Arteta, Ten Hag and Guardiola press conferences and more: football news – live | Sport

If, like me, you are attempting to maintain abreast of the pathetic makes an attempt of the golfers you backed to make the minimize, Scott Murray’s Masters reside weblog is at all times nicely value a learn:

Oliver Glasner, the Crystal Palace supervisor, says that Premier League survival is of their arms earlier than Sunday’s journey to Anfield:

“It’s as much as us to get the factors we want … I don’t know what number of will probably be … however it’s as much as us,” Glasner mentioned. “If we don’t get one level to the top of the season, and 30 factors means relegation, then it’s our fault.

“We will’t blame anyone else … what does it want that we get the factors that we win video games? Generally we’re shut … It’s as much as us, it’s our job to get these factors, to extend our efficiency for the entire interval of the sport. After which, we received’t get relegated.”

You possibly can’t say fairer than that. Palace are 14th, with 30 factors as Glasner talked about, and simply 5 factors forward of 18th-placed Luton.

Within the WSL, the plot thickens on Emma Hayes v Jonas Eidevall.

Chelsea’s Hayes has spoken to the media after her Arsenal counterpart, Jonas Eidevall, mentioned her feedback had been “irresponsible” following the Gunners’ 1-0 win within the Continental League Cup final the weekend earlier than final.

“[I said to my son] You possibly can’t meet aggression with aggression. All you are able to do is inform the instructor … all you are able to do is clarify to the instructor and clarify why you suppose one thing is unfair,” Hayes mentioned. “You can not meet aggression with aggression …”

Requested a second query in regards to the controversy, Hayes merely quotes some poetry by Robert Frost:

“So when at occasions the mob is swayed,
To hold reward or blame too far,
We could select one thing like a star,
To remain our minds on and be staid.”

To the following query Hayes says: “I’ve had a unbelievable break … my focus is on transferring forwards. And I’ve had time to have a look at my “star”.

When it’s talked about that Eidevall referred to as Hayes’s feedback irresponsible, the Chelsea supervisor merely replies: “I don’t have an opinion on it.”

Thanks loads Dominic. Whats up everybody. Right here’s a line from the busy individuals on the Press Affiliation, and a few harm information from Scotland:

Celtic may very well be with out Daizen Maeda through the title run-in after the Japan worldwide suffered a hamstring harm. The large participant will miss Saturday’s Premiership contest with St Mirren whereas the injury is assessed.

Brendan Rodgers mentioned: “He picked up an harm excessive up in his hamstring, his tendon, so we must see what that appears like within the coming weeks. However he’s actually not accessible for the weekend.

“We are going to see the place it goes within the subsequent week or so after which we’ll perceive higher what inclusion he may have between now and the top of the season. Liam Scales has picked up a slight pressure in his abductor so the chances are high that he received’t be concerned.”

With Luis Palma absolutely match after a calf drawback and Nicolas Kuhn settling in, Rodgers performed down the potential lack of Maeda.

“He has finished unbelievable for us and was very, excellent final weekend,” he mentioned. “However whether it is to be, and he’s out, there might be a possibility there for another person to come back into the sport. What he brings, the depth and urgent, in fact that’s huge for us. Nevertheless it’s a possibility for different gamers to step up.”

Proper, that’s my energy hour finished and I’ll hand again to Luke McLaughlin for the remainder of the day. Get pleasure from.

‘Supplies an replace’ is an actual stretch right here, guys.

Need extra from from Gary O’Neil’s VAR diatribe? After all you do.

I’ve spent an terrible lots of time speaking to [PGMOL chief] Howard Webb about offside and I’ve tried to clarify my considerations.

I’ve spent lots of my Sundays talking to Howard, giving him my views on it and the way it may be improved. Hopefully that is a part of the advance.

I assume if he sees one thing in our recreation and he sees my title pop up on his cellphone it may be, ‘oh, do I’ve to take this one’.

I’m positive he has pressed the pink button just a few occasions, however he’s at all times open and trustworthy and that’s all I ask.

Velocity dial is the incorrect approach to put it, I’m joyful to talk to Howard as he’s joyful to talk to me.

OLLIE WATKINS is trending on X proper now (capitals included), presumably as a result of he’s been so rattling good this season, each by way of scoring and creating targets.

There’s barely a membership within the Premier League that hasn’t been via its personal harm disaster this season.

Brighton now have 9 gamers unavailable for his or her journey to Burnley, with Tariq Lamptey becoming a member of their harm record.

