In November ITV signed a secret three year deal with the Football League to show edited highlights on Saturday nights instead of Sundays in an attempt to break away from the joint negotiating strategy and replace Match of the Day. A ruling by the Office of Fair Trading prevented ITV's exclusive contract being signed but a compromise was reached. For the duration of the next four year contract it was agreed that the BBC and ITV would have to alternate their programme coverage with Match of the Day switching to Sunday afternoons for the 1980-81 and 1982-83 seasons.

Match of the Day was back on Saturday nights as a highlights show but was supplemented by live matches on Friday evenings. The BBC and ITV had been allocated seven games each with the commercial channel choosing to broadcast theirs on Sunday afternoons. This was a radical change in strategy by all involved as prior to this new two year contract the only regular live domestic football had been the FA Cup Final, England against Scotland and the European Cup Final. Match of the Day was cancelled from 15 October to 19 November due to strike action at the BBC.

    Blackburn Rovers v Southampton. From an entry of 448 clubs, the FA Cup is down to the last 16, but there is still plenty of 'Cup tradition' among the survivors. Blackburn Rovers, a founder member of the Football League, have won the Cup six times - all those triumphs long ago - but Rovers are currently prominent in the Second Division.

  20. E18

    18. 13th January 1984

    Queens Park Rangers v Manchester United. For Manchester United, with the most expensive squad ever assembled in British football, there is an entirely new experience tonight when they play for League Championship points on an artificial pitch. Their first League victory this season was against Queens Park Rangers on the opening day at Old Trafford, and now live, full-length coverage of the return fixture promises an intriguing contest of skill as Rangers, last year's Second Division champions, set out to avenge that defeat in their own compact west London stadium.

The show celebrated its 20th anniversary and matches were still being broadcast on Fridays. Most other sports were now seen live on television so the production team wanted to continue the football experiment as well. Jonathan Martin, the Head of Sport at the time, recalled that the experiment was disappointing: "We only got six or seven million viewers on a Friday night which was poor for the slot so we moved to Sundays in the following year." This was to be the last time that Match of the Day contained weekly League highlights until the beginning of the 1992-93 season.

In 1985 the television rights came up for renegotiation and BBC and ITV offered £16m for four years. This was in return for 19 live games plus weekend highlights. The Football League met on Valentine's Day and rejected it. Football was, however, in a weak negotiating position as the game was rife with hooliganism and the two sides became deadlocked. The result was a total black-out for the first part of the season which annoyed fans and concerned the sponsors. The Football League finally backed down and agreed a deal that gave them less money per game than before on a short term two and a half year contract. The remaining six months was worth £1.3m with a two year £6.2m extension confirmed in June. The supporters were delighted and Match of the Day resumed in January. It concentrated mainly on FA Cup highlights and the occasional live League match on a Sunday.

  5. E10

    10. 1st March 1987: League Cup Semi-final Second leg: Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal

    This is more than a north London derby - they are playing for a place in the Littlewoods Challenge Cup Final at Wembley on Sunday 5 April, which you will be able to watch live on BBCtv.

  6. E9

    9. 22nd February 1987: FA Cup Fifth Round: Wimbledon v Everton

    Ten years ago Wimbledon were non-league nobodies. Now they're not only rubbing shoulders with the elite in the championship, but they have knocked over quite a few too. Not Everton though - they have taken the full six points off 'the Dons' this season. But this is the Cup, which for Everton represents one leg of the double that was achieved last year by the Red half of Merseyside. It's a tie with a whiff of Cup history about it, whoever wins. Everton have played in the last three finals and now go for a record fourth in a row. Wimbledon's target is to reach the quarter-finals for the first time. This same fifth round two years ago is the furthest they have gone.

    The ingredients are heaped upon each other to make this one of the most enthralling third-round ties for years.

  9. E6

    6. 4th January 1987: Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal

    New Year soccer live on TV starts with a cracker in prospect and the supremacy of north London at stake as Tottenham and Arsenal meet for the 100th time in the Football League. They kick off with the record exactly level: 39 wins a piece, followed by a draw for the 21st time when they clashed at Highbury in September.

