Also gone were the likes of influential captain Paul McStay and the 'Three Amigos' - the talented but troublesome strike trio of Paolo di Canio, Jorge Cadete and Pierre van Hooijdonk. I think everybody was fearing the worst," says Gould, who was among the raft of new signings along with a certain Swedish striker, Henrik Larsson. There was a sense it would take time for us to gel. Gould, who had been plucked from obscurity but would quickly become first-choice keeper, was blissfully unaware he had just been dropped into a maelstrom.
Guardiola was on United's radar to replace Sir Alex Ferguson but had already agreed to join Bayern Munich when the Scot retired in 2013. The Spaniard said his status at City means he would not join United even if it was the only offer he had. If I didn't have any offers, I would be in the Maldives," he said. Maybe not the Maldives because it doesn't have any golf courses but after training City, I won't train United, just like I would never train Madrid," said Guardiola, speaking before his side's trip to Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday.
Forwards: Largie Ramazani (19), D'Mani Bughail-Mellor (19), Mason Greenwood (18). The 38-year-old former centre back, who served as the U-21's coach, will still have the chance to take the side to the finals of the June 12 to July 12 tournament through the playoffs. Romania, who finished fourth in Group F, will visit Iceland in the playoff semi-finals in March, with the winner then taking on Bulgaria or Hungary to secure progress to the main Euro 2020 draw.
A depleted Newcastle side dug deep to come away from Wolverhampton Wanderers with a point over the Premier League weekend but they lost defender Paul Dummett and striker Dwight Gayle to injuries within the first 30 minutes.

Fresh from their tremendous 0-1 triumph over Ajax which secured their passage to the Last 16 of the Champions League, Valencia were by far the better side in last weekend's feature game, and looked to have won it after Carlos Soler broke the deadlock 12 minutes from time.
For more than three months, they sat six-points adrift of second-placed West Brom waiting for the chance to reduce the gap. Likewise, Brentford remained just one spot and four points behind their city neighbours in the play-off places awaiting the season restart. Victory for the Bees means they have only lost one of their past nine league games and consolidates their place in the play-offs. Meanwhile Fulham face a huge challenge against table-toppers Leeds United next weekend.
Home for has been a real issue for Milan this term. They've won only two out of seven at San Siro, losing three of the other five. Seven goals for during that time is a poor return, especially when they've conceded a total of ten. They're also surrendered an average of one more shot on target than they're registering at home. Their numbers need to improve.
He's a fundamental player for us and I do not see any scenario where he leaves us. KOHFELDT QUESTIONED Florian Kohfeldt hoped Werder Bremen turned a corner with a win at VfL Wolfsburg last weekend after a difficult start to the season. However, that proved a false dawn after defeat by bottom of the table Paderborn on Sunday.

Heidenheim defender Norman Theuerkauf's early own goal gave Bremen the lead and it took the home side until the 85th minute to equalise through Tim Kleindienst. Ludwig Augustinsson restored the visiting side's lead with a 94th-minute strike and, despite Kleindienst scoring a penalty eight minutes into stoppage time, Bremen celebrated securing their Bundesliga status. I'm just happy and glad that we made it after all that," said Bremen coach Florian Kohfeldt.

Atletico have progressed from four of their five previous Champions League knockout ties when winning the first leg, failing only in last season's last 16 tie against Juventus (2-0 first leg, 0-3 second leg). Jurgen Klopp is yet to lose a home Champions League game with Liverpool (W11 D4). If Liverpool go out, it would be the first time since a run of four seasons between 2004-05 and 2007-08 that the Champions League holders have failed to go beyond the last 16 in consecutive seasons, with Real Madrid having going out at this stage last season against Ajax.
Hannover is having good chance to take on the young team of the host, where they have boosted their power and the squad in the winter transfer period. Away side does not have victory from their home pitch, and draw in the previous match could make them a good position in front of this visit.
Unai Emery says Arsenal are making "a good decision" by appointing Mikel Arteta to replace him as manager. Emery, 48, was sacked last month after an 18-month spell in charge ended with a seven-game winless run. Manchester City assistant boss Arteta was announced as the new Gunners boss on Friday.

