Paul Warne was happy as Rotherham’s fitness coach in November 2016, when he was persuaded to take over as manager, already the third of the season, to oversee their inevitable relegation from the Championship with some dignity. Not only did he manage that but after reluctantly accepting the role permanently, he has http://www.officialpacershop.com/authentic-4-victor-oladipo-jersey.html now taken them back at the first attempt, beating Shrewsbury 2-1 in the League One play-off final. 
“I’ll struggle to get a job as a fitness coach now,” Warne said afterwards. Not that promotion has entirely convinced him of his own abilities. “It was tough last year. I questioned myself no end of times. The chairman convinced me that I have the attributes to be a good manager. I still try to convince myself that most days.” The unlikely figure of Richard Wood was Rotherham’s hero, the captain and central defender scoring from two set‑pieces. The winner came in extra time, required after Alex Rodman had equalised Wood’s first‑half opener, a cruel blow to Paul Hurst and his Shrewsbury side. Tipped for relegation by many before the season started, Shrewsbury spent 200 days in the automatic promotion places before running out of steam and finding themselves in the play-offs. Objectively speaking this has been a brilliant season, but Hurst’s emotions afterwards were split. “My stomach’s telling me disappointment, my head’s telling me pride,” he said. “We wanted that fairytale ending but we didn’t get it.” Hurst has been linked with other jobs, and played a straight bat to those questions afterwards. Predictably the game started with the frantic energy of a Kenny Golladay Jersey six-year-old allowed outside after being locked in the house all day with a bottle of Ribena. Rotherham http://www.officialsanaheimducks.com/Adidas-Jean-Sebastien-Giguere-Jersey were awarded a penalty in the eighth minute, when Omar Beckles discovered putting Wood in a headlock was against the rules. David Ball stepped up but Dean Henderson, on loan from Manchester United and Shrewsbury’s best player on the day, dived right and saved. Beckles was lucky not to concede a second penalty for a virtually identical foul on the same player moments later. Perhaps he should have tried it again in the 32nd minute when Wood gave Rotherham the lead, rising above Beckles with brilliant purpose to head a Joe Newell corner down into the ground then up into the roof of the net. “I saw my kids crying in the stands,” Wood said afterwards. “That’s what it’s all about.” A moment of excellence totally out of step with their general performance drew Shrewsbury level after half-time. Shaun Whalley played a short free-kick from the edge of the area to Matt Sadler, he sharply flicked it to Rodman who jabbed home from six yards. It was as brilliant and smart as it was unexpected. Rotherham, hitherto so sparky, seemed to lose their momentum, and Shrewsbury could not press home their advantage: thus, for the remainder of normal time, the teams circled each other like tired boxers waiting for the other to throw the next punch. As the clock ticked down, weary limbs and minds in the baking heat would only allow sporadic bursts of attacking. Hurst, while not trying to make excuses, said it was “a bit of a farce, almost” that a whole season could come down to two Grady Jarrett Jerseyshattered teams dragging themselves around Wembley. And it’s tough to argue with him. Both teams were so exhausted when extra time arrived that a mistake was inevitable, and it came in the 103rd minute. Newell skimmed a free-kick to the back post, and there was Wood again, entirely unmarked to toe-end the ball just – just – into the corner. “It’s the first time he’s scored twice in a week,” Warne said, when it was pointed out that Wood had never managed two before. “Including training. I call him ‘the wrecking ball’, because whenever the ball goes in the box he’s prepared to head people to get it in the goal.” The wrecking ball cleared a path for Rotherham to immediately return to the Championship, quite an achievement considering they went down last season with only 23 points. The reluctant manager will have to go on for a bit longer now. wholesale nfl jerseyswholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys

We are Real Madrid,” Marcelo said boldly after Real Madrid had – just – held off Juventus’s fightback in the quarter-final. The reference was clear: they were not Barcelona, not the sort of team to go giving away three-goal leads as their great rivals had against Roma the previous night, not the sort of side who countenanced failure. Whether that is arrogance or a necessary mindset for winning probably depends on perspective, but what is true of that Madrid is that their most obvious quality is simply that they win. Inexplicably at times, but remorselessly. 
