That appeared to be a needless and unfair pop at BT. In response, their main presenter, Darrell Currie, called Doncaster's words "pathetic". Given BT could now potentially claim up to several million pounds in liabilities following the Premiership being finished early, getting stroppy with them was probably an ill-advised move. What did Alfredo mean?The moment when Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos was sent-off in the closing minutes at Celtic Park and the almighty row that erupted in the aftermath of the gesture he made when leaving the field.
Bordeaux’s home form has been very strong recently whereas Nîmes have the third worst away record in the league. The Crocodiles were lucky to get a point against a poor Metz side at the weekend so we’re going to back the hosts to get the win here. Les Girondins should’ve got the win over Reims on Saturday so we’re expecting them to get the three points here against a far weaker team. Nîmes have failed to score in five of their last eight away games so we think this will end 2-10to the hosts. Bordeaux have scored twice in five of their last seven home games, keeping three clean sheets along the way.

Alfredo Morelos will miss Rangers' Scottish Cup quarter-final against Hearts for "disciplinary" reasons. The striker, 23, was allowed to return to his Colombian homeland last week but reported back 24 hours late.
Spurs said the fact they repeated the announcement created a "misconception" that the issue was ongoing in their stadium. The club added: "In respect of protocols - when the incident was conveyed to the referee Anthony Taylor, he took the decision to call for the implementation of Stage 1 of the Uefa protocol - rather than the Premier League protocol - and asked for an announcement to be made, as well as requesting a further announcement which created a misconception that any issue was ongoing.
The two sides have averaged 4.75 goals between them so far this campaign and goals should be expected here again, especially with Sevilla creating an average of 8.5 shots on target per game. Qarabag can't really match them for those statistics and come into the game as definite underdogs.

What is unfolding in front of our eyes is so utterly beyond what we thought possible that it belongs in the realms of fantasy; evidence, surely, that we are all living inside a computer simulation. And it seems to need a swift Ctrl + Alt + Del. And yet Liverpool have made this impossibility seem utterly normal.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte had left Hazard on the bench, alongside striker Diego Costa, but the Belgian came on to score and set up Nemanja Matic for the winning goals. Willian, given the nod ahead of Hazard, had scored twice in the first half but those goals were cancelled out by Tottenham duo Harry Kane and Dele Alli. Chelsea went on to lose 2-1 to Arsenal in the final after Victor Moses was shown a red card.
They have managed just one win in their last five matches but of their total eight wins this season, five have come at home. However, in recent times, they have gone winless in four straight home matches in the league, losing twice and drawing twice. In their last six home league matches, they have managed just one clean sheet with four of the matches producing over 2.
Ponferradina is in bad shape and they have only five points more than team which are in the relegation zone and this is an important match for them, they are much better team at home where they have lost only one from 16 home games with seven wins and home field is big advantage for them.
Galatasary lie in 5th, level with Istanbul with 19 points. Galatasaray beat Gaziantep 2-0 away from home before the international break while Istanbul Basaksehir secured a 2-1 victory in their own backyard against Ankaragucu, as both sides kept the pressure on the league leaders Sivasspor. All of the stats heading into Friday’s clash point towards this game ending in a draw and we have backed the final scoreline to end 1-1.
Indeed, a 1-0 defeat to Botafogo in midweek confirmed their fate and was their 19th loss of the campaign, a statistic mainly wracked up due to the fact they've conceded a big 49 goals. With such a poor defensive record, you do have to fear for the side coming into Sunday's game and most concerned with the club are now ready for the season to end.
It makes complete sense for clubs to try and get their business done as early as possible this summer, with the European Championships looming. Tournaments can often inflate the price of a transfer target, but it can also make other clubs aware of breakout stars. If Arsenal are expecting Kokcu to shine for Turkey at the Euros, they need to secure his signature as soon as they can.
Natfan will lock horns with smorgon in what promises to be an entertaining match naftan will be hoping to take advantage of their home turf and see this through they have won once in their last five games drawing 3 times and losing once there last home game they managed to win 2-1.

Wolves looked on course for their first FA Cup final since 1960 as they led through Matt Doherty's first-half header and Raul Jimenez's superb volleyed finish. But Deulofeu came on to produce an audacious flick, giving Watford hope, before captain Troy Deeney drilled home from the penalty spot in the 94th minute to take the game to extra-time. And Deulofeu capped off a stunning substitute performance with the winner 10 minutes later to send Watford through to their first FA Cup final since 1984.
Guests are really the best team in this league and I believe that they will win in this duel with at least two goals difference, and with a little luck and more than that, it is clear. I was watched them in all matches so far after winter break. Shakhtar was great in two matches against Benfica in Europa League, when they are beat them at home 2-1 and as a guests, and then in next duel, 3-3 in Lisbon, in one fantastic duel. Kolos is ok team, but in last match against them, they are lost even 0-6. Same will be and today.
Wigan's recent run of form is a massive cause for concern coming into Saturday's game and the hosts simply cannot buy a win at the moment. All in all, they've not won any of their last 9 fixtures and having fell to defeat in 6 of said matches, confidence can't be high coming into this fixture
AZ are yet to lose in Group L and a point against Partizan on Thursday would prove enough to seal second place with one game still to play. The visitors arrive knowing a win is a must but having lost their last two group games confidence is bound to be low and even three points on Thursday would only take them to within a point of AZ meaning they would need another win and another AZ defeat to progress any further in this competition.
Hearts and Partick Thistle have lodged a petition with the Court of Session to challenge their relegations. In a joint statement, they say they "have no wish to disrupt" Scottish football, but "reserve the right" to try to delay the Premiership season. The pair had their demotions confirmed on Monday when clubs failed to support league reconstruction. It followed a vote to curtail the term, with Hearts bottom of the Premiership and Thistle last in the Championship.

