It was before the World Cup in South Africa, I’d played well that season and they were struggling with a few injuries. Fabio Capello wanted me to come back, I got a phone call from Stuart Pearce who was on the staff. I had a few days to think about it and I felt I was playing well enough, I just decided that it was wrong, I hadn’t been involved in qualifying and there were other players who had been in the squad for two years, being away from their families.
Pearson is only contracted to the end of the season but Watford's fans who chanted his name on the south coast, appear in no doubt they have finally found the right man. Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is the longest-serving manager in the Premier League, having taken over in 2012, but his side's dreadful slump has put him under the spotlight like never before.
Will Wigan become the latest side to fall to this in form Millwall side? The hosts have seen some good results in recent weeks, including Saturday’s 1-0 victory at playoff-chasing Swansea. Suddenly, Millwall are no longer hanging around the bottom three. They’re away from danger, but the same can’t be said for the visitors.

It may have been unambitious, but it was also accomplished. There was a resilience and authority to Bayern’s defending that was not always evident at the other end, where Johnsen and Schmeichel were very jittery for the first half hour. United were grateful for the majestic Stam, who was a nose ahead of Beckham as their outstanding performer.
Fernandes may have fallen out of favour at Benfica, but perhaps Mourinho’s tough love is, er, just what he needs. As for the length of the loan deal? The Warm-Up was confused, initially, but it makes a certain cynical sense. After all, there’s a decent chance that there’ll be nothing left of Mourinho by that point, bar tears and recrimination.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford will become the youngest person to receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester for his campaign against child poverty. Rashford, 22, campaigned for the government to allow about 1. England's summer holidays. The award is the highest honour the university can bestow. England forward Rashford said it was "a proud day for myself and my family".
Bradford City will host Grimsby Town for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. True, Bradford have a poor results in the last matches. However, Bradford are more ambitious team in this season. They have a chance to reach for one of the top seven places in the table. Also, we have Grimsby who's is very average team in this league. The visitors have highly variable results. Also, Grimsby is not very good team away from home. I expect, Bradford to dominate in this game. They tend to score a goal. My pick - Bradford to win.
Both of these sides have enjoyed their life in front of their own fans much more than life on the road this season, but with the match taking place on Coventry’s “home” patch, that gives them the clear advantage in this fixture. The hosts have earned 77% of their points on home soil this season and have won seven of their 11 matches there to date. This, combined with the fact that Lincoln have lost seven of their 11 away matches and average just 0.91 goals per game on the road, suggests that backing a home win is the way to go.
Their most recent game saw them take on bottom-of-the-table Belshina, with the game ending 1-1. It looked like being a goalless draw but Belshina took an 80th minute lead through a Sergei Glebko penalty. It was the 90th minute when Smolevichi got their equalizer, through a Barusakov penalty. That made it two draws in a row but four without a goal from open play.
Jones went the extra mile and the picture became hugely famous. Booking a seat on the plane England 4-2 Czechoslovakia, 25 April 1990If you want an illustration of just how much football changed in the early 1990s - partially fuelled by Gascoigne - there were just 21,000 fans inside Wembley for this friendly as Bobby Robson finalised his World Cup squad. Gazza was given just his second start for the Three Lions and secured a spot on the plane with a dominant performance, capped with a fine late goal, surging into the area, left foot this time, laced into the roof of the net.
Slovan Bratislava’s home games produce an average of 2.78 goals per game but Braga only concede an average of 1.00 goals per away game, which is why we have backed the visitors to win 2-1 on Thursday. 44% of Slovan Bratislava’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals but only 14% of Braga’s away games have seen them concede goals in both halves, which is another reason we believe the visitors will win on Thursday.

Odds are dropping in this encounter on the home win to happen as the hosts managed to put together two wins in a row at this moment scoring 5 goals in those two wins first a win against Laval with 2-1 at home and last round a 3-1 win on the road at Creteil, but they remain just 4 points above the relegation zone at this moment but they are not facing a tough opponent at all as the guests are the first club above the relegation line right now with 22 points.

La Paillade's home form going into this one is rather exciting. Der Zakarian's men have won seven of their last eight games at the Stade de la Mosson with 17 goals scored and six conceded in this time. The stadium has been a real force for them this season and it could prove an extremely tricky obstacle for PSG in this one.
Manchester United have had a good run in the Europa League, albeit a bit shaky in their away matches. They will need to be at their best here as they face a side very good at home in this competition, with six straight home wins. After their win over City, we feel United will be very confident heading here and for the first time we expect LASK to be shaken at home. A draw seems the most probable outcome here.
Teenager midfielder Oliver Skipp kept the ball ticking in the middle of the park by completing 91% of his 65 passes, while Lo Celso beside him also impressed, highlighting why Spurs paid £27m to sign the Argentine on a permanent deal. With time ticking away, Lo Celso could have won it for Spurs but saw his low drive at the near post kept out by Krul and Fernandes blazed over from a promising position.
The Spanish league said last Thursday that all La Liga matches would be suspended for two weeks amid the coronavirus outbreak. Newspaper El Mundo reported that 76-year-old former Real Madrid president Lorenzo Sanz, head of the club from 1995-2000, has been admitted to a hospital in critical condition.

