Must do better - Kompany

"This year has to be better." Short but sweet from Vincent Kompany ahead of their Champions League tie against Juventus.

"It cannot be what it was in the previous years... We have been looking forward to the start of the competition since the disappointing game in Barcelona."

Lest we forget that the Blues have not been beyond the last 16 in Europe. Their domestic form is flawless, however, so the omen's are good at least. 

Juventus, on the other hand have lost two of their opening Serie A matches so far, drawing the other. Veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon said: "We can't be happy with what has happened so far but we can't feel sorry for ourselves, far from it."

Jury still out on van Gaal - Hoddle

Former England international Glenn Hoddle has tipped former PSV striker Memphis for a goal against his old club, but is less positive about Louis van Gaal.

He told Zapsportz.com: “I think the jury is still out on Manchester United and Louis van Gaal’s reign there so far. It's been OK, some good results, but for me they have not really been tested as yet, and that test will come round the corner, obviously.

“For me they would have to do a lot more if they have any possibility of going all the way in the Champions League."

"I’ve been desperate to get back in for a number of years and I know that any runs in international cricket are going to count no matter what format, especially against Australia," he said.

"I knew going in to the UAE there’s going to be a lot of spin bowled, and that’ll hopefully work in my favour as I love playing spin."

Fiji bring the noise

Fiji have prepared for the atmosphere in Friday's World Cup opener - by training to the sound of England fans in full voice.

Coach John McKee said: "That was part of our preparation. It was the normal crowd noise from Twickenham that was taken off some of the footage. 

Reuters

"It was good in those sessions we did it; it affected the intensity of the training. It's hard to hear calls and the communication in the game."

Fiji have already opted to wear white and occupy the home dressing room after winning a coin toss to help their efforts to try and cause an upset.

Champions League build-up

Tuesday's group match against PSV Eindhoven marks the return of Manchester United to the Champions League after their absence last season. Here's how they've fared in the past five years in the competition...

• 2014-15 season - Failed to qualify
• 2013-14 season - Quarter-final (lost to Bayern Munich)
• 2011-12 season - Group stage
• 2010-11 season - Final (lost to Barcelona)
• 2009-10 season - Quarter-final (lost to Bayern Munich)

Blue skies over Manchester...

Van Gaal wants European success

"I think the Champions League is a higher podium than the Premier League but maybe it's not like that." 

Manager Louis van Gaal will be expected to deliver on both fronts but his pre-match quotes ahead of the PSV Eindhoven match showed how much he wants to succeed in Europe.

Reuters

He will have to do that without the services of Wayne Rooney, however, after the Englishman strained his hamstring in training for the weekend's win over Liverpool.

Striker James Wilson and midfielder Andreas Pereira are in the squad despite neither making an appearance this season.

Anyone for an ice cold beer?

Everyone enjoys a beer while watching sport, but not many sportsmen actually have a beer while playing sport.

Well, that is unless you are University of Virginia goaltender Jake Anderson who, with his team leading 7-0, was handed a beer over the barrier by a fan and proceeded it down it. Anderson was swiftly ejected from the game.

Getty Images

His own university's match report said: "Jake Anderson had a shutout through two periods until he was disqualified for consuming an alcoholic beverage on the ice. 

"This selfish act drew eerie parallels to the maturity of a middle schooler desperate for attention from his crush."

No Aguero, no problem?

The absence of striker Sergio Aguero would be dismal news for most Manchester City fans ahead of a Champions League match, but there have been goals everywhere in Manuel Pellegrini's side this season.

Aguero, 27, picked up a knee injury during the 1-0 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday, however winger Raheem Sterling has recovered from a hamstring problem, while David Silva is available after ankle trouble.

AP

"I hope Aguero will be OK for the weekend but we must wait to see the result of the scans," said manager Manuel Pellegrini.

PSV match 'special' for Memphis - Mata

Midfielder Juan Mata has been speaking ahead of Tuesday's Champions League tie against PSV Eindhoven, describing it as a "special" game for Memphis, who moved from the Dutch club to Old Trafford over the summer.

He said: "It reminds me of my visit to Valencia with Chelsea a few months after my arrival in England.

“PSV is an historic team in European football, although they haven't participated in the group stage in the last few years. I remember watching [PSV manager] Cocu when he was a player. He's doing a good job: they haven't been defeated so far this season."

Sturridge key for Liverpool - Gerrard

Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has said the return of striker Daniel Sturridge from injury is crucial for getting their season back on track.

He also said the return of Philippe Coutinho from suspension and captain Jordan Henderson from injury will see Brendan Rodgers's side mount a fightback following a mixed start.

PA

He told a US radio station: "I think it's vital Daniel Sturridge is back playing and firing as soon as possible.

"I think the key is the partnership he forms with [Christian] Benteke because if they click together there's plenty more big games to finish high up in the league."

Grand Prix set to go ahead

The Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday will go ahead as planned, organisers insist, despite a hazardous haze lingering over the region.

The Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) is currently recorded at "unhealthy" levels and a number of sporting events in the area were scrapped last weekend.