  10. E5

    5. 14th December 1986: Liverpool v Chelsea

    When it comes to contention for the League Championship, little or nothing changes at Anfield. Liverpool have won it 16 times and as this season's halfway stage approaches they are in their familiar position as one of the foremost challengers. This time last year, Chelsea were in the shake-up too, but they faded in the second half of the season and are still trying to find themselves. The Kop, no doubt, expects three points this afternoon from a fixture that Liverpool have not lost for 51 years. Chelsea manager John Hollins' response to such a statistic would be that all bad things must come to an end. After all, Chelsea did get a draw at Anfield last season.

  11. E4

    4. 7th December 1986: Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur

    Television's first full-length examination of two of the game's glamour clubs since they came under new management. United's troubled start to the season led to Ron Atkinson being replaced a month ago by Alex Ferguson from Aberdeen. Tottenham changed their manager in the summer, David Pleat moving in to the big city spotlight after an eight-year spell with Luton Town.

  12. E3

    3. 23rd November 1986: Everton v Liverpool

    Live soccer action at one of the classic 'derby' matches of the season: Merseyside's 135th League derby, all of them in the First Division, kicks off with honours exactly even: 47 wins for Everton, 47 wins for Liverpool and 40 games drawn. Only in goals scored do Liverpool have the edge -184 to 171. But in terms of Championship success, the men of Anfield stand head and shoulders above everyone. They have won the title 16 times, with Everton and Arsenal sharing second place at eight apiece.

  13. E2

    2. 2nd November 1986: West Ham United v Everton

    The new strike partnership of Frank McAvennie and Tony Cottee formed last season helped West Ham into third position in the league, their highest finish. Between them the two young internationals scored 54 goals for the Hammers, and they are on target again this season, with Cottee well on schedule to reach the tally of 30 he has set himself. Everton's treatment room has been filled by this season's most celebrated injury list. It is a measure of their squad strength that, though permanently below full compliment - and with last season's 40-goal Gary Lineker now exiled in Spain - they stayed unbeaten longer than any other First Division team at the start of 1986-87.

    18. 9th April 1988: FA Cup Semi-finals

    Only one step away from Wembley, a journey never experienced before by First Division newcomers Wimbledon. This afternoon at White Hart Lane, they face Luton Town who will be trying to achieve a record fourth appearance there in one season. Meanwhile at Hillsborough, Liverpool, no strangers to Wembley themselves, will also be aiming for a record - to be the first club to achieve the League and FA Cup 'double' for the second time in history. Only Nottingham Forest can stop them, although knowing that Brian Clough has never been to the final in this competition either as a player or manager could provide his young side with the necessary motivation to do so.

    The last live match from this season's Barclays League is the 102nd time these great north London rivals have disputed points in a series that began in 1909. Rival managers George Graham and Terry Venables are friends of long standing, but there will be no old pals' act on the field. There never has been, as the summary of results shows: 41 wins for Arsenal, 39 for Spurs, with 21 games drawn.

  6. E14

    14. 28th February 1988: League Cup Semi-Final, Second Leg: Luton Town v Oxford United

    Luton were barred from last season's Littlewoods Cup because of their ban on away fans. They had second thoughts for 1987-88 and now, after drawing the first leg of this semi-final 1-1 at Oxford, will fancy their chance of reaching only the second final in their history. Oxford surprised many when they won the Milk Cup two years ago, so they have the flavour of Wembley. They are also fighting for their First Division lives.

  7. E13

    13. 21st February 1988: FA Cup Fifth Round: Everton v Liverpool

    11. 24th January 1988: Arsenal v Manchester United

    After establishing a club record of 14 straight wins in the first half of the season, Arsenal have momentarily gone off the boil. A draw against West Ham and victories over Charlton and Queens Park Rangers make up Manchester United's record in London this season. Past form at Highbury favours United and a close encounter. They have won there three times in the last four seasons, all by the odd goal, as was Arsenal's victory in the corresponding match last season.

  14. E6

    6. 13th December 1987: Coventry City v Arsenal

    George Graham 's forecast, when he took over at Highbury last year, was that Arsenal could be genuine contenders for the league title within two seasons. The timing looks right. Last month's 14th successive win set a new Arsenal record. Coventry City did not need a trophy cabinet until they won the FA Cup last May, but all that Sky Blue excitement at Wembley has been hard to follow this season.

