Middlesbrough fought back against Stoke City to earn a third straight home win and move six points clear of the Potters and the Championship relegation zone. A dull match came to life in a vibrant second half, triggered by Sam Clucas' opening goal on the rebound for Stoke. Boro struck back quickly through Ashley Fletcher's header from Jonny Howson's ball over the top, and 14 minutes later Lewis Wing lashed in powerfully from 25 yards to inflict a fourth defeat in six games on the visitors.
Johnson threatened to pull the club out of Europe the following season because of Uefa's choice of venue for the final, and complained they had lost money on the tie because of the small crowd. That is typical of the old directors' view of looking at it," said Lee, who had a place in the boardroom himself when he was City's chairman between 1994 and 1998. I don't think it mattered if you lost money or made money - we won the trophy, which was an important trophy in Europe, and it made a big difference to the reputation of the club.

That period is set to expire late on Monday night, meaning in theory that the club could return to training on Tuesday.

Torino aren’t looking capable of a major upset here. Il Toro have had some big problems this term. Their European adventure ended with a whimper, while they have won once in their last seven matches.

On Monday they face off against a Villa side with just two wins from their six home games this season, and just one of these matches has been against a team in the top eight of the table.

We think backing a Newcastle Win or Draw Double Chance is an excellent offering here.

Of those passes, 20 were in the Hornets half, but he maintained the same accuracy with those ballsCrouch: "Pogba has got great vision, but it is the effect he has on his team-mates that means he is such a dangerous weapon.

I know what it's like as a striker when the pass does not come - I remember being in teams with players who never tried it.
IMO, the power of Hearts as a squad is not present the expected results so far in Scotland Premiership.

Hosts are playing recently way better, managing run from 5 straight undefeated matches in a row, scoring 10 goals on the last 4 matches. Tonight, facing vs the middle-placed team of Kilmarnock, hosts will be able to force for a 3 pts game. Visitors despite the last win vs Ross County by 3-1, have lost the last 7 straight domestic league games. Kilmarnock defeats are showing defensive problems as well. But tonight, they are coming aware that vs Hearts, they can try to do something better.
When you have won the Champions League three times as a manager, your words carry weight. Since Carlo Ancelotti's first game as Everton manager in December, only Premier League leaders Liverpool have earned more points than their city rivals. Yet the upsurge in form - their 17 points in that period putting them within touching distance of a Europa League place after a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace - has come courtesy of the Italian's reassuring calmness rather than any sweeping changes.
The 60-year-old's first match in charge will be the home game against Burnley on 26 December. Live reaction: Ancelotti appointed Everton boss"This is a great club with a rich history and a very passionate fanbase," added former AC Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris St-Germain boss Ancelotti. There is a clear vision from the owner and the board to deliver trophies. That is something that appeals to me as a manager.

Abraham, 22, travelled to Barcelona for advice after pulling up during the warm-down following Tuesday's Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich.

The match of two teams that took up their heads in time and began a sharp rise in the standings. Now “Emmen” and “Venlo” are outside the relegation zone, but it is too early to relax. Not too great is the points advantage for them. Particularly distinguished guests. “Venlo” no longer loses seven consecutive matches in the Eredivisie, although some of the rivals were very, very strong. But Hans de Coning managed to establish the game of the guests on the defensive. Over the past seven rounds, guests scored more points than for the entire first round of the championship. If this goes on, then “Venlo” may take a place in the top 10. “Emmen” also performs well in the second round, but recently began to take. But in all matches, the home team do not give much freedom to opponents. Even after this tour, Emmen has every chance of returning to the relegation zone.
