He signed a two-year deal when he took over from Valverde but could lose his job if a new president is appointed and wants to bring his own head coach, perhaps Xavi. What does it mean for Messi? Like the majority of Barcelona supporters, Messi appears to be frustrated with the way the club is being run and this latest statement is his way of challenging the hierachy.

With Huddersfield coming off back to back 2-1 victories, we are going for the same again when these two clash on Wednesday. That scoreline has landed in three of Stoke’s away trips and three of Huddersfield’s home victories this term. The Potters have been beaten by a single goal in 67% of their away losses, so we see them being edged out by Huddersfield.
Holders Celtic continue their defence of the Scottish Cup with a semi-final against Aberdeen. Neil Lennon's men are in pursuit of a fourth consecutive domestic treble after seeing off St Johnstone on Sunday. Edinburgh rivals Hearts and Hibernian meet in the other last-four clash, having beaten Inverness and Rangers respectively in the quarter-finals. The semi-finals will be played at Hampden on 11 and 12 April.
We are not the government, we run football. If things get worse or out of control we will have to suspend the tournament to protect lives. The number of confirmed cases had risen to five by Friday. Players said they were not consulted about the decision to keep playing, which was taken after a meeting between the league and club owners, many of whom get financial support from the government of Nicaragua's authoritarian president Daniel Ortega.
I've had quieter breakfasts, if I'm honest. The milk hadn't even touch the Weetabix (other breakfast cereals are available, but they're not as good) when Tottenham announced that they had completed a deal to bring in Jose Mourinho less than 12 hours after announcing the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino.
Posted at 58' Moussa Djenepo (Southampton) wins a free kick in the attacking half. Manchester City have won seven of their last eight games against Burnley. Burnley have already lost three home league games this season. Burnley have failed to score in their last three games against Manchester City. Manchester City suffered another blow on Saturday when being held to a 2-2 draw by Newastle United leaving them in second, 11 points behind Liverpool.
Despite some pleasing attacking efforts, Rochdale suffered defeat on Boxing Day. Once again, Brian Barry-Murphy's men paid the price for being too weak at the back. They scored twice and played some decent football at home to Fleetwood but were simply undone by a lack of defensive strength. If they don't tighten up at the back, then Dale will struggle to do anything other than flirt with relegation.
Perhaps less intuitively, Kevin de Bruyne also makes the cut. Interesting. We can only assume that Joon-ho is a Manchester City fan. Or perhaps he'd like the opportunity to deconstruct De Bruyne's process as he explored the role of 'Kevin, from Home Alone. View more on twitterJoon-ho also adds that the guests would be eating lots of Spanish cuisine - paella. Hopefully that's compatible with Kevin's strict diet plan.
I think [we need] a collective sit-down at the end of the season with everybody - referees, managers, players and anybody involved in football who loves the game can have an input - to try to get it closer to where we want to get it to. Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho fears football 'going in wrong direction' after VAR controversyThe International Football Association Board, the body that determines the laws of the game, states: "Accidental handball by an attacking player should only be penalised if it 'immediately' results in a goal or an obvious opportunity for the player and/or their team to score a goal (i.

Tomorrow night is a huge game for him. Not winning on Sunday adds pressure. Former Celtic and Scotland striker Craig Beattie on BBC Radio Scotland's SportsoundThe people I speak to, the majority of Rangers fans are happy with Steven Gerrard and are happy with the team and the performances.

After previously finding the net against Chelsea and Club Bruges, Anthony Martial has now scored in three consecutive games, something he has not managed since September 2017. Solskjaer, though, says it is "a coincidence" Martial has started scoring following Bruno Fernandes' £47m arrival from Sporting Lisbon.
Newcastle have landed "a big coup" in signing Danny Rose until the end of the season, manager Steve Bruce says. Left-back Rose - brought in on loan from Tottenham - is Newcastle's third signing of the January transfer window after deals for Nabil Bentaleb and Valentino Lazaro. The 29-year-old arrives at a time where Newcastle have lost full-backs Paul Dummett and Jetro Willems to injury. It's a great honour for me to be here," said England international Rose.
I see good chances that this game ends up in a high scoring affair as for example when they met at Cardiff earlier this season Cardiff won the game with 4-2 in the end so both teams scoring goals back than in a fixture which had no less than 6 goals being scored total in it while lately both are high scoring, Cardiff won this week in the cup the replay against 4th league club Carlisle with 4-3 on the road this after drawing 2-2 the first game at home.