After several years of speculation it was announced in February that a new, breakaway FA Premier League was going to be formed. ITV were expected to win the TV rights but the BBC and BSkyB combined to place a counter bid and had strong influence within the new organisation. In May 1992 the rights were decided and each club had one vote. BSkyB were awarded live matches on Sundays and Mondays and the BBC gained the Saturday night highlights as part of a five year deal. The two companies also joined forces to sign a new five year deal to cover FA Cup and International matches. ITV would be covering the Football League and the League Cup.

Sunderland's Cup run this year has seen them score victories over First Division teams West Ham, Chelsea and Norwich. It's now Liverpool's turn to face the 1992 giant-killers in an intriguing Wembley clash. Will John Byrne, the Sunderland striker who has scored in every round of the Cup so far, add a Wembley goal to his tally?

    Coverage from the Parc des Princes in Paris. There's been an Italian club in this final for the last nine years, and Inter are the favourites in this year's all-Italian clash. This is partly because they have won twice this decade (in 1991 and 1994, the last match against fellow Italians Roma), but largely because they now boast the brilliant Brazilian star Ronaldo among their players. Ronaldo, who transferred to Inter from Barcelona for £19.5m, added to his track record when he scored both winning goals in the second leg of Inter's semi-final against Spartak Moscow. He will almost certainly play for Brazil in the World Cup later this year. For Lazio, whose first European final this is, the attack will be led by another player bound for the World Cup, Croatian Alen Boksic, who scored the only goal of the semi-final against Atletico Madrid.

    24. 24th November 1998: Uefa Cup: Celta Vigo v Liverpool

    Coverage of tonight's Uefa Cup third-round, first-leg match from Balaidos Stadium in Spain. Liverpool provided the only success story in an otherwise disastrous Uefa Cup second round for the English clubs. Their passage to the third round was earned with a 2-2 second-leg draw in Valencia that secured an away-goals victory. Now the Reds face a tricky away match against another Spanish side, Celta Vigo, the team that knocked out Aston Villa in the last round and who have made a very strong start in their domestic league.

  36. E20

    20. 3rd November 1998: Uefa Cup: Leeds United v AS Roma

    Coverage of tonight's Uefa Cup second-round, second-leg match from Elland Road. Leeds battled hard in the first leg at Rome's Olympic stadium to come away defeated by the only goal of the game, a 17th minute strike by Roma's Marco Delvecchio , and were unlucky not to earn at least a draw after hitting the post twice. Their performance was made all the more impressive considering the club's recent managerial difficulties, a Uefa touchline ban for caretaker-boss David O'Leary and the second-half sending off of midfielder Bruno Ribeiro. A similar display will be needed to reverse the deficit against Roma's multi-national squad.

  37. E19

    19. 31st October 1998

    Highlights from three of today's FA Premiership games including Chelsea's match with early season pacesetters Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

  39. E17

    17. 20th October 1998: Uefa Cup: AS Roma v Leeds United

    Coverage of this evening's Uefa Cup second-round, first-leg match from the Olympic Stadium in Rome. Leeds endured the drama of a penalty shootout against Maritimo of Portugal to land this potentially difficult second-round clash with the club that finished fourth in Italy's Serie A last season. Roma comfortably overcame Danish side Silkeborg 3-0 on aggregate in their first-round tie and can boast a formidable multi-national squad that includes two stars of Brazil's France 98 World Cup party-Cafu and Aldair.

  40. E16

  44. E12

    12. 29th September 1998: Uefa Cup: Olympique Lyonnais v Blackburn Rovers

    Coverage of tonight's Uefa Cup first-round, second-leg match from Lyon France. Despite looking the most likely team to score for much of the first leg, Blackburn Rovers succumbed to a spectacular late winner from Lyon defender Jacek Bak to trail on going into this evening's clash. Manager Roy Hodgson 's men need to reverse the poor scoring record that has seen them struggle to keep up with the early-season pace in the FA Premiership, especially as they can expect to face a defensive Olympique Lyonnais side eager to preserve their vital away goal scored at Ewood Park a fortnight ago.

  45. E11

    11. 26th September 1998

    Premiership action, including highlights of the match between Sheffield Wednesday and Arsenal, at Hillsborough plus news and goals from today's other games.

