We let it slip through certain mistakes when [Atletico] were already almost dead, in less than 10 minutes they turned round a game that we should have seen out. It hurts because it is a title and we wanted to be in the final and win it, we showed a different side to what we have been showing recently against Espanyol and at the end of last year, we played a good game but sadly we couldn't get the victory.
Brugge had a runaway 15 point lead at the top of the standings with one round of matches left to play before the start of the post-season playoffs, involving the top six clubs. They were runners-up last season to Racing Genk, who were seventh when the league was suspended last month in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
Since joining the Match of the Day team in 2004 I've commentated on 1,042 football matches for BBC television. I only know that because a number was told to me when I was in the 900s so I thought I might as well keep count!There have been hundreds of others before and since then too, so as I've been doing a lot of "Rewinding" during lockdown, here are a few more commentary reminiscences. Best game I've commentated onThis is something that changes all the time, and to be honest I'm not the best at remembering games once they've passed.
Real Madrid have been linked with a summer transfer for De Gea recently, which United are said to be considering due to the return of Henderson from his loan spell. Henderson has impressed during his time in Sheffield and has gathered interest from the likes of Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur.
Going to the match, hosts Villarreal have so far managed 54 points and are in fifth place while Barcelona, in second place, have 70 points. A top four place is achievable for Villarreal, as they are just three points out and have had a fine run since the league returned from the forced break. Their top four target will have a big boost if they can win here and their recent run has been very encouraging.
Prosecutors, however, accused him of inciting the non-reporting of a gift. Valcke is accused of exploiting his position at football's world governing body Fifa between 2013 and 2015 to influence the award of media rights for Italy and Greece for various World Cups and other tournaments scheduled between 2018 and 2030 "in order to favour media partners that he preferred," in exchange for the payments from the unnamed businessman.
Video - Neymar praises 'special player' Sancho ahead of Champions League showdown00:58 RB Leipzig are level with Dortmund on 42 points, but have a game in hand. The result was a much-needed fillip for Dortmund ahead of their last 16 Champion's League clash with Paris St Germain at the Westfalenstadion on Tuesday.
This is new duel where I will bet on goals and that is pretty good option. So, this is league where new season is started, as I remember, two weeks ago, and I hope that they will be on level like they are played in last season. When I said that, I mean on fact that Ahal and their today's rival - Altyn Asyr are rivals who are playing all the time efficient and with plenty of goals and probably they will continue and this time on that level. In last two matches, this rivals are played 2-1 and 3-1, so over is real.
But Arsenal came out with renewed focus in the second half and scored twice before the hour mark to put the game to bed - Aubameyang powering in a header for his 15th league goal of the campaign from Pepe's hanging cross. And it was Pepe, the club's £72m record signing, who turned from provider to goalscorer following sublime work by Saka, who nutmegged Valentino Lazaro and provided the perfect cross for him to tuck home.

As such, backing an Inter win looks the only way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we're more than happy to do. Inter have scored exactly twice in 4 of their last 5 home games and that's a streak that could well continue in a potential 2-0 victory.
Kane was forced off with a hamstring injury after the goal was ruled out. Mourinho appeared to look at a piece of paper on the Southampton bench. He was immediately shown a yellow card by referee Mike Dean, which Mourinho later said he "accepted" after arguing with goalkeeping coach Andrew Sparkes over what is understood to be annoyance at time-wasting tactics. I was rude. But I was rude with an idiot.
The report stated that Vélez Sarsfield star Thiago Almada was set to move to Inter with Messi, but the Argentine rubbished that. This news is wrong and the same applies to the reports about Newell's. Both are wrong,” wrote Messi. Rumours of a potential Inter Milan switch were given weight in recent days after former Inter Milan supremo Massimo Moratti told Radio RAI 1 that he believed Inter would be interested in signing the six-time Ballon d’Or winner.
Nonetheless, Levante's recent form should make them competitive, and they are likely to give Atleti's traditionally firm backline something to ponder. Granotas have scored in all but one of their last eight league matches, netting 15 in total, whilst they have also managed to score in six of their nine away outings this season.
I know odds are not great for taking the over 2.5 goals but they are just as low for the over 2.5 goals bet as at this moment Nykobing is just the first club above the bottom two relegation places in the league while Roskilde is actually bottom with only 16 points won by them so far this season and they are 9 points away from Nykobing and the win here is really a must if they are to avoid relegation, and they have played here this winter break a friendly game and it was a high scoring one with 5 goals scored total both teams scoring 2+ goals and Nykobing winning with 3-2 in the end.

