2009–10 Olympique de Marseille season, Competitions, UEFA Europa League

The draw for the Europa League was made on 18 December 2009, and Marseille went up against Danish champions Copenhagen. Marseille easily went past the Danish champions in the Europa league, but then they had a very hard task ahead of them coming up against the 2008–09 Primeira Liga third-place finishers Benfica. After their double 3–1 wins, Marseille were favourites to progress to the quarter-finals.

2009–10 Ottawa Senators season, Off-season
In the days leading up to the July 1 free agency period, a prospective trade emerged for Dany Heatley with the Edmonton Oilers. Reportedly, the Oilers offered Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid. Heatley met with the Edmonton management and turned down the trade using a no-movement clause in his contract. On July 1, the Senators were required to make a $4 million payment in advance of Heatley's 2009–10 salary, and the Senators had hoped to move Heatley before the payment. According to Slam! Sports, the Oilers were not on a list of teams acceptable to Heatley, the list of teams including the Rangers, Bruins, Canucks, Sharks, Kings, Red Wings, Flames and Blackhawks. According to GM Murray, teams were "sour" on Heatley and there were few offers.


2009–10 Ottawa Senators season, Off-season
The Senators made a major free-agent signing on July 6 when they signed former Montreal Canadiens forward Alexei Kovalev to a two-year contract. Kovalev's salary put the Senators at the salary cap limit. The Senators partially addressed this by trading goaltender Alex Auld to the Dallas Stars for a draft pick. By the date of Kovalev's formal introduction press conference on July 21, Heatley had not yet been traded and Kovalev expressed the wish that Heatley would return.


2009–10 Ottawa Senators season, Off-season
By the opening of training camp on September 12, Heatley had not been traded. Heatley reported and participated in camp activities. Heatley met with Clouston and Murray who hoped to persuade Heatley to drop his trade demand, which he did not. After the meeting, Murray became convinced that Heatley could not stay and had to be moved immediately. Heatley was traded later that day to the San Jose Sharks for wingers Milan Michalek and Jonathan Cheechoo and an exchange of draft picks. On November 3, it was confirmed that Senators owner Eugene Melnyk filed a grievance to demand that Heatley return a $4 million bonus the Senators paid Heatley on July 1, part of his contract.


2009–10 Ottawa Senators season, Regular season
The Senators started the season with several changes from the previous season. Heatley was traded, Christoph Schubert was demoted to Binghamton and eventually waived to Atlanta; Brian Lee who had played most of the previous season with Ottawa, was also demoted. Newcomers included Michalek and Cheechoo from the Heatley trade, Kovalev, a free agent signing, and Matt Carkner and Erik Karlsson made the team on defence. Before the end of October, Karlsson was demoted to Binghamton and Lee promoted to Ottawa. First round pick Jared Cowen was returned to junior. Ilya Zubov failed to make the team and was demoted to Binghamton. Zubov first demanded a trade, then accepted a contract reassignment to Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). The Senators retain his NHL rights.

On January 13, 2010, the Senators fired their goaltending coach, Eli Wilson. In the weeks prior to his firing, both Pascal Leclaire and Brian Elliott had poor outings. After the firing, the Senators went on a franchise and all-time team record win streak. The previous record of the current NHL franchise was eight games, set in 2007–08. The Senators passed that on January 30, with a win over the Canadiens. The Senators then passed their all-time record of ten consecutive wins (set twice — in 1908–09 and 1910) with a win over the Vancouver Canucks on February 4. The streak ended on February 6 with a loss to the Maple Leafs.


2009–10 Ottawa Senators season, Regular season

Previous media predictions of where the Senators would end up ranged from fourth in the conference to out of the playoffs. The Hockey News had placed the Senators ninth in the conference, while ESPN's John Buccigross predicted the Senators would end up in eleventh. Las Vegas odds had put the odds of the Senators winning the Cup at 35–1.

