We are at home with one of our daughters and it's no trouble to be home for any length of time because we just don't get on each other's nerves at all. We just blend in. I've got a lot of jobs to do as well, but I've done a lot of them so now I want to inspire myself to do something, a painting, and like it rather than get angry with it. What I usually have to do is put them away and leave them because I don't like what I've worked on when I've finished because I only ever see what is wrong with them.

The away team have seen under 1.5 goals in 3 of their past 4 matches so scoring is not easy for them and defending has been very good at times. They will look to defend well in this match being away match. There will not be as many chances for the team and home team to score. In the away teams matches there have not been huge amounts of shots on target at times and the matches of the IRS have not seen big amounts of balls going into the box. This could easily be another lower scoring match for them

West Ham United lost their form completely and so is Tottenham Hotspur. Just 1 draw in the last 5 league matches with 4 games lost. With 13 points from 12 matches, scoring 14 goals against 20. Doing everything possible to not to fall into relegation zone is the main aim of the host, with this game at hand, isn't going to be easy as the visitors got Mourinho in their hand coming to this game, the new coach who know English league well will try to start his game with Tottenham with a win, they are not in the best form either upon the bundle of stars in the team, but I think with this game all will change.
Shrewsbury have won 3 of their last 5 matches and there have been over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches in all competitions. They are an attacking team and have a very good midfield. They are coming from a victory against Mansfield by 2-0 goals. Man city U21 is also playing good. They have scored 3 goals in their last match and have won 3 of their last 5 matches.

The Croatia international latched onto a Samuel Castillejo cross to sweep home the decisive goal after 25 minutes, marking his fifth in the last five league games. Milan move into eighth place on 35 points but only trail seventh-placed Parma and Hellas Verona in sixth on goal difference.

Crystal Palace have been playing catch up in most of their recent matches and while it has been inspiring on occasions, it may also be a sign of weakness. On the flipside, Southampton have improved massively, and with seven wins in 11 matches, they will be in the right shape psychologically. In their last match, they collapsed in the second half and lost, and this time they will know better. They have scored in each of the last six meetings with Palace, winning three and losing one. Only one of the last five meetings between the two sides has produced over 2.5 goals. Four of Southampton’s last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals. The same has been the case in nine of Palace’s last 11 matches. We are thus looking at a situation where we may have under 2.5 goals here, and we feel that could be a good bet.

I've seen a few good ones, yeah," he noted. I've played with Wazza myself. Obviously natural finishing, he's one of the best I've seen. I knew we had got a top talent there and I think this club is the best at recognising that and, for me, developing talent like this. There's no better place for him to be than here.
It is the tale of one of football's unlikeliest odysseys that started in Vilnius on 30 July 2009 and ended 286 days later and 820 miles away in Hamburg - the journey that took Fulham to the 2010 Europa League final. The west London club's season in the sun as one of European football's high rollers - culminating in an unlikely final appearance exactly 10 years ago - will be remembered forever by everyone who witnessed it.
He had a tough first year but he remained quiet, worked hard in the gym and did his talking on the pitch. Gerrard says he is "delighted" with Henderson's success and that he "deserves to be European and Premier League champion". I hope he gets all the individual accolades that follow," the 40-year-old, who won the Champions League, two FA Cups and three League Cups with Liverpool but fell agonisingly short of leading them to the Premier League title in 2013-14, added.
Seattle have had some tight matches of late and this could well be another one.

The SPFL have to do what they consider right for their members. There will be varying interests within that, financial pressures, clubs in distress who will be looking at distribution of prize money.

It's a risk-based analysis for the SPFL.
Woking will be taking on Bromley in this round of the National League Conference this evening and I believe that we are going to have a win for the hosts whose home record against Bromley has been very impressive as they have won 4 of their last 5 mutual encounters with the visitors played in this venue. The hosts have managed to score an average of 1.1 goals in their games at home and they should score at least 1 goal here for the win since they have a good head to head record against the visitors here while Bromley could be limited here in my view

Hello again everyone from this great game. This a my second bet for today and I will try to get good price from this game. Leverkusen play very good this season and they are in perfect condition. They have not lost game last ten of them and think they will keep to win next games. They stay in the fourth place and will be very nice for them if they get new three points. Wolfsburg stay in the middle of the league and for them this season finish before coronavirus started. That's why I will get win for home team with more than one goal

Istanbul Basaksehir must be rising in age. But they are still a very good team and I think they will last at least this season as well. Then they need to start rejuvenating the squad.

Ross County will play against Hibernian in the Scottish first division. This match will be played on today. This is a very interesting match where there will surely be goals, these two teams in general during meetings, offer a very good match and number of goals. Hibernian is definitely the favorite in this match. But I think that they can win here against Ross country who are having bad run of form but not in home matches. I expect Hibernian to win here as they are in amazing form winning their last 3 matches in a row. They will try to extend their winning run here.
While PSG struggled against Amiens, needing to rise from 0-3 down to draw 4-4, Dortmund had a field day, battering Eintracht Frankfurt 4-0. Dortmund’s win saw then end a run of two losses where they conceded heavily. Dortmund have seen each of their last six matches end in over 2. They have three straight home wins and in the Champions League, Dortmund have four wins in the last 11 – not a very strong run in Europe there.
BATE will against Slavia in match Belarusian Cup. My prediction this match could be the end score for BATE with margin score is 1 goal. BATE have great result on last 3 match in league due to BATE have won in 2 match and 1 match is draw. Meanwhile, Slavia have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Slavia only have draw in 1 match and 2 match is lose. Nevertheless, I think that BATE can not defeat Slavia with margin score is more than 2 goals due to BATE on last 3 home match only have margin score is 1 goal. Therefore, my prediction that BATE will be win with margin 1 goal.

Arsenal are 10th in the Premier League with 22 points. We all know there is a lot of work to be done to achieve that but I am confident we'll do it," added Arteta. I'm realistic enough to know it won't happen overnight, but the current squad has plenty of talent and there is a great pipeline of young players coming through from the academy. Arteta's coaching team has not yet been announced. Ljungberg has won once in five matches since being appointed on a caretaker basis on 29 November, and the Swede called for some clarity on the situation after Sunday's 3-0 home defeat by champions Manchester City.
