Van Basten apologised later in the programme while Fox said in a statement on Monday that the comment was "stupid and inappropriate" and that it had suspended the three-times Ballon d'Or winner until December 7. The channel added that Van Basten's wages for the week would be donated to the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation.
They've had a lot of time without winning so we have to be passionate with a clear focus. It'll not be overnight but we have to be patient. I'm sure we're going to improve quickly. Ancelotti confirmed Ferguson would stay on in his coaching staff because he was familiar with the players, saying he had done the same at Paris St Germain with Claude Makelele and Real Madrid with Zinedine Zidane.
The point means Sheffield United stay above Sunday's opponents - as well as Arsenal and Tottenham - in the table with more than one-third of the season gone. Only eight teams promoted to the Premier League have secured more points than Sheffield United after the first 13 games, but Wilder is refusing to get carried away. Perhaps he remembers the 2008-2009 season, when Hull City claimed 21 points from their first 13 games before managing just 14 more from the next 25.
Emirates and Etihad Airlines, Amex, Vitality and King Power have spent huge sums for Premier League teams to play in stadiums named after them. Sponsors pay for their names to be placed on LCD advertising boards. Clubs don't want to be negotiating rebates. Discussions with the authorities are on going. What are the safety concerns around playing behind closed doors?The Premier League and its clubs have stressed, repeatedly, that they will only return when it is safe to do so - and have assured everyone they will not take resource away from the NHS.

They might have done it. I went straight from London to the King Power after calling my dad, live on air. There were tears cleaning the London dust off my shoes. There were about 5,000 Foxes supporters celebrating at the ground until 1am that night. I was one of them, permitted to be a fan again, which isn't really allowed in our job. We sang and hugged all night, I was back there for a beautiful sunrise the following day to report to the world.
This loss was Chelsea’s second in four matches and another high scoring outcome involving their matches. In the last four matches, Chelsea’s matches have produced three goals or more and they have just one clean sheet. However, they will be glad to play at home, where they have won each of the last four and kept three clean sheets in the process.

The fact that Villa have failed to win four out of their seven home games despite such a favourable run of fixtures is a concern, and Leicester have all the qualities to take advantage of their weaknesses. The Foxes come into this game having won three on the bounce away from home, and they are yet to drop points against any team outside the top six.
With football and sports suddenly disappearing from everyday life, it was just a bit of a crazy idea for something that could fill the gap. After hours of hard work, multiple simulations and spreadsheets documenting almost 500 players, the trio managed to turn the initial idea into "an all-singing, all-dancing fantasy football game" in about three weeks. Perrins credits Prentice as the technical whizz, while the fantasy football community has also chipped in with feedback, but he says one of the biggest tasks was creating a pricing system that proved both challenging and fun.
It's time to crown the best player in women's football for 2019. England's Lucy Bronze, the Uefa Women's Player of the Year, and Ellen White are both in the mix to be named the winner of this year's Women's Ballon d'Or, which will be announced at a ceremony in Paris on Monday. Manchester City forward White and Lyon defender Bronze played key parts in the Lionesses reaching the World Cup semi-finals in July.

There were easy victories against Ulster United in Toronto (5-0), New Jersey Stars (3-0) and Philadelphia All-Stars (6-4). The 2-2 draw with the New York All Stars and a 2-1 defeat against New England All-Stars at Fall River were attributable to acclimatisation and travel fatigue. Belfast Celtic's visit to New York was given extensive press coverage. When a photograph showing Scott carrying off an Irish tricolour flag at the front of a pre-match parade found its way on to the pages of newspapers back in Belfast, there was quite a public outcry.