BBC Sport

But a statement released by the circuit chiefs said: "Based on the current PSI levels, there are no plans to amend the published racing and entertainment programme.

"We will continue to work closely with all the relevant government authorities to receive the best possible forecasts when they are available."

Toronto's 'no' to 2024 Olympics

Toronto has reportedly declared itself out of the running for the 2024 Olympic Games.

Mayor John Tory said money needs to go into more pressing infrastructure projects ahead of the millions of dollars needed to host the event.

He did not rule out Toronto hosting major competitions in future, but said: "I can't look people in the eye at this point in our city's development and tell them that an Olympic bid is the best use of our time, our energy or our investment."

Two stats, two very different stories: City have never lost a home game against an Italian team in European competition. City have only won once in their four previous opening Champions League games.

History is either on their side or against them, if the data men are to be believed. While we wait to find out, here's a rundown of how the Blues have got on over the past four years since ending their 43-year wait for European football.

Dawson ton helps Hants

BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James at Southampton: "Hampshire claimed maximum batting bonus points for the first time this season as Liam Dawson (140) hit his first Championship hundred of the summer.

"Some lusty hitting at the end enabled Hampshire to reach their fifth point with five balls to spare.

"It could have been worse for Yorkshire as Gary Balance (14*) has already been dropped in the gully. "   

Washout at Durham

BBC Newcastle's Martin Emmerson at Chester-le-Street:

"No play has been possible on day two, despite the best efforts of the ground staff, with umpires Nigel Llong and Richard Kettleborough deciding the outfield is too wet following torrential rain earlier.

"Bottom club Worcestershire are 223-4 in their first innings.

"Durham have now lost 612 overs this season, most of them since July."

Dzeko the main man

Roma owner James Pallotta believes striker Edin Dzeko holds the key to winning Serie A again.

Getty Images

After finishing second in Serie A to Juventus for the past two seasons, Roma has already recorded a victory over the Turin team this season - clinched by the 29-year-old Dzeko, who has joined on a season-long loan from Manchester City.

"A big guy in the middle, it's a striker we have not had for 10 to 12 years,'' Pallotta said.

On this day...

...12 years ago, in 2003, England Test batsman and wicketkeeper Alec Stewart retired from first-class cricket.

Getty Images

Stewart is the most capped cricketer of all-time in test matches. He played 133 Tests, not to mention a further 170 one-day internationals.

He made his Test debut against the West Indies in February 1990 and went on to score more than 8,000 runs at an average of 39.54.

Stadium plan gets a cautious green light

Chelsea's plan to redevelop Stamford Bridge into a new 60,000-capacity stadium is "generally acceptable", says the local authority.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council says it would support any plans, subject to certain conditions being met.

The club have held two public exhibitions to showcase their design, which they hope to begin working on at the start of next season.

A full planning application is now expected to be submitted.

"The decision to intervene has been taken quickly after regular reviews by specialists, who feel that Jack’s scans show that the healing process is not progressing as well as expected.

"Jack will have surgery in London in the forthcoming days. This will involve inserting a small plate in his left fibula. Jack is likely to be out for approximately three months."

Dawson hits ton against champions

BBC Radio Leeds' Dave Callaghan at the Ageas Bowl:

"A late start and a late lunch in Southampton following morning rain and the Hampshire pair of Liam Dawson and Sean Ervine have bossed the proceedings.

"They extended their partnership to 111 at lunch and just before the interval Dawson took 11 from an Adam Lyth over to bring up his century.

"He was 102 not out at the interval, with Ervine on 41."

Chelsea news conference

Ben Smith

BBC Sport

Jose Mourinho admits there is a mood of disappointment around Chelsea, describing the club's start to the season as "so bad" but reminding his critics that he remains a champion of England.

Mourinho was at his spikiest during an exchange with the BBC (see 12:27) and during questions about why he had failed to stay at a single club for longer than three or four seasons. He concluded by saying that he had nothing to prove to anyone, having described himself as the Special AND Happy One.

Chelsea news conference

Crisis? What crisis? That appeared to be the message from Jose Mourinho.

The Chelsea manager gave a typically entertaining news conference in which he swung from spiky to smiles, admitting he was frustrated at the club's worst start to a season since 1986 but denying that the dressing room was in any way divided. Here are the main quotes...

On one win in five Premier League matches: "The start really is so bad. So bad."

On early pressure on his job following a poor start and off-the-pitch issues: "I am the champion of England, why should I be in trouble? Why?"

On getting used to losing: "I am not happy, I am not used to losing so many times. I am not adapting to losing, I am adapting to the situation or the challenge. I am OK."

Chelsea news conference

A last snippet from Mourinho before he departs.

"You have to go game to game," adds the manager. " We know we are points behind in the Premier League. But in the Champions League we know we need to qualify because it is important for the club economically and for us as professionals.

"We feel we belong to the Champions League not the Europa League and if we can get three points tomorrow it would be a first step for us."

One journalist asks if he was deliberately prioritising the Champions League ahead of the Premier League: "It would be easy for me to say that," the boss replies. "But I cannot tell you something that is not true. We do not prioritise competitions."