Madrid are only the fourth side to have been European champions three times in a row. Only they themselves, between 1956 and 1960, http://www.officialauthenticbillstore.com/womens_doug_flutie_jerseyhave had a run of sustained success better than the four Champions Leagues they have won in the past five years. That Authentic Roberto Clemente Jersey suggests they are one of the greatest teams in history and yet it really doesn’t feel like it. Perhaps the issue is one of proximity, that being so close means their flaws stand out and time will provide the perspective that allows their achievements properly to be measured. And yet there was no such issue with Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona, whose 2011 triumph confirmed the greatness they had touched in 2009 and come so close to repeating in 2010. “In 10 years I don’t think anybody will speak about how we lost,” Jürgen Klopp said on Saturday night, and perhaps that is the real issue with perspective. There is an assumption that a club that keeps winning must be great and the precise details fade away. Saturday’s success, after all, was the result of a bizarre concatenation of freakish circumstance: a brilliant overhead kick, two hideous goalkeeping errors and an injury to the opposition’s best player. But what’s really bizarre is how frequently similar circumstances have occurred this season. Sven Ulreich’s mistake that ultimately settled http://www.officialauthenticshoppanthers.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_JULIUS_PEPPERS_JERSEY.htmlthe semi-final against Bayern seemed like an error for the ages. A game and a half later, it was battling to stay on the podium for worst mistake made against Real Madrid by a goalkeeper in the Champions League this season. Add in penalties given and not given, against Juve and Bayern, and it’s pretty clear that a lot of key moments have fallen Madrid’s way this season. Whether you think that is a matter of luck or of the winning mentality of which Marcelo spoke probably depends on who you support. The dissonance comes when Madrid’s Champions League record is compared to their record in the domestic league. In those last five seasons they have won the domestic title only once. That makes little sense: how can a team that dominates in Europe not dominate at home? And yet none of those other sides who won three titles in a row also won their domestic league in each of those three seasons. Madrid’s five in-a-row champions of the late 50s won the league only twice in that spell. Ajax won only two between 1971 and 1973. Bayern won only one between 1974 and 1976 – and finished as low as 10th in the Bundesliga in 1975. Perhaps this is simply the smoothing effect of time: Bayern, certainly, could easily have lost the 1975 final against Leeds and the 1976 final against St-Étienne. In a sense, of course, this is, anyway, not comparing like with like. The competition is very different now to when those previous three three-time champions were contesting it. Then, limited to champions, it was harder to get into, but with only five rounds could be won with a couple of good performances. Now for the superclubs – with access to the last Authentic Rod Smith Jersey 16 and often the last eight all but guaranteed – the issue is peaking at the right time and having the decisiveness to win those key games in the spring. And greatness, anyway, perhaps is about more than mere trophies. As Arrigo Sacchi has always been very keen to point out, what matters in football, what is remembered, is not necessarily what is done, but what is done well. The Ajax of 1971-73, the Internazionale of 1964-65, the Barcelona of 2009-11, Sacchi’s Milan of 1989-90, they all took the game in new directions. They innovated, created new styles. They stood for something (and while that may have included a cynicism akin to Sergio Ramos’s, it certainly did not involve two of their biggest stars using their post-match interviews to agitate for moves).http://alhoush.com/forums/showthread.php?445625-Ireland-s-bid-to-land-2023-Rugby-World-Cup&p=913934#post913934

It took the court just 10 minutes to declare Parma FC bankrupt in March 2015. The quick decision ended months of torment in which the club had been docked points on several occasions; players and staff had gone without their wages; games had been postponed because they could not pay stewards; the club had been sold – twice – for €1; and, having finished sixth in Serie A the season before, they had sunk to the bottom of the league. 
Mercifully, Parma were allowed to finish the season in Serie A, with relegation to Serie B a formality. However, when the club could not find a new buyer or pay their debts – which totalled $218m, Authentic Paul Carey Jersey including unpaid wages of €63m – they were denied a place in Serie B and were folded for the second time in a decade. They would have to start the 2015-16 season, as Parma Calcio 1913, in Serie D. Like Fiorentina, who went bankrupt in 2002, and Napoli, who suffered the same fate in 2004, Parma had to re-form in the lower leagues and set about returning to Serie A. A group of local entrepreneurs, called Nuovo Inizio (New Beginning), took over the club, appointing former coach Nevio Scala as president and http://www.officialfootballvikingshop.com/Nike- Emmanuel-Lamur-Jersey.html the former player Tom Kuhnhackl Authentic Jersey Luigi Apolloni as manager. Both men had won various domestic and European trophies in Parma’s golden era in the 1990s, which helped the club connect with their past. The fans were remarkably http://www.footballtitansofficialonline.com/Nike-Bruce- Matthews-Jersey.html loyal, buying more season tickets in Serie D than they had in the club’s final season in Serie A. Not only did the fans help generate matchday revenue but they also bought shares in the club through a crowdfunding scheme. Their support on the terraces was reciprocated on the field. II Ducali won promotion to Serie C in style, going unbeaten all season and amassing the highest points total ever recorded in the league. Escaping Serie D at the first attempt was merely the beginning for Scala. “ We are enjoying the rewards of an extraordinary ride,” he said in April 2016. “Let’s enjoy the victory, as it’s the first of a process that we hope will see us as contenders again next year.” Parma’s next promotion, to Serie B, was won the hard way. After a string of defeats early in the season, Apollini was sacked. Roberto D’Aversa, in just his second coaching job, took over and turned things around. He guided Parma to second place, enough to give them a spot in the last-16 stage of the gruelling play-offs. Parma beat Piacenza, Lucchese and Pordenone to set up a final against Alessandria in late June. With club legend Hernan Crespo in the