For Bruce, a proud Geordie, this was his dream gig. But among the 33 managers to have managed 200 or more Premier League games in charge, his win percentage of 28. And he had previously managed Sunderland, which to the staunch Magpies fan was a big no-no. The disillusionment, all too apparent during the protests against the ownership before the Arsenal match, grew after the 3-1 loss at 'relegation rivals' Norwich.
Read the full story Raiola struggling to find Pogba a new club Paul Pogba’s agent is struggling to find the French midfielder a new club, according to a story in the Daily Star. Mino Raiola wants to broker a move for the 26-year-old World Cup winner away from Old Trafford, but few teams are impressed by his recent performances, injury record, or the fact that Manchester United want at least 100 million euros for the player.
I’ll be very proud to lead the team out tomorrow night but the pride I will have will come from the players playing to what they’re capable of. When you work with the players every day and you work with them for a number of years, when I stand on the touchline tomorrow night I’ll be immensely proud of the players who are taking to that pitch and I hope they go and play how I know they are capable of playing.
Any kind of positive result will do for Eibar this weekend to stop the rot, but that looks highly unlikely based on recent form and their overall away record this season.

Since their expulsion by the EFL the club, who were founded in 1885, have had two winding-up petitions over unpaid tax dismissed by the High Court.

David Silva, sorely missed by the champions in their recent defeat against Liverpool, highlighted his worth with a deft backheel to find Raheem Sterling, who curled in for his 14th goal this season. However, before City could assert their dominance the Magpies equalised through full-back Jetro Willems, who received a square pass from Miguel Almiron before calmly slotting past the Brazilian keeper.
Gicumbi will host Marines for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. Gicumbi have advantage at home stadium. I think, the hosts will try to make a positive result. Of course, they will have to invest a great effort in this game. Also, we have Marines who's is modest team in this league. The visitors are undefeated in their last 5 matches. However, they have less potential in attack. I think, they will pay attention on their defense. Maybe this is - draw.. My pick - Gicumbi to win.

The big test for Lee Johnson’s side will be to remain tough to beat. Last term saw them go on patchy streaks of form leaving them short of the top six.

With this the first of six games across 22 days, this is a make or break period for the Robins.

It's good to have Jose back, especially for you guys," said Solskjaer. Maybe for me as well because you can talk and write about everything else. Tottenham's trip to Old Trafford for a Premier League game on 4 December will provide an unavoidable link between Solskjaer and the man he replaced, initially on a temporary basis, in the middle of last season.

Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend says he once lost £46,000 in one night but being charged by the FA for betting "probably saved me as a human being". Townsend, 28, says a mixture of an addictive personality and boredom while on numerous loan spells away from Tottenham contributed to his gambling. In 2013, he was fined £18,000 and given a ban by the Football Association for breaching betting regulations.
Without being overly impressive at either end of the pitch, Gent have made themselves very tough to beat on the continent.

Liverpool will be glad they are away from home in the first leg of this Champions League last sixteen tie. Atletico will not need reminding what happened to Barcelona last season in this competition and may dread a second leg at Anfield. Liverpool are in good form of course but the big wins aren't coming, more a case of continually finding a way to get a win. Atletico aren't consistent but never that easy to beat or score lots of goals against. A bet on under 2.5 goals in this is the one to make.

The hosts haven’t had a stellar season, but they are also a side who use their own ground to cancel out a poor away record. That has left the Latics on a winless run after a mix of away trips and tough home games. Losses here to Swansea and Brentford are no great shame, while the Latics have won four times at their own ground this season. Against the top eight here Wigan have won once and lost three of their four clashes, but outside of those results, their home record is three wins and a draw.

At home Listen did not win the last 7/10 matches, did not win the last 4/5 matches.
