Excelsior Mouscron and Oostende are the other two top-flight clubs accused of not fulfilling licensing requirements and financial obligations and under threat of being relegated to Belgian football’s amateur ranks.
They all said fine, let's do it in the tunnel, but then Sir Alex came along, with a face like thunder and said "no-one is giving any shirts to anyone - everyone in the changing room, now". At the time, I remember thinking he was a bit out of order but then you remember the rivalry between the two clubs and the fact he had just been embarrassed by us at their own ground, and I can understand why he was so angry.
With no VAR technology in use Ashley Fletcher raced clear of the Tottenham back three in the 50th minute to slot the home side into the lead. Jose Mourinho immediately made two attacking changes for Tottenham by bringing on Erik Lamela and Giovani Lo Celso. Eleven minutes after going behind the visitors were level, after a superb cross from Serge Aurier was headed home by Moura.
He has had four shots and created seven chances in the last five games and while Spurs have yet to keep a clean sheet under Mourinho, their expected goals against of 3. Mesut Ozil - Yes, we know, we know. Ozil is one of the most frustrating figures, for Arsenal fans and fantasy football players alike. So much talent, but precious little return of late. However, he has started Arsenal's last five games and has created 15 chances in that time.
Antonio Mohamed's side swiftly turned the game around after the interval - Gonzalez' 55th-minute header followed up by Meza's tap-in from Angel Zaldivar's low cross. Gomis struck the equaliser after 66 minutes but failed to settle the match late on. Liverpool face Brazilian side Flamengo in the Club World Cup final later on Saturday (17:30 GMT), the match live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website from 17:15 GMT.
You just play the game. Dalglish's last spell as a player was with KilmarnockUpon returning from Houston for a brief spell at Kilmarnock in 2008, he knew it was time to hang up the boots. My body was broken, I couldn't even get through training. That's when I knew I was done. It wasn't fair on anybody for me to keep playing. He went back Houston for a coaching role with the Dynamos academy and has been in America ever since, criss-crossing the country with moves to different clubs and jobs.
And those of us working on the Liverpool Daily Post saw our 24-page "Liverpool Double Winners" special edition - all written and waiting for the final glorious chapter to be written - go straight in the bin. Stan Collymore scored twice as Liverpool beat Newcastle in a classic in April 1996Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle United - Anfield, 3 April 1996One of the great Premier League games in which the brilliance and flaws of Kevin Keegan's superb Newcastle United side were laid bare.
And with a seven-point point deficit to second-placed West Brom to overturn, their chances appear even slimmer with 23-goal top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic likely to be banned after an apparent off-the-ball elbow on Ben White that went unpunished early on. However, Fulham still need to go to The Hawthorns, where a win could rekindle their hopes and boost those of Brentford, who only face two sides in the top half of the table during their final seven games.
City have lost six of their past nine matches, failing to keep a clean sheet in that time and also struggling for creativity. Despite now having Wells, Afobe and top goalscorer Famara Diedhiou to call upon, it was the visitors who looked the more dangerous throughout. Recalled keeper Maenpaa twice had to make good saves after the break, including a fine one-handed stop to deny Murphy, while Wickham dragged an effort wide when he should have made it 3-0.
Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid celebrates with The Champions League trophy after the UEFA Champions League Final between Juventus and Real Madrid at National Stadium of Wales on June 3, 2017 in Cardiff, Wales.

Going to this game, Ulsan seems the stronger of the two; they have a stronger squad and have strengthened even more. They will be more confident than a much changed Sangju side who play knowing too well they will still be relegated. Sangju may have a few hungry players, but they will definitely take time to gel and their inexperience will be no match for Ulsan. We predict a 2-0 win for Ulsan.
Home team is have a lot of problems this season and they are team who is fighting for survival in Germany 3rd Bundesliga. Carl Zeiss Jena I have so far just 13 points, and first team in safe zone is have 27 points. Still, they will be surely fight for points, that is clear.