Former Manchester United forward Dwight Yorke and ex-Liverpool striker Emile Heskey are among others set to play. The FootballForFires match will take place at Sydney's ANZ Stadium on Saturday, 23 May. Football Federation Australia chief James Johnson said the game promised "to be a unique and memorable event".
We have a responsibility to preserve our core functions that regulate and serve English football. We also have a duty to support our men's and women's senior teams in their efforts to win major tournaments. That means we have set out in our proposals some difficult choices because we do not think we can afford to do all the things that we did before. We believe the impact of this crisis is to force us to focus more than ever on our key priorities.

Glenn Murray returned for a rare start up front and he made Maupay's goal with a flick-on, which the former Brentford striker buried for his 10th goal of the season. The Seagulls were on top in the first half but then showed fine defensive commitment to keep the hosts down to one goal in reply. Southampton had 15 efforts in the second half, with Brighton goalkeeper Ryan making one sensational save in particular when he turned Jannik Vestergaard's 25-yard strike against the crossbar.
Their season is now about ensuring they qualify for the Champions League next season. One problem they have had is the number of games they have drawn, a total of ten so far. Current league form isn't that good with only one win in their last five league games. That was a 1-0 home win over Granada who have lost eight of 12 away league fixtures.

They are currently third in the table but the gap between them and Manchester City in second is now four points. Leicester are still 11 points clear of fifth placed Sheffield United, so a return to the Champions League is looking good. As for their opponents, their hopes rest on an appeal against their two-year ban.
We work more physically, and we work on what we eat. Although we're a small country, these are the kind of things that we try to do better. That's why sometimes the difference between us and big countries on the pitch is small. Even so, chances are inevitably few and far between for Andorra, yet Lima has still managed to become their leading scorer with 11 goals. That total includes strikes against Wales, the Republic of Ireland and Belgium.
Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo: "I'm not frustrated. I think we didn't play well enough to win. We didn't move the ball fast enough. Fast circulation of the ball allows you to open spaces, but that was one of the issues today. The Newcastle goalkeeper had a very good game. We didn't produce many, but we had clear, clear chances.
The earliest start date - currently set at April 30 - is expected to be pushed back and there will also be talks about playing behind closed doors or using a limited number of locations to play games. Jones happy to take pay cut England coach Eddie Jones says agreeing to a pay cut during the coronavirus shutdown was an easy decision to make.
Things have been great for Blackburn in recent weeks, who have seen their season turn around. They’ve won as many games since the 23rd of November (5) as they had in the three and a half months before that. Now they meet a Wigan side who are fighting for survival.
And when the Warm-Up realised he’d been given the responsibility of adding colour to PSG’s crucial closed-doors clash with Borussia Dortmund, of bringing the atmosphere to a game with no fans, we were a little trepidatious. But the big man smashed it: “It’s like Strictly Come Dancing … but without the music.
Video - Lampard promises Rudiger support after alleged racist incident00:29 "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 on-going," the club have said.
In my days as a trader, you would try to hedge your trades to minimise losses. So if Wolves win, I'd obviously pick up 10 points. But if West Ham draw or win, then I'll be personally happy as my club pick up points. I hedged my bets so I'm happy either way. It is win-win, as they say. Liverpool v Everton (20:15 GMT)Everton boss Marco Silva's future is still in doubt, but I thought his side were much better against Leicester on Sunday, despite their late defeat.

Striker Jermain Defoe, though, is convinced they can harness that disappointment. The good thing is that everybody knows how big it is," the former England forward told the Beautiful Game podcast. I have sensed that in the pre-season, how hard everyone is working. We don't want to make the same mistakes we made in the second half of the season. I look at the dressing room and I believe we can go all the way.
I really see plenty of goals in this friendly match and of course, I will try to bet on this option. So, it is clear that this two very strange teams are in this moment playing very efficient and I just hope that both of them can be on similar level and this time. Lida is in last two friendly matches played 2-4 and 1-0, while Volna is in last two duels played more than efficient, 2-2 and 5-0. Yea, with this results, over is ok for me and I will just bet on that option. It is ok really.
Phew. The 38-year-old veteran keeper suffered a heart attack while training with Porto last year and he spoke about how fortunate he was to have been well taken care of.

Lawro's prediction: 1-2Simon's prediction: I don't see Norwich having any way out now but a draw would at least give them something to smile about. Leicester v Crystal Palace (15:00 BST)Leicester have really suffered from the break in the Premier League season because they still look short of their usual sharpness, even after four games back. The Foxes just are not scoring goals at the moment, but I think things will click for them again in front of goal soon.
