I didn't get my chance until the third game, but I was ready. Gordon Strachan: "It wasn't easy being away in those days. We got one phone call home a week from the SFA. There was no internet, no social media to keep up, the only telly was Spanish telly, and Willie Miller was the room-mate who just wanted to sleep 24/7. The room was the first I'd ever been in that had the harling [rough plaster] on the inside.
Haaland has made up his mind - Solskjaer Manchester United boss believes that Erling Braut Haaland, whom he coached at Molde, has decided his future after his spectacular scoring streak for RB Salzburg has seen him top the wish clubs of many clubs, including reportedly the Old Trafford outfit.

Relive Tuesday's Championship actionThe points saw Leeds go a point clear of West Bromwich Albion, who will return to the summit if they win at Wigan on Wednesday, and 11 points above third-placed Fulham, while Grant McCann's Hull drop into the bottom half. Both sides perked up after a fairly uninspiring first 45 minutes at Elland Road, towering striker Eaves denied by Casilla before Costa's effort was ruled out for offside against Jack Harrison, whose low ball was swept in.

Osijek has gotten quite close to the top 4 teams above them in the league standings, well the 1st place will go for sure to Dinamo Zagreb and the have lost in the Cup away from home at Rijeka with 3-2, but played well, but they are quite close to the 2nd place currently taken by Rijeka and that is a Champions League qualifying place for next season, so they should be fully motivated to be winning this away game here as they won on their last visit in the cup 2-0 last time they played at this venue this season.

Although it's my second Champions League final, the first time I wasn't convinced by my own performance. But this year I was happy with how I performed and the team performed. It's the marquee game and you want to put on a good show for women's football - so that was a huge highlight. That first half I smiled all the way through. Proudest moment?"At the World Cup I was so disappointed as my mind was set on getting to the final, so everything to do with it now I feel a bit sad.
Real Madrid pair Thibaut Courtois and Marcelo are injury doubts for the Champions League last-16 second leg against Manchester City on 17 March. Belgium goalkeeper Courtois has an abductor injury while Brazil left-back Marcelo has a hamstring problem. Real have not given a timescale for their recovery but say both players will be "monitored". The 13-time European champions will already be without captain Sergio Ramos after he was sent off in the first leg.
On the face of it, this clash looks like a typical relegation six-pointer in which either side is capable of upsetting the other and boosting their own survival bid. However, dig a little deeper and you will see a side who are going well on home soil and have a solid defensive foundation to build from coming up against a side who concede plenty and who have not exactly enjoyed their travels this season. It should prove to be Macclesfield’s day, but given their inconsistencies this term, backing them with the “Draw – No Bet” clause looks like the wise thing to do.
In this moment, Bayern is in very good form and they will not have any problems to win in this match, at least I think so. I was watched them many many times this season and they are really great in all lines. This team was great in match, for example, against Hertha in Berlin. Home team is in that duel played mostly pretty good in defense in first 70 minutes, when it was 0-0, but in next 20 minutes, Bayern is beat them even 4-0. Mainz is in problems for a long time, so Bayern will beat them easy.
Three of the last five meetings between these teams have ended in draws. Marseille have the second-best away record in Ligue 1. Montpellier have the third-best home record in Ligue 1. Ligue 1 action this weekend sees Marseille making the trip to Montpellier on Saturday. The hosts, eighth in the table, are trying to combat a bad run of form that has seen them lose three of their last four league matches.
City, who have not progressed beyond the semis-finals of Europe's elite club competition, have been banned by UEFA for the next two seasons following an investigation into alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play rules. They face a daunting task against the 13-times champions, who they take on in the first leg in Madrid on Wednesday.
Greuther Furth are currently in 8th place but only eight points behind Stuttgart in a play off place. Their home form is decent with five wins and two draws from their last nine home league matches, keeping four clean sheets in the process.
Four years, four seasons. Buying one of the best goalkeepers in the world, buying one of the best centre-backs in the world and so on and so on and so on. I'm focused on my three-year contract. I believe that in my three-year contract we can win trophies. If we don't, but the club does it in the new era if I stay here only for three years, I will be happy with that. Tottenham spent more than £100m last summer, including on record buy Tanguy Ndombele, who has made just two substitute appearances since the restart, but also endured a string of injuries to key players earlier this season.
Norwich City have agreed to sign Luxembourg forward Danel Sinani from F91 Dudelange on a three-year contract. The Premier League's bottom club said Sinani, 23, would join before the start of the 2020-21 season. He’s a young player full of potential," said Norwich head coach Daniel Farke. Luxembourg is a completely different level so we will need to give him some time, but he has proven he can deliver in the Europa League," added Farke.

