Almost. Newcastle owner Mike AshleyPA Sport Ashley crashed back into the national consciousness this week with an audacious bid to keep Sports Direct open through the government-mandated lockdown on non-essential businesses. Apparently a nation unable to get its hands on multipacks of white socks and giant novelty mugs is a nation unable to function.

PSV have won six times at home this season and Zwolle have lost seven times on the road, with the host averaging 2.38 points per home game and the visitors averaging 0.67 points per away game. PSV score an average of 2.88 goals per home game and Zwolle concede an average of 2.00 goals per away game, which ties in well with our prediction for a 2-0 home win this weekend.
Everton's caretaker-manager Duncan Ferguson wants Goodison Park to be a "bear pit" for Wednesday's Carabao Cup quarter-final against Leicester City. Ferguson's passion has been a key feature since he took over after Marco Silva's dismissal earlier in December. The Scot hopes to recreate the atmosphere that helped Everton beat Chelsea 3-1 in his first match as boss. That atmosphere at the ground was incredible.
Famalicao have only three points from their last six league fixtures. Famalicao have only one win from their last seven home league matches. Sporting Lisbon have seven points from their last three league games. Famalicao are sixth in the Portuguese Primeira League and still in with a chance of qualifying for European football next season.
Every forward would be a bit worse off but Alan Shearer's all-time Premier League goals record would be closer to 200 than its current tally of 260. Gareth Barry's all-time appearance record would potentially be 180 games lighter than its current number of 653. Spare a thought for Kevin Phillips, who would no longer be the only Englishman to win the European golden shoe, having only scored a still admittedly healthy 25 goals in 1999-00.
At the bottom, the big storyline is whether Espanyol can escape the drop. The rock-bottom Barcelona-based club have spent 85 of La Liga's 89 seasons in the top flight, but they are currently six points from safety and on their third manager of the season (former Barca defender Abelardo) after winning four games out of 27. Five other teams are in danger, including Ronaldo-owned Real Valladolid, but Espanyol's demise - a year after they qualified for Europe - will take some avoiding.

We want to improve and ensure that everything we coach is seen out on the pitch," he said. We know the route we want to take and why we want to take it. There are things we'd like to see right now but we can't see them. But we've only had a few training sessions together and you need to be backed up by what you see in games, but it's still very early in the process for that.
Bielsa has them punching well above their weight yet some fans have jumped on the #BielsaOut bandwagon. That is their wont, but what do these characters expect? Bielsa has set unrealistic expectations and hunger for immediate success has blinded some fans to that. Basically, fans want this guy gone for being too successful.
Despite avoiding defeat in their past four group stage outings, Shakhtar have struggled to close the door on opponents, settling for draws in each of their past three matches, capped by a crucial 1-1 draw with first-place Manchester City last time out on November 26. However, the Miners’ lone victory so far in the group stage came in their visit to Atalanta back on October 1, a 2-1 comeback victory sealed with a goal in the 90th minute from midfielder Manor Solomon.
Danny Murphy: I heave heard people say how it should not impact on two seasons, but I don't agree with that. You have to prioritise what is most important and, here, it is our professional leagues. Let's look after league football first. If we have to lose the cup competitions or European football next season, then so be it. But let's face it - if we are talking about September or later for when football comes back, then that would mean we have got horrendous issues in our country.
Santander has 29 points. Their league survival hope is gone. Tenerife will have a good chance of winning today because it is fighting for survival, it has 40 points, which is 3 more than the survival zone, and I think the guest will have the strength to reach the 3 points today. The home team is nailed to the bottom of the table while the guests are in a good situation, and by winning this match, they would practically ensure their survival. They will hardly have a better chance than that. However, they miss some important players today and Tenerife are not a bad team, but have had trouble finding the net in the previous rounds.
It has not been a long time since Druids promoted to the first league level in Wales really, but here they are now with good chances of finishing the season inside the top 6 places and avoid the relegation group but for that to happen they really need to win all 3 points here, but it is a really easy game for them having earlier won on the road at Penybont as well this season and the guests are not a great away side either.
One idea being pushed forward again is to promote current Championship top two Leeds and West Brom, not relegate anyone from the top flight and go with a 22-team competition, which would increase the number of TV games and potentially avoid the need to repay this season's broadcast money. However, that would create a problem for the Football League as it would lead to an imbalance in their numbers.