Our primary concern will always be for the safety and welfare of clubs, players, staff, officials, volunteers and supporters during this unprecedented time. Today's steps take into account the financial impact during this uncertain period, whilst considering the fairest method on how the sporting outcomes for the season will be decided, with the integrity of the leagues in mind. The decision applies to steps three to seven in men's non-league football, while all "grassroots" divisions below these tiers have also finished.
Jolted into all-out attack, Chelsea substitute Michy Batshuayi had a goal ruled out for offside moments after coming on, but they continued to bombard the Bournemouth box with set-pieces and crosses. Their efforts paid off with five minutes of normal time left as Mason Mount fired a rocket that keeper Aaron Ramsdale could only parry and Alonso reacted quickest to head home.
In terms of a correct score tip, Forest Green Rovers have the joint best away record in the division and have won two of their last three outings so should be able to get the three points. They concede an average of 0.56 goals per game away and three of their five away wins have come by a single goal margin. This, coupled with the fact that Orient have only managed one goal in their last four league matches, means we think a 1-0 away win is the way to go.
In 12 matches to the end of the season, he started just three and played no part at all in three. It is against that backdrop that Bayern were circling as Sane stalled on a new contract City felt confident at one stage the player would sign. Last week, Guardiola confirmed the player wanted to leave and now Bayern have come forward with a package that over the five years of his contract will net Sane £100m.
Clubs, fans and local authorities know their stadiums best. We will give them the power to decide on safe-standing areas. This is about safety. The current system isn't working, people are standing in unsafe seated areas, and accidents can happen. We will allow the installation of specialised rail seating where appropriate, or standing in current seated areas where it can be made safe to do so. The extensive data from surveys provided by the EFL and fans' groups clearly show that fans want safe standing introduced.
We are going to the second division match in Spain where Sporting de Gijon face Real Oviedo. The local team is in the half of table coming after winning 0-2 in Alcorcón and I hope that today at home they can score one or more goals again. On the other hand, Oviedo needs the points to leave the relegation zone and after drawing 2-2 against Deportivo, I hope they can score one or more goals today. In my opinion, Sporting Gijon is only a slight favorite. Real Oviedo has finally started to score and is getting further and further away from the relegation zone. They are still threatened but with a win they would leave it. They have been unbeaten for four games in a row.
With the season's primary objective achieved, sporting director Tony Asghar met head coach Robbie Neilson - at a "2m distance" - for a celebratory, socially-distanced beer in what looked like an abandoned public car park. It's the stuff dreams are made of. Tony Asghar's tweet has since vanished following his socially distanced beer with Robbie NeilsonThere was certainly no sign of champagne, but that beer might have tasted all the more sweeter knowing that city rivals Dundee's casting vote confirmed United's return to the Premiership next season.
There have already been five managers sacked this season - Mauricio Pochettino, Unai Emery and Marco Silva leaving Tottenham, Arsenal and Everton respectively, while Watford have fired both Javi Gracia and his replacement Quique Sanchez Flores. Pellegrini said that sometimes teams could change managers "too soon" and that it is "important to have a cool mentality and trust the manager you brought. He added that his players are still behind him, having impressed in victory over Chelsea last month.
I hope Atletico will push fan culture to another level and we'll see a presence around the city," said Hooper. People have been blown away so far and we're buzzing to see this finally start. The Atletico projectIt has been some job for Atletico Ottawa chief executive Fernando Lopez, who was tasked with assembling a roster, appointing backroom staff and getting the club up and running. He would still like to sign six or seven players once restrictions are lifted.
Odds are pretty solid on goals in this match from Belorussia Reserve league and I will take this over 2,5, even I was hope that I will have and option on over 3,5 what is also more than ok. Home team or Isloch Reserves is playing more than interesting duel in last round in one great match, in who was scored even six goals, 4-2. Slavia Reserves is also very good team and I see here at least two goals of this team. Over is really excellent option, even I was hope, that odds will be just a little better.

