But it got to the point that when the recycling of the squad wasn't forthcoming, that synergy wasn't continued and there was a logical frustration on Pochettino's side. I wouldn't say the pair are friends as such - there was a professional relationship but it became clear the priorities for both men started being different. A new stadium should mean a more ambitious club, the manager thought. But Levy did not move an inch from the club intentions.

The Red Devils’ mauling of AZ is far from the most impressive result they’ve secured recently though. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was facing increasingly heavy pressure going into last week’s hosting of Spurs, but they put in a great display to deservedly win 2-1.
Blues boss Frank Lampard said before the match that Abraham was still suffering some pain in his hip, yet worked tirelessly throughout in a physical battle against muscular Villa centre-backs Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa.

The ball is coming at you from twelve yards away, at a ridiculous pace, giving you even less time to react. Now imagine that you are a professional goalkeeper, facing a professional taker with increased accuracy and power. Of course as a professional keeper your reactions will be increased but the balance will be more uneven, at least at amateur level there’s a good chance that the taker might completely scuff their attempt.
Incredible emotional intelligence, clever, role model' - why Bellingham could be a hit like Sancho at Dortmund"The direction they are heading in and how much they help to improve young players made it an easy decision for myself and my family. I can't thank Birmingham City enough for what they have done for me, not just this past year but since the age of seven. Once a blue always a blue. Dortmund were Bellingham's preferred choice ahead of a number of English clubs, including Manchester United.
In contrast, Everton's barren run at Anfield stretches to 20 years and counting, with Marco Silva's position appearing to be somewhat untenable as the Blues dropped into the relegation zone. TALKING POINT Liverpool march on, but it looks bleak for Silva. The records pile up for Liverpool and Klopp as they continue to rack up the wins.

The 2nd leg of the final match, between Sporting San Jose and Juventud Escazucena. In the 1st leg, Sporting San Jose blow a 1:0 lead and in the end Juventud Escazucena won 2:1, however in the majority of the match Sporting San Jose were the better team, at least in my opinion.
Earlier, England's most-capped international Fara Williams had stunned the Blues by drilling in the opener for the visitors, moments before Reading keeper Grace Moloney was sent off for a late challenge on Kerr right on the edge of the box. That incident changed the game and Chelsea could have scored more but saw a lively Kerr miss two excellent chances, while Reading's substitute keeper Rachael Laws was in fine form to keep the scoreline at 3-1.
Ferguson had already decided that he could not go into the game without some penetration from central midfield. Usually that came from the passing of Keane and Scholes, and the late runs of the latter. With both unavailable, Ferguson’s first instinct was to use Giggs in the centre. At that stage of his career he had played only a handful of games in that position – but he was usually impressive, and his dribbling was even more devastating when he started from a central position.

After threatening to push for a play-off place last season, Sutton have not been at the same level this campaign. That's somewhat understandable, given they overachieved last term when taking into account they remain a part-time outfit but the fact they are only 4 points above the drop zone does have to be a concern.
indjija is in very tough spot right now, there is just 4 games left in the season and they are in relegation zone with 5 points away from first team in safe zone so they are on the pressure to win tomorrow because this is one of their two last games at home in the season and I think they have pretty good chances to do so cause Spartak is on the middle with no ambitions what so ever and I think indjija is going to use that and win the game with 1-0 and I expect the odd to fall
Leicester failed to make the most of possession in the first 45 minutes and Lampard was able to make those substitutions that swung the game back in Chelsea's favour. Talented youngster Billy Gilmour had one of those halves all young players can have, giving the ball away too much and having little impact - he will learn from this. Barkley came on and was Chelsea's FA Cup talisman again, scoring the winner and almost adding a second in the last minute, forcing an unorthodox save from Schmeichel.
This from anti-discriminatory body Fare: "Once again Italian football leaves the world speechless. It is difficult to see what Serie A was thinking, who did they consult?

Eventually. It’s confirmed. Slimani is a red, Llorente’s back in white, but Giroud’s paperwork has fallen through.

Both teams quite successfully started in the championship in the last round just after a forced break. And “Borussia D” has an interesting calendar in general - first a derby with “Schalke”, then “Wolfsburg”, and “Bavaria” at the finish. On the other hand, the Dortmund players did not notice principled rivals from Gelsenkirchen at all, beating them 4-0. It will be funny if the whole heavy calendar of the former team of Jürgen Klopp goes so easily that it’s not even interesting.
In the last six home matches, Kasimpasa have scored 13 goals and conceded just one.

Ultimately I want my team to play attacking football but unless you defend well you're going to lose games. Having managed six different clubs over a 22-year span and closing in on 1,000 games as a boss, Moyes insists he would like to get "well over 1,000 if I get the chance". He added: "I would like to go again. There are things I've been disappointed with and I would like to have done better. I hope in this period of my career I can get it as good as it has been.

Greuther Furth is weaker than HSV but will they lose for more than one goal, I don't think so. HSV is a contender for promotion and have been performing quite well in the league, still, GF is not far back and is sitting quite comfortably in 6th place. In the 1st round we saw a home win fr GF 2 x 0 and last season at GF's a 0 x 0 draw. These two have an 8 points difference and I imagine GF has plans to shorten that down, especially playing at their own stadium. 1 x 1 is my guess