crowd to offer support, they won 2-0 to seal promotion to Serie B. Back-to-back promotions attracted the interest of Chinese businessman Jiang Lizhang, who bought a 60% stake in the club to become Parma’s majority owner and new president. Lizhang was wise. He ensured the club kept its local feel and did not alienate fans. Nuovo Inizio held on to a 30% stake, while the supporters retained 10%. Lizhang appointed Hernan Crespo as vice president and set his sights on a third straight promotion: “Parma will rise again like a giant to take back its rightful place in Italian football. I hope we can soon celebrate Serie A with the team and the fans.” His wish came true last weekend. Going into the final day of the regular season, Frosinone were in pole position to finish second and earn automatic promotion to Serie A. Parma needed to win at Spezia and hope Frosinone would drop points at home to Foggia. With just over an hour gone, it was on. Parma were 2-0 up and Foggia were beating Frosinone 1-0. As things stood, Roberto D’Aversa’s men were going up. But this script would offer at least one more twist. In the space of five minutes, Frosinone scored twice to take the lead against Foggia and leapfrog Parma in the table. With the clock ticking down, it seemed as if Parma would have to settle for another tilt at the play- offs. But then, with just one minute of the season remaining, Foggia substitute Roberto Floriano scored an equaliser at Frosinone. They had left it late, but Parma had done it. wholesale jerseys wholesale nfl jerseyswholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys

Jürgen Klopp knew we had met before but, at Liverpool’s training ground last month, he could not recall the exact setting of our first interview. The answer made him groan. Five years ago this month in Dortmund, 10 days before the 2013 Champions League final at Wembley, Klopp had been in a sparkling mood. As he prepared to lead Borussia Dortmund against Bayern Munich in an all-German battle for European football’s greatest prize, he offered engaging insights into his managerial style while urging the neutral fan to support his team. 
“If you want the new story, the special story, it must be Dortmund,” Klopp said. “You have to be on our side.” Five years on, with neutrals enraptured again as Klopp inspires an often thrilling Liverpool to Saturday’s Champions League final http://www.officialwhitesoxproshop.com/Carlton_Fisk_Jerseyin Kiev against Real Madrid, his charisma was equally obvious. But before Klopp could engage with subjects ranging from football to A. J. Cann Authentic Jersey politics he remembered how Dortmund had conceded the winning goal in the 89th minute against Bayern. “It was too painful,” he said softly. “I’ve cancelled pretty much everything around that game and never watched it back.” He shook his head and repeated one word. “Never.” In that moment it was possible to sense the depth of Klopp’s desire to win the Champions League. He might be the most likable of interviewees but this quest for success drives him. It hurts to have won only one of the six cup finals in which his teams have played. In 2012, in his first, Dortmund beat Bayern 5-2 in the German Cup. He has since lost five in a row. That curious statistic is less interesting than the way in which he galvanises his teams. I also interviewed Marco Reus in 2013 and the Dortmund forward responded simply when asked how Klopp helped the team. “He makes us happy,” Reus said. In a more layered way Andy Robertson, the Liverpool left-back who has been a revelation since Klopp signed him from Hull 11 months ago, told me last week how “the gaffer uses humour http://www.nflbillsofficialauthentic.com/Nike-Marshall-Newhouse-Jersey.html very cleverly. If he feels the lads are uptight or things aren’t going our way he’ll relieve the tension. He’ll crack a joke or you’ll Brandon Moss Youth jersey hear his big laugh. He’s a fantastic manager who knows exactly what to do and when to do it. His personality is so good that when you see him on the touchline you just want to run for him. You want to tackle for him, you want to do well for him. But, most of all, he’s a calming influence.” Klopp’s calm in a one-to-one setting, even more than his humour or warmth, remains my clearest impression from our interviews. Rather than a joker or cheerleader, he is a bright thinker with an even deeper emotional intelligence which enables him to connect powerfully with people. He spoke so fondly of his players, I wondered if he felt like a father to some of them? “A stepfather,” he exclaimed before becoming more reflective. “Look, I am an absolutely normal guy and sometimes I want be their friend. Seattle Seahawks">http://www.artsneed.com/sports/nfl-jerseys/seattle-seahawks">Seattle Seahawks Sometimes I have to be a teacher. It’s not so difficult to find a moment to be a friend or … well … [Klopp laughed] a North Korean dictator,” he exclaimed before becoming more reflective. “My biggest skill is common sense. It’s important they understand football is only one part of life. Coming into a Champions League final you tell James Harrison Youth jerseythem to appreciate this moment. Of course they are young and considered superstars. But in big moments they need help to find calm. It’s not important if you won or lost the last game, if you played well or kicked the ball like your grandmother. I need to help settle their heads and hearts before such a massive match.” In Dortmund Klopp had smiled when hearing Reus’s quote about happiness. “What they discover when they leave the club is that we have a very special dressing room. The secret of a manager like Alex Ferguson comes through when you hear what former players say about him. They can have had boots flying in their face like David Beckham but they still love the idea they were coached by him. That’s the biggest honour or accolade you can give to a coach.http://facebookhitlist.com/profiles/blogs/zealand-jersey

They can have had boots flying in their face like David Beckham but they still love the idea they were coached by him. That’s the biggest honour or accolade you can give to a coach.http://facebookhitlist.com/profiles/blogs/zealand-jerseyhttp://ericweiss.com/IY-Forum/read.php?1,102101

Fittingly Unai Emery’s overture as Arsenal’s head coach was high tempo and demanding. A whirlwind first day began on a transatlantic flight and flipped straight from the red http://www.officialcowboysfootballauthentic.com/COWBOYS-CHARLES-HALEY-JERSEY eye into a burst of meeting, greeting and looking the part in the newly fitted club suit. For the Spaniard first impressions played a big part in his successful audition for the job and he set about making new ones as he introduced himself. The energy he likes to transmit was on show. 
