I made a change nine months ago and I have been very happy since I came here. We still have a lot of work to do. Most manager's contracts will have something in but my focus is here. Yeah, just mention that release clause one more time just in case Josh Kroenke didn’t catch it. It would seem unlikely to leave a job with one team and take one at another, where the first thing you would want to do in an ideal world is buy all the players you were managing the day before in order to replace the feckless misfits you have just inherited.
Elena Rybakina is in excellent form at present and this is her second straight final.

Slavia Res. will host Torpedo Zhodino Res. for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this league. I expect another one tough match for both sides. True, I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Zhodino 2 are currently on the 8th place with 11 points. I think, Zhodino 2 have a chance to get all three points. Also, we have Slavia 2 who's is one of the worst teams in this league. Hosts have less potential. Also, they have a very vulnerable defense. They are currently on the 14th place with 4 points. I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.

Mane finished as a runner-up last season and, despite the Reds being so far clear that they could win the title in March, the 27-year-old says his side's domestic dominance this term "has not been easy". Easy? Oh, I wish," he said. We know the Premier League is the best league in the world and every single game you have to give 100% if you want to win. It's what we always try and I think it's working very well but we have to keep working hard to get what we want.

Keown: "The game was almost out of control. Eden Hazard was remarkable. Watching the scenes of the Leicester players in Jamie Vardy's house, you just know how they feel. It was an amazing story. You could call them the dirty dozen, along with the manager Claudio Ranieri. He was the 'Tinkerman' at Chelsea and all of a sudden he kept it really simple and a lot of those players had difficult times at other clubs.
However, I now feel as though I am being harassed. This is no longer solely affecting me, but affecting the health of my family and my young children too. He added: "At a time when the focus is understandably on Covid-19, at what point does mental health get taken into consideration?"I am a human being, with feelings of pain and upset like everybody else. Being in the public eye does not make you immune to this.
Bnei Yehuda is much better in away games than at home same can be said about the hosts here as the hosts won 15 points on the road while just 2 at home where they are 0-2-6 in the league alone so far this season this while Bnei Yehuda has a record of 3-4-2 on the road and won on their last visit here also with 1-0, but like I said above Bnei is really hard to beat on the road and with the hosts being really weak at home I have to take the away win in this one.
So CFR Cluj are outsiders once more in this double leg, but then again so they were in the group stage against tough Rennes, Lazio and Celtic rated that they would for sure finish the group stage on 4th place, but they demolished all those ideas winning all home games, 2-1 with Lazio, 1-0 with Rennes and 2-0 with Celtic plus a 1-0 win at Rennes and with 4 wins from 6 group games they finished 2nd in the group, this while Sevilla had a walk in the park in a group including Dudelange, Qarabag and APOEL, but lost 1-0 away at APOEL final group game.
So maybe the top six clubs can reimburse TV money but how can the smaller clubs, like Bournemouth, who have a high wage list but a stadium capacity of 12,000, reimburse TV money and pay their players?"Legally, players' contracts end on 30 June, so if the season goes beyond that there will have to be special contracts which we have not seen before. Since the decision to postpone the Premier League was taken, clubs have remained coy on refunds, saying only that match tickets will be valid for rearranged fixtures.
Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl said the win wasn't about avenging the 9-0 humiliation against the Foxes in October but about how far they had come in their development. Come off it Ralph!

Sergio Aguero: Aguero's hat-trick against lamentable Aston Villa was further confirmation he is, without doubt, the best striker to have graced the Premier League.

Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester 0-2 Man Utd: Solskjaer 'delighted' after Man Utd qualify for Champions League For United and Solskjaer - who was wreathed in smiles as he conducted his post-match media briefing - a third-placed finish looked an unlikely target when they dipped into the transfer market in January to bring Fernandes from Portugal. This elegant creator has been a talisman as well as catalyst for United, winning nine and drawing five of the 14 league games he has been involved in.
On Wednesday, they allowed a two-goal lead at home to Aberdeen slip. Then, against Hamilton they had most of the possession and chances, but failed to sparkle in the final third before being hit by a late sucker punch. Coming to the business end of the season, that sort of slackness is unforgiveable, and manager Alex Dyer said as much after the game. The boys were unprofessional," said Dyer. Hamilton went down to 10 men, we had control and a lot of chances but not being clinical, and then we let them in from some rash play.
The most ridiculous goal you will see'It is one of the first things aspiring young footballers are taught: do not stop playing unless the referee blows the whistle.

The second Newcastle goal is the most ridiculous goal you will see," he said. You've got to play to the whistle.
A few weeks ago there were two contenders and now we have four so maybe there will be six in a few days," Guardiola added. We are in November, there is a long way to play.

A minute's silence to remember those who have died with coronavirus is likely to take place before the first games after the Premier League restart.

Premier League clubs are due to meet on Monday for more discussions about their proposed Project Restart plan.
NK Dugopolje against HNK Sibenik here, meeting of 2 HNL of Croatian football which is played tomorrow afternoon at 1.30pm. Sibenik's favorite to win the match comes from a 1-0 home win against Dubrava while the hosts come from a 1-0 away defeat by Bijelo Brdo. Sibenik has the best technical quality here and I think they will score at least one or two goals against a team that until now has never managed to win against stronger opponents. The home team is currently suffering a lot. Let's try a 2 DNB mark at 1.50 and Good Luck to everyone! ;-)
As disappointing as their performance was, the fact that this sort of result is no longer a regular occurrence is testament to how far Newcastle have progressed this season.

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho: "I think you should have access to them [VAR officials]. I think you should have access to them to ask directly, 'Why?'. It is very important. They are very important in the game. It would stop nothing, make things much more open, much more clear. It would give the ref the chance to say, 'Yes, I made a mistake - I feel sorry for that', or, 'Yes, I had an incredible performance'.
Not that Pep Guardiola was willing to let this minor infraction p*** all over his chips. Since we started to win, the last nine [domestic] competitions we played, we won eight," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. That is awesome. No club before in the history of domestic trophies, not counting Europe, won the amount of titles in a row we have won.
Paper Round’s views: As above, it is not in the interests of either the broadcasters or the pundits to fail to find a compromise. BT are suffering with a loss of product, and the pundits will likely have counted on their salary. However, over the long term both parties need each other and common sense should demand that they are able to work out a compromise.
