Daragh Curley, 10, from County Donegal, wrote to the manager for a school assignment asking if it was possible for Liverpool to start losing some games so that they would not win the league. The Warm-Up: United draw, Ole blames the ball for some reason Worried FA contact United over Rashford fears - Paper Round Much to the shock of Daragh and his family, the manager sent a letter back praising him for his passion for Man United but telling him that it is his job to ensure the Reds keep on winning.

Each country has its own problems and has to deal with them individually. Although some leagues can end right away, others can start sooner. I know almost every country in the world has the Premier League as one of the leagues to watch so it is major that we can finish the season.
Are they trying to make things so big that all the little incidents that happen every weekend in Italy just look normal? I don't understand what they expect, what kind of reaction do you expect with this kind of act? I just don't get it, I don't see the point. At a news conference on Monday, artist Simone Fugazzotto, who always uses monkeys in his work, said: "For an artist there is nothing more important than trying to change the perception of things through his own work.

I said don't focus on the club or the players just on what we could do better and what could we do better in the future. You win or you learn, you don't lose.

I think this will be tight, and West Ham will be happy to keep it that way. Moyes is not going to play open, expansive football because he doesn't know some of his players yet, and they have not been playing well - you have got to understand that his priority will be to make it difficult for teams to play against them.

When Sheringham flicked the ball on, Stam at the far post thought he was about to score the winner. Instead Solskjaer instinctively stabbed the ball into the net from a few yards. It was a tap-in in name, but not in nature; this was an unusual and deceptively brilliant finish, because the only place he could score was the roof of the net.
The country is on the cusp of the NHS’ greatest challenge, and football clubs are arguing the toss about whether their league win is official or not.

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.

It was a sort of homecoming for a man who had stood on the Kop watching Bill Shankly's Liverpool during his days as a French teacher at the city's Alsop Comprehensive School 30 years earlier. There were some inside the club who questioned how it would work even on the day he arrived. The answer was simple: it didn't. The arranged marriage did not last. Evans left in November. Houllier's pursuit of perfection was all-consuming - so much so that he almost paid with his life.
The Bayern match will be one when I am going to rest some players. Tottenham, then-managed by Mauricio Pochettino, were embarrassed in the home match against Bayern in October, losing 7-2 in London, before the Argentine was sacked last month. Mourinho, a Champions League winner with Porto in 2003-04 and with Inter Milan in 2009-10, was in charge for Spurs' match against Olympiakos and, despite falling 2-0 behind, a 4-2 victory secured their place in the knockout phase.

It has been the same story in almost every window throughout the Moshiri era -- with a series of signings failing to live up to expectations. Davy Klaassen, Cenk Tosun, Nikola Vlasic and Sandro Ramirez are just some of the players who were supposed to lift Everton towards the top six but who never came close to the standard required.
Reims may have only stepped back in Ligue 1 football last year but they have quickly asserted themselves as a quality side and should be able to get something out of this game. However, Metz have generally played much better at home with a win and two draws in their last three games therefore we're backing them to get a point here. Metz showed much more fight in their two games before the international break with draws against Lille and Montpellier so we're predicting this one to finish 1-1. Reims have five goals in their last six away games and should be able to put one past this Metz side with just the one clean sheet in their last six games.

The first leg of Belarusian first league and we will see a match between Arsenal and Oshmyany. For Arsenal it will be the first match in this league in history and after not bad friendlies matches they look like favorite here to beat Oshmyany. Of course they will not fight here for top places but I think that they will be able to stay in this league for the next season. The visitors play only in the cup matches but still they are a weak team. They got weaker players than Arsenal and I think that we will see the difference. I pick asian for Arsenal

Norwich created plenty of chances and won a slew of corners, but all too often they struggled to get many of them on target. When they did, Dubravka was equal to the task. Finnish forward Teemo Pukki, Norwich's top scorer in the Premier League with 11 goals this season, had a great chance to put his side ahead in the 73rd minute, but again Dubravka was quickest to react and Ciaran Clarke was able to clear the danger.
But some are worried about fans gathering outside Anfield, and Masters said crowds of supporters is "a concern". Masters said the Premier League wants "to play out the season as much as possible at home and away venues". We're talking to the authorities about that," he added.

The good news for Wolves is the 24-year-old looks in great condition for the crucial run-in'We could not handle Traore' - what they saidWest Ham boss David Moyes: "We expected Adama Traore to start, or to come on, but we didn't defend the crosses well enough when they came in, so that was probably the most disappointing thing. We were short in attacking players, short of options, we didn't get anything going.

That is really outrageous. Valloni said it was premature to consider salary cuts and that clubs should look for more wide-ranging solutions. I think it was a bad sign, a wrong sign, and not a sign for solidarity," he said. Even before Sion did that, we were looking to find a solution for everybody and players were ready to help the clubs but salary reduction is premature.

But, like the team itself, Atalanta's fans are now using their collective strength to help Bergamo find a way through the crisis. How did Atalanta get there?While Bergamo lies in the shadow of the Alps, Atalanta have spent much of their existence in the shadows of AC and Inter Milan. La Dea, as they are also known, have only won one major trophy and their best Serie A finish was sixth - until Gian Piero Gasperini took charge in 2016.
Pulisic had provided the best chance of the half - controlling Antonio Rudiger's cross, turning sharply and firing it towards the roof of the net, forcing a save from Krul - before he eventually set-up Giroud's header with a swinging cross from the right. The goal should have been a catalyst for Chelsea to release the shackles but the fluidity never really materialised, despite them still being able to create further chances.