  13. E78

    78. 21st June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group C: Yugoslavia v Spain, Slovenia v Norway. On the day that the group stage reaches its conclusion, these Group C matches will decide the quarter-final places. Spain's qualifying form suggests they are capable of making the breakthrough, and Norway will be favourites to beat tournament outsiders Slovenia, having overcome them twice in qualifying.

  14. E77

    77. 20th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group A: England v Romania from the Stade Communal at Charleroi in Belgium. England play Romania in their final, and potentially decisive, Group A game. Tonight's programme also includes highlights from Rotterdam of the other Group A match between Germany and Portugal, which is being played at the same time as the England game.

  15. E76

    76. 19th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group B: Ray Stubbs introduces highlights of today's important Group B matches: Turkey v Belgium in Brussels and Italy v Sweden at Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Plus a preview of tomorrow's action in Group A.

  16. E75

    75. 18th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group C: Norway v Yugoslavia from the Sclessin stadium in Liege, Belgium. Some familiar faces are more than likely to feature in the Norwegian side, with Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Henning Berg , as well as Chelsea's Tore Andre Flo in the squad. The team qualified by finishing top of their group by a comfortable margin and are a difficult side to beat. The Yugoslavs, however, are for many people the dark horses of the competition and could do well if the likes of Fiorentina striker Predrag Mijatovic and Lazio defender Sinisa Mihajlovic can hit top form.

  17. E74

    74. 18th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group C: Slovenia v Spain from the Amsterdam Arena. Spain have gained a reputation in recent years for failing to perform on the big stage, while Slovenia have proved they are capable of beating higher-ranked opponents by winning the playoff against Ukraine to qualify for Euro 2000.

  18. E73

    73. 18th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group A: Ray Stubbs introduces highlights of England's crucial clash with Germany, plus action from the other Group A match between Romania and Portugal, which could have a real impact on England's progress in the competition.

  19. E72

    72. 17th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group A: England v Germany at the Stade Communal in Charleroi, Belgium. In a tight group England cannot afford to slip up against their old rivals as they bid for a quarter-final place. Four years ago Germany ended England's hopes of a place in the Euro 96 final in a sudden-death shoot-out. Today's match will not go to penalties, but offers Euro 96 survivors such as David Seaman , Tony Adams and Alan Shearer the ideal opportunity to redress the balance. Neither side impressed in qualifying, but that means nothing as two of the big names in world football go head to head once again.

  20. E71

    71. 16th June 2000: Euro 2000

    With less than 24 hours to go before kick-off Ray Stubbs previews England's crunch Group A game against Germany at Charleroi.

There's also a look ahead to the other Group A match to be played tomorrow featuring Romania and Portugal and a look back the Netherland's match against Denmark in Group D.

  21. E70

    70. 16th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group D: Czech Republic v France from Bruges. The Euro 96 runners-up take on the world champions in what is potentially one of the best games in the group stages.

  22. E69

    Group B: Highlights of today's match between Sweden and Turkey, from Eindhoven.

  23. E68

    68. 14th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group B: Italy v Belgium from the King Baudouin stadium in Brussels. As automatic qualifiers, Belgium have had the tricky task of preparing for the tournament without the benefit of competitive matches, but their recent results have included their first-ever victory on Italian soil - a 3-1 win over tonight's opponents - in Lecce last November. Italian coach Dino Zoff will be looking for a significant improvement in his side's patchy form since being eliminated on penalties in the 1998 World Cup quarter-finals by host nation France. Although they should start as favourites tonight, the Italians will be wary of an upset, having not beaten Belgium in four attempts since 1977.

  24. E67

    67. 13th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group C: Yugoslavia v Slovenia at the Stade Communal in Charleroi, Belgium, where England play Germany on Saturday, is the setting for this Group C match. The Yugoslavs' qualifying progamme was severely disrupted by the war in Serbia but they eventually clinched Group 8 ahead of the Republic of Ireland and Croatia. Slovenia reached the finals via the playoff route, overturning a talented Ukrainian side after finishing eight points behind Norway in their qualifying group.

  25. E66

    66. 12th June 2000: Euro 2000

  27. E64

    64. 11th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group D: Netherlands v Czech Republic from the Amsterdam Arena. The Dutch are many people's favourites to win the tournament and will be hoping to capitalise on their home advantage, but the Czech side, largely unchanged since reaching the Euro 96 final, will be hoping to make their mark early on in the competition.

