TOKYO, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Yokohama Marinos eased past title rivals FC Tokyo 3-0 on Saturday to clinch their first J. League trophy since 2004. Yokohama, led by former Australia head coach Ange Postecoglou, dominated from the start and took a 2-0 lead into halftime courtesy of Thai defender Theeratorn Bunmathan’s deflected effort and Brazilian forward Erik’s neat finish.
I remember two days later Keown saying to me 'that was your fault' and I'm a 19-year-old kid, in my first final, thinking I'd done alright and trying to get over the desolation of thinking I might never play in a final again. He says to me 'when that ball goes out you have to find a man, don't mark space'. So I got a rollicking but it is something I learned and took into games after that. I always had these mentors, either telling me not to get ahead of myself or to keep my head up.
Imagine the scene - your team are 8-0 up at half-time against your big cross-town rivals in the highlight of your festive fixture list. But, rather than battle it out, your opponents decide they would rather go home than come out for the second half. Well, that is exactly what happened in Abingdon on Saturday as the Oxfordshire town's big game between Abingdon Town and Abingdon United ended in bizarre circumstances.
What an incredible performance for a young player. He was a calm head in that first five or 10 minutes. He's a throwback of a midfielder. Can you put your foot in? Yes. Can you make angles to play the passes? Yes. He's only slight in stature but he's huge in personality. He deserves people to talk about him after a performance like that.

We’re confident that both teams will score in Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Feyenoord have a good record against their hosts, only losing one of the pairs’ last twelve encounters in all competitions, and of late the visitors’ have looked more consistent than they did earlier in the season and with four draws on the road already, we feel Sunday’s clash will also end in a stalemate.

Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette has scored 25 of his 32 Premier League goals at the Emirates Stadium.
This is third match from Belarusian Reserve league and new duel where I will just bet on goals and enjoy in this duel, because I think it will be few streams for this match. Vitebsk Reserves is team who is playing very efficient, similar like their rival. They are in last round lost 0-4, but in match before that one, they are won 4-1. Rival is playing also very efficient, and in last two duels, they are played 2-3 and 1-2. Yes, over is ok for me and I will try that. It is very real and ok to try.
Adelaide United W will host Perth Glory W for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, this will be tough match for both sides. Both teams are one of the main outsiders in this campaign. Both teams have a very poor results at the start of the new season. Of course, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. However, Adelaide Utd W have a very vulnerable team. They have five consecutive losses. Also, we have Perth Glory W who's is also weak team. No doubt, the visitors have a very difficult task on the road. Nevertheless, they have a chance against this poor opponent. My pick - Perth Glory W to win.

Give black coaches, not just coaches but people in their respective fields, the right opportunity.

There's something like 500 players in the Premier League and a third of them are black and we have no representation of us in the hierarchy, no representation of us in the coaching staffs.

This is actually the only game from Wednesday in this country from the total of 3 games offered that I suggest highly taken, the other two I would suggest Merw(+1.5)AH at current odds of 2.05 and Sagadam under 2.5 goals at 1.53, both odds at same bookie that I am writing this pick on Bet365 who has the best odds at this moment on all 3 games.

You know Arsenal better than me - explain to them what they need to do and how. Arteta had well and truly arrived. Principled and strong-minded - a first step to success? Arteta took Santi Cazorla under his wing at ArsenalThat knowledge of Arsenal is undoubtedly one of the factors which attracted the club's board to appoint him and he will need every bit of experience gained from his time with Guardiola because, in a nutshell, so much of the team needs changing.
As we all know, football is a funny old game, so it wouldn't be at all surprising if after beating the league leaders, Oxford went out a lost to a side that has struggled massively on the road this term. That said, when we take everything into account, the hosts are simply too difficult to oppose. Specifically, 'Oxford to Win & Under 3.5 Goals' stands out. Lincoln's lack of goals on the road (and in general of late) is a problem given that Oxford have been excellent at home, conceding zero goals in their last six at Kassam, five of which they've won. They've scored plenty at the other end but are yet to score more than three at home. If we consider this in conjunction with the above and the fact that Lincoln, despite losing two thirds of their away games, don't often get battered, a low-scoring home win appeals.
