We had to share two of my ties. Alex didn't take off his pyjama bottoms," said Jack. We had a few beers at the end to celebrate. Having lost to Arsenal I was in a foul mood but that helped!"Alex added: "We had plans to make a trophy but we're running low on tinfoil in the flat so we've had to hold off on it for the moment. It wouldn't be fair on our flatmates. Despite not being able to finish their FA Cup journey in real life, Jack and Alex have vowed to return to some of their favourite grounds and remain determined to reach Wembley.
Liverpool, who top the league standings will be at home to face ninth placed Southampton in their next match in the Premier League. Going to this clash, Liverpool have amassed 70 points, and are 39 ahead of Southampton, who have 31 points so far. Liverpool moved 19 points clear in the league standings with a 2-0 win over West Ham united on Wednesday, making it the fourth straight game they have scored twice.
But what took place thereafter was a moment of sheer magic. Three minutes into the second half saw the most exquisite first-time ball from Ross Barkley set up a glorious strike by Alonso that put the game beyond Spurs. It momentarily took my mind off the awful decision to leave Tottenham's Giovani lo Celso on the pitch for his shocking tackle on Azpilicueta. Did you know? Since the start of the 2016-17 season, Alonso has scored more goals than any other Premier League defender (17).
Video - Valverde justifies decision to rest Messi00:44 09:50 - Arsenal want Smalling It might be a busy January at the Emirates with a manager to appoint and a struggling defence.

On Thursday, Southampton became the first Premier League club to announce their players will defer part of their salaries. Francis said the Premier League's request was "hasty" and said discussions at Bournemouth over wage deferrals were "positive.
I don’t think there is a goalkeeping situation (at United)," Schmeichel, one of greatest keepers of all time, told Reuters. It’s ridiculous to talk about that. He (De Gea) made a mistake against Everton, he made one against Watford," added the 56-year-old. I worked this game against Everton (as a pundit) and we were clutching at straws trying to find mistakes that he’s made and we came up with seven over two seasons," added the Dane, whose son Kasper keeps for Premier League Leicester City.
Reading un23 will be in the field with Middlesbrough un23 and this game we have given a prediction of over 2.5 total goals as this two team have being recording o er of 2.5 total goals in the last meeting and so this makes us to be very sure that even on this game this trend will continue

I'm happy with the job I've done. I think we've got a little bit of the club back, back to the fans. We've all pulled together. We've proved that we can beat top teams. We need to sustain that now. Ferguson said he did not know who Everton would unveil as their next boss and added that he would like to keep working at the club.
Rangers desperately need a win here to try and keep up the pace with Celtic, but they face a Hearts side that also needs 3 points to keep away from the relegation zone. We're going to back Rangers to win to nil, as the Jambos poor goalscoring record away from home, especially in recent weeks, makes it hard for them to opt for a goal- especially as Rangers have the second-best defensive record in the league, conceding 8 in their 13 games so far and have won 8 of their last 9 matches. We're also going for a final score of 3-0 to the Light Blues, as they've bagged an average of 3 goals at home and have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 games.
In a statement on their website, the club added that he will now be in plaster for ten days before starting his rehab - expected to last around four weeks. The striker scored Bayern's third goal of the evening at Stamford Bridge, in the 76th minute, when he tapped in Alphonso Davies's cross from the left wing.
Prostejov is actually not that bad, they are quite solid in defense as I saw them coming close to winning away from home at Chrudim where they opened the scoring late but were drawn equal even later as it ended in a 1-1 draw. But really it is mostly a bet against Hradec Kralove who have won very few games in the league after the restart and have small chances at this point to get 3rd place, they do need the win reason why odds are so low on the away win but their performances are not convincing enough.

