We are also looking into how we can support our casual workers. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, 37, was the first Premier League manager to test positive for coronavirus. The club's training grounds have now reopened with a small workforce to maintain the facilities and pitches. Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Olympiakos - the Greek side who played Arsenal in the Europa League in February - announced he had coronavirus on 10 March.
He was joined by his family, including his parents, Calum and Cathy, who had travelled from the Isle of Lewis to be with their son on his big day. But here he was looking at his house with the windows blown out, some of the roof missing, and water pouring in after a tornado tore through Nashville. Tornadoes kill 24 and flatten buildings"I woke up about 11:30pm and the weather had really taken a turn for the worse," explains Mackay, who had spent an evening at the hockey with his parents with his wife out of town.
Ian Holloway was appointed as new Grimsby Town manager this week, something of a coup for The Mariners. They then proceeded to win their first game in 12 attempts, putting themselves just a point behind their opponents this weekend with two games in hand. Whether that victory was a result of the new manager bounce that so many sides benefit from or if there is something a little more substantial for the new manager to build on remains to be seen.
Given SPAL’s poor scoring record on the road, we are backing another loss to nil for them here. Torino have picked up their scoring form and after hitting two goals in each of their home wins this season, we’re backing a 2-0 success for Il Toro.
These included the creation of a group of professional referees, financed by FIFA in partnership with CAF, and the creating of a $1 billion fund to invest in infrastructure, including stadiums, in all 54 African member associations.

Let's get started by recapping a few of the top stories on this subject. Manchester City have issued a statement criticising Kyle Walker following newspaper reports that the England star had a sex party during lockdown Wayne Rooney believes Premier League footballers have been made out to be "scapegoats" by UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock and the Premier League Wayne Rooney 'told off by police for breaking coronavirus lockdown rules by meeting friend Kyle Walker' Reminders from the papers that Aston Villa star Jack Grealish also had to issue an apology for ignoring his own social distancing advice First to recap Rooney's quotes over the weekend to provide balance from the negative reports on footballers in the tabloids.
He is expected to be sold by Borussia Dortmund in the summer. Video - Haaland available for just €20m… but that's BAD news for Man Utd – Euro Papers01:21 Haaland linked to United Erling Braut Haaland is linked with a move to Manchester United in the January transfer window.

Norwich bolstered their attacking options at the break by sending on Josip Drmic to partner Teemo Pukki, and Drmic came close to scoring when his shot deflected off David McGoldrick and bounced off the crossbar in the 75th minute. The visitors continued to throw everything forward in an effort to find an equaliser, but United keeper Dean Henderson pulled off a string of fine saves, prompting the home fans to chant for him to be made "England's number one".

Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping their blossoming friendship will play a part in the attempt to bring the pair to Old Trafford. Maddison, who commands a £90-million transfer fee, has been offered a contract extension at the King Power Stadium but United are planning to offer him wages worth £200,000 a week - which is double the Foxes' deal.
Wonder if he'll be getting a birthday card from both sides of Manchester this year? Tevez played for seven years in the Premier LeagueGheorghe Hagi, 55Former Barcelona, Real Madrid and Steaua Bucharest playmaker Gheorghe Hagi is widely regarded as Romania's greatest ever player. With 124 appearances for his country between 1983 and 2000, some might argue he deserves a national holiday in his honour.
Partick Thistle will host reigning champions Celtic in what is their most difficult game of the season so far. The Jags made it to the 4th round of this competition after beating Penicuik Athletic 1-0 back in November. The new year hasn't been too good for the Glasgow club either, as they've picked up a draw and a heavy 4-1 defeat to Dundee United.
Police say they are working with Manchester City to identify anyone involved in trouble during Wednesday's EFL Cup semi-final against Manchester United at Etihad Stadium. A 43-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a flare. United won the second leg 1-0, but City progress to the final 3-2 on aggregate. City are also looking at CCTV after fans were pictured making aeroplane gestures, in reference to the Munich air crash of 1958.
It is clear that we can't see two good games in row for any team in Bundesliga 1. Home side have 10 points more from visitors and this team chase Champions league place. They lost from Freiburg last round from Bayern 2-1 but they were solid in that game. So for me they are favorite in this game with very good odds. The only thing that scare me is H2H. Wolfsburg have much better result when they play against Borussia M. Still, it is bigger motive today on home side and finally little weaker opponent. I think that home win should be good bet here.
Barca have long seen themselves as purveyors of beautiful football rather than a club that only care about results and underlined that reputation by axing double league title winning Valverde, even though his side were top of the standings. For the Barca board and many fans, the silverware Valverde won did not compensate for sluggish displays of late which lacked intensity and tended to rely on big performances from goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen and talisman Lionel Messi.
However, a Spurs statement on Monday said the club have now "exhausted all avenues of investigation". Antonio RüdigerGetty Images "The police have notified us today that, having reviewed and investigated, they have closed the crime report as they can find no evidence to support the allegation of racial abuse," Spurs added.
Aleksander Cefarin said: "I don’t blame the players for what they say. I understand that the players are desperate because of the punishments and the incidents that are happening again and again. Of course you want say [to UEFA]: ‘Go to hell!’ I know. But I am not so naive to think that we’ve done all we can and now everything is finished.
Leeds United took another big step towards ending their 16-year wait for promotion to the Premier League by battling past bottom-of-the-table Barnsley in a tense Yorkshire derby. The Whites now need just one point in their final two matches, but could be promoted as soon as Friday if West Bromwich Albion fail to beat Huddersfield.
Not many Premier League players will need to be told to play their part in the fight against the financial effects of coronavirus. A lot of them are high earners who should definitely contribute, but I am sure the vast majority have always been willing to help, if they haven't already. The biggest question for them will be 'how?' Their options include taking a pay cut, deferring their wages or gifting their money - but they probably don't know which option will have the most impact in the way they want, whether that be looking after the staff at their own clubs, helping to fund the NHS or making donations to charities.
Tondela score an average of 0.57 goals per home game while Moreirense average 0.75 goals per away game and it is with this in mind that we have backed a goalless draw between the pair this Saturday. 29% of Tondela’s home games and 38% of Moreirense’s away games have ended in stalemates this season and the very same percentages can be attributed to the amount of Tondela’s home games and Moreirense’s away games that have featured over 2.5 goals.

