But it is a reality now. I cannot say much more now until I get started. It's been crazy. Obviously, I am happy to be in Manchester first of all. This is a great opportunity for me and I am grateful to God, and to my agent, and the coach who has given me this opportunity to be here. Hello! Don't mourn the January transfer window, be grateful that you were alive to see Manchester United panic sign a striker over Skype.
Aston Villa manager Dean Smith has signed a new four-year contract until 2023. The 48-year-old joined Villa in October 2018, succeeding Steve Bruce who was sacked after one win in nine league games. Smith led the club to promotion from the Championship with a 2-1 victory against Derby in the play-off final in May. Villa are 15th in the Premier League, four points above the relegation zone. Smith told the official website: "I'm really happy to have committed my long-term future to the club.
Uruguayan Torreira was on the receiving end of a heavy tackle from Portsmouth defender James Bolton and was carried off the pitch on a stretcher. Ahead of Wednesday's Premier League match against second-placed Manchester City, Arsenal said in a statement that the 24-year-old was receiving "continual assessments" and his recovery was expected to take between eight to 10 weeks.
Naftan will host Smorgon for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this league. However, this is a very unpredictable league. Naftan is one of the main outsiders in this campaign. They are currently bottom of the table. Of course, the hosts have the motivation to change their positions. However, they are not convincing team. On the other hand Smorgon have great results in this season. Smorgon is one of the best teams in this campaign. The visitors are in solid shape. They have two consecutive victories. I expect, this will be tense match. Also, I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.
This odds is more than great for me and of course that I must take that in this match from Bundesliga. So, Werder Bremen is really one of my favorite teams for betting on goals. They are team who was not in ideal form in last few weeks, but few days ago, they are played one of the best matches so far in season, when they are beat and eliminated big favorite, Borussia Dortmund at home, 3-2. Union is maybe better than them, but Werder is for me closer to win. In any case, I will bet on goals here, it is real.
But then you remember the Canaries have only had one away win in the Premier League all season and, to me, that seems like a good reason to tip Tottenham instead.

Eintracht Frankfurt will have to quickly move on from Monday's loss to Mainz as they host Hertha Berlin this Friday. Eintracht will hope to end a run of poor Bundesliga form by producing another impressive performance at the Commerzbank-Arena. Despite recent results, Eintracht have been tough to beat at home this season.
We did well. Defensively we're really pleased. It was a collective effort. With the quality they have they can put you in dangerous places. We took part in the game. We tried to play and attack when we could. We had opportunities but it wasn't to be. We move forward really positively with a clean sheet - we hadn't had one for a while.
The unbeaten and winning sequences go on while a 21st successive league victory at Anfield equals their own English top-flight record for consecutive home wins, set between January and December 1972. It's turned into a title procession and there are certain dates circled on Kopites' calendars. If Man City slip up, Everton away on March 16 would represent a sweet place to achieve their dreams.
But neither Tommy Wright nor Neil Lennon were paying much attention to those stats. More encouraging for the hosts was the one loss in their last eight games, and just three goals conceded in that time. For that reason, Lennon said he anticipated a tough game where his side would have to be at their best. Well, they were certainly at their best. They just didn't have to be. St Johnstone's five-man defence were half-asleep as the game kicked off - and if anything, seemed to drift further into their slumber - and Celtic were able to cut through them with ease.
Athletic Bilbao have been excellent overall at San Mames this term with six wins, two draws and just one defeat posted from nine outings, but it's been a different story altogether for them on the road.
Both sides have had their issues at the back this term, suffering from a lack of clean sheets. Melbourne have managed to keep only one in their last 10 matches, as have Western United. That should open up opportunities for both teams here, especially with 80% of Melbourne City’s home games finishing with both teams finding the net.
I'd say it's in my top five nights at Anfield and it felt like the start of the adventure. Murray: "When we talk about defining games for Klopp, this is one of the ones that instantly comes to mind. This is probably top three. It was pivotal in what Klopp's Liverpool turned into. Liverpool make a 'wonderful base' with Champions League qualification Liverpool 3-0 Middlesbrough - 21 May 2017Liverpool had only qualified for the Champions League once - going out in the group stage - in the six seasons prior to reaching the 2018 final in Kiev.
Villa then took the lead just before half-time when Egypt winger Trezeguet side-footed the ball into the net at the back post after Palace had failed to clear a free-kick. Shortly after the break, the hosts were awarded a penalty by referee Martin Atkinson after Patrick van Aanholt's challenge on Jack Grealish, but the decision was overturned after another long VAR check. Villa's first Premier League win since 21 January was sealed when Trezeguet toe-poked home his second goal to leave the West Midlands side four points from safety with three matches, against Everton (away), Arsenal (home) and West Ham (away), to go.
Regular feelings of nervousness or anxiety were reported by 72% of the sample. The data showed 69% were worried about their career or livelihood, while 9% were experiencing difficulties with damaging addictive habits. Heads Up: Tackling mental health through football"We have got a number of players who are living from pay cheque to pay cheque and this is having a real impact on them emotionally," said PFA director of player welfare Michael Bennett.
Forest Green Rovers will host Scunthorpe United for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts are more ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 2nd place with 35 points. Hosts have an effective attack. They have a solid defense. Of course, the hosts will try to make a positive result. However, this will not be an easy job. Also, we have Scunthorpe Utd who's is very average team in this campaign. They are currently on the 16th place with 21 points. True, Scunthorpe are undefeated in their last 5 matches. I think, they will try to remain unbeaten. Maybe this is - draw.. My pick - Scunthorpe to win.
However, Ross County has conceded huge amounts in recent weeks, letting in 14 goals in their last five games- 2.8 on average. Moreover, they've also scored an average of 1.2 goals in their last five, failing to do so just once.

