It would be fantastic to help Albion get a win and help United as well in their bid for the championship I personally feel we can beat anyone. But Richardson feels Albion deserve some tangible reward after a series of promising away performances which have yielded little in terms of points.Richardson said: “We feel we deserve a win away from home. No one has a divine right to be in the team and the competition for places up front at this club is very healthy at the moment.”Robson insisted: “When Earnie gets his chance again, which he will do, he has to be nice and sharp and get about his game, but I think there has been an improvement in Earnshaw’s overall game.”In my first game here I thought he was only interested in scoring a goal and his overall contribution to the team wasn’t quite good enough, but he’s worked on that and it’s good that he’s taken that on board.”Earnie’s still a young player and has just come from the Championship so he is finding out the quality you need in the Premiership.”He’s still learning his trade and he’s still learning about the Premiership, but he’s doing all right. He said he had talked to a reporter about Earnie’s goal ratio, but insisted he hadn’t said anything like Earnie should be in the team.”As with all of our players, Earnie’s got to play for the right to be in the team. But Robson and Eves reached an agreement after Albion’s 2-0 win, which gave the club a lifeline in their campaign to stay in the top flight.And Robson is full of praise for the way Earnshaw is striving to develop his all-round game rather than just being regarded as an out-and-out goalscorer.Robson said: “Mel said he had been misquoted. That happened hours after Eves had criticised the way Robson had been handling 10-goal Earnshaw in a newspaper article. We wish him well for the future.”Royle said: “I am pleased the behaviour of the club has been criticised.

When I was given the money after the earlier case City suggested it go to charity, so I assume they will adhere to their own suggestion.”I don’t want to become embroiled in a war of words, and the final line is this is going to the House of Lords I don’t have any regrets.”. Mr Royle was properly compensated by the club at the time of his dismissal following our relegation from the Premier League in 2001. One idea the ethics committee will look at is whether it is practical to only appoint referees the day before a match takes place.Blatter said that South Korea will host the 2007 Under-17 World Championships, which will now involve 24 teams instead of the current 16.. “He’s always been a good jumper at home and was brilliant from the word go on his debut,” he said of the five-year-old, “and he’s been in terrific form since his latest win.”Hobbs also gave favourable mention to six-year-old Chilling Place, 20-1 for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle after a dull run at Sandown in January “He didn’t like the soft ground,” he said.

“I think he’s got a much better chance than the betting suggests. I can see him running a very big race.”Kicking King, second favourite for the Gold Cup until he was ruled out of the Festival by incipient illness early last week, may be ruled back in again. The seven-year-old, who also holds an entry in the two-and-a-half mile Daily Telegraph Trophy, scoped badly eight days ago but appears to have adopted something of a Mark Twain role. His trainer, Tom Taaffe, will be clarifying any exaggerations tomorrow “Things are looking a bit more upbeat,” he said yesterday. “I will be issuing a statement on Thursday, by which time we will be a bit wiser.”.
