Tottenham's Andros Townsend looks set for January transfer as he is sent to play for the U21s

Kampusbet  ~   "  Tottenham's Andros Townsend looks set for January transfer as he is sent to play for the U21s "

 

 

 

Agen Klik4D  ~    Tottenham outcast Andros Townsend has edged closer to the exit door after being demoted to the Under-21 side.

Townsend suffered the ignominy of making the long trek to Middlesbrough as part of a rookie Spurs development side.

It was a new low for the 24-year-old England international - who has not kicked a ball for the North Londoners' first team since October 22 - as he was relegated to turn out in Monday’s 2-1 win in County Durham.

The writing has been on the wall since Townsend’s row with Tottenham fitness coach Nathan Gardiner during the warm-down against Aston Villa on November 2.

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  ~    He was exiled by Mauricio Pochettino and there now appears no way back after being shunted down the pecking order.

Townsend has also lost his place in Roy Hodgson’s England squad.

Swansea, Aston Villa, West Brom, Leicester and Newcastle are among the Premier League clubs vying to rescue the 10-times capped flier.

Townsend wants out in January in a bid to win back his international spot for next summer’s Euro 2016 finals.

Tottenham star Harry Kane reveals brace against Chelsea gave him the confidence to shine

Kampusbet  ~    Tottenham star Harry Kane reveals brace against Chelsea gave him the confidence to shine 

 

Agen MaxbeT  ~    When Harry Kane looks into opposition eyes today, memories will come flooding back.

It was not just a New Year’s Day when he tore Chelsea apart, it was a new life’s day .

It was the day Kane convinced not only the legion of doubters, but HIMSELF that he belonged among football’s elite.

Kane scored twice in Tottenham’s glorious 5-3 romp, kicking off an annus mirabilis that sees him just one shy of the 30-goal mark in 2015.

“Sometimes, I think back and feel what a crazy year,” said Kane, before explaining the importance of January 1.

“For me, it was the first top team I scored against. It was the first time I said to myself, ‘I can do it at any level now’.”

And even those sceptics who thought a Premier League barren spell in August and most of September suggested one-season-wonder syndrome now have to acknowledge Kane’s level is in the big-time.

“I knew, if I didn’t score for a few games, people were going to talk about that and compare it to last season,” Kane says. “But I always knew I had to keep doing things right and the rewards would come.”

The rewards have been nine goals in his last six Spurs appearances, proof that Kane is coming to terms with the extra attention off and ON the pitch.

In an interview with Glenn Hoddle, which will feature in BT Sport’s live coverage of Spurs vs Chelsea, Kane explains: “I get recognised more often, going for meals or taking the dogs for a walk. It’s different.

 

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  ~    “Last season, it was kind of new kid on the block, not a lot of people knew about my game.

This season’s totally different. I noticed it from day one, with probably a couple of extra defenders getting tight. But I’ve always been quite ­confident in my ability.”

While Kane’s recent scoring form has increased Tottenham’s impetus, they coped even when their talismanic striker was off-target – a slightly ­unfortunate opening-day defeat at Old Trafford their only reverse.

Unsurprisingly, the run has given them a major shot of confidence.

Asked by Hoddle if Mauricio ­Pochettino’s team can mount an unlikely title challenge, Kane said: “We don’t fear anyone. The season’s wide open for anyone who can put a run together and take it by the scruff of the neck. The main aim for us this season was to try and get top four.

We’re in a good position and, come the new year, if we’re still up there, then we can start thinking about that.”

But, as much as Kane tries to temper expectations, he simply can’t keep a lid on the optimism bubbling around White Hart Lane.

Licking his lips at the prospect of tackling the champions, he declared: “Chelsea won’t be looking forward to coming to White Hart Lane.

“We’ve had some great results there, the atmosphere will be electric, the fans will be right behind us, so it’s about taking the game to them. The confidence is sky-high at the moment and we feel we can take on anyone.”

Paul Pogba wears France flag on boots during Juventus game in honour of Paris attack victims

Kampusbet  ~    "  Paul Pogba wears France flag on boots during Juventus game in honour of Paris attack victims "

Agen SbobeT  ~    Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba paid tribute to those who lost their lives in Paris earlier this month by emblazoning the French flag across his boots. 

Pogba, who was born around 25km from the centre of Paris, wore the eye-catching Tricolore boots during Juve's Champions League clash against Manchester City on Wednesday night. 

He was playing at the Stade de France when two suicide bombers attacked outside of the venue, as France faced Germany in an international friendly.

