I spent most of the 70s trying to get some international recognition. My first cap was in 1975, then I got another in 1978. It was a bit of a challenge trying to get yourself noticed and I used to complain a bit to [club manager] Sir Alex Ferguson about it. It was a big game. The thing about Wembley in those days was that it was mostly Scotland fans that were there. Where they got the tickets from, who knows.

What's amazing is that he's signing for Liverpool right now when they're the best team in the world.

After all, this was campaign in which the manager died in the dressing room before qualification was clinched. His replacement was the greatest the game has ever seen. Three future national team bosses were on bibs and cones duty. The player-managers of two of Britain's biggest clubs were named in the squad. As, belatedly, was a striker from European Cup finalists Barcelona. And the Scottish FA president almost sparked a diplomatic incident by labelling opponents "scum".
The 30-year-old Nigerian agreed to take a pay cut to secure a loan move to Old Trafford from China's Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season on transfer deadline day last month. But he was forced to miss their training camp in Spain over fears he may not clear UK immigration on their return should border restrictions tighten due to the coronavirus epidemic, putting a doubt on his participation on Monday.
The playmaker, on loan from Real Madrid, missed over two months with a hamstring injury and has been on the bench of late but not yet played under Arteta, who took over in December after leaving his job as Manchester City's assistant head coach.

If you think back to the start of the 2019/20 Premier League season, many were expecting Sheffield United to struggle the most out of the newly promoted teams. After all, The Blades were on a low budget and were coming off the back of two promotions in three seasons. Meanwhile, Norwich had strolled to the Championship top spot and Aston Villa had spent over u00a3100 million on new players in the summer.
The strike duo of Griffiths and Odsonne Edouard exhibited promising link-up play within the first minute and Celtic's wing-backs - Forrest and the impressive Greg Taylor - pegged their counterparts back with relentless pressure. When they got hold of the ball, the quality of delivery was outstanding. By the time Ntcham's headed home inside six minutes from Forrest's cross - his 18th assist of the season - they had already had three shots, one of which Griffiths should have buried from a Taylor cross.

We decided collectively, that's the FA and the Premier League and the WSL and Women's Championship boards, that now isn't the right time but we will return to that topic at some point in the near future. The FA announced on Monday it was making extensive cuts to cover losses of about £300m caused by the pandemic. We want the women's game to be successful, which is why we are helping them and why we've engaged in those discussions with the FA about resuming responsibility for it," Masters added.
The most ridiculous goal you will see'It is one of the first things aspiring young footballers are taught: do not stop playing unless the referee blows the whistle. Former Sheffield United midfielder Michael Brown, co-commentating for BBC Radio 5 Live, felt the Blades made a mistake in assuming the goal would not count. The second Newcastle goal is the most ridiculous goal you will see," he said. You've got to play to the whistle.

They played to a 0-0 draw with Werder Bremen after falling 3-1 to Bayer Leverkusen. These recent results have dented their push for a top four finish with Leverkusen lurking closely.

The impact of this crisis may be beyond the worst nightmare," Burleanu said. Football will change, there'll be a complete reconstruction. Football will be totally different. I'm afraid that if we do not resume the championship at the latest in May, we will no longer find 14-16 professional clubs in the first two leagues.
Grealish, valued at £70 million by Villa, could be tempted with a move - especially if his boyhood club are relegated at the end of the season. Paper Round's view: This could be huge. It basically gives United a whole new-look midfield going into next season. Solskjaer's side completed the signing of Portuguese international Bruno Fernandes back in the January transfer window and if Grealish and Maddison were to join too, United's midfield options would be genuinely class.
Austria Wien will be giving them this game to score an under of 4.5 total goals as looking at the last games this two trips have meet together we can say that I they are not used of an over of 4.5 total goals and so this makes us to be very sure with this prediction

Spurs' finishing in the first 45 minutes was clinical - forward Son seeing his shot deflect in off James after wrong-footing Kasper Schmeichel, before England captain Kane showed his class. The striker, who recently passed 200 career goals, has tormented Leicester whenever he has played against them and took his tally to 16 in 14 games against the Foxes with a cool, left-footed finish and a brilliant second which curled precisely into the far post past the reach of Schmeichel.

Shearer: "The pass from Rooney inside his own half and then the ball came over his shoulder. He was having to watch it all the way but he has also timed his run to stay onside to perfection. He has caught that volley coming over his shoulder and pinged it past the goalkeeper without bouncing. Wright: "For him to catch it like he did, it is exceptional technique. Jack Wilshere: Arsenal 4-1 Norwich City (Premier League)19 October 2013 Jack Wilshere was the architect of a delicious opening goal against Norwich as he played a neat one-two with Santi Cazorla after picking up the ball deep inside his own half, before cleverly combining with Olivier Giroud and volleying in from close range.
There is still work to do though. Against Everton last week, I thought we were boring and rubbish to watch. I still don't feel like this is the United that we all know and want to see. But just as it will with Ole, it is going to take time for everyone to get the feel for each other on the pitch. I feel like next season we will hopefully be a better United. Right now, I am happy that Bruno has come in and I am excited about watching him progress and grow in the team - I want Rashford back from injury soon though.
Zidane said. I have said before, we need our fans with us. Talk, talk, talk, it's not necessary. He's a big part of the group and we are together.

Cardiff City will host Stoke City for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts have a real chance to get the positive result in this game. Cardiff is very average team in this season. They have highly variable results. However, Cardiff is really better team at home. Also, we have Stoke City who's is one of the main outsiders in this campaign. True, the visitors have the motivation to change their position. They have two consecutive victories. In any case, the visitors have a very difficult task. Also, Smoke are more vulnerable away from home. My pick - Cardiff City to win.

Feyenoord have a midweek Europa League match to negotiate before they can turn their attentions to Sunday’s clash with Zwolle in the Eredivisie but after winning their last two league games the hosts will be confident of securing all three points this weekend.

Walter Mazzarri parted ways with Torino earlier this week after a run of four consecutive defeats.

Oxford play nine games in February - on every Saturday and Tuesday (subject to the final date of the Newcastle game) so there are no free dates for their replay.
Reaction from around the Premier LeagueThe decision to allow City to play in Europe next season means it is normal service in terms of qualification for the Champions League and Europa League from the English top flight. The top four sides will qualify for the Champions League, while fifth and sixth place will progress into the Europa League. Had the ban remained in place, with City now guaranteed a top-four domestic finish, the team finishing fifth would have qualified for the Champions League and the seventh-placed team would have got a Europa League spot.
