On the claim SPFL legal advisor Rod McKenzie issued four "cease and desist" requests to Rangers chairman Donald Park on 10 and 11 April, sparking his 'Rangers will not be bullied into silence' statement. The SPFL says that, in a phone call on 10 April, Park "made a very serious allegation and threat to act in a particular way" to Doncaster - one which has been "entirely unsupported by any evidence, either then or since".
Leverkusen have won four of their last six matches against Hertha and five of the pairs’ last six encounters have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals. The hosts have won three of their last six matches in all competitions while the visitors have lost four of their last six matches in the Bundesliga, so you can see why we have backed a Leverkusen win this weekend.
VAR SHOULD HAVE AWARDED ATALANTA PENALTY The VAR official should have intervened to award Atalanta a first-half penalty in their 1-1 draw at Inter Milan, Serie A's head of refereeing Nicola Rizzoli said on Monday.

Since then, groin troubles have held him back. IS HE THE RIGHT PROFILE FOR THE PREMIER LEAGUE AND ARSENAL? Arsenal need a more reliable defender that Kurzawa. Still, Kurzawa’s priority is to get his real level back – the level he showed at Monaco. Until/if that happens, I can’t see him succeeding in the Premier League.
Even more worrying is that West Ham lost despite Moyes beginning with a strong side, which he then bolstered by three substitutions at halftime. Conor Townsend scored the game's only goal -- his first for Albion -- with a superb curling shot from the edge of the area on nine minutes. The visitors had to see out the final 20 minutes with 10 men after Semi Ajayi was dismissed for a second bookable offence.
That came after Scott Allan's penalty was saved by the on-loan goalkeeper. But Aaron Taylor-Sinclair got a slight touch on Steve Lawless' cross to equalise just six minutes later. Despite being held, Hibs are now unbeaten in 11 league games at Easter Road, while Gary Holt's side claimed just their 11th away point of the season.
The fact they shook off a poor start when the Premier League resumed to earn 10 points from 12 in their previous four matches was a testament to their durability and craft. But after three wins over teams above them, they found Leicester a more difficult task. Although they made a good start where David McGoldrick fired over from George Baldock's cross, they were second best for much of the first half, as Leicester's players, set up in a 3-4-3 formation continually asked questions of the Blades' resolute defence.
This morning with the physio he said he feels better. Not perfect. Leroy Sane is certain to miss the derby after Guardiola conceded the German winger is still weeks away from being ready for first-team football.

That word is used too frequently, too easily, but that was unbelievable. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer watches his shot fly into the netGetty Images Solskjaer’s first thought, like Sheringham, was that he might be offside. He wasn’t – there were two men on the line – but the only person in his peripheral version was his marker Kuffour.
A captain's goal. That settles nerves. GOAL! Dalot with a beauty! The defender twists and turns into the box before sending an absolute rifle into the corner. Unstoppable. GOAL! Lingard with third and it's another glorious goal! Maguire drives at the heart of the Tranmere defence before laying off Lingard right on the 18-yard box.

What the best players like Messi want is to be able to play with the world's other leading players and to compete at the highest level.

On Sunday Messi will hope he can concentrate on what he does best - starring on the world stage in what many consider the biggest club game on the planet.

West Bromwich Albion will be fancying their chances of reaching the last eight of the FA Cup. They lost on Saturday but have been in winning form of late and top the Championship. Albion have already knocked out one Premier League team this season, winning at West Ham in the last round. Newcastle United have an appalling recent FA Cup record and have struggled to make it to the fifth round this season. They are in poor form at present and struggling for goals. Their away record isn't good and West Brom can win this game.
Tebas expressed his opposition to such a proposal, however, citing the fact that Spanish clubs are owed 350 million euros in transfer fees, due to be paid by September 30. It's important these obligations are met, because if these European clubs don't pay Spanish clubs the Spanish clubs may not be able to pay other European clubs," Tebas told reporters via video link on Tuesday.
Would you like to be paid a lot of money?” “Why, yes. Yes I would. Lovely. Sign here. Obviously United are more argument than football club these days, and Fernandes is the latest acquisition by an organisation whose record in the market has been … let’s say mixed, and you can mentally swap in a much ruder and more accurate word.
Jimenez, with seven goals in the past nine Wolves games, also produced a bright display. His excellent surge and cross from the right would have resulted in Wolves' second had Jonny kept his composure with keeper David Martin to beat. The former Benfica player also should have done better with his strike, from Traore's through-ball, which was beaten away by the Hammers keeper.