  28. E63

    63. 11th June 2000: Euro 2000

    Group B: Turkey v Italy from the Gelredome in Arnhem, Netherlands. Turkey will have a tough match against an Italian side desperate to prove themselves on the European stage.

    Coverage of the Uefa Cup final from the Parken stadium in Copenhagen. Both Arsenal and their Turkish opponents began their European campaigns in the Champions' League, before entering the Uefa Cup after elimination at the first group stage. The north London side will start as favourites, particularly as their squad boasts several players who have already tasted victory in European and international finals. Galatasaray, who became the first Turkish club to reach a European final after defeating Leeds United in two highly-charged semi-final legs, will be determined to stop Arsenal emulating their 1994 Cup Winners' Cup win in this stadium.

    Finale

    Coverage from Athens of England's World Cup qualifying game against Greece. After starting badly by losing to Germany, England's wins against Finland and Albania under their new coach Sven Goran Eriksson have rekindled hopes of qualifying for next year's finals. England desperately need a win tonight to gain the three vital points that would secure them at least a place in the play-offs.

    Coverage of the Uefa Cup final from Borussia Dortmund's Westfalenstadion in Germany. Liverpool will start favourites as they bid to lift this trophy for the third time, but their Spanish opponents should not be underestimated. The most familiar name in the Alaves squad will be attacking midfielder Jordi Cruyff , formerly of Manchester United. Other players to watch out for include striker Javi Moreno , Argentinian midfielder Hermes Desio and goalkeeper Martin Herrera , who last season conceded fewer goals than any other custodian in Spain's Primera Liga. Liverpool's success has been based on rotating a star studded squad. Strikers Michael Owen , Emile Heskey and Robbie Fowler are supported by a fluent midfield and a strong defence built around robust Finn Sami Hyypia. Boss Gerard Houllier will be expecting much of young midfield star Steven Gerrard and inspirational veteran Gary McAllister.

    The biggest FA Cup fifth-round tie in years awaits as United face Arsenal at Old Trafford.

Defending champions Arsenal also racked up the goals in their last cup match - putting five past Farnborough.

  26. E26

    26. 12th February 2003: International Friendly

    24. 26th January 2003: FA Cup Fourth Round

    Shrewsbury Town v Chelsea. The second of today's FA Cup fourth-round ties is this intriguing fixture from Gay Meadow in which the Third Division giant-killers try their luck against three-times cup winners Chelsea. Claudio Ranieri 's team will be anxious to avoid the same fate as the last cup visitors to this ground - Everton were thwarted by a double strike from experienced forward Nigel Jemson. Will the Londoners' squad, boasting world-class quality in every department, prove a bridge too far for the Shrews?

  29. E23

    23. 26th January 2003: FA Cup Fourth Round

    Manchester Utd v West Ham Utd. An all-Premiership battle for a place in the last 16 of the FA Cup in this fourth-round clash from Old Trafford.

But the most recent meeting saw the Red Devils cruise to a 3-0 win.

  30. E22

  36. E16

    16. 8th December 2002: FA Cup Second Round

    Oxford United v Swlndon Town. Coverage of today's FA Cup second-round game as division three Oxford Utd take on division two Swindon. Ian Atkins 's men have had mixed fortunes in the third division and advanced to the second round of the FA Cup only after a hard-fought 1-0 away victory over Dover, climaxing with a stunning close-range goal from 34-year-old former Manchester City player David Oldfield. Swindon had an equally tough time dispatching fellow second-division team Huddersfield, with captain Andy Gumey securing a 1-0 score after the tie looked to be heading for a replay.

  38. E14

    14. 7th December 2002: Rangers v Celtic

    Coverage of the second Old Firm clash of the season, with Ibrox this time hosting the famous derby.

Victory for either side would be a big step towards the league title.

    12. 17th November 2002: FA Cup First Round

    Forest Green Rovers v Exeter City. Coverage from The Lawn, Gloucestershire, of this intriguing first-round FA Cup tie.