Spurs have not received a bid from Inter for Eriksen, according to Mourinho, who said he felt Conte had broken a managerial code by publicly speaking about a player still contracted to another club. I think Antonio, he has said publicly (about Eriksen)," Mourinho told reporters. I think we coaches should all behave in the same way in relation to transfers.
Messi popped up with an injury-time goal against Real in 2017, sweeping home a first-time shot from the edge of the area. It was an El Clasico winner, his 500th Barcelona goal and it sent Barca top of the table (although Real would go on to win the league). For good measure, he pulled out an iconic celebration when he took off his shirt and held it out so the Bernabeu faithful could see his name. Messi wins sixth Ballon d'Or Messi won his sixth Ballon d'Or - a record - in December, taking him above Ronaldo's five after scoring 54 times for club and country in 2018-19.
A 31-page charge agreement filed with Companies House and signed by Staveley for PCP Capital Partners and a lawyer for St James Holdings Ltd indicated a framework for a deal was being put in place. There was no mention in it, however, of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) which has previously been reported as the prospective majority shareholder.
And Keown did not mince his words on BT Sport when reflecting on Arsenal’s second-half performance. I think he may well have taken the team as far as he can. We just witnessed an absolute shambles of a performance in that second half," he said. The team selection, the team motivation, the substitutions, the performance, everything was missing tonight.
Neville made five changes to the starting line-up that edged out the Czech Republic 3-2 last time out, with 19-year-old Manchester City forward Lauren Hemp given her first start. And Hemp was one of few bright sparks for England, almost setting up Jill Scott in the first half with a dangerous flick-on, while Nikita Parris also had a half-chance for the visitors.
Clubs promoted to the Premier League for the next two seasons will receive £8m less than expected. The reduction is because of a £330m rebate the league has agreed to pay broadcasters because of the temporary suspension of the current season due to the Covid-19 crisis. The Premier League agreed a deal with broadcasters that included a payment for greater flexibility over start and end dates to the next two seasons, the first of which will now begin later than planned.
The problem was the transitions, they scored on the counter. De Bruyne is a fantastic player but when they start like that it's very difficult to get going again and I felt we got low and they got confident. I said to the players at half-time it was about pride, you need to show some heart out there and show that you're proud. What's next?The Gunners face Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday, 21 December (12:30 GMT).

Sane has not featured for City since suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage in the Community Shield win over Liverpool in August. I don't want to put targets on him," he said.

