West Ham ended November on a massively positive note last weekend when they beat Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, ending a dismal run of form and breathing new optimism into the London Stadium. That optimism was short lived though, with a midweek trip to Molineux resulting in a 2-0 defeat to Wolves and leaving them 15th in the table.
I was shocked and the players were shocked as well, even though it is Mr Constantin and FC Sion. Valloni said. He refuted the suggestion that the players were doing nothing. The players are working, even if they cannot train with the team. They have individual training programmes, so they work from home.

The visitors don’t have the greatest form backing them here, while they aren’t really excelling against the league’s top sides. Sheffield Wednesday's seven league wins this season have been against teams currently in the bottom eight in the division. Now they need to turn that form around at a West Brom side who are unbeaten in six against the Owls.
Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser has played his last game for the club, says manager Eddie Howe. The Scotland international was set to leave the Premier League club when his contract expired on 30 June. Howe confirmed the 26-year-old was not training with the squad, with Bournemouth set to host Crystal Palace on Saturday. This isn't the end that we wanted for him or that I know he wanted for his time at the club," Howe said.
In doing so with seven games to spare, it was the earliest point in the season a team that achieved the feat. Marshalled in defence by colossal centre-back Virgil van Dijk and reliable goalkeeper Alisson, the vaunted front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino were allowed to flourish at the other end of the pitch. The fact they sealed the title so early may have cost them in their pursuit of a host of records they were on course to break.
Fulham manager Scott Parker told BBC Radio London:"I am disappointed we have not been able to get a result out of the game, but I am disappointed with our performance as well. We didn't defend well and I didn't think we had enough quality in the final third. At both ends of the pitch we weren't on it and ultimately we need to improve on that.
Football is a major player in this country and lots of footballers past and present have a huge conscience about what we do and doing the right thing. I'm sure we will do the right thing, through the PFA (Professional Footballers' Association) through the LMA (League Managers Association) and the Premier League and FA.

We’re confident that both teams will score on Saturday and we have predicted final scoreline of 2-1 in Barnet’s favour. The hosts have been at their strongest at home while Fylde have looked vulnerable on the road this season but do head into Saturday’s clash in good form. We are expecting a close and competitive ninety-minute but believe Barnet will come out on top, just.
No players have publicly committed to the proposed tour but despite these seemingly daunting hurdles, the PGL sounds upbeat about its chances of getting off the ground. The statement said the tour would be "an individual and team league" with 12 teams of four players vying for a world championship. Ten of the 18 events would be in the United States.
But there are discussions with the Premier League's broadcast partners about what would be reasonable in making the other 45 games free-to-air. That could mean games being streamed live on the Premier League's or a broadcaster's YouTube channel. Last month, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden told a Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport select committee: "I have said to the Premier League it wouldn't send the best signal if they were one of the first major sports to resume behind closed doors and the public at large couldn't have access to it.

For me it is quick, attacking, flowing football with the right intent. There is no intention to take it back to the keeper. We have players with pace, quality and skill. I wouldn't want James, Lingard, Martial and Rashford running at me. Sir Alex Ferguson, left, and David Gill, right, watched Saturday's game at the EtihadUp in the directors' box, Solskjaer's mentor, Sir Alex Ferguson, certainly enjoyed the 2-1 win at Manchester City.