In the meantime, Marcus Tavernier, Antoine Semenyo, Chris Mepham, Tyler Adams and Ryan Fredericks are all out for Bournemouth as they put together to host Manchester United. Andoni Iraola mentioned: “It’s powerful when somebody like Tav [Tavernier] will get a muscle harm and is out for 4 or 5 video games. However it’s one thing that’s taking place to the entire groups and we’ve to simply accept it.”

Again to press convention waffle now and Ange Postecoglou believes Newcastle’s struggles signify one thing of a warning to his Spurs aspect.

Eddie Howe’s boys haven’t discovered it plain crusing this season regardless of qualifying for the Champions League and Huge Ange has been vocal not too long ago in reiterating that ending within the prime 4 (or 5) will not be the top recreation in itself.

Actually there’s a cautionary story there that stepping into Champions League additionally means higher calls for. Calls for on gamers, calls for on the squad and you must be equipped for it or else it may well have an effect on all elements of your season.

It has been powerful on Newcastle this 12 months as a result of the progress final 12 months was unbelievable, the reward for that was Champions League and this 12 months for no matter motive it has made it a very difficult season on all fronts for them.

How a lot golf equipment paid to brokers in 23/24

Manchester United are usually not an excellent soccer crew, however they’re a soccer crew that scores excellent targets.

Marcus Rashford’s Manchester derby howitzer has been named the Premier League’s aim of the month for March. Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo have beforehand received the award this season.

Let’s get again to that Gary O’Neil rant that Luke talked about. Wolves have felt hard-done-by within the VAR stakes this season, with their chairman Jeff Shi releasing a statement condemning the officers final weekend. Wolves had been denied a late equaliser in opposition to West Ham by a contentious VAR name for offside.

That is what O’Neil had so as to add to that, in addition to his ideas on dealing with FA costs for his ‘behaviour round match officers’:

It’s in all probability greatest for me to not touch upon the cost till the method is full. Then I’ll be joyful to debate brazenly from what has gone on from the begin to the end. It’s greatest for me to not talk about the cost.

I feel you’ll be able to really feel [VAR frustration] nationally in the entire of the league, there was lots of disappointment and frustration with how selections have gone.

It’s not all unhealthy. There was some actually good calls, however not solely at Wolves. There’s a drive from everybody for the usual to enhance.

Thanks Luke, joyful to be right here. And there’s a lot extra Premier League supervisor press convention patter to placate you till your Friyay beers.

I’m off for a sandwich, and Dominic Sales space is right here to information you thru the following whereas.

“It’s an enormous problem at the very best of occasions, going right here,” says Luton’s supervisor, Rob Edwards, of his injury-depleted aspect’s go to to Manchester Metropolis. “However the gamers have been nice, the gamers which are accessible have been wonderful, for them to have given us what they’ve been giving us over the previous month or so when it’s actually powerful, they deserve a lot credit score. They usually’re going to ship once more tomorrow, I do know that. What I can’t assure is a victory, or any type of factors.”

“Circumstances had been good and are nonetheless good.”

That sounds good, Erik.

Ten Hag will ‘miss the help’ of Murtough

O’Neil of Wolves has simply embarked on a protracted speech about refereeing requirements, VAR and the like. I’ll see if I can kind up the “greatest” bits.

If anybody else has something to say football-wise, be happy to ship your ideas on email.

The Wolves supervisor, Gary O’Neil, is having a chat now.

Almost about his FA cost for criticising the officers after final week’s loss to West Ham, he says it’s greatest if he doesn’t remark till the method is full. Very wise too.

“By no means thoughts all of your Premier League-centric stuff, there’s stuff occurring elsewhere this weekend, and nowhere extra so than the world’s bitchingest League, THE CHAMPIONSHIP !!!!!!” emails Jeremy Boyce.

It’s good to see the smoke coming off my keyboard will not be in useless. Joyful to be of service as at all times.

“It’s tighter than a duck’s whatnot within the prime three,” continues Jeremy. “All of whom have proven indicators of stress the final week or so, whereas Saints appear to have come via their sticky patch and are again on observe. There are video games in hand, there are factors within the bag. Leeds fan spoiler alert : Sir Don was at all times a “factors within the bag” man, placing the stress on the others to maintain up. He had some extent, finish of season fatigue + a number of stress isn’t at all times the very best recipe for achievement. So with Leicester in motion tonight, and all the opposite prime 4 tomorrow, there might be shredded nerves, bitten fingernails and scuffed probabilities a-go-go. Hooray for the Not-The-Premier-League!”

Semi-automated offsides. Is the Spurs boss Ange Postecogou for it? “Yeah. I don’t know loads about it. But when they make selections faster and clearer – yeah, all for it.”

Tottenham face Newcastle tomorrow at St James’ Park at 12.30pm. A query rapidly arrives about factors deductions, cash, and profitability and sustainability guidelines.