FC Lokomotiv is shocked by what happened," added the club. This is a huge sorrow for our family. We express our condolences to his family and friends. Samokhvalov played for Lokomotiv’s reserve team Kazanka in Russia’s third tier and was yet to make an appearance in the Russian Premier League since joining the club in 2015. It's horrible. The doctors have told us the cause of death was heart failure," Kazanka coach Alexander Grishin told Russian news agency RIA Novos.

KEY STATS This is West Ham's first win at Chelsea since 2002. Frank Lampard suffers back-to-back defeats for the first time as Chelsea coach. Chelsea were looking for a fourth successive home win without conceding since January 2015. This was Chelsea's 250th Premier League London derby. They've won 128 of them - more than any other team.
Marcus Rashford, Martial and Mason Greenwood, not to mention Matic and Paul Pogba, have all benefited since his arrival. Did you know? Since his Premier League debut on 1 February, Fernandes has created 27 goal-scoring chances for team-mates in the competition, over twice as many as any other United player in that time. Silva: Was that David Silva scurrying around Etihad Stadium like a 20-year-old against Bournemouth? There were moments in the game when I started to wonder where Silva gets the energy from, especially at this stage of his career.
In the waning moments of the first half, LAFC winger Carlos Vela chipped a shot over the outstretched arms of Miami goalie Luis Robles to put the home side ahead for good. Miami had its chances but an equalizer never came on a partly sunny and cool day at the Banc of California stadium in downtown Los Angeles.

Sheffield United continued their remarkable season by beating bottom-of-the-table Norwich 1-0 to move up to sixth in the table, courtesy of club legend Billy Sharp's winning goal. The Blades have played the same number of games as fourth-placed Chelsea - who travel to Everton on Sunday (kick-off 14:00 GMT), and are just two points adrift of a Champions League spot. Time is running out for Daniel Farke's side, six points from a position of safety with just nine games remaining.
Barcelona have only lost one of their last six away league games. Espanyol ended 2019 bottom of La Liga and five points from safety. Probably the last game they wanted to start the new year and decade is a home match against top of the table Barcelona. The home side's stats don't make for good reading.
Amid dwindling attendances and the damaging effects of a debt crisis, Greek soccer has been in turmoil despite government assurances that issues would be tackled, with top teams relegated due to financial problems and frequent closed-door matches because of crowd violence. The meeting in Athens between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Aleksander Ceferin, the president of European soccer's ruling body, comes after parliament passed legislation last week easing sanctions on soccer clubs whose bosses own shares in multiple teams.
Hoffenheim have a strong record against Koln, going unbeaten in their last five meetings. However, their shaky form doesn't inspire confidence. We can't see a dominant display by the home side incoming but rather a tight contest between two sides in similar form. Place your bet on a stalemate.
As was predicted by anyone who has seen a moment of Ligue 1 football in the last few years, PSG have once again emerged as the best team in France. They're seven points clear at the top and are seemingly strolling towards yet another title. They also returned from the winter break to score six goals on route to victory in the Coupe de France on Sunday afternoon.
England and Lyon defender Lucy Bronze has been named BBC Women's Footballer of the Year 2020. Bronze, 28, has claimed the award for the second time, after winning in 2018. Winning a trophy twice is special because it's so much harder," she said. Netherlands and Arsenal striker Vivianne Miedema came second and Reign FC's United States forward Megan Rapinoe third, as the award attracted the highest number of votes in its six-year history.
United's improvement is not just down to the fact their front three are playing well, but it definitely helps that they are finishing off so much of the good work done by the rest of their team. Chelsea are dangerous when they come forward too, of course. I just think United carry more of a threat, and they are more solid at the other end too. There have been a few all-London FA Cup finals before but if I am right with my predictions, and City and United both win and play each other on 1 August, then it would be a huge shame that their fans will not be able to come along for the first all-Manchester final.
It really was bad. Wilshere has been in England squads since the Iceland defeat but has not won another capWhen did you know you had to leave Arsenal?In 2018, after struggling with injuries, Wilshere left Arsenal following talks with new manager Unai Emery and joined West Ham. I sat down with my family and my wife. Arsene [Wenger] had announced he was leaving, and it felt like the right time to move on.

The former Schalke man has become known for his skills with the ball at his feet, frequently standing well out of his area and acting as a so-called sweeper-keeper. I remember when Pep Guardiola, after winning a championship, seriously considered the idea of putting him in midfield for a match," Rummenigge told the club magazine '51'.