A rangy physical player, few got the better of the French World Cup winner, particularly during his time with Arsenal where he became captain and led the side that went unbeaten through a 38-game Premier League season to win the title in 2003-04. Wright: "We have not seen a midfielder before and since that plays like Vieira. When he came I thought he was a centre-half. Once he started playing, his technical ability, stamina, creativity, leadership it's no surprise someone like him went on to play in a World Cup-winning side.
Any athlete who has the chance to play against Tottenham in a round of 16 and doesn't go to the limit is out of place. Despite Spurs' injuries, Nagelsmann says they are "still a good team with a lot of good players". They counter well and have a clear game plan. It is important that we do it the same way as in the first leg in London," he said. But we are not thinking about the last games, but the upcoming match.
We're short in that area so we might have to look and see if we can do anything in the short-term.

It isn’t ruled out that the current season could be spread out over two different seasons. I understand that there is a lot of curiosity, but today nobody is in a position to say what our future holds.

Bayern, who had won their previous four games in all competitions under Flick, hit the woodwork three times and missed close to a dozen golden chances from top scorer Robert Lewandowski, Serge Gnabry and Ivan Perisic among others.

There are 7,697 chartered managers. Comments on Twitter under a link posted by the BBC to their website story were largely hostile. This is ridiculous - as a female football fan, this kind of presumption that women either don't like football or would want others to stop talking about something we're not interested in is ridiculous," commented @LaurenD1905.
They decided a move to Germany would be best for his career, having determined that a transfer to Juventus was not in his best interests earlier in his career. You always define big clubs, it is not like Dortmund is a development club," says Fjortoft. They get 81,000 every week, they are in the Champions League - which some clubs aren't at the moment - and they are used to developing players into great players.
The Football Association says it is "continuing to consult" with clubs on the "possibility of terminating" the Women's Super League season. Club representatives and the FA are understood to have held a meeting on Monday, but no final decision on how to conclude the campaign was reached. An FA statement said it is "clear that there will be significant challenges in completing the season". No WSL fixtures have been played since February because of coronavirus.
Real Zaragoza will host Almeria for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts are favorites in this match. Zaragoza is one of the best teams in this campaign. They are currently on the 2nd place with 58 points. On the other hand Almeria is also ambitious team in this season. Almeria are currently on the 3rd place with 53 points. Of course, both teams want to get the victory. I think, the hosts will have invest a great effort in this game. They want to stay in the race for the direct promotion. I think, the hosts will go in this game to victory.
A Corinthian spirit which saw him lauded for gifting a goal to Aston Villa last season, after he was accused of villainy by those who felt he had crossed a metaphoric line somewhere on a public highway by sending staff to watch another side train. A stranger in a foreign land, supposedly renowned for its sense of fair play, treated unfairly, in this reporter's opinion. A foreigner who had without reproach conducted his business across South America and Europe in similar fashion but who had now fallen foul of football's authorities.

He had the composure to round Courtois and finish into the empty net! Wow. Ramos put that goal on a plate for La Real. Should have been two! Real Sociedad broke into the penalty area with Oyarzabal crossing for Odegaard, but then the ball bounced around and Jose couldn't prod it past Courtois. What an opportunity! 37’ GOAL! Real Madrid 1-1 Real Sociedad: It's the equaliser and it's Benzema who scores it!

The sporting duel between us was very nice on a personal level and I think people had fun too, whether they were fans of Madrid or Barca, or even only football fans in general. Obviously, when Cristiano was at Real Madrid, the matches were always special. Video - 'Messi is number 9, 10, 11…' - Guardiola on the best striker and Aguero’s record00:51 "The matches against Real always mean a lot, but when Cristiano was there they became much more special.
He sleeps, he sneezes, he eats, he burps, but it’s not like he gets out of bed. He’s very bedridden and still very dependent on us. On his good days there is a form of communication, for example, confirmation with his eyebrows or a smile. But you notice that he can’t last that very long. We talk to him like he’s not sick.
We were mature and patient and we did it well. We did not lose our cool," coach Nagelsmann said, praising his players just weeks after questioning their commitment in the league. Nagelsmann had played down Leipzig's title chances saying even a Champions League spot would be a success, though his team is in second place in the Bundesliga on 45 points, just one behind Bayern.