Upstairs in the directors’ box lounge at the Emirates Stadium he tried to expand on what makes him tick. It was evident that the way he will communicate with his players is full on. From the way he spoke – making a determined effort to explain himself in English in his clear, booming voice – to the way he amplified his points with expressive gestures, his eyes darting briskly around the room to try not to miss anything, Emery will be an altogether different kind of presence around the squad. http://www.officialcavaliershop.com/authentic-5-jr-smith-jersey.html Arsène Wenger tended to be more cerebral, more observant, more about guiding someone than pushing him.Emery’s brand of charisma comes across as animated, spirited and direct. 
“I think the most important thing is to connect with people and have those personal http://www.officialathleticshop.com/authentic-43-dennis-eckersley-jersey.html relationships,” Emery said. “Heart to heart, head to head. The heart transmits emotion, the head transmits the intelligence. So it’s really important Kyle Rudolph Authentic Jersey to have that connection both on a personal and collective level. What you are looking for is a shared experience. It’s true that you get the famous egos in football but that is true of top players and players who are not so good. I’m a coach that has come from Ricardo Louis Authentic Jersey second division, gone through to the first division, coached at PSG and now at Arsenal. And really the essence of it all is people.” Emery has begun to study the personalities he will begin to work with over the summer. Arsenal are not overly represented at the World Cup, so he will soon be trying to make those connections with a large proportion of the squad, the vehicle through which he will introduce his philosophy. While paying due respect to the “love for possession” he saw as part of the club’s heritage, he also stresses how his football ideal is also about intensity and pressing. That is another departure from Wenger’s focus on expression with the ball and it will be interesting to see how quickly Emery can effect a stylistic transformation. “I http://www.authenticangelsshop.com/authentic-7-cliff-pennington-jersey.html like to win the ball back as quickly as possible,” he said. “It’s about two things: possession and pressing. “Football is a demanding and difficult sport. What we want to do Authentic Dante Fowler Jr Jersey is not fear any team, either here in the Premier League or in Europe, and our objective is to be among the best and to beat the best. I’m the type of coach who has always worked really hard – not because I do it better than anyone else but because that is what I believe the most important thing is.” He talked about “that desire to be better” like a kind of compulsion, adding: “I’ve never seen anything handed out for free in football.” The 46-year-old looked effortlessly relaxed and confident in himself. He had that air of being comfortable in his own skin that comes with having the balance of experience and motivation to feel sure he can do this job well. When Wenger started at Arsenal (at the same age Emery is now) he described himself as “full of hope, full of belief as well” and Emery Ken Griffey Womens Jersey emits the same vibes. For all the revolution that began when Arsenal last appointed a new manager 22 years ago, a rarity in bringing a foreign manager into the English game, this announcement was a snapshot of how the football landscape has changed. It was an entirely international affair. In London Arsenal were introduced to a man from the Basque country who had been interviewed by a panel of football executives from South Africa, Germany and Spain, having impressed an American owner, to be shown around a stadium named after a Middle Eastern airline on the day the club unveiled record-breaking shirt sleeve sponsors from Rwanda. Emery took it all in his steady stride. He had been in contact with the Arsenal hierarchy while in charge of Paris Saint-Germain, attending the first interview two days after the French Cup final and with two Ligue 1 games remaining (nothing untoward as his departure from the Parc des Princes had been sealed and made public). The three big meetings he had with Arsenal went from strength to strength, making him the unanimous choice. His blend of personality and pedigree, and a willingness to work collaboratively with the head honchos, shone through. Emery has a load more meetings in the diary for the rest of this week where backroom staff and aims for the transfer window are on the agenda. wholesale jerseyscheap jerseys china wholesale nfl jerseys wholesale nfl jerseyscheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys free shipping cheap nfl jerseyscheap jerseys from china

Memories of Dejan Lovren’s last Champions League encounter with Real Madrid and the similarities with Saturday’s final might once have caused him to wince. Today they inspire only belief. “If I see fear in a team-mate’s eyes I will slap him and say: ‘Come on,’” the Liverpool centre-half explains. “But when I look in their eyes now, the young lads and the experienced lads, they are full of confidence. We are not in the final without a reason.” Kiev is an opportunity for Real to see how far Liverpool have come. 
