A voice at the back of the room pipes up: "Why don’t we use monkeys to get across our message?" The room nods in agreement, any murmurings of discontent quickly stamped out. It’s signed off. Yep, it actually happened. As the race to the bottom reveals another basement within a basement, Serie A have sunk the bar even lower by using images of monkeys with painted faces on their ‘No To Racism’ posters.

From there, his influence will need to have made a significant impact as the Toffees start the new year at champions Man City before visiting neighbours and league leaders, Liverpool in the FA Cup. As for Arteta, he'll be well aware Arsenal have managed just one win in 13 matches in all competitions and will hope his presence and fresh ideas will spark a much-needed improvement.
The top two win automatic promotion to the Bundesliga and there’s also a seven-point gap to Stuttgart in third. Bielfeld have won 14 of their 26 league games with only two defeats.

Ian Baraclough remains the front-runner to replace Michael O'Neill as Northern Ireland senior manager. The Englishman was appointed by O'Neill as Under-21s boss and offers the continuity that the IFA is looking for. It is believed the representatives of the successful candidate were contacted on Friday to sort out terms and conditions of the contract. Baraclough is the favourite to pip the other four candidates, who are all from Northern Ireland, for the job.
They are in second place, a point behind Gent but they are already assured of a place in the last 32. Their opponents only have four points and have already been eliminated. Wolfsburg will win the group if they win this game and Gent fail to win at home against Oleksandriya. They are not in the best of form though with only two wins in their last 11 games.

LONDON, Dec 22 (Reuters) - When the final whistle blew on Sunday, jubilant Chelsea coach Frank Lampard ran to the visiting fans to throw his coat into the crowd in celebration, as if their 2-0 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur had been a cup final victory. For Lampard, it was not only his most significant league win in charge of Chelsea, against one of their biggest rivals, after a run of four defeats in five games.
EvertonDavid Downie - The Blue Room Podcast Where to start? There are several key positions where Carlo Ancelotti surely feels he needs to make quality additions to an average squad. Midfield is the most urgent area to address; none of Gylfi Sigurdsson, Morgan Schneiderlin, Tom Davies and Fabian Delph have really made a case for a long-term future under the Italian. There's not one player that stands out, even as a short-term answer - and that is the problem with recruiting in January.
Tottenham Hotspur have signed Netherlands forward Steven Bergwijn from PSV Eindhoven on a contract that will run until 2025. Bergwijn, 22, has played 16 times for PSV in the Dutch Eredivisie this season, scoring five goals. He bolsters Spurs boss Jose Mourinho's options in attack with England striker Harry Kane out with a long-term hamstring injury. Bergwijn came through the PSV ranks and made his first-team debut at 17.
Ancelotti, who has won three Champions League titles and league trophies in four countries, agreed a 4-1/2 year deal with Everton on Saturday. Shearer believes the Italian coach's man-management skills could help make a similar impact as Juergen Klopp and Pep Guardiola at Liverpool and Manchester City respectively.
Is he not the perfect person to speak out, though? The idea that he should be “influential in football but not in politics” would be wrong even if Klopp never spoke about things away from football, but he has done and indeed does. Perhaps he’s right that anything he says in a pre-game press conference would simply create a headline, but is that not a headline that we need? Who better than the most high-profile manager – and probably the most high-profile person full-stop – involved in the competition to highlight the obvious concerns about merrily playing football in a country like Qatar? Presumably Klopp wanted to keep the focus as much as possible on the football, as he prepares Liverpool to face Monterrey on Wednesday evening, but his response feels inadequate.
Dinamo Brest started slowly, after winning the title in the previous competition, and they already did not won two of three matches in the new competition. That could make the team weaker, in front of this hard duel, with another league favorite, and there is a chance for Soligorsk to make break in the first game of the semi finals.

You have to be around every character and person. Everyone feels things in different way. If you copy and paste, it is always bad. Guardiola against behind-closed-doors gamesManchester City v Arsenal - team news and statisticsArteta added that his fellow Spaniard is "braver than any other manager" because he does not compromise his approach to football.