Mauricio Pochettino says he is "ready" and "open to listen" to offers as he considers his return to management. The Argentine, 47, was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur in November after five years in charge, with the club in 14th in the Premier League. However, after leading Spurs to last season's Champions League final, Pochettino has been linked with high-profile jobs across Europe. You have to be ready if you believe it is the right moment," he said.
But it was the final goal at Wembley in 2011 that is most deserving of the adulation. A dominant display by Pep Guardiola's men had them 2-1 up - Pedro and Messi striking either side of a well-worked Wayne Rooney goal. Barcelona were in the driving seat, but an equaliser was not out of the question for Ferguson's side until Messi slalomed towards the United box and was upended by Michael Carrick. United dallied on the ball, allowing Sergio Busquets to claim it and feed Spain striker David Villa, who curled a delicious effort past the outstretched Edwin van der Sar.
We were allowed one phone call a week. I'd be talking to my wife and she'd be saying, "What are you getting up to? You are out drinking every night" and so on. It was so far from the truth. The biggest story written about us over there was that three of us had been held up against a fence at gunpoint with two security guards going to shoot us because we'd broken a curfew. I think it was myself, Derek Johnstone and wee Joe Harper.
Real will be without James Rodriguez for the game, but could welcome back Gareth Bale who has not played for the club since October, but was involved in both games as Wales qualified for Euro 2020 this week. Barcelona, who sit top of the table ahead of Real on goal difference, head to bottom side Leganes earlier on Saturday.
But when you bring on a goalie who is Tom Thumb and they lose nine goals. We should have done more damage'22 June, Frankfurt. Scotland 1-1 YugoslaviaVictory would take Scotland into the last eight. Even a draw would have been good enough if Brazil failed to beat Zaire by three clear goals. But they did, winning 3-0. The Scots fall a goal behind with fewer than 10 minutes left, with Jordan's late equaliser not enough.
Whether or not it was an intentional finish seemed to matter little as Oxford continued to force the game. Another timely last-ditch Stewart interception prevented Taylor from tapping into an empty net, while Rob Dickie had powerful headers from two successive set-pieces parried away by the Wycombe goalkeeper.
Last season, JEF United Ichihara finished in 17th place, only 3 points behind the relegation team. By this season, the goal that JEF United Ichihara has set is just to seek safety. Meanwhile, Omiya Ardija finished last season in 3rd place but they failed in the play-off series to find promotion tickets. Of course, Omiya Ardija still aims to return to the J-League after this season.
After he admitted the best team had lost a thrilling Cup tie at the Tottenham Stadium, Mourinho praised his players for their determination to get themselves out of a hole against a counter-attacking Southampton side who were always dangerous. Spurs, having led through a Jack Stephens own goal, found themselves behind after strikes by Shane Long and Danny Ings but Lucas Moura and Son Heung-min with a penalty snatched the win.

As a club we would love to finish the job that we started all those months ago and try to win promotion on the pitch. We spoke to a number of clubs this week just to try and gauge opinion. Our message to them, and to the fans remains the same: If a safe way can be found for football to return then we will be ready. AnalysisAndrew Moon - BBC Radio Solent's Portsmouth commentatorThe difference in size of clubs across League One is vast so it's no surprise there are differing views.

Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Japan 0-1 England Scott says there is "healthy competition" for places in midfield between herself and Nobbs, who can "run all day". Manchester City's Scott is a more natural box-to-box midfielder, while Nobbs showed against Japan that she thrives in a more attacking role - linking up with the forwards and moving the ball in tight spaces in and around the box.