We'll be watching it on TV this summer, as we wait to hear more about when it may be safe for domestic and international football to resume. There were many other differences too, though. We've gone through some of the major transformations below. No elite sport in England before 1 JuneThe 'chart football song' was still a thing Football influencers in 1996When was the last time we had a good tournament song? 1996 was a moment in British history where guitar music, football, terrace fashion and the glorification of lager seemed to meet at a cultural interface.
Replays show it was the correct call. GOAL! Burnley 0-1 Manchester City. There it is! Superb finish from Jesus to break the deadlock. There was concern in the build-up for De Bruyne who stayed down after a coming together, but City played on, David Silva fed it wide for Jesus, who waited for his moment, before curling a sublime effort past the despairing dive of Pope.

Premier League clubs have unanimously voted to resume contact training as 'Project Restart' moves to phase two. Players will be able to "train as a group and engage in tackling while minimising unnecessary close contact," a statement said.

Even though they face Olympiakos in the Europa League last-16 in the next two weeks, their next four Premier League games are against relegation-threatened Brighton (H), West Ham (A), Bournemouth (H) and Aston Villa (A). While those four sides are fighting for their lives at the bottom, Wolves are only three points off a Champions League spot meaning Nuno's side still have plenty to fight for. Who should you be looking to bring in? Well, if you want a striker Diogo Jota is in red hot form after scoring six goals in his last four games in all competitions.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sonny's prediction: 0-0 Southampton v Watford (17:30 GMT)This game sees two managers under pressure go head-to-head. These are also two teams not playing well and conceding lots of goals. However, Southampton got that draw at Arsenal which actually should have been a win so I think they might have the confidence to get the better of Watford. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Sonny's prediction: 5-1SUNDAY Norwich v Arsenal (14:00 GMT)Not enough has been made of Norwich's defensive injury crisis, so it was a really good result at Everton the other week.
With that in our minds, we’re predicting a 2-1 win for Sydney FC, a victory that should show their dominance but also highlight that Perth Glory will be a major part of what should be a close game between two sides that will hope to be at the top end of the table in May. Sydney have a wealth of attacking talent that seem to be hitting form and that should be enough to see them claim the win and push the teams above them into getting results too.
ROME, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Talking points from the Serie A weekend: CONTE DARES TO DREAM AS TITLE RACE TIGHTENS Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte admitted he can't help but think about a league title win after his side went top of Serie A, recovering from a 2-0 halftime deficit to beat AC Milan 4-2 in a thrilling Milan Derby.
Tottenham have notched up a three-match winning run in the Premier League, albeit unconvincingly, featuring a scratchy win over Norwich City followed by fortuitous victories against Manchester City and Aston Villa. They have been helped too by the faltering form of Chelsea, whose 2-0 defeat by Manchester United on Monday means they have gained only six points from the last 18 on offer and whose home results are of particular concern.
European soccer's governing body UEFA will hold an emergency meeting with 55 football federations on Tuesday to discuss the effect of the crisis on domestic leagues, European competitions and Euro 2020 which is due to start in June.

Although the club did sign two young prospects on loan to cover their departures, the Saints reportedly only have the option to buy centre-back Kevin Danso, with full-back Kyle Walker-Peters set to return to Tottenham. A striker may also be on Ralph Hasenhuttl's shopping list, as Shane Long's departure leaves him with only Danny Ings, teenager Michael Obafemi and 23-year-old Che Adams, who is yet to score for the club.
Are they trying to make things so big that all the little incidents that happen every weekend in Italy just look normal? I don't understand what they expect, what kind of reaction do you expect with this kind of act? I just don't get it, I don't see the point. At a news conference on Monday, artist Simone Fugazzotto, who always uses monkeys in his work, said: "For an artist there is nothing more important than trying to change the perception of things through his own work.

Jose Mourinho has lost three games in a row for only the fourth time during his managerial career, doing so once with Porto, Chelsea and Manchester United.

Wolves have both scored and conceded in 20 different Premier League games this season (W6 D9 L5), a competition high.
The win moves Bournemouth to 23 points from 24 games while Brighton are two points ahead of them in 15th position in the standings.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's side let slip a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 on Saturday but remained in control at Selhurst Park after superb goals by Nathan Redmond and Stuart Armstrong.
