In the same study, the proportion for 1996 was 16%. Fewer people had mobile phones than didn't. Take a minute. Lie down if you need to. For those breathing the rarefied air of cellular phone ownership, the choice du jour was not an Apple, or a Samsung, but one of these - a Motorola StarTAC, the first ever flip phone. Flip phones were great because, every time you got a call, you could whip it open with a little flourish that really helped underline just how important you were.
That was a spanner in Juve's gameplan of containment, but they grabbed an away goal on the stroke of half time when David Trezeguet found himself free to stab in an Alessandro Del Piero shot. Silence in the Bernabeu. Real were back in front when a Roberto Carlos piledriver snaked its way through a crowded area to find the back of the net and it was on to Turin. Ronaldo was only on the bench for leg two because of injury so Raul stepped in as Juve looked to overturn the deficit.
Definitely not. Pep or Fergie? Guardiola's Barcelona beat Manchester United in two Champions League finalsFerguson famously met Guardiola for dinner in New York in 2012. At the time, the former Barcelona coach was on his sabbatical year and Ferguson was still to decide he would end his own illustrious career just months later. Ferguson asked to be kept abreast of Guardiola's plans but the return call never came.
Bournemouth is in terrible shape and after 4 wins in a row they are on the edge of relegation zone and they are struggling to even score a goal so I think it is hard to believe they could score more then one goal tonight of they score even that one and on the other side Brighton is also not in so good shape and they failed to beat Aston villa at home in last round and scored just one goal in that match so I think under 2.5 is pretty safe bet for this match and I surely recommend it
There was a match broadcast in each of the kick-off slots during the FA Cup third round last weekend, except for the 15:01 GMT start time.

In the third round of the tournament, 23 matches were available to watch on Bet365 last weekend - all those that did not kick off at 15:01 GMT on Saturday.
He wasn't afraid to get rid of players - as soon as their time was up they were out the door. He would adapt if he managed today. It's what great managers do. Wright: "Alex Ferguson knew he needed different people around him at different stages, to freshen it up and bring in a new idea. Even when you look at the 2013 side - people say, 'oh that's the worst Manchester United team to win the league under Ferguson' - they could not have won that league with that team with any other manager.
Smalling set for England return Manchester United’s on-loan defender Chris Smalling could be in line for a return to the England national setup. The 29-year-old former Fulham centre-back has not played for England for two years, but a recent scouting trip by the team’s boss Gareth Southgate has confirmed his dramatic improvement while in Italy, playing for Roma.

Kane thought he had equalised late in the second half, but he was adjudged to be offside. The England captain then limped off, seemingly with a hamstring injury. We see the bad result today which is the continuity of the last year," Mourinho said. For 12 months, it has been very difficult to get results away from home.

Serie A leaders Inter Milan missed the chance to move four points clear at the summit after being held to a goalless draw by Roma at the San Siro. The build-up to the fixture had been overshadowed by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport's 'Black Friday' headline, which was accompanied by images of Roma defender Chris Smalling and Inter striker Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku condemned the headline as "one of the dumbest" he has ever seen while Smalling said it was "wrong and insensitive".

Ferretti could have well been a couple of places higher in the league standings as they do possess the quality for at least a 2nd place finishing defeating just a few days ago a strong Esteli side with 1-0 at home and not many clubs can say this Clausura they have kept a clean sheet with Esteli. This while prior to that win they did suffer 3 losses in a row away from home but also had a 7-0 win against Chinandega at home, a great result really biggest win in the league all season long for any club and it was not so long ago either, just 3 rounds ago.

Another match where both teams are going to be very even and should settle in for a draw. Both teams are at the mid table and should not worry too much for getting relegated and also don't have a chance for something more for sure. Cagliari at this match will be without Farago P , Naingollan R, Oliva C , Pavoletti L , Pereigo G and Piscanane F while Torino will be without Verdi S, Zaza S and without Baseline due to knee injury. Both teams are similar in quality and given all the circumstances for this match I believe both teams will settle in for a draw.
Bournemouth are 15th in the Premier League on 16 points, one point above the drop zone, following Saturday's 3-0 defeat by leaders Liverpool. We're in a relegation battle now," Howe told British media after watching his team slump to their fifth defeat in a row. I think you've got to be realistic . If you don't talk about it and hide from it, it can loom up on you without you realising it.
Posted at 60' Victor Lindelöf (Manchester United) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Posted at 60' Roberto Firmino (Liverpool) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Posted at 60' Foul by Nemanja Matic (Manchester United). Bayern Munich scored four second-half goals to beat Jurgen Klinsmann's Hertha Berlin and move up to second in the Bundesliga. Thomas Muller volleyed home Ivan Perisic's cut-back to give the visitors the lead on the hour mark.
Meanwhile, although they've not been anywhere near as poor as Hearts, Hibs haven't really pulled up any trees this season either. A fifth-place finish last term left a degree of optimism coming into the season but the visitors are currently stationed outside of the top six; a position they’ll be hoping to change over the next couple of fixtures before the winter break.
Football match from the Brazilian Campeonato Paulista and we have Guarani playing host to Ponte preta. This is the 10th match of each teams and the visitors ponte are already out of the competition but I think they will want to go out on a good note. The host team had qualified in their own group and they may not play as well as they normally would play. I think for this match a draw would be a fair result, both team have absolutely nothing to lose or play for In this match, so I see an half hearted performance from both teams
Talleres will play against Colon in the Argentina Superliga. The home team won three of their last five home matches. The away team, however, could not win any of their last five away matches. Based on these statistics, I predict a home win.
They needed the three points, they got the three points and Dean Smith got his performance. It was important Villa stepped up and played with confidence after three defeats. Newcastle helped them immensely by the fact they were so passive. Villa did have to weather a little bit of a Newcastle storm at the start of the second half but it was a big performance and they're back on track. Man of the match - Conor Hourihane (Aston Villa) Jack Grealish was also excellent but Conor Hourihane gets the nod for scoring one goal and making another.
England will play Wales in a friendly at Wembley Stadium on 8 October. The match will be played behind closed doors in keeping with government coronavirus guidelines. The two nations last met at Euro 2016, when England won 2-1 after an injury-time winner from Daniel Sturridge. England will pay tribute to former players who have died in the last 12 months, including 1966 World Cup winners Jack Charlton, Martin Peters, Norman Hunter and Peter Bonetti.
He was an immediate hit with the Highbury fans, scoring on his debut against Manchester United in a 3-0 win, but for all his goals, it was his effort and intelligence that stood out most during his time as a player. Deployed across the midfield and occasionally as a second striker, he was blessed with neither a powerful shot nor great height, but Ljungberg made up for these shortcomings with great positioning and timing.
Watford continued their resurgence under new manager Nigel Pearson as they made it three wins from their last four games with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Christian Kabasele was sent off after the intervention of VAR with 20 minutes to go, but the home side held on for the win.
We feel that Solihull Moors and Stockport County could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner. A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. We therefore think that it’s going to be a close game with a 1-1 score draw at the conclusion of the game. Both teams are in good form right now. Solihull have not lost in their last 6 matches having won 4 of them and will pose so much threat for the home side here. A draw is expected here in this match as both teams will try to clinch three points.
Burnley says it "strongly condemns" those behind a banner reading 'White Lives Matter Burnley' being towed by an aircraft over Etihad Stadium prior to Monday's match against Manchester City.

Burnley strongly condemns the actions of those responsible for the aircraft and offensive banner," said a club statement.

There were cries of pain as Jack Grealish felt the full force of a couple of challenges, while Villa took advantage of the new rules by using four second-half substitutes. So much was new. So much felt strange. Let's say it - it all seemed very odd at times. What must also be said is that every precaution and step is necessary in the current climate when sport is not the top priority in this pandemic, but the Premier League needed to get going again.
It is the final result of a furious battle between him and Sheffield United’s former long-term owner, the property magnate Kevin McCabe, who, in 2013, gave Abdullah, a member of Saudi Arabia’s ruling family, 50% of his shares in return for £10m invested in the club. The subsequent fallout has been bitter but Abdullah, accompanied by his Riyadh-based lawyer, Yusuf Giansiracusa, is unapologetic about McCabe: “He tried to screw me, he got screwed,” he says.
