It's fantastic - something he has always wanted to do. It dawns on the reporter that the lady being interviewed is in fact the mother of Villa boss Dean Smith. His dad would be so proud. He's got dementia and he's in a home and doesn't know him," continues Hilary. Have you got a message for Villa fans? "Thank you for supporting my son. You're absolutely brilliant. God bless you all. Hope we get there [to the Premier League].
IN OTHER NEWS Presumably New York City fans will be delighted to hear that their new manager is nearly – not actually, but nearly – moved to some sort of emotion after being appointed. Almost. Close enough. HEROES AND ZEROS Hero: Romelu Lukaku With just over half the season gone, Romelu Lukaku has already scored more goals for Inter than he did in the whole of last season for Manchester United.

As captain, not only did Gardner lead Scotland on the pitch, but also off it. At a time when managers were largely non-existent, he was tasked with selecting the team to face England. He would pick a starting line-up consisting of only Queen's Park players who would take to the pitch in navy blue, the same colour the Glasgow club sported at that time. And it is for that reason Scotland wear the same colours to this day.
Fulham winger Anthony Knockaert then struck the crossbar with a dipping half-volley from outside the area, but the result means the west Londoners' chances of a top-two finish in the Championship are almost over. West Brom, in second, are four points above third-placed Brentford having played a game more, while Fulham are five points below automatic promotion with two games to play. Follow Tuesday's EFL live text coverageBaggies edge closer to Premier League returnWest Brom went into the game needing seven points from their final three fixtures to secure promotion to the Premier League, while Fulham realistically needed victory in the West Midlands to stay in the hunt for a top-two finish.
The verdict - who will make it?Sutton: "You cannot look at the run-in for any of these sides and say they have easier or harder fixtures than their rivals because most of them have dropped points in unexpected places this season. The only thing consistent about all of these teams from fourth down to 11th - and even if you wanted to chuck in 12th-placed Southampton as well - is their inconsistency. Media playback is not supported on this device Manchester United 3-0 Watford: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer pleased with 'really good' week "It feels like they can drop points at any moment, whoever the opposition are, and Chelsea are a very good example of that.

Kasimpasa defeated Kayserispor at home with an impressive 5-1 last Sunday. Three series unbeaten racing that remains within the danger zone but now looks visibly improved and capable of earning its place.
What we have at the moment is rows of empty galleries. Seats everywhere but with nobody in them. You can cover them up by draping banners with witty slogans over them, but when there are no fans demanding blood, sweat and tears from their heroes one minute, and then worshipping the ground they walk on after someone's hit the most glorious winner the next, it is not the same. Those things breathe life into the gladiators in the arena.
Read the full story Championship clubs battle for Brewster A number of Championship clubs have enquired about the loan availability of Liverpool youngster Rhian Brewster ahead of the January transfer window. According to the Times, numerous sides - including Leeds United, Swansea City, Blackburn Rovers and Wigan Athletic - have made contact with the Premier League leaders over the 19-year-old.
There are serious concerns for a Bristol City side who have failed to win 62% of their home games so far. Even with history backing them up, there are concerns that the hosts will drop more points. The Robins have put together a solid run against Huddersfield which has seen them score in the last six meetings between the pair.
This season's failure, however, means there are likely to be a flood of departures, as the cream of a talented squad are picked up by bigger clubs. Midfielder Hakim Ziyech's move to Chelsea next season is already confirmed. ATTRACTIVE PROPOSITION "It is difficult to keep the squad intact because Ajax players are always an attractive proposition,” said sports director Marc Overmars last month.
This time it would me my choice whether I stayed on, not the club's. It all sounded great, but there was a bit of confusion over whether the move could go through. Because I had played for City in the Community Shield in August before I joined Fiorentina, it was not clear whether I could play for a third team in the same season. That is what Mancini told me, anyway, when they were trying to get the deal done.

Between late December and March, the country was hit by 20-foot snow drifts, with rivers and lakes freezing as a result of temperatures that reached as low as -20C. Inevitably, sport took a hit with both rugby codes and National Hunt racing suffering, while football saw fixtures postponed en masse. The FA Cup was particularly badly affected. The third round, which began on 5 January, would not conclude until 11 March - 66 days later - and there were 261 postponements with 16 ties called off at least 10 times.