Scoring is the best feeling in the world," he told Sky Sports. Two hundred games. The years fly by and you have to make the most of it. Kane on target as Spurs win to leave West Ham in troubleKane had last scored in December, before picking up a thigh injury that ruled him out for six months, and he now has 12 goals for the season. Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho added: "I am happy for him [Kane], he worked a lot and now there will be better headlines and a better feeling for him.
However, Christie was a doubt for those fixtures after undergoing groin surgery due to an injury sustained in the final Old Firm match of 2019. Celtic said in a statement last week they were "astonished" at the charge, which is deemed an "act of brutality", stating they would defend it "vigorously". The Scotland international had been booked for an earlier offence, but escaped punishment at the time from referee Kevin Clancy.
Spurs moved to their new 62,062-seater stadium in April after almost two seasons playing their home matches at Wembley but have struggled for consistency this term and were 14th in the table when Pochettino was dismissed. I gave the best of me to accomplish the objectives I was asked for in our first meeting," added Pochettino. He had begun his statement by saying: "I would like to thank [owner] Joe Lewis and [chairman] Daniel Levy for giving me the opportunity to be part of Tottenham Hotspur's history.
Hull is in 9th place with 39 points while Fulham is in 5th place with 42 points. In this moment Fulham is in Play Off for promotion and against a strong team like Hull I see them defending. Hull is making a good season until now and in 5 last matches in Championship they have 1 draw 1 lose and 3 wins. They won against Rotherham in FA Cup 2-3 while they were losing in first half 2-1. Fulham also won against Premier League side Aston Villa 2-1 in FA Cup. Both teams comes from a good moment now and I expect a strong match where I see the draw is the most possible outcome here.

Both Fulham and Derby are seeking to bounce back after bad outings in their previous two matches. Fulham are seeking to stay in the playoff bracket, while Derby hope to get into the top half as they push for another appearance in the playoffs. At home, Derby have done well, unlike in their away travails. They however meet a Fulham side that has been fairly good away from home. One factor though is that these sides have not been scoring a lot lately. Derby have scored less than two goals in six of their last nine Championship matches at home while Fulham have scored more than one goal in just two of the last 11 matches. We thus do not expect a plenty of goals here, and we will go for a 1-1 draw.
Arsenal braced for Aubameyang offers Arsenal expect to receive a bid for captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona before the transfer window closes, the Telegraph reports. Barca are seeking a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez and have made Aubameyang their top target.

SPAL is in 19th place with 12 points while Verona is in 12th place with 19 points. Verona seems to be more good at this moment but however they aren't safe. 5 points more than Brescia that is in 18th place isn't a safety situation and I think Verona will look for points here.
The way the Seagulls play out from the back is very nice - they look good, and they have clearly got some good players. But they can't get goals and they cannot beat teams, and that has left them in big trouble.

ArsenalIncluding qualifiers, Arsenal have progressed from all 17 of their European ties when winning the first leg away from home. Should the Gunners avoid defeat here, they'll have progressed from as many two-legged knockout ties in the past three seasons in the Europa League as they did in the Champions League between 2000-01 and 2016-17 (eight). Arsenal's Bukayo Saka has the most assists in the Europa League this season (excluding qualifiers) and is the first English player to assist five or more goals in a single campaign since the competition was rebranded.

Somewhat bizarrely, Ipswich have done much better away from home than they have at Portman Road this term. Tuesday's visitors are League 1's second-best away team in terms of points accumulated. They've not won any of their last four on the road, two of which they've lost, but after Saturday's confidence-boosting win, they may just fancy themselves to become the second team to win at Kassam in the space of four days.
But what we want is a new history," said the Hammers boss. Moyes, 57, returned for a second spell as manager of the club in December, replacing Manuel Pellegrini and signing an 18-month deal. However, while West Ham - who celebrated their 125th birthday on Monday - have won just three games in all competitions since then, the manager wants to revive their fortunes. I want the chance to make new history," he said.
We believe these values will be identifiable in the players.