“We’re taking place this rabbit gap once more are we? We did this final week …

“I mentioned final week there’s acquired to be some regulation round a security internet for golf equipment, to verify they don’t overspend for their very own good. There’s acquired to be a aggressive steadiness inside that … however not on the expense of the standard we are attempting to provide in the very best league on this planet … from my perspective I’ll go away that to the blokes who know higher.”

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg impressed off the bench within the win over Forest final Sunday and was congratulated by the supervisor on the pitch at full-time: “Yeah he was good. I attempt to get to all of the gamers [after the game]. A few of them hold round longer than others and I typically I’ve to chase them down the tunnel …

“Pierre and Rodri [Bentancur] approaching actually helped us final week … it wanted one thing somewhat bit completely different than what we had. “Biss” and Pape [Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr] did nicely sufficient within the first half and labored actually exhausting.

“I felt the place the sport was at, and the way in which Forest had been establishing … having Pierre and Rodri in there along with his passing vary.

“It labored nicely. Pierre’s been good. He’s not began as many video games in all probability as he’d like. We’re in place in the mean time, the place we’ve a squad the place I could make these adjustments in video games, or between video games.”

Has Postecoglou watched the sport again from final season, when Spurs went 5-0 down early doors and misplaced 6-1?

“No, I haven’t watched the sport again. There’s no motive to, for me. Yeah. It’ll be a troublesome recreation. I don’t suppose the 12.30 kick-off will [make any difference] … we’re leaving right this moment and have had good preparation for it. It’s a troublesome recreation.

“They’re clearly going via a troublesome time themselves by way of accidents. Most likely they’ve been damage for a extra extended interval. Notably at house they’re nonetheless an excellent aspect.

“The gang offers them lots of vitality … we’re going to should match that vitality tomorrow and that’s how we wish to play our soccer as nicely. By bringing our personal vitality to it, hopefully we will overcome the problem.”

Arteta seems contemporary, relaxed, assured and utterly in management.

In his press convention, Guardiola seemed like he was shedding the need to reside, however I suppose there’s nothing new there relating to his Friday brushes with the fourth property.

How defining will the following couple of weeks be for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta?

“Proportion sensible?” Arteta asks. “Very! For positive. We will be in no competitions [after two weeks] … We will be within the semi-finals of the Champions League or prime of the Premier League, or not. Each recreation goes to outline what our future seems like.”

“It’s the one factor doable to have a look at one recreation, and sooner or later … that’s the one factor you’ll be able to management.”

Eidevall: Hayes feedback had been “very irresponsible”

The Chelsea gaffer Mauricio Pochettino is requested about accidents, and the information that Ben Chilwell is nearing health earlier than Monday’s go to of Everton. “It’s not solely him we had been lacking,” Pochettino factors out. “However sure, “Chilly” is in partial coaching right this moment, and we’ll see if he will be on the bench for Monday. It’s excellent news.”

However there’s worse information on Enzo Fernández and and Axel Disasi?

“We’ll see. They’re below evaluation. They’ve completely different kind of points … we don’t imagine huge points. We’ll see if they are often accessible. In the meanwhile they aren’t coaching with the group. We don’t know if they are often concerned on Monday.”

Has Pochettino skilled a worse season for accidents?

“It’s true it’s a “particular” season. We had been struggling loads … I must cease speaking [about injuries]. Individuals are ready for me to speak … it’s so boring … they know we’re going to speak about that.

“We have to settle for the truth and be constructive … with the younger youngsters we’ve who got here via the academy, we’re going to attempt to win the sport Monday … If one thing occurs [with injuries] we’ve to simply accept we’ll practice with younger guys … they’ll step up and present their high quality … they are often good gamers and supply for Chelsea.

“When that scenario occurs one other door might be open. It’s good for the youngsters to have the chance to coach with us.”

Pochettino is requested about final weekend’s 2-2 draw in opposition to Sheffield United, and he says he acquired the message incorrect after the sport when talking to the media.

“I feel I should be extra cautious about my phrases after the sport additionally. I must adapt a distinct message … to attempt to enhance this week. We should be extra constructive. We have to settle for it’s the truth … typically I give my emotions.

“We now have a very good squad. That’s the actuality. We have to work exhausting to help them and to carry out higher within the subsequent recreation. I’m actually joyful in the way in which they had been coaching. I hope we will have an excellent recreation Monday.”

Guardiola: Busy Metropolis schedule places them in “huge, huge hassle”

Thanks John. Whats up everybody. Pep Guardiola is talking now … quotes to comply with shortly.