Guests are surely favorites, but I will bet on goals here and enjoy in match.
We have been in self-isolation for almost four weeks. The truth is that it gets boring and we are waiting for some decision regarding the championship," the 25-year-old Masoero, who joined the Plovdiv-based club in 2018, said. It is still not clear when the Bulgarian championship will resume. As of Tuesday, the Balkan country had 565 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus and 22 deaths.
We conveyed that decision to [the SPFL] and ceased taking calls on the subject. We needed time to develop a clearer DFC view on the situation. In the meantime, Dundee say they have discussed options with "a variety" of clubs to "show solidarity" to those negatively impacted by the SPFL's proposal. Were the Dens Park club to vote in favour, Hearts, Partick Thistle and Stranraer would likely be relegated, with other teams denied titles, or promotion through the play-offs.
Manchester United will continue to pay all casual matchday staff even if the remainder of their season is cancelled or played behind closed doors. The Football Association has announced that all elite football is suspended until 30 April because of coronavirus, but United say their staff's earnings will be unaffected. Old Trafford will host four Premier League matches if the season resumes. It is understood the payments total £1m and cover more than 3,000 staff.
Reading were slow getting themselves into the match, though they did eventually press Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Etheridge into action, first through George Puscas' header and then from an innovative and acrobatic flicked effort from Meite. The Royals seemed to be out of contention, however, once Glatzel scored Cardiff's excellent second goal. Sol Bamba set the move in motion as he stole possession and fed Will Vaulks, who played a one-two with Whyte before producing a beautiful lofted pass with the outside of his right boot to free Glatzel, who finished calmly.

However, it would not be this current Arsenal without some shadows lurking in the background. Full-back Kieran Tierney, who has been hampered by injury problems since joining the Gunners from Celtic last summer, limped out of the game in the second half. Also, Matteo Guendouzi was left out of the squad entirely. While manager Mikel Arteta stated that his exclusion was down to "squad management", he also did not entirely dismiss speculation that the Frenchman blotted his copybook by clashing with Neal Maupay at the end of the Brighton game on Saturday.
Midfielder Josh Knight is the only other player to find the net more than once for Posh this season. We've got a great partnership, us three - every game we know we're going to score, and that confidence is a good thing to have," club-record signing Eisa told BBC Sport. The manager [Darren Ferguson] puts so much pressure on us. Because we've got the three of us I think we'll continue this throughout the whole season.
A move to Liverpool would be strange if Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are still at Anfield, but if Manchester United don't qualify for next season's Champions League, it will certainly limit the teen's options if he wishes to compete at the highest level.

That did not stop some fans staging a protest before kickoff about the running of the club, 10 years after it was bought by David Sullivan and David Gold. Moyes, who saved West Ham from the drop in 2017-18 after replacing Slaven Bilic, knows he faces another scrap, especially when they struggle so often at home and fail to build on leads.

With both teams really looking poor in the final third and us predicting there won’t be many goals in the match we’re also predicting that this match will be a rare A-League 0-0 result. Both sides average close to a goal a game and we think they could well cancel each other out in a goalless draw.
These two sides have been almost the exact opposite in terms of form this season. Perth were only able to find one win in their opening seven games but then turned things around with five wins in a row. The faith showed by Tony Popovic in his players has been repaid with some tremendous performances in recent weeks.
And yet twice in the last week he has had to complain publicly about the fact that he essentially does not have a back-room staff and that the team is being run on a shoe-string. The club have refused to bring in coaches to replace Emery's team because Ljungberg is not the permanent boss, so Arteta presumably will be given free rein.
Marcus Rashford scored a goal, and after that you’d have to say that Brandon Williams was the best player. Williams is only a young boy, and for some reason he can’t get regular football in that team. That tells you there’s something wrong at the club if that player can’t get regular game time. Williams should be playing at left-back every single week.
THURSDAY’S BIG STORIES The villain of the piece Say what you like about Mike Ashley, but the man is committed to his character.

I can understand Jon [Moss, referee] getting it wrong but I don't know what VAR are looking at," he said. They have a screen they can go and look at it but they don't seem to be bothered. Fernandes is trying a double drag-back - his first touch is on the ball, his second touch is on Ezri Konsa's shin. His Manchester United counterpart, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, disagreed. I think it's a penalty. The boy sticks out his leg, Fernandes does a fantastic Zidane, Maradona turn and he lands on him," he said.
He did say, however, that referees everywhere were grateful for the safety net provided by VAR.

The problem was the transitions, they scored on the counter. De Bruyne is a fantastic player but when they start like that it's very difficult to get going again and I felt we got low and they got confident.

I like defenders too and good headers. I don't believe too much that these players are perfect for this team and manager.

Meanwhile, whilst reaching the quarter-final of the Taca de Portugal ranks an improvement on Rio Ave's effort last season, it's highly likely to be as far as they go this year. Indeed, the visitors are big underdogs in Tuesday's game and are extremely unlikely to pull off what would be a huge upset.