Now it's your turn You've seen my selections this week. But who would you go for? Pick your Team of the WeekPick your XI from our list and share with your friends. Select formationConfirm teamThe Crooks of the Matter When I first saw it I thought it was a joke. And no doubt Premier League referee Jon Moss did so too, I would have thought. So, let me get this right. Bournemouth midfielder Dan Gosling seems to suggest that Moss showed "zero respect" and was a "disgrace" for making "sarky comments" about their league position? Is Gosling serious? Have you seen the way professional footballers jostle, interrogate and abuse officials with impunity these days? And Gosling gets upset because the referee made a 'sarky' comment about Bournemouth's league position.
The players [played with their] souls, and heart and gave absolutely everything. Four matches over two rounds, really hard for the boys. They deserve this happiness. Jose Mourinho won the FA Cup in 2007 during his first spell as Chelsea manager'A chess game without pieces'Mourinho, who was also without midfielder Moussa Sissoko and full-back Ben Davies, spoke in depth about his side's injuries problems after the match.
The PFA has more than 200 counsellors across England which players can access, but Bennett admits clubs could do more to support players and said that gambling had become a big issue. The former Charlton, Wimbledon and Brentford winger added: "Issues might include a bereavement in the family, or living away from family, or long-term injury or not being in your manager's plans, or not earning the money you used to.
The great thing for new Hornets boss Nigel Pearson is that he has come in and got results straight away. Doing that means he gets a response on the training ground too, because the players think: 'He knows what he is talking about. Aston Villa hung on to beat Norwich but it is a real worry for them that they are conceding so many goals and chances. It is alarming how open they are, and that is why I am backing the Watford revival to continue.
The world record at a professional level was established in 2005 when a Namibian Cup tie was settled after 48 spot-kicks. In that game, KK Palace held their nerve to defeat the Civics 17-16 following a 2-2 draw. Taunton do not have a game on Saturday, having previously been knocked out of the FA Trophy. Their next fixture is a friendly with Bideford on Tuesday and a relieved Sturmey added: "There's definitely not going to be a penalty shootout.

Erling Braut Haaland - KRC Genk vs. FC SalzburgGetty Images But it's a live game, and it didn't have to be. Liverpool have been so good this season that everybody else in the Premier League is looking to circumstance to trip them over. And the best bet for this, it seems, is Liverpool's quite ridiculous December fixture list, which includes a whole bonus tournament in Qatar.

The FIELD study assessed the medical records of 7,676 men who played professional football in Scotland, born between 1900 and 1976. It was found that dementia was a factor in the deaths of 11% of the former footballers who had died, compared to around 3% for the socio-demographically matched sample. The health impacts of heading a ball came to the fore when former West Bromwich Albion striker Jeff Astle became the first British professional footballer confirmed to have died in 2002 from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease found in individuals with a history of head injury, often as a result of multiple concussions.
It is just a second defeat in 11 games for Dortmund.

They are 10 points behind Bayern, but only three ahead of third-placed RB Leipzig, who they face in the next round of fixtures at Red Bull Arena. It is becoming an annual feeling for Dortmund - the pain of pushing Bayern close but missing out on the title.

With the Reds on an 11-game winning run and top of the table, Gerrard slipped attempting to control a pass, allowing Demba Ba to run through and slot past Simon Mignolet in front of the Kop. Willian scored a second late on as control of the Premier League title race fell out of the hands of Brendan Rodgers' side. Manchester City never looked back. Perhaps the most ironic thing about the whole incident was Gerrard's impassioned "we don't let this slip" speech after the previous home match against City.
Assuming that mid-May is a reasonable time to start training again (which is far from certain), and allowing a couple of weeks for players to get some sharpness back (which doesn’t quite seem enough), that gives us an end date of [counts on fingers] late July? Hey, it’s something to aim for. But the Warm-Up suspects that at the very least, it might lead to a delay in getting 2020/21 going.

They've not really had too many games and they're coming back from injuries. It's hard with the young kids to give them enough games against men - professional games.

They are third at present in the regular season and look for three points away at sixth placed Chinandega.

Albion rattled the net two or more times in five of their last seven league fixtures on home turf, and with their possession-heavy style continuing to develop under Graham Potter, the slick-passing seagulls should find some joy against a lacklustre Chelsea rearguard.
Odion Ighalo was a top worldwide trend on social media on transfer deadline day - because his move to Manchester United seemed such an unlikely one. He was trending again on Thursday - and this time it was for all the right reasons. United's managing director Richard Arnold boasted on Tuesday that Ighalo's signing made him the top global trend on Twitter on the same day as Brexit and President Trump's impeachment trial in the United States, with rival fans quick to point out that the reason he was doing so was not actually a positive for United.
