The 31-year-old is on a £350,000-a-week contract at Arsenal, which means every single poor performance receives high levels of criticism from fans and football pundits. It must be mentally tough for Ozil but he isn't performing anywhere near to his best, so it makes sense for Arsenal to try and loan him out and get another club to pay some of his wages.
Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor is "horrified" by the idea of a truncated Scottish Championship season and says all 42 SPFL clubs "need to stick together to survive". It has been reported next season's second tier could be cut to 18 games. MacGregor is "very worried for lower-league football", and says Premiership clubs have a responsibility to look after those further down the divisions. I'm concerned with what's coming," MacGregor told BBC Scotland.
This fixture features No. 4 vs no. 11 in the league, Viitorul Constanta vs Sepsi OSK. The hosts coming from a 1 - 1 draw with Hermannstadt ( no. 13 in The league) and their last home game a 3 - 0 win over Chindia Targoviste. The visitors coming from a 0 - 1 home loss to Gaz metan medias ( no. 5 in the league) and their last away game a 2 - 1 loss to FC FCSB. The hosts should win this game but come from a draw to a team below the visitors where they scored and conceded just one goal but won their last home game with multiple goals facing a team coming from 2 losses to teams above themselves so an over 2.5 is best to tip here.

Walter Ferretti are going to host Municipal at Estadio Nacional de Futbol. Walter Ferretti produced some splendid performance throughout the regular season, and despite the team lost the last match of the regular season against Managua, they are still my favorite to win this game. Henry Urbina’s troops are a real threat at home, they won the last 4 home matches in the regular season. Municipal Jalapa, on the other hand, have been average and finished the season sitting on 5th spot in the league table, and given their recent run of bad form, it is unlikely that they are going to shock Walter Ferretti at Estadio Nacional de Futbol. In addition, they suffered a colossal 6-1 defeat against Managua in their last match.
Will Charlton finally end their long wait for a victory? The Addicks are on an 11-game stretch without success, thanks to a late goal from QPR in a 2-2 draw at the weekend. Now they are going up against a Bristol City side who have their own issues, with the Robins making this trip to the Valley following three straight defeats.
MANCHESTER, England, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward came under fire from supporters at Wednesday’s 2-0 home defeat to Burnley, with many venting frustration that he has been unable to bring in any new faces during the January transfer window. Woodward's reputation among United fans has become such a problem, however, that he did make one signing this month -- a former journalist, hired in part to improve his image.
An end to home advantage? Over 13,000 Borussia Monchengladbach fans paid to have a cardboard cut-out of themselves at Borussia ParkIs there any advantage still to be had when you don't have the support of your fans in the stadium and it's no longer intimidating for the opponents? The last two weeks of the Bundesliga suggest that could be the case. Only three wins have been picked up at home in 22 matches.
He is just a machine, someone who never walked into a treatment room and someone who I always felt going onto the pitch we could beat any type of opposition with just because he could do things that would blow me away. Best player played against? Gerrard played against ex-France star Zidane at Euro 2004"This is where I wanted to pick two. In my early days it was Zinedine Zidane. I was in my early 20s and it was probably the first time I had gone onto a football pitch and come off and been in total shock because I'd been in awe of someone.
Pandemonium ensues. In the melee, Aguero wheels away and whips his shirt off. Following on his heels (and gesturing in his custom dramatic fashion), Dean has to issue a yellow card for the celebration. I'd have been devastated if I'd have scored the goal [and been booked], but they know the score," Dean says. He does say that he would have let it go had Aguero been on a booking already. If it had been his second yellow, I would have just taken the hit.
It was feared Gomes, who underwent surgery on his right ankle, would miss the rest of the season after a challenge with Tottenham's Son Heung-min in the 1-1 draw at Goodison Park. Son was shown a red card by referee Martin Atkinson but it was later overturned on appeal. Gomes has made remarkable progress since his surgery and made a partial return to first-team training on 28 January. Manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed Gomes was nearing full fitness recently, saying: "It is really important for Andre to be progressing because, first of all, he is a player with fantastic quality.
They had a good balance in midfield and a bit of fight as well. They had creativity, combativeness and character, which is a good mix - they will need more of the same against City.

