Craig Hope has revealed how many Newcastle United fans may be allowed in St. James’ Park by the start of October in his latest piece for the Daily Mail.

According to the journalist, it is hoped that significantly more than a third of the 52,000 capacity will be allowed back into the stadium once it is given the approval of the Premier League.

The Tyneside club have also sounded out corporate box holders about returning to the ground on October 3rd, with other teams from the top flight becoming more and more confident that supporters will be allowed back into their stadiums from next month.

Those private boxes will be allowed a capacity of 50 per cent in each room which have been used to house media since the beautiful game returned after being locked down due to the global pandemic outbreak.

The season-ticket holders in the North East may also be put on long-term payment plans in the wider picture to try and get as many fans back in St. James’ park as possible for the new 2020/21 term.

This should come as good news to those members of the Toon Army who are desperate to get back into the stadium to watch their team play and go back to some sort of normality.

Of course, the safety of the NUFC fans remains the top priority, but it will surely come as a much welcomed relief that the supporters may be allowed back into the ground in just over a month’s time.

أكد العميد أحمد المهدي مدير الكرة بطلائع الجيش، موافقة ناديه على رحيل حسين السيد لاعب الظهير الأيسر، إلى صفوف بيراميدز خلال الانتقالات الجارية.

وكان بيراميدز قد ضم هشام محمد لصفوف الفريق في صفقة انتقال حر لمدة موسمين طالع التفاصيل.

وأوضح المهدي أن بيراميدز حصل على موافقة النادي ببيع حسين السيد وتسلمهم الاستغناء الخاص باللاعب، الذي تألق بقميص عدد من فرق الدوري المصري، منهم الأهلي والإسماعيلي وطلائع الجيش ونادي هويدي (مصر المقاصة سابقًا).

وشارك حسين السيد خلال الموسم الماضي مع الإسماعيلي على سبيل الإعارة، تحت قيادة إيهاب جلال المدير الفني الحالي لبيراميدز.

ومن المقرر أن يتم الإعلان الرسمي عن صفقة انتقال اللاعب لبيراميدز خلال ساعات.

يُذكر أن طلائع الجيش قد حصل على خدمات عمر جابر لاعب بيراميدز لمدة موسم على سبيل الإعارة.

Former Leeds and Middlesbrough striker Noel Whelan has cast doubt on Steve Bruce’s future as Newcastle manager in comments made to Football Insider.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Bruce admitted that he is “in the dark” over the prospective takeover at St James’ Park but insisted that he would “love to be part of it” if the proposed deal is successful.

However, Whelan believes that the would-be owners will already have big plans in place for the Tyneside club and that a decision will have already been made over the 59-year-old. He said of Bruce:

“He knows his job isn’t concrete, that’s what I think he knows. There are big plans for Newcastle, there’s a lot of exciting names being bandied about players who might come into the club.

“Who wouldn’t want to be the manager taking over a Gareth Bale or Edison Cavani, all these players being tipped to come in. Who wouldn’t think they wouldn’t do very well? I think I’d do very well as well and I’ve got no managerial experience! It’s like going into Harrods with a blank chequebook, it’s fantastic, you’d love it, you’d have great fun.

“I think he knows his job is under pressure, Pochettino’s one that seems to be the favourite and the thing is its kind of out of his hands. The thing is he’s got to finish the season as well as he can possibly can for his own sake because it’s his club that he supports.

“If it’s not going to be him, he’s going to walk away with his head held high. It’s out of his hands, the new owners will make that decision if not already made that decision. I think they will have already realised and made a decision on Steve Bruce’s future.”

It is perhaps fair to say that Bruce has guided the Magpies in a relatively decent season so far, as they sit rather comfortably in 13th place in the Premier League table on 35 points at the moment, eight points above the relegation zone with nine games left for them to play, as per BBC. They are also still in the FA Cup with a home match against Manchester City still left to play, assuming that competition does eventually resume.

In 35 games in all competitions this campaign, Bruce’s side have won 12, drawn 10 and lost 13, scoring 39 goals and conceding 52, according to Transfermarkt.

However, despite his respectable return, Bruce may be asked to make way by the new owners and Whelan believes that his fate may have already been sealed. Granted, the Englishman is technically not their appointment, and so the Saud-led consortium may be looking for a fresh new face to take charge of the Toon in time for the next term – if their bid to take over from current owner Mike Ashley eventually goes through.

Geordies, how do you think Bruce has fared this season? Comment below with your views!

O técnico Artur Jorge refutou qualquer possibilidade dos jogadores estarem abalados mentalmente após o Botafogo deixar a liderança do Campeonato Brasileiro. O treinador tem ciência da distância encurtada para os adversários, mas não enxerga o time desesperado em campo.

➡️ Pedro Certezas vai à loucura com empate do Botaofogo: ‘Mais um mole’

– Sejamos realistas, nas últimas seis jornadas, não conseguimos vencer as últimas três, sabendo que tem mais três pela frente. E isso tem impacto, o fato de não ganhar permite que os adversários encurtem a distância. Mas isso não abala e não faz com que estejamos desesperados em campo. As duas expulsões que tivemos em campo, a terceira (de Luiz Henrique) foi fora de campo, foram diretamente ligadas ao jogo. Mas o fato de, nos últimos nove pontos, fazermos três tem impacto. É difícil para quem luta por títulos aceitar isso. Nós precisamos perceber que dependemos de nós próprios. Não fiquei satisfeito, obviamente. Mas tenho que ver o lado positivo. Não é bom porque é o final do campeonato, mas tivemos períodos excelentes que nos permitem chegar a essa altura, ganhar apenas três pontos nos últimos nove, e continuar em primeiro – disse Artur Jorge.

