The aim of that was for each player to read them and think 'I am going to win the cup for all of you'. I'd used it before, when I'd worked with Bolton, before the Championship play-off final in 2001 when they beat Preston. Bolton won that game 3-0 and I knew that for a long time Sam Allardyce, who was Wanderers boss then, still carried his envelope with his messages in it around with him. Gudni Bergsson, their centre-half, used to keep his in his boot bag.
RATING: D - - - - - CRYSTAL PALACE Cenk Tosun fills their void of needing a striker, but Roy Hodgson will not have been too pleased to see a move for right-back Nathan Ferguson fall through when they have not really replaced Aaron Wan-Bissaka still. Hodgson will also likely be disgruntled at missing out on Jarrod Bowen who opted for West Ham instead.
Some people point the blame at former manager Arsene Wenger, but I don't agree with that. Even his worst Gunners team would beat this current Arsenal side, easily. There just seems a total lack of a cohesive plan at the club when it comes to things like scouting, recruitment and contracts, and I feel sorry for current manager Mikel Arteta, because none of it is his fault. Since Wenger has gone, there has been a scattergun approach - and it has not worked.
the Villefranche fc team and the Quevilly Rouen fc team, go head to head in France National League. The Villefranche fc team is in 3rd position with 35 points Collected. While guest team the Quevilly Rouen fc team came in 14th place by collecting 18 points.
Only 31% of Northampton’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals this season and only 38% of both Northampton’s home matches and Morecambe’s away games have seen both teams score. The hosts have kept clean sheets in an impressive 46% of their home matches this season while Morecambe have failed to score in 46% of their games on the road.
And after the Portuguese youngster dazzled during pre-season, scoring once and providing two assists in a remarkable 7-3 thrashing of Real Madrid, it looked as though Atletico were poised to enter a new and exciting era of attacking football spearheaded by the world's most gifted teen. Sadly for the Rojiblancos, the opposite has transpired. After a bright start, Felix has faded dramatically, scoring just four goals in 23 appearances before being ruled out by a hamstring injury at the end of January.
Zeledon and Lemon will face to face in the premier league Costa Rica on Sunday. These two team follow each other in the table, they have got the worst two performance at home, while running a winless streak at away.

There is a big onus on the players, they have to conduct themselves professionally outside of this environment. We are only as strong as our weakest link. If anyone doesn't follow the guidance they put the group at risk. So far we have had no positive results and we can only do that if we stop the players from being complacent. If any players test positive for coronavirus they face at least seven days in isolation, but Catterson says that training equipment will help them with any required contact tracing.
However, despite what might have looked like a less threatening side, Wolves started well holding off the table-toppers, who took the lion’s share of possession and shots in the first half. Though you might have expected the visitors to sit back and defend, they pressed forwards as best they could without their main men, nonetheless Liverpool looked the superior side, literally running rings around their opponents.
Subs: Schneiderlin 6, Kean 6. Matchcast: Full match stats and commentary KEY MOMENTS 8' - EVERTON CHANCE. Djibril Sidibe rasps an 18-yard drive just over the top after Lucas Digne had picked him out with a clever ball from the left. GOAL! Leicester 0-1 Everton. Richarlison finishes off a slick move as he bullets a header into the corner from Sidibe's fine cross.
Three of Augsburg's six Bundesliga away games have seen under 2.5 goals this season. Meanwhile, this fixture has also produced low scoring contests in recent times. Four of the last six meetings between these two teams have seen under 2.5 goals scored.
The visitors have lost 67% of their games this season, so it’s hard to see how they can stay up this term. They opened up 2020 with yet another loss, while Samp are aiming to pile onto their problems. The hosts are boosted by the fact that in the last three Serie A seasons (since 2017/18) the Sampdoria striker Fabio Quagliarella has scored 11 goals in 14 meetings against newly-promoted teams, including three braces.
On paper, this looks like a very tight game, with both sides having shown great quality in defence in their previous matches as well as good promise in attack. Matches between the two have not been high scoring in recent meetings and with the defensive attributes seen in the earlier four games, we expect this to follow that script. A low scoring draw at 90 minutes could pass here.
Whether other clubs would have the same impact as Roma is debatable. Part of the club's success comes from having an established social media audience which transcends Italian borders. But having seen how the campaign has drawn fans together, Rogers believes that more clubs could unite to launch a similar campaign for International Missing Children's Day on 25 May. Five children were reunited with their families after Roma's campaign, but imagine if clubs such as Barcelona or Manchester United or Liverpool all got involved," he says.
Much like with Liverpool, Tottenham don’t necessarily deserve any special credit for doing this, doing the right thing only after being harangued for doing the wrong thing, but at least they have listened. Which goes to show that clubs do listen sometimes, so when they’ve done something wrong, shout at them.

