This inspired us to take a trip down memory lane and remind ourselves of other times when players went back to haunt their former clubs. Emmanuel Adebayor Adebayor scored in his first four games for Manchester City, including against former club ArsenalOld but gold, and probably one of the most infamous goal celebrations in Premier League history.
Man City were the only team to stop Villa from scoring in their last nine Premier League matches, and Dean Smith's goal-hungry charges registered at least twice in six of those nine fixtures. However, a return of just one clean sheet during the same period shines a light on the topsy-turvy nature of Villa’s performances and results.
Meanwhile, after a respectable 7th placed finish last season, Antalyaspor came into the campaign hopeful of another strong year. However, things haven't transpired that way and the team is looking far less of a force, with maintaining top flight status now the only priority, coming into this weekend inside the drop zone with just 14 points from 16 outings.
Budge was once of the view that 42 senior clubs was too many for Scotland. You're looking at half that number," she said in 2016. Now she'll be arguing for a model that will likely increase the number of senior clubs to 44. When crisis hits, expedience rules. Perhaps we're at a point now where clubs can set aside their own personal agendas and vote for a reconstruction model that would undo the injustice perpetrated on Partick Thistle, but we'd be as well holding on to our scepticism for now.
MILAN, Feb 8 (Reuters) - AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic is likely to feature in Sunday’s Serie A derby with Inter Milan after flu said head coach Stefano Pioli who has urged his players to follow the striker’s example. The 38-year-old Swede, who joined the club for a second spell on a free transfer during the January transfer window, missed Milan’s 1-1 draw with Hellas Verona last Sunday.
Liverpool will wake up to pain on Thursday because they revel in their status as European royalty. Defeats such as this hurt badly, especially when they are inflicted at Anfield. There will not be much in the way of consolation right away - but it is back to Premier League business in the Merseyside derby at Everton on Monday. And the thing all Liverpool fans have dreamed about for the past 30 years is still only two wins away.
Concerns will further grow if they fail to win that one. Motherwell's winless run goes on after late St Johnstone winner Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: St Johnstone 2-1 Motherwell Dykes keeps Livingston on courseLivingston didn't exactly blow St Mirren away on Wednesday night, but they did, ultimately, manage to pick up another important home win and that was largely down to the excellence of Lyndon Dykes.
I'm sure that Hovås Billdal IF will dominate this game from start and that Lindome GIF will have huge problems in defensive their goal. It should be a huge gap between these two teams and I can't see any problems for Hovås to win this game with at least three goals.
Dortmund have failed to win eight of their last 13 Bundesliga fixtures. We feel there is a strong chance that they will also fail to win this Saturday's fixture versus in-form Augsburg. We are backing Augsburg double chance for this game.
Managua FC will host Deportivo Ocotal for this fixture of the league. No doubt, Managua is strong favorites in this game. Managua is one of the main favorites in this campaign. No doubt, the hosts have the potential to make a positive result. I think, they want to get all three points. However, this is a very unpredictable league. Perhaps, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Yeah, Ocotal is one of the main outsiders. They were weaker team in the last matches. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, my pick - Ocotal to win.
We won't accept anything less than equal pay," she said in an interview with ABC TV channel last August. We show up for a game, if we win the game, if we lose the game, if we tie the game, we want to be paid equally, period. Equal pay offerThe women's case was publicly supported by male players. On 12 February the US men's team issued a statement criticising the governing body in no uncertain terms.
Man of the match - Robby McCrorieWith only a point separating the teams prior to kick-off, this was always going to be a close affair. For the home side, Doidge led the line excellently while Docherty put in another fine display in midfield. For Livingston, Sibbald and Lawless were immense but man of the match must go to McCrorie.
The former Celtic and Middlesbrough boss was also critical of the overall "product" of Scottish football, and believes the spectacle must improve to bring in more money. If you think giving a good product is watching two teams in the bottom half of the Scottish Premiership playing on a plastic pitch, you're kidding yourself," he said. Absolutely kidding yourself. He added: "I just think we get over this period, see where we all are, how we all come out it.
Alongside our Man City to win prediction, we're tipping the Citizens to win 2-1 in our correct score forecast. City are without a clean sheet in nine matches, though they conceded more than once on only three separate occasions during that sequence. At the other end City have been a little off the boil of late on their travels, scoring more than twice only once in their last five away games. We expect that aforementioned combination of factors to influence the final score on Wednesday.
In the moments before kick-off the black balloons, the signal of protest, were inflated and banners were unfurled reading "Karren Brady - You're Fired", "Sullivan This Charmless Man," "Run Like A Circus Owned By Clowns" and "State Of The Art Retractable Promises". It was a sign of how the relationship and trust has broken down on the fans' part. There were plenty of colourful chants against the owners but suddenly spirits soared by what West Ham's followers saw on the field.

