I loved boxing, was brought up with it and had trained in it since I was a teenager. I did go on to present boxing - I was even the first woman globally to host a heavyweight world title fight. There is a lot of this unconscious bias in the industry. The male must know what they are doing, the female must be there to make up the numbers," seems to be the message. It's rarely the public I got most of the sexist comments from, it was people within the industry at a senior level who are very good at box-ticking, but internally harbour gender bias.
Seriously injured, he has the last rites administered twice in hospital. It was a terrible experience and I remember my feelings when I did come to a bit of sanity and realised the situation. The last thing I thought at the time was that I would ever be associated with football again. Jane [his wife] said 'Football is your life, you've got to face it. You've got it in your mind and these boys would probably want it'.
I still think the Gunners have improved under Arteta, though. This is a decent test of the progress both managers have made, and it is a tough call to say who will win it because both teams still have flaws. Media playback is not supported on this device Arsenal 4-0 Newcastle: Arteta 'pleased' with Gunners reaction following winter break But Arsenal ended up winning very comfortably at home against Newcastle last weekend and the fact they are back at the Emirates again makes them favourites for me.
The hosts are up to seventh in the table, only two spots behind Roma as things stand. That has put them on course for Europe in the league, but Parma could make a real push for this competition, as they dream of rolling back the years to their glory days which saw them win this competition three times between 1992 and 2002.
Smaller club asks authorities to be able to make an emergency signing of their own. Smaller club told their stinker - entirely not of their own incompetence - is a tough spot but they won't be able to sign an emergency forward. Smaller club, quite incandescent with rage, and rightly so: " We are facing unfair regulations, which threatens the integrity of the competition and the right of all clubs to compete on equal terms, and that has caused huge and serious damage to the club.
Pogba demonstrated the difference he can make when introduced as a 63rd minute substitute, if not exactly transforming a previously listless United then at least giving them impetus, threat and drive. These games may be played in front of 300 people or even less in the remaining weeks of this season but the stakes are high amid the eerie silence. They certainly were here for both United and Spurs. Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes played the last 30 minutes of the game against Tottenham together in midfieldIf Pogba can repeat what he showed on Friday night, dismissing the persistent transfer talk and outside criticism, then he can be a pivotal figure in these closing weeks, especially in tandem with the club's new golden boy Fernandes.
Whenever the decision is taken that it's safe to resume, we currently estimate that the League will require approximately 56 days to complete the outstanding matches in the season (including playoffs)," EFL chairman Parry was quoted as saying in a letter published on The Daily Mail website. The EFL Board is currently working on the basis that the end-of-season playoffs will take place across all three divisions as normal.
Bayern Munich have scored 13 goals in their last four home league games. Padeborn have conceded 47 league goals this season. Only Dortmund have scored more home league goals than Bayern Munich this season. Bayern Munich can go four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga if winning this game. The league leaders host Padeborn who are languishing at the bottom of the table, six points from safety.
Watford have shown a lot of improvement in recent weeks and surviving relegation is definitely on the cards. They have started winning home games and scoring more goals. Wolves are difficult to beat and rarely fail to score on their travels but also concede regularly. A bet on both teams to score looks to be a winner for this match.

Managua is at the top of the table with 30 points and has many opportunities to defend his championship. However, with the last two matches being held draw, the top position of teachers and teachers Emilio Aburto is wavering more or less and if the second team plays well, they will probably lose the top spot. Managua couldn't wait for the opponent to come, so their mission was to return to victory immediately in this round. Deportivo Ocotal is not a difficult challenge for the home team and it is very likely that Managua will not be very difficult to win. Deportivo Ocotal are ranked 9th in the rankings but they have been caught up by the 10th team in terms of scores. This team's recent form is very poor as they lost four and drew one in the last five rounds. If the results are not improved, it is very easy to fall to the bottom of the table.
Inter have home advantage in the first leg of this Italian Cup semi-final so will be all out to get a lead. They remain in top form and just keep on strengthening their squad. Home form is strong and they are unbeaten in ten games. Since October, their only two losses have been in the Champions League. Napoli have had a disappointing season and lost to Lecce at the weekend. Inter can be backed to get a win here.
Heracles is a strong home team and an average away side so in their last 5 home games they scored a lot of goals, 6 goals alone against Venlo in a 6-1 win several times 4 goals scored by them as well at home winning all those last 5 home games for them while last season they also scored 4 goals at home against Den Haag the scored being 3-2 for them by half-time of the game and 2-0 for them by the 7th minute of the game as they went on and won it 4-2 in the end with both teams having close to 20 shots in that fixture.
Last season's Champions League semi-finalists Ajax crashed out of this season's Europa League as Getafe wrapped up a 3-2 aggregate win in Amsterdam. Getafe stretched their aggregate lead through Jaime Mata in the fifth minute and although the hosts came back to lead on the night thanks to goals from Danilo and Carel Eiting, the Spaniards held on to record a famous victory.
Reading un23 will be in the field with Middlesbrough un23 and this game we have given a prediction of over 2.5 total goals as this two team have being recording o er of 2.5 total goals in the last meeting and so this makes us to be very sure that even on this game this trend will continue

