The president wants us to discuss football but you all know what's expected of you tomorrow," the Manchester City half-back reportedly told his men. All I've got to say is, go to your bed, put your head on your pillow and pray for rain. A sodden, heavy surface would give the diminutive Scotland forwards scope to befuddle the lumbering England defenders and, mercifully, the rain was "stoatin aff the grund" by the time dawn broke over London.
But from round 3 onwards, FC Slutsk (R) has returned to the ground with a frail face. Specifically, they only had 2 more draws and received 5 losses in 7 matches in the Belarus reserve tournament. At this time, the Slutsk team dropped to 13th place in the rankings.
Now he must justify it. Hodgson's top class jobRoy Hodgson is nowhere near as fashionable as Eddie Howe - and it was understandable he received so much criticism following his England failure in the last 16 in Euro 2016. There is no question, however, that Hodgson is in his element at Palace, building a side that is solid in defence, dangerous in attack and solid enough to ensure Premier League solidity.

The Allianz Riviera has proved pivotal for Nice's success this season with them unbeaten in their last three games there. They scored six goals in this time and conceded just the one goal from open play so should be rather confident ahead of this one. These three matches all came against teams much better than Metz like Angers, Bordeaux and Reims so they'll be hoping they can do a job in this one but with the 4-1 defeat still ringing in their ears they could show some anxiety in this game.

Volendam still stand a chance of placing directly in the best Dutch league. In the last round, they unexpectedly played only a draw against Jong AZ. Today is an opportunity for them to show that it was a bad day. Volendam have 4 points less than Cambur but from this league the two best teams go directly to the first league.

Telstar have conceded 11 goals in their last 2 games. Everything is clear to me here

Yes, the way City play is better now but in terms of player-for-player, our team back then was better. I would back us all day if we played them. The current City team can be got at, and people have realised that, so there is no way our defence now is better, in any way. The stats back that up with the number of clean sheets we kept that season - 17 in 38 league games.

If you ask most of the players, that was the highlight of the Champions League. There was a great bond between the travelling supporters and the team," adds O'Leary. We really appreciated what they were doing. They were memorable nights. The draw for the second group phase was no kinder to Leeds than the first, pitting them against the other La Liga giant, Real Madrid, Italian champions Lazio - managed by Sven-Goran Eriksson and boasting such world-class stars as Pavel Nedved, Juan Sebastian Veron and Hernan Crespo - and Anderlecht.
TALKING POINT - Real Madrid must improve, but this could be a landmark moment This is a match that won’t live long in the memory, with both teams lacking any real quality, but it could prove to be a real landmark moment in the La Liga title race and in the season as a whole.

Armenia seriously decided this season to break into the main league of German football. The break did not give them the opportunity to prove it now, but now we must continue to bend our line. There are only two defeats in 25 games, and as a result, first place at the moment, six points ahead of second place, you can feel confident, but you can’t relax, and teams such as Osnabruck must be beaten at the same gate. The guests won the last time back in December, and their last home match lost to Vegan 26. I have not the slightest doubt that Arminius won, the kef is small, but loyal, you can take it for an express train.

We've had a good Europa League run but we let it go," he added.