The current leaders of Turkey's top flight, Istanbul Basaksehir, take on ninth-placed Gaziantep on Monday, by which time they will probably have been knocked off their perch. The rest of the division plays before then, which gives title rivals like Trabzonspor an opportunity to take their place at the top.
Apparently Stein was jumpy in the moment, ready to swing for his goalkeeper for barely moving as the ball whizzed by him. Williams said he had the situation under control. I knew it was an indirect free-kick and they hit it first time so it was never standing. I think myself and the ref were the only two who knew the story. I went to Big Jock afterwards and I said, 'Boss, the ref just said well done to me for knowing the rules'.
It is sometimes walking off the pitch with another defeat and standing up again. The pressure is always there and you make most of the pressure yourself because you invest so much preparing the team. It's more like a breather when you take points or have done a good job. The reason you are sometimes so disappointed is that you have disappointed your fans. You wanted to give them a fantastic weekend, a fantastic evening and you didn't.
Newcastle have kept clean sheets in four of their last six Premier League home games. Tottenham go into their match with Newcastle on a high this Wednesday after victory in the North London derby.

FIRMINO CHANCE - Firmino juggles past the committed Caio absolutely brilliantly, and Firmino rattles his shot against the post with the 'keeper stranded. What a chance! 53’ - ALISSON SAVE - Barbosa gets a snapshot away just inside the box and Van Dijk can't close him down in time. Alisson gets across quickly to beat it away.
Wigan midfielder Jensen Weir is expected to complete a £500,000 move to Brighton, which will ensure the Latics are able to pay their players' wages until the end of the season. Wigan's administrators said earlier this week that the club would have to sell players as they look to cover costs, as they have no regular income. Weir became the Latics' youngest ever player in November 2017. He featured for Wigan in an EFL Trophy match aged 15 years and 280 days.
This should be a thrilling game and a massive test for both sides. Liverpool fans would love it to end in a draw to further damage the title hopes of these two sides. Manchester City need to bounce back from their Anfield defeat, while Chelsea face another test of how far they have progressed under Frank Lampard. Both teams are scoring lots of goals but aren't quite so good at defending. Go for both teams to score in this game.
Lawro's prediction: 4-0Simon's prediction: Poor Eddie Howe just cannot seem to get his Bournemouth side moving - it's hard to see where their bad run will end, and things do not look good for them at the bottom of the table. On top of that, United are flying and playing with real freedom. Sorry Eddie, but this is not a game anyone would want right now. Wolves v Arsenal (17:30 BST)Arsenal have won three in a row in the league and FA Cup but this will be a good indicator of where they are actually at because Wolves are one of the form teams in the Premier League at the moment.
It's not obligatory for me to participate myself. I could sponsor them. I could be a shareholder," Usmanov was quoted as saying by the Financial Times. They're going to build a new stadium. Why not the USM Arena?" Everton, who sacked Marco Silva as manager and appointed Carlo Ancelotti last month, are 11th in the league with 25 points from 21 games.
Billericay drew here last season 2-2 in the end, while recently lost two games in a row on the road both of them with 3-2 in the end losing away at Dartford and Tonbridge also a 4-0 loss in the cup at Forest Green and a 2-1 loss at Maidstone in their last 5 away games, so defense is very weak for them at this moment.

Barcelona could record more league wins than Real Madrid for the first time in El Clasico history. Barcelona are one goal away from reaching 400 goals in the fixture in all competitions and just four goals away from equalling Real Madrid's total of 403. Real Madrid have gone six La Liga meetings without winning against Barcelona (D2 L4), their worst such run in El Clasico since December 2011 when they had seven.