It was the first of six locations targeted on a day of terror in which 130 people lost their lives.

In his first outing in the Champions League since returning from international duty to Juventus, Pogba wore the specially-designed Nike boots as his own personal tribute to all those affected.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~    Pogba helped Juve claim a 1-0 win over City, ensuring their qualification for the knockout stages of the competition, leapfrogging City to the top spot in the group in the process.

The gesture comes on the same night that Paris Saint-Germain's players wore a special 'Je suis Paris' jersey for their clash at Malmo. 

They will also wear the special jerseys for the home league game against Troyes this coming weekend.

Kampusbet  ~    Steven Gerrard to wear Liverpool shirt again - as part of Legends side in Australia

Agen TangKasneT  ~   Steven Gerrard is set to pull on the Liverpool shirt again in January. 

But instead of returning to Jurgen Klopp's side, he will be part of a Legends team that will play in Sydney, reports the Liverpool Echo.

 

The Reds have confirmed Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Ian Rush will be in the squad for the game against an Australian Legends side, which will take place at the ANZ Stadium on January 7, 2016. 

Dietmar Hamann and John Arne Riise have also been named, with Gerard Houllier serving as manager.

It will be the first time Gerrard has pulled on a Liverpool shirt since departing for Los Angeles Galaxy in the summer, albeit for the Legends side.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   Gerrard is currently back on Merseyside following the end of his first MLS campaign in LA.

The 35-year-old said: “It will be great to play with the official Liverpool FC Legends.

“The squad looks like it’s a great set of lads, it’ll be good to get on the pitch with them. Our fans are the best and to play in front of them again will be emotional, I’m sure.”

The match also marks the high-profile debut of the Australian Legends side, which will feature Brett Emerton, Tony Popovic and Mark Bosnich.

Tickets for the game, which is being brought to fans by Destination New South Wales, will be available on general sale on Friday November 27.

Jurgen Klopp hails "perfect" Liverpool - and says passionate performance can get Reds believing

Kampusbet  ~    Jurgen Klopp hails "perfect" Liverpool - and says passionate performance can get Reds believing

Agen Casin()  ~   Jurgen Klopp has hailed a "perfect" Liverpool performance as they smashed Manchester City on their own patch.

The German was visibly delighted with not only the result, but the manner of the performance, which saw the Reds go 3-0 up in just half an hour.

An Eliaquim Mangala own goal was followed by Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino strikes, capping a sensational start from Klopp's men.

Sergio Aguero pegged one back before the break, but a Martin Skrtel volley late in the second half secured the dominant win.

Klopp has hailed the passion shown by his side - and now thinks they can start believing that big things are going to happen.

"It feels perfect! The game was not perfect but it was very good," he told Sky Sports.

 

Bandar Judi Online Casin()  ~   "City couldn't start like they want but that is important for us. We played with big passion and that's the most important thing for us.

"The good news is that we can do better. At half-time I told the boys they were surprised to be winning 3-0, and we must do better in that situation.

"We have quality, we could have more goals but 4-1 is perfect. The boys can believe now that they are stronger than many people think."

Klopp is equally delighted that his side were able to take a dominant lead so early in the match. 

"They were brilliant goals. It's a big step," he said. "The crowd was a bit nervous when they couldn't build up their game as they wanted. It was good, really good. 

"We have to learn to be in a clear lead. With results like this the lads will start to believe."

Roberto Martinez admits Everton cannot stop Barcelona re-signing Gerard Deulofeu

Kampusbet  ~    Roberto Martinez admits Everton cannot stop Barcelona re-signing Gerard Deulofeu

Agen Klik4D  ~   Everton boss Roberto Martinez has again warned that Chelsea and the rest of the predators are wasting their breath even asking about his young stars.

But he did admit there is one exception to that emphatic rule – because there is nothing he can do about it.

Martinez has completely ruled out any chance of John Stones moving to Stamford Bridge in January, and explained the same applies to the likes of Ross Barkley, Romelu Lukaku and Seamus Coleman.

But in the case of winger Gerard Deulofeu, who has been a revelation in recent weeks, Martinez admitted there is nothing he can do to stop Barcelona snatching him back.

The Spanish club only sold the 21-year-old to Everton in the summer, but they inserted a buy-back clause which allows them to re-sign him at the end of the season for a fee of around £6m, should they so choose.

That would represent a profit for the Blues. 

Martinez tried to paint a brave picture when he said: “There is nothing we can do if they activate it. 

That was the deal and the only way we could access the player in the terms that we wanted. 

