For those of us old enough to remember, Eric Morecambe turns to the audience and asks, 'what do you think of the show so far?' - before then turning his head away and shouting: 'Rubbish!'Well that's exactly what most football fans thought about the resumption. Football without fans simply isn't working, folks. What recent fixtures have taught us is that the game is nothing without supporters. The players don't like it, the pundits definitely don't like it, the commentators are trying to make sense of it, and TV coverage looks naked without it.
But athletes who can prove they are untainted by the doping scandal will be able to compete under a neutral flag. So they can compete as a neutral team in Qatar?Yes, as it stands.

But if there is a mechanism put in place, then they can apply to participate on a neutral basis, not as representatives of Russia.

Marcos Llorente put Atletico ahead after 15 minutes when he stabbed home from close range, with Gabriel Paulista equalising five minutes before the break. Atletico went back in front three minutes later when Thomas Partey smashed home a low drive from distance but Valencia's Geoffrey Kondogbia bundled the ball past goalkeeper Jan Oblak in the 59th minute to level the scores again.
The result saw Valencia slip back down to 10th, where they sit eight points behind leaders Barcelona and Real Madrid. To all intents and purposes it seems as though another fourth-placed finish is the best Los Che can probably hope for this term.
Chelsea to land Sancho Fresh from overturning their transfer ban, the Sun reports that Chelsea are now confident that they will land Jadon Sancho.

Judging from the views of fans, the feedback is likely to be a mixture of reassurance about their infrastructure but concern about the 'fun factor'. Drinking and partying can be a tricky concept in a country with strict restrictions on alcohol consumption and low tolerance for rowdiness.

Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani has told Paris St-Germain he wants to leave the club after "an approach" by Spanish side Atletico Madrid. The 32-year-old has been limited to 14 first-team outings this season after Mauro Icardi's arrival on a season-long loan from Inter Milan in the summer. It's true that today he asked to leave," said PSG sporting director Leonardo after a 1-0 win over Lorient in the French Cup on Sunday.
The Brazilian needed treatment during PSG's victory against Montpellier on Saturday, before then celebrating his 28th birthday at a Parisian nightclub 24 hours later.

Dec 31 (Reuters) - At the start of this decade, clashes between Arsenal and Manchester United were still potentially title-deciding affairs, but when the pair meet on New Year's Day at the Emirates they will have more modest goals in mind. United have not won a league title since Alex Ferguson's final season in charge seven years ago, while Arsenal have to go back to 2004 for the last time they raised the Premier League trophy, during the reign of Arsene Wenger.
Burnley, meanwhile, have seen at least three goals in four of their seven home matches and in 64% of their overall Premier League matches. All three of their meetings with the other members of the Premier League top four have seen at least three goals, so we think backing Over 2.5 Goals is a great value offering here.

This means an away win gives us a full win whilst a draw would give us a half win on the handicap.
I have never heard a word from Abramovich: 'Let's get this ready for a sale,' or something," Buck told The Guardian "Because of the political situation, there are people who think they might want to buy Chelsea at a bargain.

If he doesn't achieve that this season and is barred from even attempting it for two years, that will be a major blow to the coach whose contract at City runs out at the end of next season.
