Obviously, it's Diego Maradona. It was a big blessing for me, because half of the player I am is down to him. When you are young, and playing and training with a player like that, you get so many insights and things that can improve the game. I cannot tell you how many times in training we had to stop and clap him. Some of the things that used to come out from him were incredible. You were always one step behind.

I was told by my county manager to get out so we just didn’t have time. One thing which could have given the club more time was a big transfer fee. Williams was offered a three-and-a-half-year deal by Celtic - and was told the Scottish giants had bid £150,000 for him - only one week before the end of Sporting Fingal. I presumed everything at the club was all right if they were able to reject that offer,” Williams, who went on to join MK Dons as a free agent, said.

Rangers desperately need a win here to try and keep up the pace with Celtic, but they face a Hearts side that also needs 3 points to keep away from the relegation zone. We're going to back Rangers to win to nil, as the Jambos poor goalscoring record away from home, especially in recent weeks, makes it hard for them to opt for a goal- especially as Rangers have the second-best defensive record in the league, conceding 8 in their 13 games so far and have won 8 of their last 9 matches. We're also going for a final score of 3-0 to the Light Blues, as they've bagged an average of 3 goals at home and have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 games.

Sometimes it's frustrating when a crowd is throwing coins at me or throwing drinks at me, obviously saying racist things to me and making chants about my mother which is obviously very offensive.

It was a poor performance all round. It is what it is. We can't make many changes because of the injuries we have. We accept we have had a tough time with injuries so we will be as strong as we can be. Oxford United manager Karl Robinson speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It's incredible.

Paper Round’s view: The FA need to properly scrutinise all new owners given the farce that surrounded Bury, and a few other lower league clubs that have not been properly managed. Charlton are another club to suffer from poor ownership, so it is right that the proper checks are done now to make sure another desperate situation is not repeated in a couple of years.

LONDON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - If Leeds United seem nervous that their Premier League promotion bid will unravel as it has done so often, their jitters were embodied by Kiko Casilla's blunder in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Brentford in the Championship. On a cold evening at the ramshackle Griffin Park, the former Real Madrid goalkeeper failed to control a pass from a team mate, missing the ball completely then falling over as striker Said Benrahma pounced.
Joe Lolley's early long-range strike had looked to be enough to settle the match and take the Reds up to third in the Championship and within four points of the top two.

The result left Leicester in second place in the standings on 38 points from 16 games, eight adrift of runaway leaders Liverpool and six ahead of third-placed champions Manchester City.

Lawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests.

Olympic football is usually restricted to under-23 teams for the men's tournament, with three overage players allowed per team.

Kane's quick opener set the tone and even from that point it looked as though Burnley would struggle to come away from north London with anything other than defeat.