Hello everyone tipsters from this great game. This is a my second bet for today again from England but now I will take this bet from League 1 between this two teams. They need to take win here if they want to play next year in the Championship. The guest team have three points more and they have two games less that's why they are in good position to attack the sixth place. Ipswich need to take win because if they lose here three points everything for them will finish today. I think here the home team will take a win.
Human rights and labour groups slammed Qatar's treatment of migrant workers, used to build new stadiums and infrastructure for the tournament and, while reforms have been welcomed by bodies such as the International Labour Organisation, Al Thawadi says the country is “always ready to improve”. The World Cup has also raised questions about Qatar's alcohol laws, given that international fans would normally expect to be able to enjoy a beer or two and the country limits alcohol sales to a handful of hotels.
However, since then the Mariners have turned their form around and they come into this match undefeated in their five league matches and pulling away from the danger zone. Despite this good form, their is still plenty of work to be done as the Mariners still need to improve on their poor record in front of goal, and considering that they have not managed to score more than once in any of their last 14 league games, it is a record which does not look like improving any time soon.
So from that point, I am not so worried. UEFA said there would not be a repeat of the logistical problems which surrounded this year's Europa League final in Baku between English clubs Arsenal and Chelsea. Arsenal complained to UEFA about the difficulties their fans experienced in reaching the Baku, describing the situation as "unacceptable.
Under the genial Joe Mercer and his innovative assistant Malcolm Allison, an all-English City side with an exciting attack-minded style had won every domestic competition going in the previous 24 months, and they were far from finished. In that 1969-70 campaign, I used to talk to the other players about 'Franny's Grand Slam'," Lee explained. I had the attitude that we should try to win everything we took part in.
With football halted across the globe, however, FIFA is aware that it may well have to deal with a series of different agreements and possible complaints, and its guidelines urge any cuts to be "proportionate". FIFA's Coronavirus working group met last week and agreed on a wide range of issues, summarised in the document, including that player contracts due to run out in June should be extended to the end of any resumed season.
Hamstring injuries vary in their severity but typically a tear could result in around month on the sidelines. It would be a major blow to Tottenham who are six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea after mediocre results at Christmas. His quality, the routines we have for him, every minute of every game he doesn't play we will miss him," Mourinho said.
Odds are fine with me for the over 3.5 goals bet to happen here in this one as both games played between them already in the start of the season in this second league level in Belgium ended actually with 5 goals scored in both those games with Virton winning first with 5-0 on the road and a month ago they hosted Roeselare and also won the game but a bit harder with just 3-2 in the end still games with plenty of goals scored in them and so will take the over 3.5 goals bet to happen here as well at decent odds.
They have scored in each of their last seven matches, keeping four clean sheets in the process. However, on only one occasion were they able to score more than one goal in their last 10 matches. At home, Burnley have not lost any of their last seven league matches and of their 18 home matches, they have managed eight wins, giving them a 44% winning rate at home in the league.
I have got a really bad news for Amstetten, the Red Bull Salzburg are on fire. They received 21 goals on the last 4 friendly matches in 2020 and they reached 6 goals vs Zenit, BW Linz and Al Arabi. They advanced to the next round in Cup with 7-1 and 5-0 in the previous rounds. Haaland go to BVB and Asian midfielder choosed Liverpool, but the academy staff do excellent work. They play a fast football, the midfielder join the attacks often and the offense very strong in front of net. Amstetten is an amateur team, they are very happy to reach this phase of Cup. The difference is big, the home team will try everything but Salzburg show their quality in Champions League. Salzburg win 5+ goals.

Gerard Pique was a big reason why they weren’t able to pull that off, with the Barcelona centre back making a number of big tackles and interventions to stop the visitors from finding the back of the net. Clement Lenglet and Martin Braithwaite also impressed for the home side.

Liverpool will wake up to pain on Thursday because they revel in their status as European royalty. Defeats such as this hurt badly, especially when they are inflicted at Anfield. There will not be much in the way of consolation right away - but it is back to Premier League business in the Merseyside derby at Everton on Monday. And the thing all Liverpool fans have dreamed about for the past 30 years is still only two wins away.
Now, one is the poster boy of a rotting defence and the other is glued to the bench. Dele Alli was once battling Kylian Mbappe for the Golden Boy award.

Obviously I knew best. Hence this tweet in the 62nd minute. Mahrez - who will now no doubt score - has been really poor today. Odd selection by Guardiola. Literally as fingers were lifted from the keyboard, Mahrez tricked a Brighton defender before unleashing a right-foot rising drive that tore past Brighton keeper Mat Ryan from 20 yards. In this moment the title was won and even the flimsy safety net of suggesting Mahrez might score was no protection from the scorn.

Luton Town legend Radomir Antic, who went on to manage Spanish giants Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, has died at the age of 71. Antic spent four years with Luton, famously scoring the goal that kept the Hatters in the top flight at the expense of Manchester City in 1983. Antic's biggest successes in management came at Atletico, with whom he won La Liga and the Copa del Rey in 1996. The former Yugoslavia defender also had a spell in charge of Serbia.
