It doesn't feel somehow special. We know about it and it is special but I can't feel it," he said. When someone gives you a trophy it is done, but until then you need to fight. It is only the start. We need to continue because our contenders are so strong. Pep (Guardiola, Man City boss) will not give up.
There are concerns about players' fitness ahead of such an intensive programme and whether they will be more injury prone after their hiatus, but Norwood says he and his team-mates are in good shape. We have done all the running that we would do pre-season, albeit away from the training ground," Norwood said in an interview with BBC Radio 5 live's The Friday Football Social. We have done a test that we do first day back of pre-season, and everyone has bettered their times, so we are obviously doing something right.

But what took place thereafter was a moment of sheer magic. Three minutes into the second half saw the most exquisite first-time ball from Ross Barkley set up a glorious strike by Alonso that put the game beyond Spurs. It momentarily took my mind off the awful decision to leave Tottenham's Giovani lo Celso on the pitch for his shocking tackle on Azpilicueta. Did you know? Since the start of the 2016-17 season, Alonso has scored more goals than any other Premier League defender (17).
As we mentioned, we think Melbourne Victory should win this one fairly comfortably and we think a 3-0 scoreline looks to represent good value with the visitors growing in confidence each week and welcoming back their talisman, Toivonen, this weekend. Central Coast are at full strength this weekend but we don’t think that will be enough for them to trouble Victory and we’re backing the easy win for the away side.
Two wins from their remaining two games will seal a 100% record and another one for the history books. What records have they broken? The most important stat has already been achieved of course - Premier League title #1 was achieved last month. Their coronation with seven matches still remaining was a record for the earliest Premier League title win by number of games played, but it was also the latest in the year it has ever been won - no other title has been won in June, of course.
Dordrecht and Excelsior will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie in Holland. Dordrecht this season have the following results: 2W, 5D and 13L. Meanwhile Excelsior have 10W, 4D and 6L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
The hosts are favourites to continue that run this weekend. They have form on their side, as Boro have lost just one of their previous 12 home meetings with Derby. That streak includes a run of nine wins in 10, while the Rams could return to those Riverside woes after a tough campaign on the road under Phillip Cocu.
Gomes men are on a six-game winless run on the road, and have even lost four of their last five road trips. Continuing, they were winless in 13 of their 14 previous away games, and since March 2019, they have won only three times on the road. On the other hand, their counterpart is undefeated in their last three matches, and they have been undefeated in ten of their twelve previous appearances on this field. Portimonense would definitely like to get away from the relegation bar and they have a good opportunity tonight. Their opponent lost 7 of their 11 away games. But they will defend well here
Stourbridge fc which are at 6th position are going to Locke their horns against Royston Town this evening, they meet three times before this, and the visitors won two and the host won one game, the visitors won 3-1 their last game of head to head.

The three players were described as having "extremely mild illness" and were advised by club medical staff to stay home and contact the NHS 111 service. All three players were subsequently advised that their symptoms were consistent with common seasonal illness and that a seven-day period of self-isolation was appropriate as a precaution," added the statement. There was no recommendation that further testing would be necessary.
It is understood there are other clubs interested in the 38-year-old, a free agent after leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the Major League Soccer season. However, confidence is growing in Italy that the striker will rejoin Milan, where he spent two seasons from 2010, scoring 42 goals in 61 league outings.

That's how football is. It has nothing to do with games you won before, it has nothing to do with the games you will win, it is just this one football game, unfortunately. For tonight, we have to admit Watford were the better team. Next up for Liverpool is an FA Cup fifth round tie at Chelsea on Tuesday as they still chase a Champions League, Premier League and domestic Cup treble.
Lille have a fine run over Lyon; they have won five of their last 10 meetings and lost just once. However, that is just history – Lille have not been doing so well lately, at least in terms of attack and defence. They particularly have a poor record in the French League Cup and having beaten Lyon in December, Lyon may want to go for the kill here. We are backing Lyon for a win here.
This meant Solskjaer's side had over two weeks to sign a replacement. What exactly were the club doing during that fortnight? The replacement ended up being a loan move for a 30-year-old striker who has been playing in China since 2017. No offence to either Ighalo or Murray, but United should be making moves for elite-level forwards.
Still, Liverpool shouldn’t be over confident coming into this game. Their first team squad will be undeniably weary after their long trip and subsequent victory in the Club World Cup, and their performances away from home this season haven’t been spectacular.
Staying in touch with friends and family, business meetings and quizzes - video calls have become a key part of life during the coronavirus pandemic. And now Danish Superliga club AGF Aarhus are using the technology to bring 10,000 fans to the side of their pitch, despite the season being played behind closed doors when it restarts on Thursday. At their home game against Randers, AGF will install a giant screen along the side of the pitch, creating what they call "the world's first virtual grandstand" so fans can support the team for free via Zoom - there will even be a section for away fans.
