Kevin Maguire: In New Zealand you couldn't play with out a referee and couldn't challenge for the ball from behind or the side of the player in possession. Ed Waddington: Indeed, that is still a rule. I've come to like it though, as it removes the usual brawls associated with five-a-side. Steve Doig: I manage a Wednesday night eight-a-side team. I have always loved soccer but since I turned 41 I love it more, playing with mates under the lights is what it's all about.
It was the least Fulham deserved for their relentless first-half pressure, with the absence of injured top goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic perhaps telling as Scott Parker's side squandered at least three guilt-edged opportunities. Ivan Cavaleiro and Josh Onomah were most guilty, both failing to hit the target when well placed, while Denis Odoi deflected Hayden Coulson's cross on to his own crossbar on a rare foray forward from Boro.

I was shaking as I was about to go on," she recalled. I was really nervous. I was getting ready to make sure that, if I got an opportunity, I took it with both hands.

There have been many difficulties this season," said Cannavaro, who has been under pressure throughout the campaign. Every player has contributed and it has not been easy and I emphasized in the locker room that we must play well in the two games that remain. I know Chinese football well and there will be pressure but I hope my players can perform like this until the end of the season.
It's great for everybody, including the fans, to see our players back on the training ground. Asked what date the league was targeting for a return, Masters said the organisation has to be "flexible". He also recognised the need for "contingency plans" and said "curtailment is still a possibility", meaning the season would be stopped. Phase one of the return to training features small groups training with social distancing maintained.
He now has that opportunity. A one-season postponement will also give Marcus Rashford and Callum Hudson-Odoi – the latter instrumental in his fleeting England appearances last season – time to recover for England duty. Meanwhile, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, another player with a decent claim for a starting spot, would have another season to regain the sharpness lost from his horror knee injury in 2018.

He is a good, humble guy. He really is a person who has the world at his feet.

It was reported the Frenchman, 21, had asked to leave the club after being dropped for the win at Southampton. Arteta said Guendouzi was left out for "player management" reasons after clashing with Brighton's Neal Maupay in the previous game last Saturday.

The Wizards have won six of their last eight home games. The Warriors have only won four away matches this season. The Warriors are 2-13 for this year.

They host the Golden State Warriors who are in an even worse position with only 11 wins from 50 matches this season.
This includes 10 in his last 10 starts - a stunning run of prolific goalscoring which is one of the chief reasons that the Saints are now mid-table as opposed to mired in the relegation zone after a run of six wins in nine games. He is also being heavily tipped to return to the England squad. As Ings himself summed it up to BBC Sport's Football Focus: "I am just extremely happy at the moment. But if anyone needs a reminder of just what Ings has come through to get to this place, they need only think back to his one and only previous international cap, in a Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania on 12 October 2015 - a game that should have been the start of something special for the striker, but was instead almost the end.
Well the guests have started playing really attacking minded even away from home at the league leaders from Vejle where they did score 3 goals against one of the best defenses in the league which is quite great but at the same time left a lot of spaces in defense as they lost all points they're losing the game with 5-3 in the end. And last round those attacking minded tactics paid off well as they won 3-0 at home with Fremad Amager and are now just 2 points away from Nykobing who are the first club above the relegation line.
The home team can cause some trouble for a good away team in this match, the home team have showed they can win matches and have won 6 in a row at home.

One point separates the two sides, with Chelsea being fourth with 41 points and Tottenham fifth on 40 points. The two sides have scored same number of goals and conceded almost the same.

I think one of the big boys will come knocking for him," Warnock told BBC Radio 5 Live. It would be very difficult for him to stay at Arsenal unless they get their cheque book out and really go for it over the next window. Mikel Arteta has to prove to him why he should stay at Arsenal. If I was Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, I would be going for him with a year left on his contract. He will challenge the front three and he doesn't need time, he will settle.
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard says he is being "proven wrong" in thinking his squad have the mentality to sustain a Scottish Premiership title push. The Ibrox side conceded two late goals to lose 2-1 to Kilmarnock and slip 10 points behind leaders Celtic.

The home team have found scoring a problem at times and have not been able to score as many goals as they would have wanted in their matches. This could be another low scoring match for them after seeing not many goals in their past 2 matches and seeing under 1.5 goals in these matches. The amount of shots on target have been low and this could be exactly the same for this match. This could be a low scoring match as improvement will also need to be made on their defensive efforts with some recent losing matches in the league.
Defeat on Sunday has left Luton second-bottom in the Championship, with the club completely outclassed by Bristol City. Their thumping 3-0 loss to a side on a four-game losing run should really say it all for this Luton side right now. The visitors coming into this clash with four defeats in five, while they’ve lost 16 of 25 this season.
But they are back to square one, having also lost at Newcastle last time out. They only managed two shots on target against West Ham, with neither Shane Long's header nor James Ward-Prowse's 20-yard shot really threatening Martin. Hasenhuttl - who had gone to a 4-4-2 formation in recent weeks - made a system change at half-time, bringing on midfielder Oriel Romeu for winger Nathan Redmond - and they were better afterwards, but still not good enough.
