The padre was from Cork originally. Loved his God, his football and his horses - probably, but not definitely, in that order. See when I was 10, he was the priest in Dumbarton where I'm from and he'd say to me, 'You'll play at the top level one day'. And I couldn't get a game in the school team at the time. He was a really good man. A big supporter of mine. So I went to see him. Sean sat in the car and I rang the doorbell.
Walter Ferreti will host Managua for this fixture of the league. Both teams are one of the ambitious teams in this season. True, I believe, Managua is the better team in this league. The visitors have the potential to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. In any case, this will be a very tense match. The hosts also will try to make a positive result. They will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. Of course, this will not be an easy task. I expect, they tend to score a goal. Also, both sides will try to pay attention on their defense. My pick - Draw.

Tottenham say the forward will return to London after the completion of his military service in May. Fellow attacker Steven Bergwijn is another who was ruled out for the season with an ankle injury but could now be back on the pitch.

Shakhtyor Soligorsk will host Neman Grodno for this fixture of the league. I believe, the hosts are strong favorites in this game. Shakhtyor are more ambitious team in this league. They probably will try to get all the points in this game. However, this is a very unpredictable league at the start of the new season. I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Also, we have Neman who's is very average team in this league. True, in previous game Neman is won 2-0 against Vitebsk. No doubt, the visitors have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, my pick - Newman to win.
Barcelona have only lost one of their last six away league games. Espanyol ended 2019 bottom of La Liga and five points from safety.

German champions Bayern Munich were interested in taking the 23-year-old back to the Bundesliga prior to his pre-season injury. Having recently returned to training, it is expected Sane - signed for £37m on a five-year deal from Schalke in 2016 - will receive further attention this summer.

Leicester v NorwichNorwich are not bad going forward but they struggle at the other end and I don't think they will be looking forward to playing Leicester at the moment.

Paper Round’s view: Clubs need to drive through pay cuts because it is not going to be easy to furlough players without testing both their loyalty and their contracts.