Proper, that’s my morning on the weblog accomplished. The estimable Luke McLaughlin takes the reins from right here.

Barney Ronay reminds that the summer time’s Euro finals are being performed amid the fug of a continental land conflict.

It’s value noting that Slovakia are usually not alone in providing a Russia-facing presence at these Euros. Hungary maintains fond relations. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is planning his subsequent assembly with Putin (strongman to strongman: it’s sophisticated). Intriguingly, it may have been Belarus as an alternative of Romania in Group E had qualifying gone in a different way, obliging Ukraine to play in opposition to a nation that willingly assisted the invasion of its borders. Unite within the coronary heart of Europe! Or one thing.

Vincent Kompany says his Burnley crew don’t really need a miracle to remain up. They play Brighton tomorrow. “High quality margins”: the phrase of the season?

“I wouldn’t name it a miracle, however it wants wins, it wants factors. We’re not essentially capable of stay up for any recreation and choose and select, say ‘this recreation is the one’. Each recreation is hard for us.

“However each recreation provides the chance. We don’t additionally take a look at any recreation as a recreation the place we will’t win. What we want is that distinction (from) what we’ve had this season – when you’ve got efficiency you must have three factors.

“It’s been fantastic margins so many occasions. It’s been such a season the place in the beginning I feel we discovered it, speaking very early doorways, troublesome to adapt rapidly, however for some time now we’ve been in each recreation. It’s simply the frustration, what it’s been this season, is after a recreation to really feel like we may have finished extra.

“What I need to add is that – and that was my frustration in all probability with my over-reaction at occasions with the officers as nicely – there have been occasions the place it’s been our personal fault, our personal errors, and typically it’s not been our fault, and that’s unlucky.”

Congratulations, Rodrigo Muniz, Premier League participant of the month.

There’s lots of blame being slung round for this. And it has felt like Rangers have been doing fairly nicely in European soccer lately.

West Ham had been one other Europa League casualty although that was little shock by the hands of Europe’s most in-form crew.

David Moyes had this to say afterwards:

“We’re nonetheless within the tie and we’ve half an opportunity within the second leg. We’d wish to have performed extra attacking. The gamers did an excellent job with the construction. We acquired finished by two corner-kicks. The second was actually poor from our standpoint.

“Let’s attempt to get one after which see if we will get two. We’ll choose ourselves up for subsequent week and hopefully get the gang behind us.

“This crew we’re enjoying might be Champions League subsequent 12 months. We now have to recognise what we’re enjoying in opposition to. We’ll should do exceptionally nicely to get that outcome.”

This transfer basically paywalls the EFL past the attain of those that don’t want to pay for Sky. Will there be a highlights present? This has the texture of the cricket deal finished in 2005 that closed off entry to the sport.

Additionally, what time are the kick-offs? The EFL is at the moment the house of the Saturday 3pm, however maybe not now. Maybe that is progress, however it seems like the cash was taken forward of a higher good.

Excellent news right here on Frida Maanum, who collapsed when enjoying for Arsenal final week within the Continental Cup closing.

Eddie Howe is first up of the PL managers. He’s celebrating Joelinton signing a brand new contract:

“I am going again to my first coaching session [at Newcastle] – I genuinely thought ‘what a participant he’s’. I noticed a participant immensely gifted and I used to be conscious it hadn’t gone nicely [before Howe arrived].

“When it comes to Joelinton’s place, I’m not going to alter historical past and say I noticed his transition from a ahead to midfielder initially, however he has taken that chance fantastically nicely.

“I do know at earlier golf equipment he has performed a deeper function. That transition comes about enjoying in England with the pace and energy [of the game].

“You must adapt once you come from overseas – he’s sturdy and every part you need him to be. He is sort of a brick wall. Partially, that has made him the participant he’s.”

Not an amazing week for Everton, although a win final weekend and a two-point deduction meant it was not all unhealthy. It may have been worse within the eyes of many, and an additional penalty could but come.

Nonetheless, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored a aim.

A nasty factor to occur to the Kane household however fortunately the information is nice.

Everton information, and it’s hardly ever excellent news, is it? This time, it’s information on the supply of their financing loans, and a reputation acquainted to horse racing followers, Michael Tabor, has come up.

Everton, a founder member of the Soccer League and the Premier League, is now believed to owe more than £500m to third-party lenders. Many of the curiosity costs reported in its annual report seem to narrate to about £225m of debt constructed up with the membership’s largest lender Rights & Media Funding (RMF). About £23m in curiosity was paid by the membership in its final monetary 12 months and greater than £7m within the two earlier years.

And a few response to final night time.

Let’s kick it off within the ordinary means, with 10 issues to look out for this weekend.

Preamble
