It was an attacking line-up and some of the players and entertainment on show was fantastic. To have it taken away so late in the game, Kevin Keegan looked in agony. Kevin was never going to change his style of play. He wanted to go out and entertain the Newcastle public. He would always look to outscore the opposition. In some games you just have to sit tight and be organised but that is not Kevin and probably in the end that is what cost Newcastle.

Mainz have also been in excellent form in front of goal in recent weeks. They have scored a total of 15 goals over the past six games. Only RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund have scored more goals than Mainz over the past six games. They will be tough to keep quiet this Saturday.
Video - 'The title race is over, it's done' - Guardiola00:59 09:10 - Sinclair apologises for Liverpool ‘bin dippers’ jibe Former Manchester City player Trevor Sinclair has apologised for his ‘bin dipper’ tweet aimed at Liverpool. City closed the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to eight points on Tuesday with a 4-1 win at Burnley.
For the first time in his 17-year professional career, England international goalkeeper Joe Hart has no club. Released by Burnley this summer, Hart is convinced he will find his perfect footballing match - and that he still has lots to offer. Hart, 33, spoke exclusively to BBC Sport about his past, his future career and the importance of talking about mental health. It is just over four years since Hart played for Manchester City in their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.
Sterling understood perfectly the inference behind the question and responded by saying he wanted to be the best player he could at City - but the smile that followed revealed the unbridled truth. The biggest club in the world doesn't come in for you when a club is ready to sell you. They come in for you when that club is desperate to keep you. Regular readers of TOTW will know what I think of Sterling.
They need to come up with a better way of approaching games against lowly sides, because everyone knows the recipe for success against this United. MAN OF THE MATCH Ismaila Sarr (Watford). He scored the first goal, albeit fortuitously, and made the second. He’s a livewire, was the match-winner today and Watford’s best hope of staying up likely revolves around him getting more and more minutes.

The form of the two clubs also adds weight to our prediction for an away win, as Southend have lost five of their last six matches while Oxford have won five of their last six. The visitors are unbeaten in their last seven matches in all competitions and have only lost three times on the road this season, while Southend have lost eight of their nine home games in League One.
It's interesting that Alaves have been level at the break in five of their seven home matches this season and in half of their 14 overall, with the same applying to three of Madrid's six on the road and six of their 13 fixtures in total.
Please be mindful of this when interacting with UCFB guests, partners and fellow industry professionals. Woodward admits to overruling Mourinho on signings Controversial Manchester United executive Ed Woodward, whom many fans have blamed for the club's demise in recent years, has admitted that he overruled former manager Jose Mourinho in the transfer market.
Crawley town is in extremely poor shape for a very long time, they are winless for 9 games in a row and I don't see the way they Will break that today because on the other side,Northampton is much better team than them, also in good shape and also which is very important, visitors are very good team on the road one of the best in whole league so I think it is realistic that visitors Will score first and since Crawley confidence is on very low level, I think they are not going to be able to recover from that so they Will lose once again
Odds are quite decent given the fact that both teams will go for the win here and I see an open game of football in which the guests are slight favorites to be winning and progressing forward and I say this because both are in the second league and in the first part of the season there they met here at Lustenau and the guests had the lead 3-0 in that one only for the hosts to crawl back two goals as they ended up losing that encounter with 3-2 in the end but really neither side looked all that solid in defense.
You play on the 26th, a high-intensity game against Liverpool, fighting for the result. In football, it's the second day where the players suffer. You get that first day of recovery but it's the second day where it's really tough for a player. If we go along that route then the second day, instead of recovering, we're kicking off at 5.
Sporting events in the Netherlands will have to take place without fans until there is a coronavirus vaccine, Dutch Health Minister Hugo de Jonge says. Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Wednesday that organised sport could resume from 1 September. But De Jonge said mass gatherings would be barred until a vaccine is developed. We cannot yet mention a date for the last step, the mass gatherings," he wrote in a letter to the Dutch parliament.
I can't explain things properly all the time, they have to understand it without me telling them. Thank God we have that. I don't expect perfection on the pitch, but I expect the desire. I don't make decisions out of the blue. There are always reasons. Against Everton, Klopp, whose side lead second-placed Leicester City by eight points, made five changes to the side that beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 last Saturday.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on Schalke will payout on Wednesday night and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Schalke have an excellent record against their hosts over the last couple of years, head into the game as the slight form favourites and sit 5pts clear of Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga table. The visitors have even picked up more points on the road than the hosts have managed in their own backyard this season, which is why we are confident Schalke will come away with at least a point to show for their efforts.
I'm pretty sure that this duel from Argentina Cup will bring at least three goals, and maybe even more than that. So, it is the fact that here in Argentina, teams are mostly playing very defensive, but in this case, I don't believe it will be the case. Home team, or Union Santa Fe is lost in last round against Velez Sarsfield 0-3, while in last match against this rival, Arsenal Sarandi, they are last time played 4-1. Guests are very offensive in last few weeks, so it is pretty clear that this duel will be similar and efficient, also.
There is no reason, away team to be name as equal to the rival, since Walter won previous part of the competition, and also is in good run with two recent victories. They should be favorites, since manage to beat Real Madriz along Esteli in the previous games. Also, Walter won almost all games in history with this rival, and Ocotal manage to snatch only few matches without losing in the previous years.
We wanted a world-class manager and we've got one," said Ferguson, who was in temporary charge for four matches. I've had a word with the boss and he looks happy with me. Ferguson revealed 60-year-old Italian Ancelotti, a three-time Champions League-winning coach, came into the Everton dressing room to introduce himself to the players.
Direct duel for the leader place and the promotion in the 3. Bundesleague for the next season. Young team of Wolfsburg is at the top, but if there is some rival that could beat them, it is second placed Lubeck. Since Weich - 08 Flansburg is a lot of points behind those two, this is maybe the most important game for both in the season.
Many of De Jong's attributes are also evident in Valverde, who is set to make his first Clasico start after breathing new life into Real Madrid's midfield this season. Valverde came through the youth ranks at Uruguayan giants Penarol in his hometown of Montevideo, before being snapped up by Real in the summer of 2016. Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane started to put faith in Valverde towards the end of 2018-19 and picked him in five of the final eight games, but in the past couple of months he has taken a giant step forward to leap ahead of 34 year-old Luka Modric in the pecking order.

