FA Cup: Man City or Chelsea on potential collision course with Arsenal

Be me. Lead a group of Wanderers through the frostland, happening upon the wreckage of a dreadnought and seeking coal to reignite its generator.Sports Betting Build housing but fail to do so quickly enough, causing many people to freeze to death. Gather materials at a quicker rate, supply food, and discover a seal colony. Do nothing with that information, leaving them be. Find out that there isn’t enough food to stockpile before the Whiteout arrives (and refuse to let the elderly voluntarily walk out into the frostland to conserve food for everyone). Restart, try again, restart again.

San Lorenzo drew first blood in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, while Santos and Gremio were held in their opening-leg matches.

Champions in 2014, San Lorenzo accounted for Lanus 2-0 in Wednesday s all-Argentinean clash thanks to a brace from Nicolas Blandi.

Welcoming Lanus to Estadio Pedro Bidegain, San Lorenzo took a lead into the half-time interval courtesy of Blandi.

Blandi opened the scoring in the 34th minute, weaving his way past Diego Braghieri before curling the ball beyond Lanus goalkeeper Esteban Andrada.

The 27-year-old doubled the lead six minutes into the second half, stepping up to convert his own penalty.

The Game Awards are less than a week away now, sports bettingwhich means the coming days will bring new details on some of the games we can expect to see featured at the event. Ahead of that, however, early whispers are suggesting that this year’s show will have particularly big announcements. 

VGC journalist Andy Robinson recently took to Twitter to suggest the same, stating that he was “expecting a VERY big Game Awards next week”. When asked if he was hinting at potential major announcements or merely guessing, Robinson wrote, “Definitely not a guess.”

Interestingly, The Verge’s Tom Warren seems to be corroborating the aforementioned claims. Quoting Robinson’…

Manchester United beat rivals Manchester City for the first time in five Premier League attempts with a stirring 4-2 comeback victory at Old Trafford.

City s title defence had crumbled heading into the match amid a run of five de

feats in seven matches across all competitions, but the champions briefly displayed their fluent best in the early stages Sergio Aguero s seventh goal in derbies after seven minutes the reward.

The direct, high-tempo approach United have found success with in recent weeks provided their route back into the match, with Ashley Young levelling before supplying the ammunition for Marouane Fellaini to give the hosts a 27th-minute lead.

Although Louis van Gaal s men were fortunate to be ahead at that stage, they proceeded to do…

Juventus will wait until a new head coach is appointed to discuss the possibility of an audacious attempt to re-sign Paul Pogba from Manchester United, says sporting director Fabio Paratici.

The Serie A champions are reported to have begun dialogue with the Red Devils over a deal for Pogba, who departed Turin to re-join United in August 2016 for a then world-record fee after winning four league titles and two Coppas Italia with Juve.

Pogba has often found his form at Old Trafford come under scrutiny and has been touted as a transfer target for Real Madrid, who are undergoing a close-season of rebuilding under Zinedine Zidane.

But the World Cup winner is said to be open to returning to Juve, with the Italian giants rumoured to be considering offering Paulo Dybala,…

Nice president Jean-Pierre Rivere has advised Italy head coach Gian Piero Ventura to recall controversial striker Mario Balotelli to his future squads.

Balotelli arrived at the Ligue 1 outfit in 2016 after failing to shine at Liverpool and has seven goals in 10 appearances this season. 

He is without an Italy cap since the 2014 World Cup, during which he scored the winner in a 2-1 victory against England.

Since then the fiery forward has endured a mixed club career with failed spells at Anfield and at San Siro with AC Milan, before finally settling in the south of France.

Rivere gave a glowing endorsement of the former Inter and Manchester City forward, even going as far as to saying he would call Ventura in support of his striker.

Gareth Bale is 100 per cent fit and ready to go for Wales at the World Cup in Qatar after battling injury issues.

The former Real Madrid winger s fitness had been a concern before Robert Page named his 26-man squad for Wales first appearance at the World Cup in 64 years.

Bale has only started twice for Los Angeles FC since joining from Madrid in July, managing just 370 minutes on the pitch.

However, he scored an extra-time equaliser as a substitute against Philadelphia Union in the MLS Cup final, which LAFC won on penalties on November 5.

Bale initially gave Wales reason to be concerned after the final as he said he felt not 100 per cent fit , but has since backtracked on those comments before travelling to the Middle East.

Referees’ chief Howard Webb says standards of behaviour in the English game have been “allowed to decline” over a period of many years and insists it is vital a new code of conduct is followed by everyone to address it.

Officials are being empowered to issue cards when confronted by two or more players in the season ahead, while players and coaches who seriously or repeatedly abuse referees could face increased financial penalties from the Football Association.

Webb, the chief refereeing officer at Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), says there has been a worldwide decline in referees entering the game, and that a collective effort from everyone involved in football to address poor behaviour is essential to tackling it.

Alan Pardew was delighted with his Crystal Palace players after they maintained their 100 per cent record under his guidance.

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew heaped praise on his players after they twice came from behind to defeat Southampton 3-2 in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

Pardew has won all four matches in charge since he took over from Neil Warnock earlier this month, and Palace have come from behind in each of their last three outings.

In an exciting first half which provided all of the game s goals, Southampton twice took the lead through Graziano Pelle and Scott Dann s own goal.

Marouane Chamakh and Yaya Sanogo found the net to cancel out those two goals, before Chamakh netted his second to give Palace the lead for the firs…
