It's been a mad process. After the application phase, you get invited to a fitness testing day, but it's very different to the usual football testing that I'd done. We were assembling things, climbing up ladders, going into containers with breathing apparatus on and your kit, trying to find your way out in the dark through a tunnel. That was all amazing. Then you went through to another assessment day, working in a group, giving information about yourself, and then the final interview.
The hosts were comfortable 4-0 winners against Livingston at the weekend, while they are hopeful of continuing a European winning streak. The hosts have won their last three group games.

Rescue package for EFL clubsParry said he "completely agreed" that a rescue package would now be needed to help support EFL clubs. The Premier League has said if they're allowed to play then they will be in a position to talk to us about support for the lower leagues," he added. We await that day - discussions to date, I think it's fair to say have been limited. Revenue redistribution & the futureParry also said they could not just rely on going from "one bailout to another bailout", suggesting a "complete reset" was now needed in terms of the redistribution of revenue within the game.

Wolves boosted their chances of claiming a place in next season's Champions League with a comprehensive home victory over Everton. Wanderers bounced back from consecutive defeats with a victory through goals either side of half-time and a game-sealing third from Diogo Jota with 15 minutes to go. Raul Jimenez scored the first from the penalty spot in first-half injury time following a clumsy Lucas Digne foul on Daniel Podence.
Olympiacos may come into this final Group B match on the bottom of the pile but they've got an excellent chance to propel themselves into the Europa League. Punters are advised to side with 'Olympiacos to Win & Over 1.5 Goals'. Crvena's defensive weakness is there for all to see. Combine this with the fact that Olympiacos have been much more effective offensively, scoring at least twice in each of their two home games, and a bet on the hosts notching multiple goals on route to victory is hard to go against.
The 34-year-old, who joined Juventus from Real Madrid in 2018, sat out as the team eased past Udinese en route to the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on Wednesday, and his manager says he is determined to help him to match his great rival and win a sixth world crown.

He was a machine. Best manager played under"I played under some of the best managers - not just in recent times but in history. If I have to pick one or two: Pep Guardiola played the game in the style I love at Barcelona, same with Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, but under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea I had a really special year. He is probably the one I had the best connection with. The way he played with my mind was unbelievable.
He had quick feet and was great travelling with the ball. Wright: "Toto Schillaci got the goals in 1990 but at that tournament, along with Paul Gascoigne, Baggio was outstanding. He dealt with the pressure of playing in his own country and being their creative player. Marco van Basten Van Basten was the top scorer at Euro 1988 with five goals, including this volley as the Netherlands beat the USSR in the finalBallon d'Or (1988, 1989, 1992), European Championship, European Cup (2), Cup Winners' Cup, Eredivisie (3), Serie A (3)The Dutch striker joined AC Milan from Ajax in 1987 and won the Ballon d'Or three times in the next five years.

Ben Mee has given away five penalties in the Premier League in his career, at least three more than any other Burnley player. Chris Wood has netted 11 league goals this season, his best-ever top-flight campaign. Wood is the third Burnley player to net more than 10 times in a Premier League campaign after Ashley Barnes last season (12) and Danny Ings in 2014-15 (11). Mourinho has only faced Swansea City as many times in the Premier League without losing as he has Burnley (nine each).
England's Jade Moore says testing herself in Florida's humid weather and playing with Brazil legend Marta were among the pull factors behind her move to Orlando Pride. Six-time Fifa World Player of the Year Marta and USA striker Alex Morgan are among Orlando's stars. Moore, 29, left Reading on 1 April after 15 years in England's leagues. I feel like I've been in the WSL so long now it's not scratching that itch for me any more," Moore told BBC Sport.

German Bundesliga is back: What do you need to know?Test your knowledge of German footballHerrlich, 48, was appointed on 10 March and the home match with Wolfsburg was set to be his first in charge.

Paper Round’s view: Spurs have underfunded their squad for the past couple of seasons which has led them to trail the top four positions so far this season. An injury to Harry Kane threatens to hamper their campaign under Mourinho so giving him a midfielder with technical qualities and the energy of youth might go some way to mitigating any problems.
Bayern Munich are unbeaten in 11 Bundesliga games, winning ten of those matches. Bayern Munich won the reverse fixture 2-1 when these teams met in October 2019.

Davies was substituted in the 75th minute of the 3-2 win at West Ham United last weekend and the Wales defender left the London Stadium on crutches with his foot in a protective boot. The 26-year-old missed out on Tuesday's 4-2 Champions League home win over Olympiakos Piraeus which took Spurs into the last 16 of Europe's elite club competition.
Both of these victories came at St Mary’s Stadium, and while their away record doesn’t look as good there are still some positives. They have only lost three of their seven Premier League away days this season, and that includes recent clashes with Spurs, Wolves, Manchester City and Arsenal.

Real Esteli will against Deportivo Las Sabanas in match Nicaragua Premier Division. My prediction this match could be the win for Real Esteli with margin score 2 or 3 goals. Real Esteli have great result on last 5 match due to Real Esteli have won in 4 match and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Deportivo Las Sabanas have not good record on last 5 match in league due to Deportivo Las Sabanas only have draw in 2 match and 3 match is lose. Therefore, I think that Real Esteli can beat Deportivo Las Sabanas due to Real Esteli more strong and always won on last 3 match in home match.

Mandzukic failed to make a single appearance in all competitions during his time at the Italian club this season, so why on earth would Giroud think he would get a sniff in Turin? There's no need for Sarri to replace a player who hasn't played a minute and wasn't even registered for the Champions League squad and Giroud would be in an even worse position than he is now at Stamford Bridge.

I don't have words. Disaster. It is a disaster to lose everything in the last game at home, of course. But to believe all the season about the play-offs and to lose and put away the play-offs like that, it's just our fault. I don't have more words. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry to the fans, sorry for the last few games. One point was enough tonight, it was enough a few days ago and was enough last week and we were so close, but it was a disaster.

My dad is from London and supports Tottenham, while my mum was not a huge football fan - but they got me a Leeds kit, so I was kind of into Leeds for a bit. But I was never able to get to a game so there was no way of watching them live because they were not on terrestrial TV either while Manchester United were, because they were in the Champions League. There was a boy who lived on my street, whose family were from Manchester and he was a United fan and he sort of inspired me to be one too.
The racist abuse directed at Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha is "cowardly and despicable", says Eagles manager Roy Hodgson. Zaha revealed he had received several abusive messages on social media before Sunday's trip to Aston Villa. The Premier League called the abuse of the 27-year-old Ivory Coast winger "completely unacceptable". He will pay for these actions because there is no excuse," Hodgson said of the person who sent the messages.
