if west brom were working on set pieces, it didn't show.y hoedt put southampton ahead. sometimes you get the feeling it is not going to be your day. krychowiak, what a save! alex mccarthy had to readjust himself. in a couple of minutes, it went wrong again, a missed tackle for krychowiak, and dusan tadic capitalised. the west brom defence balming each other as the saints celebrated. but the game can change in a few minutes. rondon! tremendous goal by salomon rondon to get west brom back into this cup tie! pardew‘s side looked to have team spirit aplenty, and again it was only the reflexes of alex mccarthy that kept them out. the saints goal seemed to lead a charmed life. no amount of acrobatics could get it over the line. a clearance from ryan bertrand ensuring the final score stayed 2—1. pardew generally satisfied with the way his team finished the game, but it's another defeat and it is southampton whose cup run continues. of course, it's been difficult. in terms of the experience on the pitch and the attitude and the reaction to that, i

no suprises at the etihad — manchester city saw off west brom by three goals to nil. lead at the top is now 15 points following manchester united's defeat. but shock of the day came at stamford bridg, where reigning champions chelsea were humbled 3—nil by bournemouth. —— where reigning champions chelsea were humbled 3—0 by bournemouth. callum wilson, junior stanislas, and nathan ake all found the net — a much needed win for eddie howe's side. and elsewhere, the new signing theo walcott made a difference. in spain, sevilla let slip a one goal lead in their copa del reya semi—final first leg away at leganes. remember, leganes knocked out real madrid in the last round. favourites, sevilla took the lead in the first half, through luis muriel, but the visitors battled back. the equaliser coming from greek defender dimitrios siovas. the second leg is next wednesday. grid girls will no longer be used by formula 1 from the start of the 2018 championship season. grid girls are models used to conduct certain promotional tasks, usually wearing clothing that bears the name of a s

west brom say they will "fully support" their player.ntil the 16 february to respond to the football association. the tottenham head coach mauricio pochettino thinks the football association needs to step in regarding the state of rochdale‘s pitch ahead of their tie in the fifth round of the fa cup later this month. one half of it is completely devoid of grass and more like a sand pit. rochdale‘s fourth round replay against millwall two nights ago was allowed to go ahead despite their previous two home games being postponed. the fa can offer assistance to the league one side to help with repairs. spurs are due to play the league one side there a week on sunday. it is like i saw in the picture, i think you cannot play football. that is my point of view, but not because we are tottenham 0rion, no, no, i think rochdale cannot play too football there, it is bad for their players too. they go in, try to take a very good decision for football. they go in, try to take a very good decision for football. spurs face arsenal at wembley on saturday

however, the pressure is intensifying an conte ahead of the crucial game against west brom at stamfordday. tough matches to come. west brom in the league, hull in the cup, barcelona in the champions league, mancheseter united in the league. if further defeats come, will he last that run? you know, if they begin to slip out of the top four spots, and they could slip down the table, i do think that chelsea may make a decision like sacking conte. i think the general feeling is that they wa nt the general feeling is that they want him to stay until the end of the season because there's not a lot of options in terms of who can come in and replace him even that they have got a tough fixture list coming up. at the moment, i think hisjob is safe. how crucial has the tra nsfer is safe. how crucial has the transfer policy being? it appears he has been pushing the board, he hasn't got the players in that he wanted. you look at the likes of danny drinkwater, 0livier giroud, ross barkley, not the elite that you so ross barkley, not the elite that you so often expect chelsea design. has that frustra

cameroon international bong claimed the incident took place during west brom's 2—0 win at the hawthornsl, who has until 16 february to respond to the football association. the tottenham head coach mauricio pochettino thinks the football association needs to make a call on the state of rochdale's pitch ahead of their tie in the fifth round of the fa cup later this month. it certainly is a state — one half of it appears to be completely devoid of grass and more like a sand—pit. rochdale's fourth round replay against millwall two night's ago was allowed to go ahead despite their previous two home games being postponed. spurs are due to play the league one side there a week on sunday if it is like i saw in the pictures, identity can play football, not because we are tottenham —— i don't think we can buy football. i don't rochdale can play there, as well. maybe the fa cup needs to take a very good decision for football. after their heavy defeat to wales on the opening weekend of the six nations, scotland have made six changes to their line—up for sunday's game against france at murrayfield.