Jose Mourinho, for the second time this month, will take the reins for Tottenham Hotspur as they face off against one of his former clubs. This time it’s Chelsea, and despite how his last encounter with a former employer went he’ll be in good spirits ahead of this clash.
But that doesn’t quite tell the full story. This was another peculiar display from Messi. Something isn’t quite right with him at the moment, even if he was able to find the back of the net. MAN OF THE MATCH - Gerard Pique (Barcelona) On another day, Real Sociedad would have left Camp Nou with a point, or maybe even all three, to show for their impressive performance.
Here I am to present this game, which takes to Turkish football championship, and in which Ankaragucu will play against Kasimpasa, both teams are very close in the league table in the relegation zone. The away team comes from 4 consecutive defeats and is in very bad shape right now. It is on a match between two badly classified teams that I will bet. There are only two pts difference between them but Ankaragucu will play at home and therefore they have a good advantage. In addition, Ankara has 2 wins in 3 home games against Kasimpasa. But I would prefer to take draw here.
The hosts had seemingly turned a corner this season, but their results of late suggest that isn’t the case. Last term saw Bristol City miss out on the playoffs due to runs of poor results mixed in with their good form. This season looked different with the Robins avoiding defeat frequently, but they are now starting to show worrying signs.
If it is fight that keeps a team alive, Brian Rice's team have a good chance of staying up. Hamilton pegged back by late Halkett header Time running out for StendelClearly, something is not right at Hearts. Their manager, Daniel Stendel, said before the 2-2 draw with Hamilton that he could sense an air of confidence and positivity in the changing room. Yet, within 16 minutes, his team were all at sea as twice Marios Ogkmpoe had knocked the ball past goalkeeper Zdenek Zlamal, who had come in after on-loan Manchester United man Joel Pereira was dropped.

Don't let the sand complaint fool you though, the former Celtic and St Mirren winger is a happy man. Having never once set foot in the United States, he signed for David Beckham's newly created club without hesitation last month. Beckham watches opening Miami defeatInter Miami - Why Beckham's team have ultras'Bling slaps you in the face'The lure of being part of the latest, and much-talked about, MLS franchise, coupled with the uncertainty of life at Celtic, were the factors that made the decision an easy one for the midfielder who has two Scotland caps.
Gorodeya made the highest scoring match in the season, when lost in Zhodino 9:4. They should not repeat such a big result in this round, mostly because their rival could force slower tempo with not offensive tactics. Home side is near the bottom, and they are one of the weakest team in the competition.
Ferguson's exuberant touchline celebrations and ballboy hugging also helped to lift the gloom of the Marco Silva era. Already the talk is of Everton following Manchester United's example with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and keeping Ferguson in the job. That may be a case of 'heart ruling head', given Ferguson's lack of management experience, but if Everton emerge victorious from their clash with Solskjaer's side at Old Trafford on Sunday, the temptation will be there.
Reaction & as it happenedHosts frustrated as Southwood excelsThe recall of Morelos after he was left out of the Tynecastle defeat for a breach of discipline was designed to add sharpness to Rangers' attack. But for all their intent, they were lacking in composure in the opening 45 minutes. Ianis Hagi was denied by Luke Southwood early on and Florian Kamberi was also foiled by the visiting goalkeeper.

Sydney FC come into this game as odds on favourites and it’s easy to see why. They have the better recent record, better historical record and are winning games with ease at the moment. With their ability to find the net and with Newcastle struggling to keep the opposition from breaching their defence, we’re very confident in predicting Sydney scoring over 1.5 goals this weekend.
The referee abandoned the game with some five minutes remaining shortly after Palmeiras’ second goal condemned the home side to a 2-0 defeat. Police fired percussion grenades as angry fans threw objects and fought on the terraces and officials decided it was not safe for the players to continue. Many people had already left the Mineirao stadium before the end as scuffles broke out among fans furious at the club’s plight.
The 27-year-old, who was also dropped, has since found his way back into the squad and former Manchester City assistant Arteta said he would offer his full support to Xhaka, having taken charge of 11th-placed Arsenal last week. Video - Nightmare before Christmas for Man Utd as Haaland picks Italian giants - Euro Papers01:21 Xhaka has been linked by the German media with a switch to Hertha Berlin but Arteta said he had spoken to the player about his future.
It's great to go through in the FA Cup, but we have to think about our game against Cardiff City on Tuesday which is the priority," he said. We're going to rest some players and we are going to try some players. For West Ham, I presume the league is also the priority but they are also craving a positive result.