Should the Premier League decide to bring a charge against City, it can ask Uefa for permission to look at the evidence the European body has used. Uefa imposed its penalty after City were found to have broken the rules by "overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to Uefa between 2012 and 2016".
Neville remains here to stay' is the party line and the former Manchester United defender has always enjoyed a close relationship with director of women's football Baroness Sue Campbell. He held discussions over the phone with senior FA officials last week, reviewing performances at the SheBelieves Cup, but the question over whether Neville will open talks about extending his contract remains. Neville, currently tied down until June next year, would need to commit until at least 2022 if Euro 2021 is postponed by a year as anticipated, but in reality would be expected to commit until the 2023 World Cup.
For this match we're targeting the 'Both Teams To Score' market but we're backing the opposite to happen in this match. Monaco have been famous for extremely exciting matches this season with the BTTS market a regular for Leonardo Jardim's side but it has been a different story away from home. Both teams have scored in just two of Monaco's last six away games and just one of Bordeaux's last five at the Matmut Atlantique.
Did you know? Mina had taken 24 shots without scoring in the Premier League this season before putting away consecutive chances against Watford. Nathan Ake: When Nathan Ake plays for Bournemouth things usually happen. The Dutch defender has been an excellent purchase for Bournemouth and they need him now more than ever. Ake is a defender who is not afraid to put his body on the line for his team, or afraid to get among the goals if he has to, which is just as well because Bournemouth needed this result.
Liverpool have been winning the title for as long as I can remember. It might be a different trophy but it's certainly the same title. Who would dare regard Kenny Dalglish or Ian Rush as lesser mortals than Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane, for example? There is no distinction between the winners of the old First Division title and the Premier League title as far as I am concerned. Neither would I consider the latter somehow better than the former - just a different name.
Two of the Championship’s top six meet this weekend, as Nottingham Forest head to Bristol City. We expect an entertaining game here, as two sides who try to get forward clash with their promotion hopes on the line. These two are drifting away from the top two and they’re in danger of slipping out of the playoff spots, so a result here is crucial.
Young could be an interesting signing. The 34-year-old is a top professional and could be a useful outlet for Conte at wing-back on either side of the pitch. Read the full story North London rivals battle to sign defender Bitter Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are set to battle over the signature of Getafe centre-back Djene Dakonam.