Bate Borisov has had a nightmare of an opening this season and I believe that they will start winning soon. I can't see them lose three games in a row. So I will go for that the home team will win with at least two goals in this game instead.

Solskjaer, whose side are ninth, level on points with Burnley and Crystal Palace, has struggled to get results in what was billed as a transitional season for his young team. COMMANDING PRESENCE NEEDED If United's hierarchy want improvement this season then they must surely back Solskjaer in the transfer window and provide him with the missing quality his side needs.
The scrutiny and the pressure that these kids are under - it was difficult for me coming into the team and I was surrounded by world class players left, right and centre. These lads don't have that support network around them and they are really finding it difficult. It might make a few of them, but at the same time it will probably break a few of them as well, which is really disappointing. During the game, fans vented their frustration with chants against United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and the club's owners the Glazer family.
Twenty seven! Perhaps advisedly, Solskjaer claims he isn't spending too much time looking at the league table at the moment - which has his side 22 points behind Liverpool. He said after the Villa draw: " The league table at this point is not the biggest concern because it is so tight. I wouldn't have sat here and talked about us being fifth if we had got that one goal extra.
Yet despite the upheaval, Mark Robins' side are fourth in League One. Fans just want to get back to following football," Eyles said. This season, the product on the pitch is fantastic. Mark Robins is doing a great job and the team is playing cracking football. If we were in Coventry, we'd probably have 12,000-15,000 people turning up every game. Because of our situation, the average is under 7,000.
Ultimately, this is a match Stoke will fancy their chances in and it represents a good chance to continue their recent improvement. On paper, they have to be considered a stronger side than Reading and also with home advantage, they are clear favourites to secure victory.
Video - 'Real to sign Haaland in 2020, Mbappe in 2021' - Euro Papers01:39 "Last year was the best of the six I've had here and I was annoyed with how I was treated.

The club needs to change my title and description. Of course I am the boss deciding the strategic play but in another area I don't know. Today I feel like I am the coach. Sir Alex Ferguson used to talk about "the four-year cycle" at Manchester United, the crucial time when a team needs refreshing, fresh voices need to be heard, fresh ideas implemented by new players. Pochettino, because of a financial straightjacket, could not do that.

However, Hammers boss David Moyes, in only his second game in charge since returning to the club, only made three changes as he looked to overcome a Gillingham side sitting 12th in League One. That did not stop the hosts, playing at a packed Priestfield Stadium, from performing well against a team ranked 40 places above them in the English football pyramid; the Gills were a constant threat from corners, long throws and free-kicks.

Now people can see that he has to work a lot so don't think that Parrott is the second Harry Kane because he's just a young kid that needs to work. Let's forget the penalty because we all miss the penalties, it was not Troy. Parrott's climb to the fringes of the Tottenham first team has been sharp - only five years ago he was barely on the radar back in Dublin, never mind for Premier League scouts.
Not just football - meeting new family members, having a normal Christmas. It was all so unknown. The emotional toll on Taylor and those close to him was huge. I put on a brave face for my mum but she could see through it. She knew when I was down and my girlfriend, Lydia, was with me a lot of the time on the nights when I was struggling.

Blackpool, who find themselves lingering in the mid-table section, will see this poor home form as an opportunity. The Seasiders are just two points adrift of the playoff places and have made themselves very difficult to beat, although their lack of winning spirit is becoming a problem.
Den Haag is team who is second bottom at moment and that is relegation place as you already know. They had new manager and that is well known also, Alan Pardew who had been manager in many England teams in past few years. His word we already can see as Den Haag won against Hoffenheim 2:1 during the break. So this team must improve and today they are in must win situation. Stadium will be full, and visitors are the worst team away from home with score 1-1-7 and 27 goals conceded in this 9 away games what is average 3 per game. So this should be home win IMO. Good luck !!!