The Spanish club were the European champions with a forward line of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Dennis Rodman Jersey Benzema when they handed Lovren and Liverpool a lesson at Anfield in October 2014. The strikers, two of seven Real players that night who could start in Ukraine, both scored as Brendan Rodgers’ team trailed 3-0 by half-time. Liverpool stemmed that onslaught but it was a hugely underwhelming European campaign that is remembered http://www.officialauthenticchargerstore.com/womens_adrian_phillips_jerseyfor Rodgers surrendering before the return at the Bernabéu, where he put Philippe Coutinho, Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling on the bench in readiness for a league game against Chelsea that also ended in defeat. “The only thing that is similar is the name, Liverpool,” says Lovren, who was omitted from the 1-0 defeat in Madrid. “When you look at the players and everything, we have changed a lot. I think me and [Jordan] Henderson are the only players left who started against them that night at Anfield [Alberto Moreno too]. I am so much more confident in the team now than I was then. I feel the team is ready to battle against every team in the world. We showed that against Man City. Man City showed all throughout this season that they are one of the best teams in the world but they came up against Liverpool. We are a totally different team and nobody played a Trevor Bauer Jersey team like us. Real Madrid didn’t play against us then like we play today. Maybe they are used to this team and they look at images from this game but we are totally different now.” Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool may http://www.official76erstore.com/Joel_Embiid_Jersey have closed the gap in class with Madrid but, as four years ago, Lovren believes Real enter the final as favourites, though the Croatia defender offers the proviso that that mantle is based on recent history, not form. The 28-year-old says: “I prefer that we are the underdogs than the favourites. Even now, in this moment, I would say Real Madrid are the favourite because of their previous experience. You really need to respect a team that has reached the Champions League final three times in four years. We know how hard it is to get to the final – you need to beat everyone and all the best teams to get there and they are not there without a reason. “Do they deserve to be there or not? They won against Juve and they won against Bayern Munich with some decisions that you can talk about but in the end they are still in the final. As some of their players have said, they don’t care how they got there – the most important thing is they got to the final. You don’t need to play the most beautiful football in the final. You just need to win it. And this is how they are doing it.” Few would dispute that Liverpool have played the better and more beautiful football en route to this final. It may not guarantee victory on Saturday but it is why there will be no inferiority complex against a Real team bidding for a third consecutive European crown. “Definitely, definitely,” concurs Lovren when Liverpool’s superior European form is mentioned. “Maybe Bayern Munich against Real Madrid, they played some really nice football, but when you look at the competition in total we definitely deserve to be there. I hope it is our time because from day one up until the final we deserve to be there. Let’s make it beautiful until the end.” Klopp has lost his past five cup finals. “Of course you ask yourself: ‘Is it really possible to lose it again?’” Lovren says. “But in football you never know. When you look at all the teams Klopp has managed they are all really different. Maybe they have a similar style but they are different players. If you asked me a year ago or two years ago, then I would say Real Madrid really deserved to win the Champions League. But when I look at the situation now and look at who plays better, it is definitely Liverpool. Because of how we showed the quality in many games people talk like: ‘You will win it, you will win it.’ Of course it’s not easy to say that but I am really confident we will give everything in the final.”http://aofw.co.uk/simplemachinesforum/index.php?topic=109188.0

While the Duchess of Sussex, Brighton’s newest celebrity fan, opted for a Givenchy wedding dress with boatneck neckline, long sleeves and an even longer train at Saturday’s Royal Wedding, belt and braces were very much in vogue at the day’s other aristocratic event some miles away at Wembley Stadium. Both José Mourinho and Antonio Conte went for an identical, monotonously predictable safety-first approach in Saturday’s FA Cup final, with the latter’s being heavily criticised by the former, who somehow managed to keep a straight face as he mournfully described Chelsea’s tactics as “so predictable”, announced that “I don’t think they deserve to win” and managed to imply Manchester United’s defeat was entirely down to the absence of a Belgian battering-ram in whose direction the ball could be hoofed, if only that battering-ram hadn’t selfishly decided to prioritise participating in the World Cup with his country over trying to win the FA Cup with his club. 