This time the unlikely hero was two-goal midfielder Casemiro. That win temporarily took Madrid top of La Liga ahead of rivals Barca, who then got the Quique Setien era off to a winning start against Granada. While the possession-based style of football was markedly different from that of previous coach Ernesto Valverde, the identity of the goalscorer was not: Lionel Messi netting the only goal in a 1-0 victory.
This will be the second game which will be played between these two teams under a month. Both teams are from Sweden but form very different division. The host are from the Allsvenskan which is the top division in this league while the guest are from the superettan the second division. Kalmar won the last meeting between these two sides at the start of the month 5-0 when they met at the Svenska cup. Guest are coming from a defeat in their last game to hacken by 6-1. I think there will be goals in this game and so I fancy over 2.5

There will also be extra precautions for players at training, including wearing protective equipment and not showering or eating on premises.
Another under 3,5 goals on the horizon, the last match at Armenia finished 1 x 2 actually, a defeat. This year they are performing much better though. They will most likely ascend to the main Bundesliga next year. I don't think we will see Osnabruck scoring here as Armenia is very strong not conceding at home this season, only 10 goals so far conceded at home. And on the other side we have Osnabruck scoring only 14 goals away. In the first round at Osnabruck we saw a narrow win for Armenia 0 x 1. We will see a 2 x 0 here this time

Arsenal can’t afford to dally, to pussyfoot around or give Freddie Ljungberg a chance. He may be a favourite with Arsenal fans as a player but to manage Arsenal you need a bit more about you and a bit more experience. There are good managers out there. Go after somebody. Be proactive. Welcome to a new week It's Monday morning but there's still one instalment of the weekend's Premier League action, a huge London derby at the London Stadium as beleaguered Arsenal take on beleaguered West Ham.
Real Madrid sustained a shock defeat at Real Betis to hand the initiative to Barcelona in the La Liga title race. Barca had beaten Real Sociedad 1-0 on Saturday to go two points clear and Zinedine Zidane's side were unable to respond with a victory of their own. They fell behind to Sidnei's stunning strike into the top corner, but levelled via Karim Benzema's penalty. Ex-Barcelona forward Cristian Tello was Betis' match winner, stroking in on 82 minutes.

Klopp said Alexander-Arnold's crossing, which also led to a penalty against Leicester, was exceptional but he batted away questions on whether the right back was the best player in the world in that position. I'm not too interested, to be honest. We're not looking for one, let me say it like this," Klopp added.
Ings curled home the opener from 20 yards following Will Smallbone's pass. And he blasted home a second - his 18th Premier League goal of the season - after controlling Ben Foster's poor throw before surging towards the box.

The goals he scores, I don't know what it is but he hits the ball so cleanly," Hargreaves told BT Sport. I love watching him finish because he makes it easy. A natural. He has the perfect role model in Marcus Rashford, just model yourself off him. For his age, at 18, I think he is an incredible natural finisher. He will be a star, no question. Ex-Manchester United striker Michael Owen says Greenwood has the potential to be a top player for many years - as long as he doesn't let his rapid development go to his head.
The hosts are a top club in Turkey with big fan base even though last season was very poor for them even in trouble with avoiding relegation late in the league fact is they have not only some of the best players in the league but their 2nd starting line-up is not that bad either watching striker Erdinc scoring two lovely goals away at this opponent in the first leg a game which Fender also started with their reserve side, and really their opponents did not have a single shot on target in that one as Fender also had a 4th goal disallowed, so they can think of the next round already.
However, with the hosts in fine form and fresh from the international break, we're backing PSG to get the win. The capital club have scored 25 goals in their eight home matches this season, so we're backing them to win 3-1. Lille have conceded six goals in their last two away days so this is the scoreline we're predicting for this one.
Vikingur will against NSI in match Faroe Islands Meistaradeildin League. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 3 goals due to Vikingur on last 2 match in league can make total score is 5 goals. Meanwhile, NSI on last 2 match in league can make total score is 6 goals. Therefore, I think both teams can make much score on this match. Moreover NSI always can make score on last 2 match. Likewise Vikingur can make 5 goals on last match. Moreover both teams have yet lose on last 2 match and surely this match will tight from both teams.
Depay probably didn't enjoy his time in the Premier League, but a potential return could allow him to prove his haters wrong.