    10. 14th November 2002: Uefa Cup: Blackburn Rovers v Celtic

    Coverage from Ewood Park of the Uefa Cup second-round, second-leg encounter. Blackburn strikers Dwight Yorke and Damien Duff will hope to capitalise on homeground advantage after their good form in the first leg at Celtic came to nothing, with Henrik Larsson shooting the Scottish champions to victory with five minutes to go. Plus highlights from Loftus Road as Fulham take on Croatian side Dynamo Zagreb.

  43. E9

    9. 31st October 2002: Uefa Cup: Celtic v Blackburn Rovers

    Coverage from Celtic Park of the Uefa Cup second-round, first-leg clash between Celtic and Blackburn Rovers - a true Battle of Britain. Martin O'Neill 's Celtic have dominated the Scottish Premier League during the past couple of seasons but have yet to translate this into success on the European stage. After breezing through the first round of this tournament against Lithuanian outfit FK Suduva , they are certain to face a far tougher test against Blackburn, a side managed by Graham Souness - the former boss of their fierce Glasgow rivals, Rangers.

  44. E8

    8. 16th October 2002: Euro 2004 Qualifier

    England v Macedonia. Coverage of the second match this week in England's campaign to qualify for the Euro finals in Portugal. After Saturday's trip to Slovakia all eyes will now be focused on St Mary's Stadium, Southampton. It's the first ever meeting between the two teams and Sven-Goran Eriksson will be anxious to secure full points tonight to keep England on course to win Group Seven and avoid a repeat of their Euro 2000 campaign - where they had to endure a tense two-leg play-off with Scotland. Macedonia's qualifying hopes hit a setback last month when they were held to a 1-1 draw by unheralded Liechtenstein. In today's other matches involving British teams, Wales faced a tough test at the Millennium Stadium as they looked for a win against Italy, the Euro 2000 runners-up, while in Group Six Northern Ireland look for a first-time win over the Ukraine at Windsor Park.

  45. E7

    7. 12th October 2002: Euro 2004 Qualifier

    Coverage of the opening game in England's campaign to qualify for Euro 2004. In the first of two matches England will play within four days, Sven-Goran Eriksson's men will be aiming for maximum points in this Group Seven clash against a team they have never played before and which lost 0-3 to Turkey in their own opening match. Formerly part of the old Czechoslovakia national side, Slovakia do not have a great record against stronger international sides while England must win their group to be assured of an automatic place at the tournament finals in Portugal.

  46. E6

    6. 6th October 2002: Celtic v Rangers

    Coverage from Celtic Park of the first of this season's Old Firm battles between the two Glasgow titans. Derbies between the two clubs are always something to savour and once again Celtic and Rangers are setting the pace in the Scottish Premier League. Aberdeen were the last team, in the 1984/5 season, to break the two teams' title stranglehold.

  47. E5

    5. 7th September 2002: International Friendly: England v Portugal

    Gary Lineker introduces highlights of England's friendly against Portugal at Villa Park.

    Last season's Champions' League winners, Real Madrid, take on the Uefa Cup holders from the Netherlands, Feyenoord, in the annual European Super Cup final at Monaco's Stade Louis II. Madrid will start as favourites, with their glittering squad that includes the world's most expensive footballer, French midfield maestro Zinedine Zidane. But Liverpool showed last season, when beating Bayern Munich, that the Uefa Cup winners are not necessarily the poor relations in this fixture.

  49. E3

    3. 27th August 2002: Uefa Champions League: Manchester United v Zalaegerszeg

    Coverage from Old Trafford of this Uefa Champions' League third qualifying round second-leg. After their shock injury-time defeat by this Hungarian side in the first leg, Manchester United will be taking no chances tonight. Failure to qualify for the Champions' League would be a major embarrassment, and Alex Ferguson will want to deploy some of his biggest weapons to ensure their one-goal deficit is overturned.

  50. E2

    2. 14th August 2002: Uefa Champions League: Zalaegerszeg v Manchester United

    Manchester United travel to Hungary for this Uefa Champions' League third qualifying round first-leg match, as they look to make amends for last season's disappointments.

    A place in next Sunday's final awaits the winner of the first semi, taking place at Lisbon's Jose Alvalade stadium. This match could bring together the winners of Groups A and C but this tournament is well known for its disregard of the form book.