Lukaku and Sanchez have both since joined Inter Milan, the latter on loan. During the summer transfer window, United spent over £130m on defenders, bringing in Harry Maguire from Leicester City and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace, and also signed winger Daniel James from Swansea City. Over the last few years there is a frustration that Manchester United have been U-turning all over the place when it comes to strategy," added Sky Sports pundit Neville, who retired as a player in 2011.
Five points from safety, Morecambe have endured a tough campaign. They've found it very difficult to get their noses in front, while avoiding defeat is also something that the Shrimps have done irregularly.
VAR has been by far and away the most important development in our game's history. Has it worked? Well, I will leave that thought with you but what I can tell you is, it's here to stay. I wish it wasn't, well, not in its current form. Referees must take back control of the game and not leave the most important decisions to some faceless bureaucrat in some far and distant outpost. That VAR should interfere with a referee's 'opinion' is monstrous.
Seven out of ten Sheffield United home league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Five of the last eight West Ham United away league games have seen under 2.5 goals scored. Sheffield United have only scored once in their last three league matches. Sheffield United are eighth in the Premier League and now seven points behind the final Champions League place.
West Brom also top the form table across the last eight games, while their 14 wins and a single defeat from 23 matches is a brilliant return. The visitors are leading the way as the best side on the road in the division. They have the most points from away games this season, four clear of Leeds. Five wins in six trips has helped boost that form.
Rodgers has lost all three of his Premier League meetings with Manchester City as Leicester manager, as many such defeats as he suffered in eight games against the Citizens in charge of Swansea and Liverpool (W3 D2 L3). Gabriel Jesus has scored four goals in his five Premier League appearances against Leicester City; only versus Everton (seven) has he scored more in the competition. Manchester City have failed to score from each of their last four Premier League penalties, with each being missed by a different player (Aguero, Ilkay Gundogan, Jesus, Raheem Sterling).
GOAL! Paris Saint-Germain 5-0 Galatasaray: Mbappe hands the ball to Cavani at the demand of the crowd inside the Parc des Princes and the striker rolls the shot into the back of the net, with Muslera diving the wrong way. That's a very popular goal with the PSG fans! KEY STATS Since his Champions League debut in September 2013, Neymar has both scored and assisted in nine different matches - only Lionel Messi (10) and Cristiano Ronaldo (11) have done so on more occasions in the same time.
Horn played 3 games this year in the league and they had a 4-2 win at home a 3-3 draw and a 2-2 draw, so very high scoring games while earlier this season while playing away from home at Liefering which is really the youth side of Salzburg they lost a high scoring game with 3-2, and Liefering is not having the best of seasons as their defense I would say it is the weakest I have seen in the past 5 seasons from them, but they remain very attacking minded side and good at scoring goals home or away from home.
Atletico Madrid failed to make the breakthrough as they were held to a goalless draw by Villarreal, meaning Diego Simeone’s side have won just one of their last seven matches. See alsoVillarreal v Atletico Madrid - as it happened Kieran Trippier was left on the bench with Joao Felix picked to play in attack alongside Alvaro Morata.
And it’s a nine-foot tall galumphing manchild with pure unfiltered Gazprom in his veins. The house of king Saúl Atlético Madrid aren’t having a vintage season, by the high standards Diego Simeone has created and maintained, but this was a delightfully vintage performance. At one end, a stolen early goal from Saúl Ñíguez, who loves a big goal in a big game the way the Warm-Up loves pint after pint of cool refreshing Gazprom.
Partizan Beograd meets Crvena Zvezda in Serbian Cup. A significant cup match for both teams and I go for a draw and correct score 1-1. FK Crvena Zvezda being a better team will dominate the match though also they are the defending champion. There has been 5 draws in last 9 direct meetings.
The Foxes are actually two points better off now than at this stage of their remarkable 2015-16 title win, but the imperious form of Jurgen Klopp's side makes a repeat triumph even more improbable. However, this victory, four days after the win at West Ham, keeps the Foxes at least notionally in the hunt, restores the sense of supreme confidence that existed prior to the trip to the Etihad and sets them up for what is a crucial seven days in their season.
MONDAY’S BIG STORIES Let’s be honest: Manchester United are not back… See alsoMatchcast: Manchester City v Manchester United …but they are not as bad as they appeared three or four weeks ago. That is what two big wins against two big rivals will do. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had looked a manager out of his depth managing a side out their depth.
It was like Goodison Park back in the '80s. If that is the Duncan Ferguson effect then give him the job at least until the end of the season. You will know then whether he's up to it. Calvert-Lewin certainly is. Did you know? Calvert-Lewin scored his first ever Premier League brace in his 92nd appearance in the competition, and his first league brace overall since October 2015 for Northampton Town against Carlisle in League Two.

Home advantage could make a big difference for Crawley this weekend with the side picking up 18 of their 28 points at Broadfield Stadium this season and with Forest Green Rovers in a poor run of form this could be the time for Crawley to take something from the game. It’s hard to separate the two sides however and the handicap market looks to carry the most value with Forest Green given a +0.25 edge on the game. This means an away win gives us a full win whilst a draw would give us a half win on the handicap.
Best Premier League game ever? Where do you even start?!That is the huge task facing our pundits on the latest edition of the Match of The Day: Top 10 podcast. As you might imagine, there is a sprinkling of Arsenal within Ian Wright's list, while Alan Shearer has opted for a couple of famous Newcastle results. They did manage to agree on six of the games (including the top two), but so difficult was it for the team to come to a consensus they've slightly tweaked the rules this week, Gary Lineker allowing Alan and Ian 10 selections each.
The away side could really use a win to put a bit of distance between them and the league trapdoor. Despite only winning one of their last six matches, Almagro may believe that they can do it too. Recent matches between the teams have shown that the visitors are every bit Chacarito's equal with Almagro unbeaten in three of their last four encounters.
Horsen will be meeting with the away team Silkeborg and this game we have given the home team to win this game as looking at the last games this two teams have meet together the home team have being doing a very good job as they have won many games as compared to the away team and so this makes us to be very sure with this prediction