La Liga side Athletic's goalkeeper Iago Herrerin was sent off in the second minute for fouling Shaquell Moore and the hosts took the lead when Joselu slotted home from the penalty spot six minutes later. Inaki Williams hit back for the Basques but Joselu netted again after 21 minutes. Athletic striker Williams scored his second early in the second half to level the tie and Tenerife's Carlos Ruiz was sent off early in extra time to leave both teams a man short.

Scoring the winner in London, top scorer Timo Werner ended his own five-game goal drought in all competitions. I had not scored in the last few games and I had also missed some chances before the penalty," Werner said. That did not make the penalty any easier but I really wanted to take it and I stayed calm.
Neither of these two sides can be considered experts in the art of defending. The hosts are the opposite, as Luton have faced more shots (408) and conceded more goals (56) than any other Championship team this season. They are without a clean sheet in 14, having conceded 2.1 goals per game this term. The hosts have shipped three or more in each of their last four, so the problem isn’t getting better.

Villa's second win in three games sets up a dramatic final day at the bottom of the table on Sunday, which Villa will begin level on points with Watford and three points ahead of Bournemouth - with two of those three teams likely to go down. Meanwhile, 16th-placed West Ham, who also play on Wednesday, still require one point to secure safety, although their goal difference ought to keep them up. A 10th league defeat means Arsenal, playing in their first match since reaching the FA Cup final, will finish outside the top six for the first time in 25 years.
An expected points table by Understat - a site dedicated to expected goals stats - has them seventh as opposed to 17th. The Reds also have a couple of key players missing, with influential midfielder Fabinho injured and first-choice goalkeeper Alisson suspended following his sending off against Brighton at the weekend, meaning keeper Adrian is likely to be thrust into his first Merseyside derby.

Gillingham is in 11th place with 32 points while Portsmouth is in 9th place with 34 points. Both teams are fighting for promotion playoffs. Portsmouth seems to be more good and more advanced than Gillingham however today I expect a balanced game. Both teams wants to win but of course they don't want to lose because one lose can create a gap between them and teams in play off places. Both teams have qualities and Gillingham is in a great form in home matches until now with 6 matches without lose. It's a strong match with teams that are good so I expect a draw here.
City director of football Txiki Begiristain has said he is expecting a "strange" transfer window given the campaign will not end completely until the end of August, with the new one starting three weeks later on 12 September. We have to be ready," he told City's official website. We have less time than ever, so people will have to move fast. We still have the Champions League, so we have to wait to move forward.
In the betting, 'Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score' stands out as a viable option. It's been a while since either team failed to score in the league, nearly two months to be exact, while both have posted encouraging attacking figures in their respective home and away games. Doncaster have scored an average of 1.5 at home, while they also rank as the third-best team in terms of shots on target at home, averaging a pleasing 5.07. When it comes to shots for, they're League 1's best home team, averaging 15.14. On the road, Coventry average 1.64 goals for, as well as 5.45 shots for, which makes them the best team in the league in that respect. Throw in that both teams have scored in 64% of Donny's game at Keepmoat, as well as in each of Coventry's last five on the road, four of which have seen three or more goals go in, and supporting a high-scoring games becomes the way to go.
The venue will remain the same as Coventry are currently tenants of St. Andrew's. It was clear to see which team the ground belonged to in the opening exchanges of that goalless stalemate. Championship side Birmingham created more openings than their League One counterparts, with Lukas Jutkiewicz getting the best opportunities.
We went out on the Tuesday night to a Chinese restaurant called the Amber Regent, one of our favourite haunts. We had a few glasses of wine, put the Dunfermline game to bed as a group and cracked on with training on the Thursday. It was something we all felt we needed to do. Whether it was advisable ahead of a game of that magnitude, I'm not so sure, but it didn't affect us on the Saturday. Brattbakk adds: "It was a nervy week because the hype was unbelievable by then.
Following the 0-0 draw that this pair played out at Spotland, Boston manager Craig Elliot stated that he wasn't overly pleased with the result, despite his side holding League One opposition away from home. On reflection, it's not too difficult to see what the sixth-tier boss meant. His side bettered their hosts in terms of both shots and shots on target and had some good scoring chances, had one of them been taken, Boston would be in the third round already.
It (injury list) has been added to with Sakho pulling his hamstring against Norwich so he's going to be missing for a considerable period of time," Hodgson told a news conference. Cahill has done his first training session today which is positive, so maybe it's one in, one out in terms of training. Hodgson said forward Wilfried Zaha would miss out due to a knock that he sustained against Norwich.