In addition to a loss in income, Premier League clubs still owe £1. Kieran Maguire. Most agree that where the power used to lie with the selling club, now it will suit the buyer. I'd be amazed to see the transfer market continue as it was," says Huddersfield's head of football operations David Webb. Even the superpower clubs will think 'we don't have to go out and pay this fee any more'. I think it will lead to a big change in recruitment.
Lauber had been investigating several cases of suspected corruption involving FIFA, based in Zurich, dating back to 2014 and the presidency of Sepp Blatter. The probe treats FIFA as a victim rather than as a suspect. Lauber had acknowledged two meetings with Infantino in 2016, saying they were intended to help coordinate the investigation.

Wasteful Forest payThe return of fit-again defender Matty Cash and midfielder Lolley were among four changes made by the hosts following Sunday's dramatic late defeat by Barnsley. Cash was quick to showcase why AC Milan made him a transfer target in January, urging Forest forward in the opening minutes and blazing an early effort just over in the fourth minute. Soon after, Stoke goalkeeper Davies kept things goalless, first denying Sammy Ameobi after he swivelled in the box to shoot from 10 yards, before denying Ryan Yates from point-blank range after the midfielder latched onto the rebound.
Smorgon will host Lida for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, Lida are more ambitious team in this league. However, the visitors have highly variable results in this new campaign. I think, they are not convincing team. I think, this will not be an easy task. In any case, they will have invest to great effort in this game. Also, we have Smorgon who's is very average team in this league. However, Smorgon are undefeated in this season. I think, the hosts will try to remain unbeaten. In any case, the hosts will try to make a positive result.
Klopp decided to miss the fourth-round replay because it fell during the Premier League's winter break. A Reds side with an average age of 19 years and 102 days set up a tie at Chelsea with a 1-0 win. There was a message at half-time and and at full-time [from Klopp]," said under-23s boss Neil Critchley.
We can do it for sure. Everyone's positive. When the Champions League starts again, we start from the beginning and try to win it. We want to win every cup.

Chennai City Vs Gokulam, Indian I league. So far, the records are 4 wins 2 ties and 4 losses for the guest in 19/20 season, and both teams are of similar strength, and therefore this match is going to be an even contest, so it is possible that Gokulam will be closer to winning, so my bet today on draw, I think it's time to both teams settle for points. .I think that guests are a lot of better team at the moment and I expect them to secure a positive result in the end of the match. They should avoid loss
It obviously does not faze him. There has been talk of player discontent but I don't think Pochettino lost the dressing room. He took a couple of steps back from certain situations because in some cases he could not punish or replace players as there was nobody to replace them with.

You are not young enough to be forgiven for mistakes but you are not old enough to have the experience. You are in the between age of trying to figure it out and it is flipping hard. But Chilwell's versatility is really good for England so I do not think he needs to worry about his place at the Euros. January has gone now so he needs to get his head down and kick on a gear - Leicester have a tough match on Friday against ninth-placed Wolves (20:00 GMT kick-off).
I felt it was best to get everything off my chest," he told the Daily Mail. I am normally quite bubbly and want to put smiles on people's faces, but people have seen the change in my ways. I have been down and glum, just worrying. I felt like everybody just passed all the stuff to me and it weighed on my shoulders. It was like, 'Here you go Jesse, you deal with this on your own'. I wasn't performing and he [Solskjaer] was on me all the time.
Manchester United have signed former Watford striker Odion Ighalo from Shanghai Shenhua on loan until the end of the season. The deal to bring the 30-year-old Nigeria international to Old Trafford contains no option to buy. Ighalo, who is still in China but is expected to fly to the UK in the next few days, scored 39 goals in 99 matches for Watford between 2014 and 2017. He then moved to the Chinese Super League, first with Changchun Yatai.

There’s a big chance for Bologna here, who are fresh from an impressive 2-1 win at Napoli in their last league game. That has set them up for a positive result in this clash. The hosts have consistently created chances this term, while they’ve scored twice in three of their last four at home. With Milan scoring less than a goal per away game this term, we think the Rossoblu are well priced to shade this one.
