the Royals. As a result, we like over 1.5 Brentford goals as our pick for this clash,
De Gea gifted Everton a third minute lead when he casually hung on to the ball, allowing Dominic Calvert-Lewin to close him down and then drilling his attempted clearance into the striker -- with the ball flying into the unguarded net. United got back on level terms with a long-range Bruno Fernandes effort which caught England keeper Pickford out of position.
Emmen have failed to score in 31% of their matches this season and Sparta have failed to score in 25% of their Eredivisie games, making it very possible that one or both teams will fail to find the back of the net on Sunday. The form and performances of both teams heading into this weekends’ clash certainly suggest that a 0-0 draw could be on the cards as neither team is playing their best right now and both sides have failed to score in recent matches.
As they did so, missiles were thrown at them, one of which was handed to Atkinson, who in turn, brought it to the touchline for Marriner to pass to Wolves security staff. It was after that the public announcement came, although this just fuelled anti-VAR sentiment among the Wolves fans, who made their feelings clear by chanting "it's not football any more".

A scaled-down second-tier season of just 18 games - and delaying the season's start until January - will reportedly be discussed further at at meeting of that division on Monday. However, a schism could now form between those who support or oppose these plans. And the bottom two divisions could be mothballed completely for a year. That's a scenario Jim McInally, manager of League One Peterhead, says is preferable to playing with no fans.
Arsenal are going out of the Europa League. They fail to clear their lines from the corner, Masouras delivers another from the right and El Arabi darts in to poke it home. Unbelievable. HOW HAS HE MISSED?! Aubameyang has the goal at his mercy but somehow slices his shot wide from five yards. Arsenal are going out now, surely.

Santa Cruz and San Jose will face each other in the upcoming match in the Apertura. Santa Cruz this season have the following results: 1W, 1D and 1L. Meanwhile San Jose have 0W, 0D and 2L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Official LGBT+ supporters' groups of both clubs -- Pride of Irons and Chelsea Pride -- said on Twitter that they had witnessed continuous discriminatory chanting directed towards Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge and reported it to West Ham. The BBC said on Monday that the Metropolitan Police were contacted on social media and are conducting enquiries.
However, the team spent much of the final 30 minutes keeping possession in their own half and avoiding risks -- something Allegri would habitually describe as "administering the match" and which became a hallmark of his five years in charge. I didn't like the way we sat back on the result," said Sarri, who took over this season.
They have won three of their last four matches but facing a hurting Arsenal will be a different game altogether. They have scored two or more in three of their last four matches. One of their best highlights this season is a 19-match unbeaten run at home. They have won 16 of the 19 and will be looking to fell one giant here, having already eliminated Championship side, Barnsley.
I was also in Natal when Luis Suarez bit Georgio Chellini in 2014, but four years earlier the former Liverpool striker had already showed his will to win "by all means necessary". Ghana were the last African team standing in the first World Cup to be held in Africa. The quarter-final was 1-1 after 120 minutes and seconds away from a penalty shootout. Suarez blatantly handled the ball on the goalline to deny Ghana a last-gasp winner.
So it may be that he is meant to play a role, but it makes no sense if he has to sit on the bench. There is no big difference between the two teams, Real Madrid are not much better than Real Sociedad now. After all, [due to the coronavirus pandemic] there could be many big clubs scraped to the bone and many other clubs disappearing.
He lost the first set of his semi-final then faced three match points in a second set tie-break. He eventually won the game to make it 17 wins out of 17 this year. He's already won the ATP Cup with Serbia and then lifted the Australian Open title. The set dropped to Monfils was only the fourth match in which he hasn't won in straight sets in 2020.
England had not been good but they had been lucky. That, though, was about to change, when in each half of extra time first John Stones and then Ross Barkley were caught in possession and Holland through a Kyle Walker own goal and a Quincy Promes strike sealed their spot in the final against Portugal in Porto on Sunday.
Paper Round's view: The Champions League change spells trouble for the competition. It seems to favour the so-called 'big clubs' ahead of teams like Leicester City, who managed to reach the quarter-finals following their Premier League title win back in 2016. The main idea seems to be edging towards the inevitable European Super League, which has been discussed in the past.
Maguire: "I know I caught him and I felt he was going to fall on me and my natural reaction was to straighten my leg to stop him. It wasn't a kick out and there was no intent. I think it's the right decision. I apologised to him and it was nice that the referee saw sense. Chelsea get a corner which defender Kurt Zouma directs into the net, but United claim a foul on Brandon Williams. Williams was indeed pushed by Cesar Azpilicueta, but only after the Chelsea skipper himself had been shoved by Fred.
The bookmakers have pointed out that this game has a strong favorite with the odds for Lokomotiv Moscow win being solid. This match will be their second in their Head-to-Head history, so this match will have a large impact. If we look at the table, we could say that they will probably be right. At this moment, Lokomotiv Moscow is sitting in second place with 24:16 goal difference, with a real possibility to win it all in the end, and Tambov is 14th or third last with 18:23.
