Gareth McAuley says Ian Baraclough and Stephen Robinson "tick a lot of boxes" as possible successors to Michael O'Neil as Northern Ireland manager. Former NI defender McAuley, who retired last September after winning 80 caps, worked with both men in the international set-up. I like how they work, their enthusiasm on the training pitch and how they get their message across," said McAuley. They are the two that spring to mind but they may not be for everyone.

Saracens may already know that they will be relegated at the end of the season but they are still playing well. They have scored over 100 points in their last two home league games with three straight wins. Sale are third in the table but inconsistent on their travels. They won at Exeter but have lost three games to sides below them in the league. Go for a home win here.
Wigan have won just once in their last 32 away games at this level, while their 2-1 loss at Luton in their last trip has left them with eight losses from 11 away matches so far. Unlike last season, their home record isn’t propping them up. They come here with 12 losses in 22 games.
Petr Cech, John Terry, Michael Ballack, Michael Essien and Branislav Ivanovic - there were so many strong personalities and that was my first experience of being your best every day. You have to be concentrated and focused as a coach and deal with these type of professionals and athletes. That continued through the clubs. I remember how strong Zlatan was with his team-mates [at Paris St-Germain]. I have never seen anyone demand so much from his team-mates.
In many cases, those gains are cash (or capital appreciation), in some they take the form of political clout or soft power, and in a few others, it’s ego. With a few exceptions, like FC United of Manchester, most match-going supporters accepted the change, at least in England. For ESPN, Gab Marcotti discusses the theory of playing games behind closed doors to complete the Premier League season.
Odegaard has enjoyed an exceptional season out on loan at Real Sociedad and this performance was just another demonstration of what the Norwegian can offer, scoring the opening goal even if Areola should have done better with it. This performance has only added to the argument that Odegaard should be recalled from his two-year loan for the start of next season.

Yes, it looks like Joel and Fabinho (will be back). They trained completely normally yesterday and the day before. So that means they are likely to be in the squad," Klopp told a news conference. The other three not, but they're getting closer. Dejan will train 100% from Monday. The other two, I don't know exactly.
However, we may not be able to finish the season as football is not our priority - human life is - and we will do as the government directs as the pandemic unfolds. Further down the football pyramid, our leagues have requested that the season is curtailed and that decision rests with the FA Council. The pandemic will be followed by its economic consequences and all business sectors will suffer. We face the danger of losing clubs and leagues as finances collapse.
The very concept of a 'banter era' between big clubs was born in the 2010s as formerly impregnable giants could lurch from highs to lows. In the post-2010 period even games between the traditional giants began to open up, sometimes to a ludicrous extent. Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal in August 2011, United 1-6 Manchester City a few weeks later, Chelsea 3-5 Arsenal just six days after that. There were more big games with over seven goals in the space of a week in October 2011 than there had been in 2005, 2006 and 2007 combined.
Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester showed real authority and personality - Rodgers I expect Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers will be focused on securing a top-four place and Champions League football rather than the FA Cup and, if he does put out a weakened side, this tie is going to be very tough for them. Brentford have got a goalscorer in Ollie Watkins, and some good players. They are quite creative - they play a 4-3-3 and the front three are all decent, so they are a dangerous side.
MANCHESTER, England, Feb 26 (Reuters) - FIFA is to launch a major "once and for all" review of the international match calendar, which governs the dates of major competitions and tournaments, world soccer's governing body said on Wednesday. There have been a number of complaints from coaches, such as Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp, about the scheduling of games and concerns about the increasing number of commitments.
Stoke have won four of their last six Championship matches. Wayne Rooney has scored six goals and created three assists in 11 matches against Stoke. Derby have the third-best home record in the Championship this season. Two teams on good runs of form meet in the Championship this Friday when Derby County host Stoke City.
As for Brentford, the hosts have seen their record at Griffin Park slip. They were among the strongest home sides last season, but this time around the Bees are 14th in the home table this term. That poor return looks even worse when you consider their opposition. They’ve failed to win over half of their home games, without really being tested.

Roy Keane was so angry with Maguire's game during his half-time analysis he could hardly speak. What Keane didn't factor into the equation was Maguire's lack of match fitness because of lockdown. Against Norwich the England international, who scored the winner by the way, was better and against Brighton he helped United secure a semi-final spot. I hope Roy's calmed down now. Did you know? Maguire completed the most passes (85) of any player in Manchester United's victory against Brighton.

I want someone with charisma. A good communicator and a motivator, who can bring the right balance to their style of play. Above all, though, Arsenal need a winner. Someone with a long-term vision for the club, and the ability to see that vision through. Ljungberg is interim manager but Patrick Vieira, Nuno Espirito Santo and Carlo Ancelotti are among the candidates being linked to the permanent Arsenal jobSo it is a bit concerning that there does not appear to be a clear plan in the type of manager that the board wants - you only have to look at the very different profiles of all the names being mentioned to see that.
The trouble flared in Monday's match when Lapadula converted an 83rd-minute penalty to cut Cagliari's lead to 2-1 and then rushed to grab the ball out of the net. Sweden international Olsen got there first and hoofed the ball away, prompting an angry remonstration from Lapadula. Olsen then shoved Lapadula with his shoulder, Lapadula appeared to headbutt Olsen on the chin and then Olsen pushed Lapadula to the ground before also falling over, clutching his face.
In addition to a loss in income, Premier League clubs still owe £1. Kieran Maguire. Most agree that where the power used to lie with the selling club, now it will suit the buyer. I'd be amazed to see the transfer market continue as it was," says Huddersfield's head of football operations David Webb. Even the superpower clubs will think 'we don't have to go out and pay this fee any more'. I think it will lead to a big change in recruitment.

Yes I'd understand it in the circumstances," Solskjaer told reporters ahead of Thursday's Europa League last 16 first leg at Austria's LASK, which is being played without fans. Of course it's up to the experts to decide and the main concern must be the health of the general public. And the decision that will be made we will back.

The last six years have been the most successful period of my professional career, and I would like to thank everyone who has played their part in making this possible," Gordon added.
