Kariobangi Sharks FC coach William Muluya has urged his side to remain focused, stressing that their fight for top-flight survival is far from over.The tactician wants his team to keep collecting points as they work towards safety in the remaining games of the season.Sharks secured a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Shabana FC on Sunday at the Gusii Stadium, coming from a goal down to claim all three points. The victory opened up a five-point gap from the relegation zone, offering hope to a team that has spent much of the season at the foot of the table.##NAJAVA_MECA_9605074##Despite the positive result, Muluya, who also doubles as the Kenya U17 coach, remains cautious. “We still have a long way to go. We need to collect every possible point.

Barca under siege – 10.000 Geordies are in town

It sounds crazy, but some Newcastle fans actually bought tickets to Barcelona straight after the Qarabag tie, even before the draw came out. The Geordies simply wanted to continue this great ride in the Champions League and didn’t want to think that rainy London and Chelsea (again) would be their next destination. And those brave ones were right, as Newcastle indeed drew the Catalans and will play them tonight in Spain. The tie is very important for Newcastle, as many believe that this is their only chance of playing Europe next season. Their Premier League campaign is not so good and their realistic target will be Europa or Conference League, but even that is not given, considering that other clubs are in front of them. As much as their path to the final is tough (Barcelona and potentially Atletico Madrid and Arsenal), some consider this as a possibility and are pushing for a win tonight at Camp Nou. The other reason is as much important for Newcastle as is for Barcelona – the money. ..
