Ex-Sheffield Wednesday boss Bruce said he understood the fans' frustrations after he was appointed as successor to Rafael Benitez in July. But, after taking 13 points from a possible 18 since the start of November, Newcastle's tally of 22 points from their opening 16 games leaves them nine points better off than they were at the same stage under Benitez last season. The Magpies never bettered their current run of seven league games unbeaten at St James' Park under fan favourite Benitez either.

They're as good as there's been around," Moyes said. It's very difficult when you've been manager of Everton and Manchester United to say that but Liverpool are an excellent side. West Ham sign Soucek from Slavia PragueMoyes' miserable run continuesFor just over 30 minutes at least, West Ham gave manager Moyes hope that he could improve on his miserable record against Liverpool. While his side fulfilled its first brief, to largely stifle their seemingly unstoppable opponents by remaining compact and deep, they offered little beyond that and looked vulnerable whenever they attacked.

The club say there will be "serious financial consequences" should they be relegated into the Championship. Ironically, these statements, along with an expansive note from joint owner David Sullivan, were written in October, when the club was pushing for a place in the top four. Financial rules mean they cannot be changed despite West Ham's sharp downturn in fortunes. The club's turnover rose 8. Wages rose almost 28% to £135.
Hearing the sold-out crowd sing their pre-match anthem Just idag ar jag stark (Today I'm strong) is a goosebumps-raising experience for anyone lucky enough to witness it. What's in it for Ibrahimovic? A statue of Ibrahimovic was unveiled outside Malmo's stadium in OctoberAs for what Hammarby gain from their new backer, direct financial input is likely to be limited but you only needed to look at the club's homepage to see the instant international exposure he brings, a rare English language post on Wednesday explaining the deal.
Benfica were knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday night but top the Primeira League by four points. They host Famalicao who are third in the table but struggling for form at present. The league leaders beat Zenit St Petersburg 3-0 at home on Tuesday but that was only good enough to finish third and be transferred to the Europa League.
Time and again the visitors were able to find space, particularly in the channels between each full-back and centre-back, and should have exploited that to a far greater extent than they managed. Only a combination of poor finishing and an excellent display by the two Spurs centre-backs (particularly the impressive Davinson Sanchez) kept the tie alive on a night that still saw the hosts take a lead and an away goal back to Germany.
With supporters unable to attend the behind-closed-doors fixture, the historic occasion will involve a unique presentation designed to acknowledge and celebrate Liverpool fans," the club said.

Uefa's executive committee will make its decision on 17 June. Meetings over the past few weeks have debated various scenarios, including completing the tournament in two-legged ties as originally planned.

It's unfortunate for him with the cancellation of the matches but he leaves a legacy and is revered in Ireland. There have also been contributions over the last few years from Robbie Keane, Terry Connor and all of the staff. Kenny has brought former Republic internationals Damien Duff, Keith Andrews and Alan Kelly on to his coaching staff, with Jim Crawford succeeding him as Under-21 manager. Kenny's first match in charge will be the Republic's European Championships play-off semi-final against Slovakia.
If you have no good defenders who can play, then you cannot attack. Leon Osman: Kevin de Brune (2)I had this debate last season - does the standout player deserve this award, or is it one of the team that wins the title? Last season, City won the domestic treble but Van Dijk was the winner, voted before Liverpool lifted the Champions League trophy. Following that thinking, I am going with De Bruyne this time.
RB Leipzig will try to ensure Bayern Munich's stay as Bundesliga leaders is short-lived when they travel to the Allianz Arena on Sunday. Champions Bayern went top last Saturday after beating Mainz, while Leipzig and fellow title rivals Borussia Monchengladbach drew. Kingsley Coman is expected to return from injury for Bayern, who have won their past six league games. Second-placed Leipzig are winless in three and trail the leaders by a point.
Consistency and confidence have characterised the 34-year-old’s career to date. There is a commanding presence about the German, something which Kepa has often been accused of lacking, so would trading him for these qualities go some way to solving Chelsea’s defensive frailties?” However, any potential arrival of Neuer would not necessarily spell the end of Kepa.