"I’m delighted with the deal.

“They can’t sell him on at a higher price. There are certain things in the deal.

"They can’t take him back in the winter so they can’t take him back in January. It can only be at the end of the season.

“If they take him back, they can’t sell him for a season. So he has to stay in the first team squad for a season.

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  ~   "At the end of that, if they decide to sell him, we have got first rights of getting him back, or we have got a big percentage of that.”

Deulofeu put in a fine performance at West Ham then hit FIVE goals for Spain U21 in two matches after assuming the captaincy of his country.

That has put him back on Barca’s radar - and Martinez is not surprised.

“He has gone to a different level," he said. “If I showed you the stats against West Ham, you wouldn’t believe them. He had more high intensity off the ball than on it.

That is the first time ever since he has been in professional football.

“I’m not worried about it, though. My worry would be to lose him in January.

"For us to have him, a quality player, for the money that we paid, if we lose him it will be on a profit financially so we would be able to use the money.

“You’re talking about a Barcelona player who has been all through his years as the golden boy believing he is going to be at the top level at Barcelona and we got him for a very good price.”

However Martinez said he CAN do something about the rest of his young stars.

“None of our best players will be leaving in January – I’m not worried at all,” the Spanish coach insisted.

“We are not in a position where we have to make financial decisions or worry about balancing the books, and our only concern is about continuity, and developing the best we can.

“Our focus is on being as strong as we can together and keeping the continuity.

“We don’t look on it as a window to be really involved, whether buying or selling... it’s more a matter of continuity. It’s about developing competition for places between the ones we already have.”

Premier League chiefs to hold urgent talks on how to keep stadiums safe from terror attacks

Kampusbet  ~     Premier League chiefs to hold urgent talks on how to keep stadiums safe from terror attacks

Agen MaxbeT  ~    Premier League chiefs will hold urgent talks this week on how to protect grounds in this country after suicide bombers set off their vests outside the Stade de France.

Fresh guidelines will be issued to all top-flight grounds early this week after football fans were targeted for the first time in terrorist attacks.

The new proposals are set to be issued to top-flight clubs well in advance of Saturday and Sunday’s matches.

One suicide bomber tried unsuccessfully to gain access to the stadium during the France game against Germany.

The French authorities believe another two bombers were ready to set off their vests in the street as football fans fled.

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  ~    It was only when the bomber was refused entry to the ground that the vests were set off in the street, killing several people.

The Premier League are consulting with their security advisors and the relevant authorities before speaking to clubs in this country.

A crackdown was launched on devices such as flares last season while stewards were trained and police targeted at-risk matches with sniffer dogs.

New guidelines will be issued, however, following the horrific events in Paris.

Belgium to ramp up security measures for Spain friendly

Kampusbet  -   Belgium to ramp up security measures for Spain friendly 

 

Agen SbobeT  ~     Belgium officials are planning to increase security levels around the ground for their high-profile friendly meeting with Spain on Tuesday night.

Two of the world's top-six teams meet in Brussels just four days on from the coordinated terror attacks in Paris that claimed the lives of more than 120 people.

Friendly matches are expected to go ahead as planned, including England's home match with France, but security measures will be ramped up following the shocking scenes on Friday night.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   Belgium in particular has come under the spotlight after three suspects were detained in the capital, meaning that the terrorist threat level has increased from two to three for major events.

As a result, military personnel are to be deployed at the King Baudouin Stadium as number-one ranked side Belgium look to get one over on reigning European champions Spain.

Arsenal's Olivier Giroud: 'Arsene Wenger's decision to bench me made me react'

Kampusbet  -   Arsenal's Olivier Giroud: 'Arsene Wenger's decision to bench me made me react'

Agen TangKasneT  ~   Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has claimed that Arsene Wenger's decision to relegate him to the substitutes' bench sparked a 'reaction'.

The France forward managed to score just one goal in his first five games of the season for the Gunners.

The 29-year-old did not start a Premier League game between September and late October, with Theo Walcott being preferred, but the Frenchman has since found his shooting boots, scoring seven times for the team.

"[Wenger] chose to put me on the bench when I came back from Bordeaux," Giroud told Le Parisien. "Maybe he thought I needed to be less under pressure.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   "We spoke about it. He told me he trusted me, like he did Theo Walcott, but that we were two different players. It was also a tactical choice.

"I understood the coach's tactical choice, but after four games, I needed to turn things around. I told myself 'I can't let this last'. It wasn't good for me, for the national team or for the Euros.