Artur Jorge também projetou uma final na próxima rodada. O Botafogo enfrenta o Palmeiras na terça-feira (26), duelo pela 36ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Speaking in his side’s post-match press conference, Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has hailed his side’s character after their 2-1 victory against Wolves.

What did he say?

After falling to a 3-1 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League in mid-week, Spurs returned to winning ways under their recently appointed Portuguese boss with a late winner against Wolves on Sunday afternoon.

Jan Vertonghen headed home in injury-time to give the north London side all three points, and Mourinho insisted after the game that the result was down to his team’s character rather than their quality.

He said (as quoted by Football.London): “It’s one of these victories where quality is not enough. If you are not a team, a real team in the sense of what the word team means it’s impossible. They are very, very good. I said that before the match and I say the same after the match. They are a very good team and very difficult to play against.

“The reality is that a winning team starts with the mentality. The tactical side of it is very important, the quality of the players is also very important but the concept of a team is the base for a team that is capable of winning. To win this match, this match is a perfect example of a match that only a team can win.”

Character

An away game against Wolves after playing in Germany against Bayern Munich would have been seen as an incredibly tricky tie for Spurs. And for much of the game against the Molineux outfit, that proved to be the case. As per Sofascore, they had just nine shots on goal compared to the home side’s 18. But having been pegged back by an Adama Traore goal, they refused to let Nuno Espirito Santo’s men get on top of them, and eventually got their reward thanks to a Vertonghen header.

The win only adds to the belief the Spurs side will be getting with Mourinho in charge. If they were producing the same level of performance but not getting the result at the same time, questions would be asked. Instead, Mourinho can frame the game in a way where he can accentuate the positives of grinding out all three points from a difficult contest.

Meanwhile, Tottenham fans aren’t happy that this ace has made his return to fitness.

Over the years, Leeds fans moaning about Sky Sports has become something of a tradition.

Indeed, the fanbase have often complained about the broadcasters apparent obsession with their football club and how disruptive their influence can be each and every weekend.

However, it seems as if Sky are falling out of love with the Elland Road outfit this term as Leeds Live curated the stats that show United aren’t on TV anywhere near as often as they were last season.

In 2018/19, 47% of their matches were shown live on TV. So far this term, that figure has dropped considerably to 33.3%.

While this could be construed as a little bit of a negative as United won’t be receiving as much TV money as last year, it could actually have a positive impact on the team’s results.

Playing at 3pm on a Saturday most weeks can actually be an advantage for teams as it allows them to get into a routine, while also reducing any pressure the side may feel when playing earlier or later.

As a promotion-chasing side, Leeds will feel a lot of pressure whenever they step out onto a pitch, but having an early or late kick-off can exacerbate that.

Playing before your rivals can add some pressure as you don’t want to open the door for another team to leapfrog you while playing later can create a more intense situation as you know exactly what’s at stake if you fail to pick up the points.

Kicking-off more often at 3pm on a Saturday could actually help the Whites in their push for promotion as it’s a more level playing field in terms of adding or removing pressure based on the results of the teams around them.

Not only that, but it also creates a better routine. In terms of on-field performances, this is certainly a help, rather than a hinderance.

أفادت تقارير صحفية إسبانية، أن نادي بوروسيا دورتموند حدد سعر بيع الدولي النرويجي إيرلينج هالاند خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية المقبلة.

هالاند لفت أنظار العديد من أندية أوروبا الكبرى في مقدمتها برشلونة الإسباني، الذي تواصل بشكل رسمي مع وكيله مينو رايولا.

شبكة “أوندا سيرو” الإسبانية، كشفت أن حسب المعلومات التي وصلتهم من بوروسيا دورتموند، فإن النادي الألماني يطلب 160 مليون يورو للتخلي عن هالاند.

وأشارت الصحيفة إلى أن النادي الألماني لن يقبل بأقل من هذا المبلغ، بالإضافة إلى المتغييرات التي سيتم وضعها أثناء التفاوض مع من سيوافق على الصفقة.

وانضم هالاند إلى بوروسيا دورتموند في يناير 2020 قادمًا من ريد بول سالزبورج مقابل 20 مليون يورو، ولديه عقد حتى 30 يونيو 2024.

Tottenham Hotspur fans want Christian Eriksen to be banished from first-team affairs following a major transfer update from The Athletic’s David Ornstein.

The journalist claims that there was not a single bid tabled for the Denmark international in the summer, despite his desire to join either Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Manchester United are said to have made their interest known, though Eriksen was not keen on moving to Old Trafford.

Despite his failure to move, Eriksen is said to have little desire to sign a new contract in north London, because of his desire to move to a foreign club.

Of course, the midfielder struggled throughout the club’s 2-1 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, per WhoScored, registering just 62% passing accuracy and failing to register a single key pass.

And a number of fans are keen for him to be banished to training with the kids and away from the first-team until he actually leaves the club.

Take a look at the best of the reaction below!