    106. 27th June 2004: Euro 2004: Quarter-Final #4

    Winner Group B v Runner-up Group A. Early success and English fans will be seeing their team compete in Lisbon's Jose Alvalade stadium as the top-placed team in Group B plays the runner-up in Group A. If England are not here, then it's more than likely it will be the French versus one from Portugal, Spain, Russia or Greece.

  18. E96

    96. 20th June 2004: Euro 2004: Group A

    Spain v Portugal or Russia v Greece. At Lisbon's 52,000-seater Jose Alvalade stadium, hosts Portugal face Spain - a local derby that pits Real Madrid stars Luis Figo and Raul against each other. In the other scheduled match, Russia face Greece in Faro-Loule's Estadio Algarve. The Russians had the job of beating Wales in a play-off before reaching the finals, while the Greek's topped their qualifying group ahead of Spain. Dmitri Sychev - regarded as Russia's answer to Michael Owen - will be the man the Greeks need to watch.

  19. E95

    95. 19th June 2004: Euro 2004: Netherlands v Czech Republic

    A keen contest should be on the cards as the European championship enters its second week with live coverage of this Group D game, from Aveiro Municipal. There will also be action from Latvia's clash with Germany in Porto.

  20. E94

    94. 18th June 2004: Euro 2004

    The best of the action from today's Group C encounter between Italy and Sweden. The Azzurri lost to France in the final in 2000 and will be focused on going all the way this year. But could the return from international retirement of Swedish striker Henrik Larsson throw a spanner in the works? Plus highlights of Denmark v Bulgaria.

  21. E93

    93. 18th June 2004: Euro 2004: Bulgaria v Denmark

    Two teams who have never met before in a major tournament clash in this Group C encounter taking place at the breathtaking Braga Municipal stadium in the north of Portugal.

  22. E92

    92. 18th June 2004: Euro 2004

    Another chance to see full coverage of England's second Group B match against Switzerland in Coimbra. Anything less than full points will be a disappointment for Sven-Goran Eriksson's men, but will the likes of Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney fire in the desired goals?

  23. E91

    91. 17th June 2004: Euro 2004: Croatia v France

  29. E85

    85. 13th June 2004: Euro 2004

    The best of the action from England's crunch Group B clash against European championship holders France. Sven-Goran Eriksson's men will be hoping for a dream start to their campaign by beating the French in Lisbon, but a draw will be more than satisfactory against a team that possesses the combined skills of Thierry Henry, Zinedine Zidane and Patrick Vieira.

  30. E84

    84. 13th June 2004: Euro 2004: Switzerland v Croatia

    The opening match in Group B comes from Leiria as Jakob Kuhn 's Swiss team play Croatia. This is a crucial game for both teams with their next two ties being against group favourites England and France. Switzerland will look to playmaker Hakan Yakin for inspiration, while Rangers new signing Dado Prso should lead the Croatian attack.

  31. E83

    Coverage from Cardiff's Millennium Stadium of the 123rd final, in which the Goliaths of the north take on the south London underdogs. Having defeated holders Arsenal in the semi-finals United will be looking to win the oldest cup competition in the world for the 11th time. They face a Division One team who will be playing in Europe next season whatever the outcome, and who are the first non-Premiership outfit in the final since Sunderland in 1992.

  37. E77

    77. 19th May 2004: Uefa Cup Final: Olympique Marseille v Valencia

    Coverage of the climax of European football's second club competition from the impressive Nya Ullevi stadium in Gothenburg. The French team will be looking for goals from target man Didier Drogba, whose stunning brace in the semi-final against Newcastle ended English interest in the tournament. But their Spanish opponents, impressive throughout their own domestic season, will be hoping to make up for losses in their last two appearances in European finals, both times in the Champions League. Extra-time and the silver-goal rule will apply if the match is deadlocked at full-time, with penalties if the stalemate hasn't been broken by the end of the 30 minutes.

  38. E76

    76. 3rd May 2004: Women's FA Cup Final: Arsenal v Charlton Athletic

    Coverage of the annual showpiece event in the women's football calendar as London rivals clash at Loftus Road. Charlton endured the pain of defeat at the final hurdle last year when they were beaten by Fulham Ladies. The Addicks, recent winners of the Women's Premier League Cup, will be keen to make amends for that disappointment. This will be the north Londoners' sixth FA Cup final appearance in 12 years and they have won five of them.