In a further boost to Belgium’s World Cup hopes, José picked Phil Jones ahead of Eric Bailly, having previously claimed he was resting the Ivorian so that other Manchester United players could stake their claim for World Cup starting spots. After performing his latest impression of an ageing shire horse locked in a spinning tumble-dryer while conceding the penalty that decided the match, The Fiver is struggling to shake the feeling that United’s manager might have done the defender more of a favour by picking somebody else instead. While José looks likely to be rewarded for Saturday’s failure with a £150m summer war-chest to buy some defenders of his own choosing, Antonio Conte’s prize for winning his second trophy in as many seasons for Chelsea may well come in the form of a P45, a hefty pay-out and a hobnailed boot towards the Stamford Bridge door marked “Do One”. Having said he has no control over what happens next while simultaneously conveying the impression that he’s not too fussed either, it was left to his players to discuss the Italian’s future. “What I can say is that the players do not have any impact on the situation,” chirped http://49ersauthenticofficialstore.com/carlos-hyde-jersey_c-328.html Gary Cahill, while Willian, a starter of just four full games for Chelsea this season under Conte, tried to prove otherwise courtesy of several http://www.officialredsstore.com/authentic-29-brandon-finnegan-jersey.html – since-deleted – strategically placed emojis. “I once showed Vincent Kompany to his seat. Scotland played Belgium and I was told to show Kompany to his seat and give him a programme. He won’t remember it” – unassuming, Big Cup final-bound Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson gets his chat on with Donald McRae. Read. Yes, it’s our not-singing, not-dancing World Cup Fiver. Out every Thursday lunchtime BST, here’s the latest edition, on the flamin’ sacrosanct Socceroos. Despite some killjoy recently pointing out that if you put worms in a can you’d simply kill the worms [unless you’d provided them with a bespoke oxygen supply inside? – Fiver Ed], Football Weekly discusses José Mourinho opening said cans of said worms. And plenty more. Producing the Guardian’s thoughtful, in-depth journalism Detroit Pistons Authentic Jersey – the stuff not normally found in this email, obviously – is expensive, Authentic Brian Leetch Jersey but supporting us isn’t.

Arsenal have moved to appoint Unai Emery as the successor http://www.officialnetsproshop.com/authentic-24-rondae-hollisjefferson-jersey.html to Arsène Wenger. The club have conducted a thorough recruitment process as they look to replace Wenger – their manager of almost 22 years – who departed at the end of the season and Mikel Arteta had been considered as the favourite for the past week or so. 
However, the signs on Monday were that Emery, the former Paris St-Germain and Sevilla manager, was set Christian Covington Authentic Jersey to be chosen. The club have spoken to him and a decision is expected to be confirmed later in the week. Emery is a safer bet in terms of his experience and, in the end, it is this factor that has swayed the decision of Ivan Gazidis, the Arsenal chief executive, who has led the recruitment drive. Arteta, the former Arsenal player, who is now a member of Pep Guardiola’s coaching staff at Manchester City, has not yet managed a club whereas Emery has been in the business since 2005, when he cut his teeth at Lorca Deportiva in his native Spain. The 46-year-old has gone on to take charge at Almería, Valencia, Spartak Moscow, Sevilla and, most recently, PSG – clubs of mounting profile – and he has impressed Gazidis, even though he is not fluent in English. Emery is happy to work within the management structure that Gazidis has put in place at the Emirates Stadium – in which there are prominent recruitment roles for Raúl Sanllehí and Sven Mislintat. He O. J. Howard Authentic Jersey enjoyed eye-catching success at Sevilla, where he won three consecutive Europa Leagues, and he won the championship at PSG in this past season, although his relative failure in the Champions League, in the shape of a last-16 exit against Real Madrid, cost him his job. He has been replaced by Thomas Tuchel – the one-time Arsenal target. Arteta had a meeting with the Arsenal hierarchy last week and he was confident that Chris Harris Jr Authentic Jersey he would get the job. Guardiola had said he would not stand in Arteta’s way and talks had progressed to the point http://www.officialpittsburghpenguins.com/Adidas-Larry-Murphy-Jersey where the potential make-up of his backroom staff had been discussed. Arteta ticked plenty of boxes for Gazidis, who was looking for somebody to represent the club’s values, including giving youth a chance, and play fast and attractive football. Gazidis had made it clear he was not afraid to make a left-field appointment, noting on the day Wenger’s departure was confirmed that the Frenchman had not been “on many people’s radar screens” in 1996. But Emery, too, ticked the boxes and, crucially, he came to look like less of a gamble. It is understood that Arteta was told his lack of experience came to count against him. Gazidis is not a man synonymous with risk-taking. After careful consideration, analysing each argument from every conceivable angle, he has come to see Emery as the outstanding selection. The new manager is expected to have around £50m, plus money generated from http://www.officialrayshop.com/Chris_Archer_Jersey sales, to spend on reshaping the squad, which is broadly in line with what Wenger was granted, annually, in recent seasons. It is not a lavish budget and it is clear that the new man’s coaching skills will have to be up to scratch from the outset. Santi Cazorla, the Arsenal midfielder, had been linked with a possible player-coach role under Arteta but he has now left the club upon the expiry of his contract. He has not played since he injured his achilles in October 2016, although he remains determined to carry on as a player.http://forum.hry.sk/o-portali-f17/well-done-capitals-win-presidents-trophy-again-jersey-t1666.html?sid=d576d450ce575190b51baeab67d15c13