Before the enforced break, everyone thought that Augsburg would be relegated at the end of the season. But thanks to their good form as Augsburg moved one step closer to securing the Bundesliga survival by winning against Mainz on the road.
This is a game from Belgium 1st division. As Eupen will be playing cercle Brugge in this game today. We expect less from this game as it features 2 teams of equal strength and resources, having played 5 head to head matches, Eupen has won 4 of the 5 games, which makes it dominate on their games. Visitors are down the league table with 12 points below hosts. Visitors has never won a game at the road, only a draw on their last 5 games on road, so I can't see them changing the way they are playing with this game today
Both rivals were fighting for the title in the first part of the season, along with The Strongest. Bolivar was better for the difference, but now they are far from the leader position and should work hard in the next games to regain top part.
Andries and Freddie arrived with a mission to stabilise the struggling team in the worst part of Wolfsburg's history and prevent the disaster of relegation," said Hartmann. The club had many problems. There were insecurities everywhere. Freddie's task was to talk to the players and give them back their confidence. He always acted in the background, but when he spoke everyone listened. The players listened carefully when he talked, because they had looked up to him when they were younger.
Southampton remain in the relegation zone in 18th spot with 15 points, while Newcastle go 10th in the table on 22 points, with goal-scorer Fernandez indicating that they were not done climbing yet.

When you don't do things well it means there's room for improvement. While the rested Lionel Messi will return for the trip to the Costa Blanca, Setien will be without the injured trio of Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele and backup goalkeeper Neto.

Which isn’t too confusing. However, should the motion pass, there will then be further voting to decide the outcomes of the seasons. Since non-league football is generally more prone to postponements than the professional game, the number of games left varies wildly: Stockport have seven National League games to play, while Gloucester City, in the National League North, have 12.
Leipzig have kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 competitive games. On top of that, Cologne have scored in four of their six Bundesliga away games, despite their poor form. We subsequently feel a 3-1 win for Leipzig is a likely outcome in this game.
Atalanta have been working with the same coach for four years, they brought in the players suited to that style of football.

Burnley back to vintage selvesBurnley's second-half display in their 2-1 win over Champions League-chasing Leicester on Sunday signalled a return to the grit and character that has been the Clarets' blueprint since they returned to the top flight in 2016. There was more of the same in Manchester on Wednesday as Wood and Rodriguez showed the ruthlessness up front the east Lancashire side have sorely missed at times this season.

Inter will against Ludogorets in match UEFA Europe League. Inter has just defeat Ludogorets in 1st leg with score 0-2. Beside that Inter will play this match in the home and surely my prediction that Inter can defeat Ludogorets with margin score is 2 goals. Moreover Inter always have more confidence in home match and surely Inter will have more chance to win on this match. Even though Ludogorets have good result on last 3 away match in qualification, I think Ludogorets can't be easy to beat Inter due to Inter have good defense and player. Therefore, I'm sure that Inter will be win on this match.

That must have been, ooh, about nine years ago. Well, you were right! It was exactly nine years ago. And like a kid at Christmas, Norwich's Twitter account woke up very early to remind us all. HAT TIP Over at The Athletic (£), Daniel Taylor would like to talk about Phil Jones. When the option of asking for a testimonial was brought up, he decided against it.
Nimes aren't having the best of seasons, but if we scratch beneath the surface there's a reasonable amount to like about their home efforts, so much so that they warrant more respect in the betting. For all they've not taken a great deal of points, Blaquart's side have been tough to beat at home, especially of late, losing just one of their last five. During that time, they've conceded only three goals and haven't conceded more than once in 90 minutes. They've also done a good job of bettering teams in terms of shots, averaging 17 for and 8.2 against.