 I didn't want to spend the whole season on the bench. It made me react."

Giroud joined Arsenal from Montpellier in 2012.

Aston Villa boss Remi Garde tips captain Micah Richards to inspire club to safety

Kampusbet  -    Aston Villa boss Remi Garde tips captain Micah Richards to inspire club to safety

Agen Casin()  -    Remi Garde has confirmed Micah Richards will remain as Aston Villa captain and has tipped him to inspire them to safety. 

Centre-back Richards, 27, helped Villa keep a clean sheet in Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Man City when he was man of the match.

The point in Garde’s first match as new boss ended the bottom club’s seven-game losing streak in the Premier League.

Asked if Richards would remain as captain and continue to lead by example, Garde replied: “Yes of course definitely. 

“I think he has done very well since the start of the season. We have had many chats and discussions already.

Bandar Judi Online Casin()  -   “He is a strong defender, a good guy in the group, an experienced man and he has done brilliantly against Man City.

“He has led the team to this point and I am very pleased with that. I am not surprised at all.”

Richards was forced to sit out of Villa's last game before their new boss took over.

The former Man City star was issued a one-match ban just 90 minutes before the Villans' 3-1 loss at home to Tottenham.

West Ham duo should be in Roy Hodgson's England squad says Mark Noble

Kampusbet  -    West Ham duo should be in Roy Hodgson's England squad says Mark Noble 

 

 

 

 

Agen Klik4D  -    Aaron Cresswell and James Tomkins should be in the latest England squad, according to West Ham skipper Mark Noble.

Noble is surprised the Hammers defensive duo didn't get selected for the upcoming friendlies against Spain and France.

Left-back Cresswell and centre-back Tomkins missed out despite playing their part in West Ham's impressive start to the season and Roy Hodgson admitting he is keeping an eye on the Three Lions contenders in Slaven Bilic's squad. 

Uncapped midfielder Noble, no stranger to being overlooked by England himself, said: “I have been surprised Cresswell hasn't been in the England squad since I have been here.

 

“Cress and Tomks actually, they have both been great.

Bandar Judi Online Klik4D  -   You see Tomks' last few performances especially against Chelsea and Everton, against top, top players have both been really good.

“We are fifth in the table so we cant be doing much wrong just hopefully they get a shout soon.

“It's not my decision, Roy Hodgson and his staff have got their players that they want involved and that's it.

“It's for the boys to break into that team. I have got no doubt in the quality they have got and hopefully they will do soon.”

Chelsea striker Diego Costa 'reported for assault by Stoke steward' after clash during the game

Kampusbet  -    Chelsea striker Diego Costa 'reported for assault by Stoke steward' after clash during the game 

 

 

 

 

Agen MaxbeT  -    Just when Chelsea thought their weekend couldn't get any worse, it has.

Blues striker Diego Costa has been reported for assault by one of Stoke's steward, it has been claimed.

With Chelsea losing 1-0 in the second half, in what seemed an innocuous incident, the Brazilian born forward ran over to collect the ball when it had gone out of play.

As Costa bent down to pick the ball up, he appeared to knock a nearby steward.

He then returned to the pitch and the match continued.

And now that steward has reportedly made a complaint to the referee, saying he was 'assaulted' by Costa.

Bandar Judi Online MaxbeT  -   A Chelsea spokesperson has dismissed the claim as "utter nonsense".

The news is yet another blow to the beleaguered Premier League champions, who lost their seventh consecutive league game and now sit 16th in the table, three points off the drop zone.

Marko Anautovic scored the only goal of the game at the Britannia as the Blues lost three league matches in a row for the first time in the Roman Abramovich era.

Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling must score MORE says Manuel Pellegrini after recent blitz

Kampusbet  -    Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling must score MORE says Manuel Pellegrini after recent blitz  

 

 

 

 

Agen SbobeT  -    England forward Raheem Sterling has been challenged by Manuel Pellegrini to have his best season in front of goal on the back of his extra finishing sessions.

Sterling has been doing one-on-one work with coach Brian Kidd in training and he has responded by bagging four goals in his last five games for Manchester City.

The England forward has six in total and Pellegrini claims he must beat his best haul of 11 for Liverpool from last season.

“We try to work with all the players in different moments,” said the City boss.

“It depends on how many games they are playing in.

But of course Raheem is a young player and I was sure from the beginning that he must improve a lot.

“I knew he scored 11 for Liverpool and I don’t think that’s a huge amount for Raheem. He must score more and to do that he must work a lot.