Arteta had a meeting with the Arsenal hierarchy last week and he was confident that Chris Harris Jr Authentic Jersey he would get the job. Guardiola had said he would not stand in Arteta’s way and talks had progressed to the point http://www.officialpittsburghpenguins.com/Adidas-Larry-Murphy-Jersey where the potential make-up of his backroom staff had been discussed. Arteta ticked plenty of boxes for Gazidis, who was looking for somebody to represent the club’s values, including giving youth a chance, and play fast and attractive football. Gazidis had made it clear he was not afraid to make a left-field appointment, noting on the day Wenger’s departure was confirmed that the Frenchman had not been “on many people’s radar screens” in 1996. But Emery, too, ticked the boxes and, crucially, he came to look like less of a gamble. It is understood that Arteta was told his lack of experience came to count against him. Gazidis is not a man synonymous with risk-taking. After careful consideration, analysing each argument from every conceivable angle, he has come to see Emery as the outstanding selection. The new manager is expected to have around £50m, plus money generated from http://www.officialrayshop.com/Chris_Archer_Jersey sales, to spend on reshaping the squad, which is broadly in line with what Wenger was granted, annually, in recent seasons. It is not a lavish budget and it is clear that the new man’s coaching skills will have to be up to scratch from the outset. Santi Cazorla, the Arsenal midfielder, had been linked with a possible player-coach role under Arteta but he has now left the club upon the expiry of his contract. He has not played since he injured his achilles in October 2016, although he remains determined to carry on as a player.http://forum.hry.sk/o-portali-f17/well-done-capitals-win-presidents-trophy-again-jersey-t1666.html?sid=d576d450ce575190b51baeab67d15c13http://callforservice.ning.com/profiles/blogs/16-million-weeks-to-pay-royal-gold-boy

The semi-final stage of the World Cup has, on balance, not been particularly kind to France. In 1958, the free-scoring team of Just Fontaine and Raymond Kopa were more than holding their own against Brazil until Vavá clattered into the captain Robert Jonquet; as the defender’s leg sailed in an arc across the Stockholm sky, France’s hopes and dreams, in those days before Authentic Michael Lorenzen Jerseysubstitutes, departed with it. In 1986, Les Bleus faced West Germany with star man Michel Platini only half-fit; the rest of the team failed to turn up until the last 10 minutes or so, by which time it was far too late. Even when the French finally won a semi, against Croatia in 1998, the popular defensive lynchpin Laurent Blanc got himself suspended for the final – unluckily and yet foolishly – by needlessly waving his arms near the face of Slaven Bilic, asking for the trouble that would soon be delivered to him in spades. 
But nothing comes close to 1982. Nothing Authentic Earl Thomas Jersey will ever come close to 1982. The 1982 World Cup semi-final between France and West Germany at Sevilla’s Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán is remembered – not solely, but mainly – for the most outrageous and notorious foul in World Cup history. Forget Werner Liebrich on Ferenc Puskas, Mario David on Leonel Sánchez, Luís Pereira on Johan Neeskens, Benjamin Massing on Claudio Caniggia, Mauro Tassotti on Luis Enrique, or even Zinedine Zidane on Marco Materazzi. In the 57th minute of this match, French captain Platini noticed a sizable gap between the West German defenders Manni Kaltz and Uli Stielike, with Patrick Battiston racing into it, and stroked a pass of insouciant majesty into his team-mate’s path. Battiston, clear on goal with only the outrushing http://www.texansfootballsprostore.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_JON_WEEKS_JERSEY.htmlGerman keeper Toni Schumacher to beat, was first to a ball that was sitting up almost perfectly. At which point … … well, more of that anon. Perhaps the most unfortunate aspect of what was about to unfold – though Battiston and his dental surgeon will doubtless disagree – is that an infamous act of brutal cynicism to this day casts a long, dark shadow across a match which really should be principally remembered as one of the greatest, most dramatic and entertaining World Cup encounters of all time. A back-and-forth, six-goal, bona fide thriller between two teams packed with top-drawer talent performing at full pelt, it’s right up there with a select bunch of Coupe du Monde classics: arguably only the 1950 Maracanaço “final”, the 1954 Hungary-Uruguay semi, and the sun-kissed stunner served up by Italy and Brazil in Barcelona a mere three days before this fixture have ever bettered it. And yet. “We had played one of the two best games in the tournament,” recalled the hugely likeable West German winger Pierre Littbarski long after the dust had settled, “and it was very good publicity for German football.” Cue deep sigh. “Or it would have been.” The way most of it panned out, it certainly should have been. Not that a story for the ages was guaranteed to be told. Easy to forget now, but neither team had particularly impressed en route to the semis. France were 33-1 outsiders at the start of the competition, and