  39. E75

    75. 14th April 2004: Uefa Cup

  42. E72

    72. 28th March 2004: Scottish Premier League

    Rangers v Celtic. The reigning champions bid to halt a four-match losing streak against their Old Firm rivals, who seem certain to succeed them as SPL kings.

  43. E71

    71. 25th March 2004: Uefa Cup: Barcelona v Celtic

    Coverage from the Nou Camp of the second leg of Celtic's fourth-round tie against Barcelona. Martin O'Neill 's side were runners-up in the competition last year, beating the likes of Liverpool, Celta Vigo and Stuttgart, and will be hoping to go one better this time around. But first they have to make it past Barcelona to the quarter-finals, and on home soil the Spanish side will be no pushover.

First division Millwall will start as favourites to reach their first FA Cup semi-final since 1937 and will be helped by the experience of player/manager Dennis Wise, who has been on three Cup-winning sides. But the Lions face fierce competition from second division Rovers, who have reached this stage of the competition three times in the last five seasons and are enjoying something of a renaissance under new manager Brian Little.

    Coverage from Fratton Park of this all-Premiership FA Cup quarter-final.

But, in their fifth-round victory over Liverpool last month, Pompey have already shown that they can overcome supposedly superior opposition.

  48. E66

    66. 3rd March 2004: Uefa Cup

    Newcastle United v Valerenga. Coverage from St James' Park of Newcastle's Uefa Cup third-round, second-leg game against Norwegian side Valerenga. The Magpies will start as favourites to progress to the last 16 against a side who did not manage a win in the first two rounds of the competition.

Sven-Goran Eriksson 's men have never lost against Colombia and were 2-0 winners when they last met at the 1998 World Cup. But the South American team's attacking flair has upset the world's best teams in recent years, and England can expect a big test ahead of next year's World Cup finals in Germany, with a squad that's missing several first-choice players.

  11. E71

    71. 28th May 2005: International Friendly

  14. E68

    68. 7th May 2005

    It's the penultimate weekend of the Premiership season, but there could still be a lot to play for. Among the relegation-threatened sides in action today were Bryan Robson 's West Brom - who aimed for a major upset at his old club Manchester Utd - Norwich, who faced Birmingham, and Crystal Palace and Southampton, who played a potential "six-pointer".

  15. E67

    67. 2nd May 2005: Women's FA Cup Final: Charlton Athletic v Everton

    Will it be a case of "third time lucky" for the Addicks, runners-up for the past two seasons? They're in with a good chance - Everton last lifted the trophy in 1989.

    56. 13th March 2005: FA Cup Sixth Round: Blackburn Rovers v Leicester City

    The last non-Premiership team remaining in the FA Cup travel to Ewood Park for this quarter-final match. The difference in their league status notwithstanding, Mark Hughes' side would do well to remember the Foxes claimed the estimable scalp of Charlton Athletic in the fifth round.

  27. E55

    55. 12th March 2005: FA Cup Sixth Round: Southampton v Manchester United

    Two sides who are installed at opposite ends of the Premiership and are desperately seeking silverware, clash at St Mary's for a coveted place in the FA Cup semi-finals.

It's 45 years since the local rivals met in the FA Cup. A replay victory for Blackburn en route to their most recent final appearance.

    Highlights of today's six FA Cup fifth-round ties, including Everton v Manchester United and Arsenal's third successive clash with a Championship side.

    49. 19th February 2005: FA Cup Fifth Round: Everton v Manchester United

    Two North West rivals with a renowned FA Cup pedigree vie for supremacy in this eagerly awaited all-Premiership fifth-round tie. The last two FA Cup meetings between these two sides have been finals, with Manchester Utd winning in 1985 and Everton lifting the trophy a decade on. Fans' emotions will be running particularly high tonight - former Toffees wunderkind Wayne Rooney is set to return to Goodison Park for the first time since joining Alex Ferguson 's side last summer.

    47. 12th February 2005

    From OPR's Loftus Road stadium in west London, the last of this weekend's FA Cup third-round ties. "The Ding" will need to muster a Herculean effort to pull off an upset - when the draw was made last December, 125 league places separated the non-league side from the Premiership giants.
