Billy Cann was a season-ticket holder at Newcastle United for 35 years before he decided he'd had enough. He had been watching his team since 1969 but when owner Mike Ashley sacked Chris Hughton in 2010 the 63-year-old decided not to renew and many fans have since followed. Their issues are numerous, but chief among them is an owner who they feel does not match their ambition. I don't want to give Mike Ashley any more of my cash," Cann tells BBC Sport en route to a goalless draw with bottom-of-the-table Norwich City for which he has borrowed a ticket.
With Liverpool eyeing a first league title since 1990, the Reds are expected to field a second-string side, as they did in the third-round win over Everton, which Edwards hopes will provide Shrewsbury with an opportunity. Whoever walks out there in a red shirt, Liverpool are still an institution. It's still a memorable occasion," he added. It's a chance to put some pressure on, get a draw at the very least and then take them back to Anfield.
The semi-final clash between Premier League leaders Liverpool and Mexico’s Monterrey, drew 45,000 fans to the Khalifa International stadium, with the crowd mostly made up of residents of the Gulf state and others from the Middle East who had made the short trip for the tournament. Al Thawadi accepts there is much progress that needs to be made in Arab football but says there is no question of needing to convince the region’s people of the appeal of the game.
The matchday experience at Birmingham isn't great, I don't like it," said White. I drag my parents, who are in their 80s, to Birmingham and we go because it's been a family tradition to go to football since 1968. But it's not the same as watching us in Coventry. St Andrew's is an away ground. It's not our home. There are not enough people there. White fears Coventry will miss out on a new generation of fans if the team is not back playing in the city soon.
They may prove insurmountable, but the concern for us is that if they prove insurmountable now then we may be in for a very, very extended period of not being able to play and that has huge ramifications for the game. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has previously predicted a loss of "at least £1bn" if the Premier League fails to complete the 2019-20 campaign. Parish believes that deciding the final league positions on the pitch, rather than relying on points per game or taking the current table as the final outcome, is preferable, even if conditions are far from ideal.
Bnei Sakhnin will host Hapoel Ramat Hasharon for this fixture of the league. Both teams are one of the ambitious teams in this season. Of course, both teams want to get a positive result. No doubt, the hosts will try to make a positive result on the home field. They will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. Nevertheless, this will not be an easy task. I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. It should be said, the visitors have four consecutive victories on the road. I think, they have the potential to fighting for the winning result in this match.
There are two full rounds of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers scheduled for the international window later this month, while the African Champions League and Confederation Cup club competitions are in the knockout stages. A number of nations, including Madagascar, have already banned the hosting of international sports events, putting them on a collision course with CAF and providing the potential that they may have to forfeit matches.
The Blues have faltered at the Bridge in recent weeks, losing to three sides near the relegation zone, and were struggling to break down a well-organised Burnley in the opening 25 minutes until Matt Lowton's reckless sliding tackle on Willian enabled Jorginho to open the scoring from the penalty spot. Visiting keeper Nick Pope then allowed Tammy Abraham's close-range header to evade his grasp and find the net to give the Blues a grip on the game before they had even got out of second gear.

The hosts of this clash play well at home in the regular season and they won against most of the opponents. Usually, they keep the clean sheet so in this clash there is a chance to see a clear victory of Krumkachy over Oshmyany. The hosts are the better team and with the home advantage, they should win even with more than one goal difference. The visitors play well at home but on away they struggle so hard and concede at least two goals in the last matches. I think that they will not keep a clean sheet for a long time. A clear win for the hosts
Slavia Mozyr is the favorite playing Rukh Brest away at their stadium. Slavia Mozyr just recently has beaten BATE Borisov 1-0 last Wednesday at home for the Belarusian Cup. In my opinion is quite strange that they seem to be underrated by the bookies at the odds 2.05 as their true odds should be 1.87. And on the other hand, Rukh Brest is overrated by the bookies 3.6 and lower. Fair odds for them would be 4.86. So we can see some value at Slavia Mozyr playing a overrated underdog at home. My bet is 1, Slavia Mozyr to win.
Holstein Kiel and Stuttgart will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. Holstein Kiel this season have the following results: 9W, 8D and 9L. Meanwhile Stuttgart have 13W, 6D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
My pick for match between Stuttgart vs Hamburger SV is over 2.5 goals. I think that this match will end 2:1. Both teams are doing well and are in good shape but for this match I see lots goals. In the last 5 direct matches was 4 times over 2.5 goals. Hamburger in away matches is not so strong, it has draw twice in recent matches. I think that this match will be very offensive. Both teams are playing for promotion to the Bundesliga, I think none of these teams will not give up this match. I am counting on a good game for the hosts who are showing their good this season.
Real Madrid is few days ago lost match in Cup of Spain, against Real Sociedad, 3-4, but they are played that match with reserve team, so that was not so big surprise. Of course, first wish for this team is title in Spain Primera and so far, team is playing very good - they are leaders. In Pamplona, in meantime, they are beat Osasuna more than easy 1-4 and of course, team is huge favorite and in this duel. I believe that they will not have any problems and Real Madrid will win this match 2-0, 3-1 or similar, I'm sure.
When we lose the ball, we immediately try to win it back. Trpisovsky, who wears a baseball cap during matches like his coaching idol Klopp, brushes off comparisons but says he tries to emulate the way the German succeeded at Dortmund with lesser-known players. The club's European emergence has also boosted the Czech national side, with a core of their players in the squad that beat England 2-1 on the way to qualification for Euro 2020.
Sports organisations and athletes have also launched fundraising campaigns for victims and relief efforts, with former Australian cricketer Shane Warne auctioning off his 'baggy green' cap that is awarded to players on test debut. Tennis players have pledged to donated money for every ace they serve while in Australia.
Definitely, it will boost Liverpool's popularity here in Japan," said Yumiko Tamaru, secretary for Japan's Official Liverpool Supporters Club. Real Madrid and Barcelona have been the most popular European football clubs here in Japan, but I think Liverpool will be as popular as these Spanish giants if Minamino flourishes in Liverpool. A lot of football fans have already started to contact us asking how they can get Liverpool's match tickets.
The EFA apologised to fans and say it will take disciplinary action against Zamalek. Zamalek won the bad-tempered final in Abu Dhabi 4-3 on penalties and club president Mortada Mansour was among those fined and banned for his part in the violence at the game. Mansour had said his players would not turn up for the Egyptian Premier League match at Cairo International Stadium, which the sides share, because of "fear and worry" over their welfare.
This game could potentially be put to bed quite early on as well. Liverpool have been winning at both half-time and full-time in 11 of their last 12 home Premier League games, and while Sheffield United have only lost one away game they have still been trailing at the break on three occasions. This makes a Liverpool/Liverpool HT/FT bet look favourable.
Swansea is a slight favorites in this duel at home ground against Derby County, but they will need to prove their quality on the pitch. Visitors had a lot of improvements lately, of course I need to mention Wayne Rooney, he bring a lot of stability in the squad, in last round, he scored a goal in a huge victory against Stoke, 4-0 was final result. Swansea is at 8th place at standings, they are still in a race for place in play off, but it seems that they don't own enough quality for it. I guess both coaches would be satisfied if this duel ends with a draw result.