It's important that VAR is there to support the referee. It shouldn't be somebody else taking the decision on behalf of the referee, and this is how VAR is implemented in almost every part of the world, but not everywhere," he told the Olympic Channel, the International Olympic Committee's web-based TV station.
Liverpool lead the Premier League at Christmas for the second successive year as they try to win a first top-flight title for 30 years. Being top on 25 December is, of course, no guarantee of glory - as the Reds have twice found out in previous seasons. In fact, they are the only club in the past nine years not to win the title from that position. Can you name the other 10 teams to have been a festive number one in the Premier League era?You have two minutes.

Eurosport’s new series ‘The Debate’ saw four writers make a case for four different rules they would changed in football before having their arguments picked apart in our new vodcast and podcast ‘Game of Opinions’. Smaller matchday squads brought home an embarrassingly low 8. However, the winner, which no one argued for after Pete Sharland changed his opinion, was stop-clocks.

In my opinion there is small quality difference between these two teams so anything can happen. Deportivo Ocotal u20 is actually the favorite for the win in this game, despite the act they are 5 points behind the guests Walter Ferretti u20. Maybe the home field advantage will have huge factor in the outcome of this match, however I must say Walter Ferretti u20 have been the better team so far.

New technology means they can do squad sessions on exercise bikes and work on gym mats in an effort to maintain fitness even though, essentially, they are stuck at home virtually all day like everyone else in the country. Crucially though, Brighton are also using a psychologist. The Seagulls took the decision to keep all their players in the UK rather than let them fly home - and Potter feels looking after their mental wellbeing is hugely important at the present time.
Pep Guardiola might well be facing the toughest challenge of his managerial career. In the top-flight seasons in which Guardiola has won titles across Europe's major leagues, he has never had to overcome a gap as large as 11 points - the current margin between leaders Liverpool and his Manchester City side, the defending champions. City twice led at Newcastle before being forced to settle for a 2-2 draw in the early kick-off, before Liverpool overcame a nervy finish - which included a red card to goalkeeper Alisson for handball - to edge past mid-table Brighton on a dramatic day of action.
At the other end of the table, Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich will look to protect their one-point advantage with a win at strugglers Cologne. The Bavarians, on 43 points, are eager to bounce back from last week's goalless draw against RB Leipzig, who are second and host relegation-threatened Werder Bremen.

All things considered, backing a draw looks by far the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned in this one and is something we're more than happy to do. Newport's last two home games have ended 1-1 and with 3 of Cheltenham's last 4 outings having ended the same way, it's a scoreline that looks very likely to appear once again on Wednesday.

AC Ajaccio is having a fine season and remain in the play-off places for promotion at this moment despite losing two games in a row in the league but they were tough games for example at home against the current league leaders from Lens which they lost 2-1 and against 3rd placed Troyes on the road last round also scored but once more conceded 2 goals and lost the game with 2-1, and 2-1 was the score with which they were beaten last season in the league by Grenoble as well.
Let's get started by recapping a few of the top stories on this subject. Manchester City have issued a statement criticising Kyle Walker following newspaper reports that the England star had a sex party during lockdown Wayne Rooney believes Premier League footballers have been made out to be "scapegoats" by UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock and the Premier League Wayne Rooney 'told off by police for breaking coronavirus lockdown rules by meeting friend Kyle Walker' Reminders from the papers that Aston Villa star Jack Grealish also had to issue an apology for ignoring his own social distancing advice First to recap Rooney's quotes over the weekend to provide balance from the negative reports on footballers in the tabloids.

Meanwhile BW Linz have 6W, 5D and 10L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
And several of their results to date suggest that Txuri-urdinak are likely to come up short this weekend. Whilst Imanol Alguacil's men have largely take care of mid / lower table opposition, they have lost to 2nd placed Real Madrid (3-1), 3rd placed Sevilla (3-2), 5th placed Getafe (1-2) and 6th placed Athletic Bilbao (2-0).
Isloch 2 started the new season with two home defeats, but since then have been really impressive winning for example 4-0 at home with a really decent Slutsk 2 side which I watched last round making life hard to the league leaders from Dinamo Minsk 2 on the road and only losing 2-1 that encounter. Isloch 2 also won 3-0 at home with Slavia Mozyr 2 and also a 4-1 win at home against Vitebsk 2 so quite easy wins and big wins reason why I suggest even taking the -1.5 AH on the hosts in this encounter.