Dinamo defeated with ease Academica with 4-2 at home earlier this season and they should be quite attacking minded here in this away game as well as the hosts lack the quality to hope for more than to avoid relegation from the first league being their first season in the top flight and they are really not capable of fighting strong against top teams like Dinamo even in home games so Dinamo who is quite attacking minded even on the road should be scoring a couple here and hope they win by at least 2 goals difference because they are capable of it.
The Blades’ long standing unbeaten record away from home came to an end on Sunday as they lost 2-0 at Manchester City, but once again it was far from a disastrous display from the newly promoted underdogs.

The Warm-Up: Kaneocalpyse Now, as Messi slams 'childish' Barcelona Transfer window LIVE - Inter ready to make bid as Eriksen arrives in Milan for talks It was a hotly anticipated battle; it was last year’s runners-up, who lost the title in such heart-breaking fashion, up against one of the pretenders, riding high after winning their opening two games of the season under new manager Mauricio Pochettino without conceding a goal.
The priority this month is to win tomorrow. Difficult match, Championship teams we know what they can do," he said. We know what Fulham did to (Aston) Villa, what Leeds (United) almost did to Arsenal, what Middlesbrough did to us. In our situation we are in our limits and incredible effort against Liverpool two days ago and players brought a level of intensity in that game they are not used to.

South Korea reported 161 new cases of the flu-like virus on Monday, bringing the total number of infected patients in the country to 763. The Korea Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said seven South Koreans had died. The coronavirus outbreak, which has infected nearly 77,000 people and killed more than 2,500 in China, has also had a major impact on Asia's sporting calendar, with a host of events canceled or postponed throughout the region.
Celtic's record-equalling ninth title in a row would not be a lesser achievement if the season is called early, says captain Scott Brown. Neil Lennon's side were on track for the Scottish Premiership crown when football was halted by coronavirus. The SPFL's successful resolution gives it the power to call the top flight. Asked if Celtic glory would feel "diminished", Brown said: "No. We're 13 points clear with a great goal difference and eight games to play.
As recently as 12 July, they were seven points adrift of 17th place, but their first four-game unbeaten run of the season saw them to safety, with Sunday's draw at West Ham one of eight points they earned in that time. Villa were committed to a full review of their transfer policy after spending £118m on new players last summer, many of whom failed to meet expectations. Villa subsequently brought in goalkeeper Pepe Reina, midfielder Danny Drinkwater and striker Mbwana Samatta in January.
They host Brentford who are fourth but four points behind their opponents. It's a crucial week for Fulham as after this game, they travel to second-placed Leeds United. Two wins and they could be on their way to the Premier League. Poor results and they'll be battling to finish in the play-off positions.
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson's defensive problems worsened soon afterwards when Patrick van Aanholt appeared to overstretch his hamstring and was replaced by eventual match-winner Schlupp. Bournemouth, who have now lost four consecutive games, failed to capitalise on their extra man though and Palace keeper Vicente Guaita was hardly troubled.

I want to thank you for your commitment in these hard times and for your help. Atletico are sixth in La Liga, a point off fourth place and Champions League qualification with 11 games to go. However, they qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals after eliminating defending champions Liverpool earlier this month.
Chinandega had a 7-0 loss recently and a loss like this was coming for them as their defending has looked very week for a number of matches. The away team have played well here in the past and should beat this handicap. The away team has won often here and really overall their 2 previous games with Chinandega have looked good too, they were both draws but the away team were playing at home on those matches. The away team have the better recent history between these teams in my view and are less likely to lose this match by a lot
There were big wins for both Tottenham and Reading, who both dispatched their respective opponents Barnsley and London City 5-0, while Birmingham ran out 3-0 winners over Championship high-flyers Sheffield United.

After an encouraging start under Nigel Pearson, who became their third manager of the season on 6 December, Watford have now collected a single point from their last four games. They still have to play Leicester and Manchester City, who have already beaten them 8-0 this season, in a tricky run-in that begins against Liverpool at Vicarage Road on 29 February. Harry Gregg rememberedPrior to the game, there was an impeccably observed minute's silence for former United keeper Harry Gregg, who died on 16 February, aged 87.
Rounds three and four of the pool qualifiers were due to be played in the international window from March 25-31, but the CAF emergency committee has postponed the games until further notice, without providing alternative dates. The Nations Cup finals in Cameroon have been moved forward to next January-February to avoid the rainy season, which means the qualifiers will have to be completed this year.
Still, Arteta is a highly-rated young coach and one that Arsenal probably should have appointed instead of Unai Emery a couple of years ago anyway. Will he be the man to solve all of Arsenal’s problems? Maybe, and he undoubtedly has some exceptional players at his disposal. But equally will he just be eaten by the gaping yaw of Arsenal’s infinite sadness? After the club was allowed to decay in the final Arsene Wenger years and are now owned by a man whose interest in running things basically extends to sending his son to peruse things every now and then, will he actually make any difference? Who knows.