"He soon settled into our style of play and I’m happy that he has six already.

“When you are 21 years old and you work as a good professional, you must improve.

"Playing every day with important players is good for a young player, you are always learning from experienced players.

“The style we play is good for him. He will have good chances to score.”

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  -  Kidd has told Sterling to be calmer in front of goal and he showed he is listening with his cool finish against Sevilla in the Champions League in midweek.

“It’s important for a striker, who must improve his number of goals, to be calm in the box,” said the Chilean.

“It’s important to finish with your head up and dominate the situation, not let the situation dominate you.”

Pellegrini also urged Aston Villa fans not to abuse Fabian Delph when he returns on Sunday for the first time since his £8million summer switch.

He claims they should not target the England midfielder at Villa Park because of the service he gave the club during his six years.

“I hope he will not receive that because he played a lot of years for Aston Villa,” he said. “Aston Villa wanted to sell him also.

“He was a player who gave a lot during his career for Aston Villa. I don’t think the fans will forget all of those things.”

Delph, 25, initially rejected City because he was unsure about the move and Pellegrini is adamant he made the right decision, even though he has yet to start for the Blues.

“There were different problems he had at that moment,” he said.

“But in the end I am happy for him because he took the correct decision.”

Manchester City's Joe Hart says they have found "simple" Champions League recipe for success

Kampusbet  -   Manchester City's Joe Hart says they have found "simple" Champions League recipe for success 

 

 

 

 

Agen TangKasneT  -   Joe Hart believes Manchester City have finally cracked the Champions League.

The Mancunian Blues proved they have learnt from their past mistakes by producing a near-perfect display against Sevilla on Tuesday to qualify for the last 16 with two games to spare.

England No 1 Hart was delighted with their performance. The keeper admits City have been naive in the competition previously and felt they struck the right balance between attacking and being solid defensively on this trip to Spain.

“Yeah, I think we managed to do that against a really confident Sevilla side, who play with a lot of attacking intent,” he said.

“I think we set ourselves up well, we controlled the game, we defended well and took our chances well.

“It’s pretty simple, but sometimes we’ve not played to that gameplan. We’ve been a little reckless.

 I think Vinny [Vincent Kompany, City's captain] has said a few times that we’ve been a little bit naibe and been caught out, but we were really solid.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT -  “When we’re balanced like that, I think that’s when we play our best football. When we beat Chelsea, we were very balanced, and against Newcastle, so that’s definitely something we have this year which we didn’t have last year.”

City didn't make their Champions League debut until 2011-12 and have been in the competition every season since, with the first two ending with elimination at the group stage and the most recent pair with defeat in the last 16.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini wants to now finish top of Group D to minimise the chances of drawing Barcelona for a third successive season in that first knock-out stage.

Hart is not so bothered and says City do not fear facing any of the big boys.

“We just want to finish top because that would be a great achievement,” said the Blues' England international goalkeeper.

“We’re in the competition to win it, so at some point we’re going to have to play one of those strong teams.”

Cesar Azpilicueta believes Chelsea can save their season with Champions League success

Kampusbet  -    Cesar Azpilicueta believes Chelsea can save their season with Champions League success 

 

 

 

 

Agen Sbo Casin0 -    Cesar Azpilicueta believes the Champions League could be Chelsea’s best chance of success this season. 

The Blues face Dynamo Kiev at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday sitting third in Group G - but with a big opportunity to move up to second spot behind leaders Porto if they can win.

And, following a miserable start to the Premier League season, Spanish star Azpilicueta believes Europe could be Chelsea’s best chance of silverware.

He said: “There is a big obsession at Chelsea with the Champions League. It’s one of our challenges and the next one to think about.

 To win it under Jose Mourinho would be special. It’s a dream for us and we need to change our season.” 

Azpilicueta admits it has been a hugely frustrating few months at the Bridge; but he has already identified the biggest problem.

Bandar Judi Online Sbo Casin0  -   He said: “We know the results have not been good enough and that we have to improve. It has not been the Chelsea desired by the fans, that’s for sure.

“Our problem is goals. We are creating chances but we aren’t scoring enough. If we score more it will change. We have to work hard to do that.

“Chelsea is a big club with big players and there are no excuses. The club demands success and we are are still trying to bring it. We cannot give up. The Champions League is a big goal for us.”

If the Blues can beat Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday their hopes of reaching the knockout stage of the Champions League would be given a huge boost.

 Their final two fixtures in the group are away to Maccabi Tel Aviv and home to leaders Porto.