Union Berlin, playing their first Bundesliga season, hail from East Berlin prior to German reunification and their fans are known for their left-wing politics and supporter-led ethos. Union's last match, a 2-1 away win at Eintracht Frankfurt, was also subject to protests, albeit from the home fans, who boycotted over the scheduling of the match on a Monday night.

Lille OSC v Stade Brestois 89 predictions for this Ligue 1 match. Both teams got massive wins on Tuesday but who will cope better with the quick turnaround here at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy? Read on for our free Ligue 1 predictions and betting tips.
At the bottom of the table, it was a memorable weekend for Bristol City, as they got their first victory of the season with a 1-0 win away at Manchester United, while Liverpool's wait for that elusive first win continues after another slender 1-0 defeat to Brighton. With West Ham's match with Everton being called off due to illness in the Hammers' camp, there were only five matches this weekend but there were still plenty of standout performances to choose from.
Atalanta have however kept just one clean sheet in their last seven matches. Having come from a Group C that had the experienced Dinamo Zagreb and Shakhtar Donetsk, the Italians should feel ready for this job, even though they managed just two wins in the six group matches. That Atalanta have managed just three clean sheets in the last 10 matches, is well covered by the fact that they do score a plenty.
Athletic, who won the first leg 1-0 in Bilbao last month, seemed headed for a surprise exit after Granada forward Carlos Fernandez struck in the 48th minute and a header from defender German Sanchez doubled their advantage in the 76th. But Athletic grabbed a crucial away goal through Yuri Berchiche in the 81st minute to level the tie at 2-2 on aggregate, setting up set up an all-Basque showpiece against Real Sociedad on April 18 in Seville.
When Morgan Gibbs-White was called a "monkey" during the Under-17 World Cup final three years ago, it was the second time he had been racially abused. The first had been during an English Schools national cup quarter-final. I think I was about 15," the Wolves forward tells BBC Sport. We were winning 4-0 or 5-0 and there was a heated situation. One of their players started being racist to me. He eventually got kicked out of the sport.
RB Leipzig need to start winning matches again. Not just to keep their title challenge alive but to ensure they finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League. They have just been drawing too many games but this is a good chance to earn three points. Mainz probably still have nightmares over that 8-0 loss against Leipzig earlier in the season. They are in relegation trouble and struggling for goals, especially at home. Go for an away victory here.
Middlesbrough have claimed all of their wins against the league’s lesser lights, with each of those victories coming in 1-0 home wins. They’ve kept a clean sheet in nearly half of their home games, while Stoke have failed to score in 40% of their trips. With Boro winning back to back games here 1-0, we’re backing a repeat on Friday night.
Krasnodar have only kept clean sheets in 38% of their home games this season while Basel have also only kept clean sheets in that same percentage of their away games. Both teams scored in 50% of Basel’s away games this season while 62% of Krasnodar’s home games have seen goals scored at both ends of the pitch, adding weight to our prediction for a 1-1 draw. The hosts are unbeaten at home domestically but did lose against Getafe in the Europa League, which is why we have backed a double chance bet in favour of Basel on Thursday. Three of Krasnodar’s last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals and the hosts have drawn three of their last five competitive matches. Basel have picked up four wins and two draws from their eight away games this season and are yet to lose on the road in Group C.
A match where home team will be satisfied just with three points as they sit rock bottom of the table with only 10 points. Anyway, their place is not there because they have a better squad than this position in the table.
Both teams have scored in three of the last five meetings between Moreirense and Porto and the same can be said about four of Moreirense’s last six matches in league and cup as well as in four of Porto’s last six outings, so you can see why we have backed both teams to score this Friday.

A majority of PSV Jong’s defeats this season (7) have had a 1-goal margin while 3 of Ajax Jong’s wins have had a 1-goal margin, and we are backing the visitors to claim a fourth win via the odd goal on Monday night but wouldn’t be shocked if they won by a greater margin as ten of their wins have been by 2 goals or more. With this being a derby match of sorts, we are expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes as the last three encounters between the pair have proved and that is why we have backed a narrower winning margin for Ajax Jong this Monday.
