The government was saying it was a low risk at the time, but of course just a few days later they completely locked down the country; they banned sports and events and large gatherings," said Rotheram. And this could have happened sooner. I haven't got access to the government's scientific advisors, but they would have been asking those questions. That's why I think an inquiry needs to tease out just what the government was being advised to do at that time.
The Dale have struggled for most of the season in League One, and ahead of their meeting with Newcastle they are hovering just a few places above the drop zone. Yet, Rochdale have regularly found another gear in cup competitions this term.
One aspect of Ipswich's game, especially on the road, that is encouraging ahead of this match is their ability to score goals. Even during their slump, they scored goals away from home, notching four in their last two. They've only failed to score twice away from home this term.
They have also lost more points from winning positions than any other Premier League side this season (12), bringing into question whether the players had the motivation to fight on their manager's behalf. And, for a club with Champions League aspirations and one now settled into a world-class stadium, it is perhaps this final statistic that sealed Pochettino's fate. Tottenham's tally of 14 points is their lowest after 12 games of a Premier League season in 11 years.
Not only did Bristol City fail to really put their stamp on the game at Ashton Gate, but their recent away-day efforts in the Championship haven't been great. They frankly dominated by Wigan last time out, so much so that they were very fortunate to walk away with a two-goal victory, while they'd lost two on the bounce prior to that, losing against Charlton and Sheffield Wednesday. In both of those games, the Robins once again failed to really leave their mark.
Following a full and thorough investigation, the police have now confirmed they will take no further action. In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: "A man arrested on Sunday, 17 May following an allegation of rape has been released with no further action. The incident is therefore no longer being investigated by police. Chelsea have declined to comment. Hudson-Odoi, who has three England caps and in September signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea, was the first Premier League player to test positive for coronavirus.
Money that goes to the government, money that is helping the NHS. Hard to argue with a word of that. Let's remember here players are just employees. Kyle Walker There is a move over Jamie Vardy, Kyle Walker is having a party quip in this absolute shambles somewhere if it was not so serious What. On. Earth.
Leicester's win over 10-man Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium was the biggest ever top flight away win in English soccer and it left the Saints in the relegation zone with the worst goal difference in the league. However, Southampton have tightened up considerably since that humiliation, conceding only 13 goals in 11 games, and have moved up to 12th in the standings ahead of Saturday's trip to Leicester.
The scoreline doesn't do their dominance justice. Three goals ahead at half-time, United looked in real danger of being truly humiliated. Hardly famous for its atmosphere, Old Trafford went deadly silent as fans contemplated how ugly the game could turn. Taking 15 shots at goal, City passed up a number of chances and took their foot off the gas after the break.
Well the odd here is just too good to be misses IMO and this is a very good value no doubt. This is a duel between two of the possibly best teams at this league and for sure two teams that are going to fight for promotion until the same and.BOTH teams are so far at very good shape with slightly advantage to the hosts but Vaprus showed that they cannot be underestimated this year. Both teams are similar in quality and don't have much experienced players but they do have some very good and young talented individuals who can make a difference at matches like this.
It's really encouraging, so for us as players, why would we say we can only get to the quarter-finals? That would be strange. We all believe we can win it. What's Gareth Southgate like as a manager?He's an unbelievable manager. He has a different coaching style and personality to Jurgen. He's obviously less animated but essentially the aims and ambitions are the same. They are both winners and want to win every game they can.

Only the Bundesliga's current top two, RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach have outscored these two teams over the past six games.
AC Horsens is going to face Esbjerg. The hosts of this match won two of the last three matches in the league and they look well. Today they got a chance for another victory but I don't think they will be able to beat Esbjerg. The visitors play on the same level and we saw in the last matches between these teams that it is difficult to say who is better. The last matches has ended with the results of 1:1 and today I will not be surprised if we will see another 1:1 result. My bet here is Asian handicap 0 for Esbjerg as I think they will take 3 points here
Have I been personally approached? Yes, and my team's been aware of it and we've delved into the details of it and trying to figure it all out, just like everyone else," said Woods.

There's a lot of information that we're still looking at and whether it's reality or not, but just like everybody else, we're looking into it.

As Mo Salah raced on to goalkeeper Alisson's injury-time clearance, held off the chasing Daniel James and rolled his finish beyond United keeper David de Gea, there was almost a symbolism about the celebrations. We're going to win the league" rang around Anfield at greater volume and with greater conviction than it has for years, certainly since Liverpool faltered at the finish under Brendan Rodgers in 2014.
Again, it worked perfectly but like every formation it came with a calculated risk versus reward. Media playback is not supported on this device Foxes were 'absolutely amazing' on historical day - Brendan Rodgers Their diamond meant they dominated the centre of the pitch because they had four men versus three in the middle, so they outnumbered Villa there and won every second ball. That gave them the chance to get James Maddison on the ball, in space, a lot.
Lamouchi celebrates anniversaryForest's win to consolidate their place in the play-offs came a year to the day since Frenchman Lamouchi replaced Martin O'Neill as boss.

Lamouchi arrived at the City Ground as the Reds' 13th full-time boss in just over eight years.

Testing players seems unsupportive and absolutely anti-patriotic in these conditions. Rubiales reiterated La Liga's message that the season should be finished normally, even if it is played up to and even beyond June 30, after UEFA pushed the Euro 2020 Championship back a year. The competitions must be finished, before June 30 if possible, but this date doesn't have to be a wall, the objective is that all competitions finish in the fairest way," Rubiales added.

Midfielder Paul Pogba and forward Marcus Rashford remain on the sidelines. MATCH FACTSHead-to-headDerby have lost their past eight FA Cup ties against Manchester United, most recently in the third round in 2018.
TALKING POINT - Should the goal have stood? There will be some hoo-ha after the match over the legitimacy of the goal, but it is for the sides to be ready for the referee. If he thought they’d had enough time to get themselves ready - and it seemed that way - then so be it. Dunk should be praised for his quick thinking, and Liverpool need to be wary of slipping into complacency.

Another match where both teams are going to fight for that promotion in fact for that play off place. Both teams for this match are having quite a few absences so the coaches will have to rotate a bit. Virtus Entella are at the 11th place with 38 pts and overall of 10 - 8 - 11 ; 36 - 38 while Salernitana are at the 7th place with 43 pts and overall of 12 - 7 - 10 ; 37 - 33. Both teams lately are very shaky at the back and are not trustworthy for sure so I don't think that we are going to see one open match here.