for a while it looked like the bookies knew exactly what they were talking about. Michel Hidalgo’s side could hardly have begun their campaign in a more abject fashion, falling a goal behind after 27 seconds to an England side which had only just scraped through qualifying and were notoriously goal-shy. That match was comprehensively lost 3-1, and France only scraped through the first group stage after beating the minnows of Kuwait 4-1, then drawing 1-1 with Czechoslovakia – the latter result only secured thanks to a last-minute clearance off the line by Manuel Amoros. (Czechoslovakia’s goal, incidentally, was scored by Antonin Panenka, in what would be his last international match. Could it have been anything other than a penalty?) France then found themselves in the easiest of the four second-round groups, lumped in with Austria and Northern Ireland, but even then the meal they made of progress would have put Auguste Escoffier to shame. Despite thoroughly dominating the Austrians, they could only win by a single goal, and while they rolled over the Northern Irish 4-1 to make the last four, things may have panned out differently had Martin O’Neill’s early http://www.officialtigerstore.com/Willie_Horton_Jersey strike not been preposterously disallowed. West Germany, second favourites from the outset behind Brazil, had somehow managed to be even worse. The first group stage was a heady cocktail of debacle and disgrace: Authentic Keith Kinkaid Jersey a hubristic defeat to Algeria after promising to dedicate “the seventh goal to our wives http://www.officialbuffalosabres.com/Adidas-Evan-Rodrigues-Jersey and the eighth to our dogs”, followed swiftly by the shameful and depressing “Anschluss” pact with Austria. German efforts in the second group stage didn’t particularly win over the crowds either: a goalless grind with England, then the clinical win over the hosts Spain. wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys from china wholesale jerseys from china wholesale jerseys

The fitness of Romelu Lukaku is José Mourinho’s sole matter of concern as the Manchester United manager prepares for the FA Cup final against Chelsea in unusually serene mood. 
Lukaku will be http://www.officialbullsonlinestore.com/Authentic-John-Paxson-Jersey given until “the last moment” to prove his fitness, according to his coach, after the striker missed the last three games of the league season with an ankle injury. Mourinho also confirmed David de Gea will start in goal ahead of Sergio Romero in a break from the policy that meant the Argentinian started in Cup competitions. Mourinho will face off against his former club at Wembley after a season marked by vituperative exchanges between himself and his opposite number, Antonio Conte. But speaking from United’s FA Cup base in the Hertfordshire countryside, the Portuguese noted only that he was “curious” about Conte’s future. “Anthony Martial is fit and Lukaku – we will have to wait till the last moment,” Mourinho said of his injured players. “I don’t want to lie to you and say Lukaku doesn’t play, then he plays, or vice versa. We will have to wait on Lukaku. “De Gea starts. It’s not about my trust or confidence in Sergio. Sergio was injured for a long, long time. He didn’t play some matches that normally would be his matches, like his http://www.officialraysshop.com/authentic-20-steven-souza-jersey.html semi-final against Tottenham. He trained really only one week before the Watford match and that’s the reason. Last season I played the Europa League final with Sergio and that was a much more important match than this one because it gave us the possibility to play Champions League.” After finishing second behind Manchester City in the table United have guaranteed Champions League football next season. While winning the FA Cup would undoubtedly add lustre to a season that has met with mixed reviews Mourinho says it will not alter his own verdict of what his players have achieved. Chelsea come to Wembley in desperate need of a fillip after Richard Rodgers Womens Jersey finishing outside the top four. Conte is almost certain to depart in the summer and it is perhaps this disparity between their positions that left Mourinho able to be diplomatic. “I honestly still don’t know what Antonio’s situation is,” Mourinho said when asked if he had sympathy for his opposite number. “I didn’t read him saying that he was leaving, and for me that’s the most important thing. So I don’t know if it’s Antonio’s last match. “Of course, sometimes I read that somebody is coming, Luis Enrique is coming, the other is coming, but until it is official that Antonio leaves I don’t Ryane Clowe Womens Jersey know. I’m curious about it but whether tomorrow is his last match or not, it will not change his approach to the game and his desire to make it good.” On the subject of Chelsea’s fans, Mourinho praised their support of him during his two periods at Stamford Bridge. Chants of “Judas” were directed at Kevin Dodd Womens Jersey Mourinho at Stamford Bridge in last year’s FA Cup, a match United lost 1-0. But the 55-year-old insisted he had never had a bad word to say about Blues fans. You don’t have any quotes from me with negative words about Chelsea supporters, not one word‚“ Mourinho said. “The only thing I say in relation to them is that since my first day in 2004 until my last day when I was sacked a couple of years ago, they were with me unconditionally. They supported me every day. They supported me every match. I will never forget it because they did what I think great supporters do, which is to support their manager unconditionally until the last day.” cheap jerseys cheap jerseys free shipping wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys
