CONTE ON HIS FUTURE
"Everything is possible," says Conte.
"I have another year on my contract at this club but, in football, everything is possible. Our job is very difficult because everything can change quickly.
"I have another year of my contract and the club has to decide to send me away.
"We have started a big job here. You need time to improve your work.
"Football is very difficult to stay at a club for many years, especially in England, before managers were in charge for many years but now in England they are happy to sack the manager early.
"We are talking about staying in Chelsea and the history of Chelsea is very clear, it's normal is the press speak about Chelsea and the manager of Chelsea."

CONTE: EVERTHING IS POSSIBLE
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte says "anything is possible" in response to reports he could leave at the end of the season.
"Everything is possible. I have another year on my contract at this club but, in football, everything is possible," he said.
"Our job is very difficult because everything can change quickly."

PEP ON SANCHEZ
The boss says he is focused on Saturday's trip to Anfield and would not speculate on reports linking City to Alexis Sanchez.
"I am focused on Liverpool," he said.
"If it was my players, I wouldn't want my manager talking about other things."

PEP: ANFIELD PRESTIGIOUS
Pep Guardiola has heaped praise on Anfield.
"It's a real test going to Anfield, one of the most prestigious stadiums in the world," he said.
"It's a big game for us and we are going to plan as much as possible."

KOMPANY 'NOT READY' FOR LIVERPOOL 
Pep Guardiola has given the following injury update, ahead of City's Super Sunday trip to Anfield:
"I think Vincent Kompany is not ready for Liverpool, but the others are doing quite well," he said.
"Gabriel Jesus was in Barcelona yesterday with Dr Cugat. I think he could be ready in two or three weeks for Basel in the Champions League."

POCH ON TRANSFERS 
Mauricio Pochettino says it is "difficult" to sign sought-after players during the transfer window.
“If you want to sign players that you are going to use and help you, it’s difficult to find this opportunity," he said.
"Or it’s the case, like Liverpool and Barcelona, there is a lot of money and you cannot stop the player, like [Philippe] Coutinho or [Virgil] Van Dijk. 
"Or it’s a player with six months left on the contract and maybe that is an opportunity like all the rumours now about Alexis. That is the situation of this transfer window, that is why it is always difficult.”
The manager says he feels confident in his squad: “I am confident always," he said.
"Personally I never look next to me at what the other teams are doing. It’s about how I believe and try to make things happen."

POCH: LEVY COMMENTS PLEASING
Mauricio Pochettino says it is important to listen to Daniel Levy and is pleased with theTottenham chairman's recent comments.
Levy said on Thursday he is "100 per cent certain" the club will not sell players they want to keep.
"The chairman is the chairman. It's the chairman who manages everything," Pochettino said.
"I think for the fans, it's so important to listen to him. 
"If he was talking in this way, it's because he is confident to deliver it for the club."
 POCH ON 'GOOD RELATIONSHIP' WITH BIG SAM
"I have a lot of respect for Sam but like always it’s so important to the perform the way we want to and try to win the game because for us it’s a massive three points we need to win," said Pochettino.
“Every time that we’ve met it’s been a very normal and good relationship so it’s good to see him again. 
"Of course, we are going to talk and we know each other from the last five years.”
SPURS TEAM NEWS
Toby Alderweireld [hamstring], Danny Rose[knee] and Harry Winks [ankle] - continue to undergo rehabilitation. 
SPURS READY FOR TOP FOUR BATTLE
"I think we are in a good mood, a good way," said Pochettino. 
"I think we are ready to try and compete to the end of the season, to try and be in the top four, to be in the Champions League."
SPURS AIM FOR 'MASSIVE THREE POINTS'
Mauricio Pochettino says a win over Everton on Saturday would be "massive".
"It's so important, what we are going to do," he said.

Sam Allardyce has confirmed Everton are in talks with Walcott over a possible move.
"Yes [I told him I want him to stay]. No, you just cannot do it [give him assurances over game time] because it is not honest," Wenger told reporters.
"We will see. We have a good relationship still and I don’t want him to be frustrated or to lose an opportunity to go to the World Cup.
 "Theo went to the World Cup in Germany in 2006 and we are now in 2018, and he has not been [back to the World Cup], for different reasons."

“I think the way that he plays - he can come short and create space in behind or he can get the ball himself and get the team on the front foot.
“I think whoever does get him will find themselves with a stronger squad, so from that point of view it would be an unbelievable signing for Manchester Unitedif they were to get him, especially if it was at the expense of Manchester City with them two being huge rivals."

Guardiola vows to ”kill” Man City team if they fail to win EPL

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has vowed to kill his players if they fail to finish the English Premier League (EPL) season without the title. Guardiola said there was no chance of his team becoming complacent despite their superb form to the start of the season. Manchester City continued their EPL dominance with a 2-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday. City have made a flying start to the season, dropping just two points from the first 12 games and are 8-point lead at the top of the table, scoring 40 goals and conceding just seven. “That is not going to happen because I am their manager,” Guardiola said. “The team, that is not going to happen. I’ll kill them. Complacency doesn’t happen in my teams. “They can play bad, teams are going to beat us, that happens. “But if you see the team, they have the desire to have the ball and play. We are not a team that speculates about absolutely anything. That’s not going to happen.”

Whether you’re the best or the worst, not everyone will agree. Don’t start hatred neither should you fan the fire of hate. Someday, our bodies will end up six feet below. Just above it, our memories will live fading with time. Sheathe your swords and embrace PEACE. Build legacies and write your names as legends. Don’t die prematurely for people’s obsessions.