Chelsea news conference

Getty Images

On tomorrow's game against Maccabi Tel Aviv: "They are good enough to beat us. But we also know we are a better team, we have to prove that in the game.

"I respect them. I watched them play in many matches, I did my study, I know their team, I also had information that in the last week they have trained with a different system and will probably play five defenders.

"Watford did that last season with the same manager, so we are prepare for both - for them playing their normal way and also ready if they come with five defenders. We know what to do. We trust ourselves and we think we can win the game, but respect is a good saying in football."

Chelsea news conference

More from Mourinho, this time slightly more bullish: "We know what we are - champions of England. The fans sing that... nobody can steal what we are or our trophies or our history, you can try but you can't do that. We are champions of England.

"When you are used to winning all the time, then when you don't it is a strange feeling. Some people deal well with it, others not as good."

Chelsea news conference

A rather brave journalist asks if Mourinho's hair signifies his mood, suggesting that his new short cut suggests he means business.

"My haircut isn't as radical as it has been. I am fine, I promise you," he says.

It's not stress making your hair fall out then, says the journo?

Mourinho - looking remarkably relaxed given the situation his team are in - smiles and shakes his head.

Chelsea news conference

Mourinho said before his first spell at Chelsea that he was The Special One. When he got the job second time around he claimed he was The Happy One. Asked what he was now, the Chelsea boss replied: "I am still special and happy."

But he didn't sound so happy when the BBC's Ben Smith asked about the third season syndrome (Mourinho has never managed at a club for more than three full seasons).

AFP

"At Porto I didn't have a third season. My third season at Inter I didn't have," he replies. "My third season at Chelsea in first time I won FA Cup and Carling Cup and I played Champions League semi. Third season in Madrid I won Super Cup, lost the Cup Final, and I went to Champions League semi. These are my third seasons so click Google instead of stupid questions."

Ben tries to interject but Jose is having none of it. "I'm telling you the question is stupid because the third season is what I told you. The point is that the question is stupid." Time to move on...

Chelsea news conference

Mourinho admits his team are simply not used to losing so many matches and that this has affected confidence within the squad.

He adds: "I promise you I am fine. I am not happy. I am not used to losing so many times but I am adapting to the challenge."

The Chelsea boss explains that Oscar and Baba Rahman will be involved against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Wednesday but Falcao misses out.

More from Mourinho on the morale at Stamford Bridge after a difficult and incident-packed start to the season. He says it is "normal his team are frustrated and unhappy at the moment".

A drubbing at Everton, post-match words with Roberto Martinez, banter bans, off-the-pitch drama concerning team doctor Eva Carneiro and on-the-pitch drama about the future of John Terry have been just some of the issues he's faced so far this season.

"The only problem we have is that we haven't had good results. We aren't happy but we know what we are." The early thoughts of Jose Mourinho there at his news conference.

He adds: "I am the current champion of England. Why should I be in trouble?"

Chelsea on the training ground

Here at Chelsea's training ground in Cobham, the heavens have opened as Jose Mourinho puts his players through their paces ahead of the Champions League opener with Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The media, as is the norm, were granted access to the first 15 minutes of training and for much of that period Mourinho kept his back turned, deep in conversation with one of his staff.

He has much to ponder after the worst start to a season in his glittering managerial career and we will hear from the man himself and goalkeeper Asmir Begovic in the next 30 minutes.

In his current state of mind, no one really knows what to expect. The charming one? Or the grumpy one?     

No jokes allowed

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho retains the support of club owner Roman Abramovich, despite the Blues taking only four points from their opening five Premier League games, reports The Times.

Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph reports that Mourinho and his players have banned "all banter" as they attempt to arrest the club's worst start to a top-flight season for 29 years.

Domination for years to come?

Russell Fuller

BBC tennis correspondent

The reality is that over the next three years, only Novak Djokovic looks to have the tools to dominate a Grand Slam season in the way he did this one.

He has no weaknesses and is incredibly comfortable on all surfaces, whether there is a roof over his head or not.

Getty Images

His coaching set-up appears ideal: Marian Vajda has been with Djokovic for the best part of a decade, and Boris Becker, who joined the team in December 2013, offers the perspective of a fellow Grand Slam champion.

The great imponderable is whether he will still have the desire, as well as the physical and mental capacity, to keep regularly winning Grand Slams into his 30s.

Boxing ban call after fighter dies

An Australian boxer has died four days after being knocked unconscious during a regional title fight in Sydney.

The Australian Medical Association (AMA) has called for a ban on boxing following Browne's death. 

"One punch can kill, whether you are outside a pub on a Friday night or in a boxing ring, and this is the thing that causes young lives to be ended so traumatically," AMA vice-president Dr Stephen Parnis told Australian broadcaster ABC.

Dfs Smith: Unbelievable, why raise money to get rid of a perfectly good manager when there is a team like Torquay United who are fighting for survival and are trying to raise money in every possible way, get in the real world and help to save a club rather than get rid of a decent manager.

Robert Murray: Personally I think he's showing great character.

Jonathan Collins: Rodgers is a great and true gentleman I feel sorry for him and he is a brilliant manager and give him time.