Real Esteli u20 is very strong team, especially when they are playing at home. Real Esteli u20 is ranked 2nd place in the league with 25 points won and goal record of 30:15. The guests, Juventus Managua u20 are 5th place, which is not very bad considering they are only 5 points behind Real Esteli u20. However they scored only 18 goals and allowed 16.
So far so good but, given future events on and off the field at Spurs, the sentences that followed can now be viewed as hugely significant. Pochettino said: "We need to start to think about the new chapter, the new era, to ensure Tottenham is a real contender for the big things. With our training ground, this stadium you must think big. We have to behave like a big club. And, for a few months, it seemed like everyone at Spurs was on the same page.
Tanguy Ndombele, it was devastating and brutal. But it also felt like a diversionary tactic after another game Spurs had failed to win. It is now five matches since they last tasted victory, their worst run since the autumn of 2016. Unless they go to Germany and overturn RB Leipzig's one-goal advantage in their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday, it will be another campaign without a trophy. It will also be only the third time since 2003 that Tottenham will have ended the season without reaching the quarter-final of a cup competition.
While the hosts are riding the new manager bounce at the moment, we think that it is a bubble which we expect to pop this weekend. The hosts have improved dramatically, but they still have plenty of issues to address and this weekend’s visitors are at the top of their game and should expose their deficiencies. With this in mind, backing an away win looks to be the way to go.
Middlesbrough moved out of the Championship relegation zone after two second-half goals gave Neil Warnock's side victory at play-off hopefuls Millwall. Ashley Fletcher raced away from the Lions defence and teed up Britt Assombalonga for a tap-in to open the scoring midway through the second period. The hosts claimed a foul in the build-up, arguing Fletcher had tripped centre-back Jake Cooper while chasing a ball forward, but referee Tim Robinson waved play on.
I miss being on grass and the one-on-one with players but the biggest priority at the minute is that they keep safe and well. We may have a smallish window before an intense period of games'McKenna, who is a former Northern Ireland Under-21 international from Fermanagh, joined Tottenham as a teenager but was forced to retire from playing when he was 23, because of a persistent hip injury. He took coaching badges at Tottenham and was put in charge of their Under-18 side in 2015 before joining Manchester United the following year.
Isloch Reserves have 9 points at the moment. They started the season with two defeats, from Neman Grodno and Smolevichi. However, Isloch Reserves have improved in the next period. They managed to obtain 3 wins, mostly thanks to their impressive attack that has scored 11 in the mentioned 3 games. They beat Slutsk, Brest and Slavia Mozyr. However, I think their series will come to their end. Vitebsk Reserves are also in good form. They are in mini series of two unbeaten games. In the last round Vitebsk won 2:1 against Brest Reserves. The players confidence is higher and this fact should not be underestimated. Vitebsk have combined five goals in the latest two matches and I think they will stay unbeaten here.
When the ball was played into Odsonne Edouard, three Hearts men - Loic Damour, Craig Halkett and Christophe Berra - went to him. Bad idea. Edouard back-heeled it and took out the three of them. James Forrest wanted to get on the end of the loose ball but it broke instead for Christie, who drove it low past Joel Pereira. What a goal machine Christie has become for the champions. The midfielder, as classy as he is consistent, has practically scored a goal in every other game this season across all competitions.
Middlesbrough will host Nottingham Forest for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent in this season. Nottingham are more ambitious team in this campaign. True, the visitors have big fluctuations. In last game Nottingham is won 0-1 against Cardiff. Also, we have Middlesbrough who's is not very good team in this season. Middlesbrough is team of relegation zone. Of course, the hosts have a very difficult challenge in this game. In any case, they will in this match seek their chance. They want to move from the bottom of the table. My pick - Middlesbrough to win.
Well one of the reasons to take Juventus to win this one by a couple of goals difference is that except to losing twice to Lazio once in the league and once in the Super Cup, they have started scoring more goals and winning games bigger in the league, winning 4-0 at home with Cagliari and also at home they had the lead 3-0 with Udinese and it ended 3-1 in the end, but this week they hosted once more Udinese in the Cup and beat them 4-0 this time, while last round in the league they won away at tough AS Roma with 2-1 in the end.
Istanbul Basaksehir Having lost 5 matches since the start of the season in the Turkish league and brought about 17 victories, at this time no one can doubt the Istanbul's ability to win. Overcoming all doubts before the start of the 2019/20 season, strategist Okan Buruk has confirmed his level in this season, and now he and his students can completely think about the performance. Go straight to the group stage in the UEFA Champions League arena next season even though the Turkish league still has 6 rounds to finish. Undefeated in the last 6/7 rounds (including 3 victories), maybe not many Galatasaray fans must feel regret because just maintaining the current form since the beginning of the season, the position in the match. The Turkish league arena is probably very different for the defending champions.
They are in the March play-offs, away to Bosnia-Herzegovina in the semi-finals and at home to the Republic of Ireland or Slovakia in the final - if they beat the Bosnians first. The winners of those play-offs will be in Group E with Spain. Two of their group games will be in Dublin, with the game against Spain in Bilbao. The most difficult group for Northern Ireland (or the Republic) would see them in with Spain, France and Portugal.