Olympic champion Adam Peaty will take part in a virtual bike race tomorrow to raise money for the NHS. A 100km race on Zwift, with boxer Callum Johnson also taking part. Contract extension for Muller Some actual non-coronavirus related football news from Germany, where Thomas Muller has signed a contract extension at Bayern Munich until 2023! 10:13 - Rangers players, staff defer wages Rangers manager Steven Gerrard says the decision by the club's players, directors and staff to defer wages by three months during the COVID-19 pandemic was a "no-brainer".
Video - 'The title race is over, it's done' - Guardiola00:59 09:10 - Sinclair apologises for Liverpool ‘bin dippers’ jibe Former Manchester City player Trevor Sinclair has apologised for his ‘bin dipper’ tweet aimed at Liverpool. City closed the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to eight points on Tuesday with a 4-1 win at Burnley.
The away team have not won any of their past 10 away matches against all teams. They have not been able to win away at this teams ground either for a long time. At times some of the matches looked very one sided, with the home team being able to score a little too easily in the matches. Home team have not lost to much at home and will probably not be losing to a team who does not win often in away matches. The away team does not stay focused long enough in their matches to have any chance
On Wednesday, they allowed a two-goal lead at home to Aberdeen slip. Then, against Hamilton they had most of the possession and chances, but failed to sparkle in the final third before being hit by a late sucker punch. Coming to the business end of the season, that sort of slackness is unforgiveable, and manager Alex Dyer said as much after the game. The boys were unprofessional," said Dyer. Hamilton went down to 10 men, we had control and a lot of chances but not being clinical, and then we let them in from some rash play.

Hughes: "Winning that penalty wasn't luck. We always left three up the park, and it let Watkins get one-on-one. Tansey stepped up and you think 'no problem' because he doesn't miss. But Celtic were trying to delay it. Tansey: "It was about four minutes I was stood over the ball, and for a lot of that time Van Dijk was in my ear. I can't repeat what he said but he had my favourite aftershave on so he smelled the part at least.
Paper Round’s view: Pogba has underperformed for United and would be happier elsewhere. Buying one or both of Maddison and Grealish would refocus United’s strategy of buying younger, British talent who are less likely to agitate for a move away in tougher times. Whether they are good enough to get the club back into the top four is yet to be demonstrated.
But of course it was a chastening evening for the children of Liverpool, the score 4-0 at half-time and frankly they should be pleased they kept it to 5-0 by full-time. The goals came from Conor Hourihane, an own-goal by Morgan Boyes, two from Jonathan Kodja and one by Wesley Moares. Villa celebrated each and every one, and so they should as well: it’s not their fault that things have conspired to lead everyone to this point, and they’re a newly-promoted team who has just qualified for the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Although Lazzari was at least 30 metres from goal, referee Michael Fabbri judged that he had been denied a scoring chance, amid angry protests from the Juventus players. Five minutes later, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic latched on to Luis Alberto's cross to put Lazio in front. Ciro Immobile had a penalty saved before substitute Felipe Caicedo scored a third goal in stoppage time.
We gave them too much respect. Our season is not going to be defined by defeats by Man City and Liverpool. You have to learn from this. We have to ask why weren't we competitive and why we gave them too much respect. Goals, goals, goals - the statsSince the start of the 2016-17 season, Manchester City have scored 343 Premier League goals - 42 more than any other team. This was Pep Guardiola's 300th top-flight league win as a manager - he has reached that tally in just 390 games with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and City.
Italy, Serie B, I want to give a forecast for the match Pordenone - Ascoli. The second and ninth lines of the standings are found. The hosts are on the second line and probably they need to gain a foothold because victory gives the opportunity to enter the series a. The last matches are kept in good shape, there is not a single loss in eight matches. Guests play rather poorly, three out of five losses, the total for five matches is 1 to 2. On average, the ratio for the hosts drops, since the probability of winning is great. Good luck
The competition's preliminary round draw is scheduled on June 9 and the group stage draw is set for Aug. It is very likely indeed, practically certain, that City will seek 'provisional measures' from the CAS," leading Sports Law Barrister, John Mehrzad told Reuters. That is their only way at present to seek such a stay of the disciplinary sanction since CAS has, at present, exclusive jurisdiction over the appeal under the UEFA Statutes.
I know how to play Fifa," he said. If you keep playing and keep thinking about it you’re just going to put more pressure on yourself. When the time comes I’ll be ready. When the season does resume, the final few games of the season are expected to be David Silva’s last in a City shirt. The Spaniard is out of contract in the summer and he has been tipped to leave the club after a decade of service at Etihad Stadium.