2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season
Oxford United F.C. season 2009–10 was the 61st season since Oxford United Football Club turned professional and their 4th season in the Conference Premier. It was their 116th year in existence as a football club and their 110th season of competitive football. In the previous season Oxford United finished seventh in the Conference Premier, four points and two places outside the play-offs after being docked five points for fielding an unregistered player. This article covers the period from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season
During the pre-season, Alfie Potter was brought in on a season-long loan, Rhys Day was signed on a free transfer, and Andy Melville returned as first-team coach. The club also received a large cash windfall of at least £668,000 following the transfer of former player Dean Whitehead from Sunderland to Stoke City. United spent twenty games at the top of the table following seventeen victories from their first twenty-four games. However, only nine wins from the remaining games saw the team fall back into the play-off places, eventually finishing third. A 3–1 aggregate victory over Rushden & Diamonds in the play-offs saw United return to Wembley for the first time in 24 years to face York City. Goals from Matt Green, James Constable and Potter earned United a 3–1 victory that saw them return to the Football League.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season
Once again James Constable was the club's top goalscorer in all competitions, scoring 24 times, 22 of those coming in the league, one in the FA Cup and one in the play-off final. Thirty-three players represented Oxford throughout the season, with five different nationalities represented. The attendance of 11,963 against Rushden & Diamonds in the play-off semi-final second leg was the highest home attendance of the season, as well as being the second highest ever recorded at the Kassam Stadium.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, Pre-season
Oxford announced a number of pre-season fixtures, including a two-game tour to Scotland to face Morton and Rangers. Other pre-season fixtures included games at home to Queens Park Rangers and Peterborough United, a visit to local rivals Oxford City and finally a match against an Aston Villa XI. Joe Burnell was released on 2 July, and was signed by Exeter City eight days later. Alfie Potter was signed on a season-long loan from Peterborough United on 3 July, and ten days later former defender and Welsh international Andy Melville returned to the club as first-team coach. Rhys Day also joined in July, signing on a two-year deal. A welcome windfall to the club was announced on 24 July after the sale of former player Dean Whitehead, from Sunderland to Stoke City. Oxford received 25% of the transfer fee, at least £668,750.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, August
Oxford started off the season with a 2–1 home win against York City, the two goals coming in the last three minutes. This was followed by a 1–1 draw away at Kettering Town. Another away game followed, this time a 4–3 victory against Histon. Oxford went top of the league after a 4–0 win against Chester City, followed by a 2–1 home win against Stevenage Borough. Ross Perry and Steven Kinniburgh were signed on loan from Rangers, while Chris Carruthers was loaned out to Crawley Town. A 1–0 win away to AFC Wimbledon, followed by a goalless draw with Forest Green Rovers, kept Oxford unbeaten, and manager Chris Wilder was awarded manager of the month.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, September
Jamie Cook was signed on the transfer deadline using a 12th Man scheme where supporters helped to pay the transfer fee. A 2–0 win over Ebbsfleet United maintained Oxford's lead at the top of the Conference. Luton Town were the next visitors to the Kassam Stadium, the game being delayed by fifteen minutes due to crowd congestion. A crowd of over 10,000 saw United win 2–0, despite a missed Constable penalty in the third minute. Youngster Sam Deering was loaned out to Conference South team Newport County for one month to regain full fitness after breaking his leg last year.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, September
This was followed up with a 1–0 win at Wrexham. On 16 September, it was announced that the 68 clubs playing in the Conference would each receive a share of £1,000,000 from the Premier League. A 4–0 win against Eastbourne Borough sent United eight points clear at the top of the table, before they fell to their first defeat of the season, away at Mansfield Town. Oxford next travelled to the North East, where they beat Gateshead 1–0 thanks to a Matt Green goal. The U's rounded off September with a 3–1 win over Crawley Town.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, October
At the start of the month Chris Wilder was once again awarded manager of the month, with Ryan Clarke awarded player of the month after keeping five clean sheets out of seven games. The lead at the top was reduced to 6 points after a 1–1 draw at Barrow. A behind-the-scenes friendly was played against Watford mid-week to give players without game time a run out, the result being 1–0 to Oxford. The biggest winning margin of the season followed, with a 5–0 thrashing of Grays Athletic.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, October
A late equaliser from Simon Clist gave United a 1–1 draw away at York City. The Fourth Qualifying Round of the FA Cup followed, with a 2–0 win over Thurrock. Damian Batt's first goal for the club gave the U's a 1–0 win over Altrincham. Before the FA Cup tie against Yeovil Town, Oxford beat Leicester City 4–0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly, and on the same day Shane Killock and Alex Rhodes left the club.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, November
This was followed, at the start of November, by progress into the second round of the FA Cup after taking the League scalp of Yeovil Town 1–0. United then fell to only their second defeat of the season, losing 3–1 at Kidderminster. Oxford bounced back with 1–0 wins at home against Barrow, and away at Forest Green Rovers. Strikers Francis Green and Onome Sodje were brought in on loan to cover for the slight shortages in strikers. Neither loanee featured in Oxford's 1–1 home draw against Barrow in the FA Cup, which meant a replay at Holker Street, the third fixture between the two sides in as many weeks.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, December
At half-time on 1 December, United's long stay at the top of the table looked to be coming to an end. United were 1–0 down at Crawley, and Stevenage, just two points behind at the start of play, were winning 1–0. But in an eventful last ten minutes United equalised in the 83rd minute, James Constable had a penalty saved and then made amends with a winning goal in the 4th minute of injury time. Meanwhile, Stevenage had conceded two second-half goals to lose their game, leaving them five points behind United.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, December
Oxford maintained this lead, and their winning run, with a comfortable 4–2 home victory over Ebbsfleet, but in their FA Cup replay at Barrow they were comprehensively and uncharacteristically beaten 3–1, denying them a lucrative 3rd-round tie with Premiership side Sunderland. A home victory over Hayes and Yeading in the 1st round of the FA Trophy was scant consolation, though it provided competitive match action for some of United's squad players.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, December
Cold weather meant that the away fixture against Cambridge United and the home game on Boxing Day against Rushden & Diamonds were postponed, the latter somewhat controversially and with a large crowd expected. Wilder's first year in charge had ended with a remarkable record of 33 wins from 46 league games. In their final match of the year, and their first league game for more than three weeks, United drew 1–1 away at Salisbury City to finish the year two points clear at the top of the table with games in hand over their nearest rivals.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, January
This was a frustrating month for Oxford United. Heavy snow and freezing temperatures meant that several of their games were postponed. Oxford played just one league game between 5 December and 16 January, the 1–1 draw with Salisbury. They ultimately lost top spot in the league, though gaining games in hand. Oxford's first game of 2010 was also their first home loss of the season, against Tamworth. Despite beating Grays Athletic in their second and last league game of January, Oxford failed to regain first position, due to Stevenage's results. They made progress in the FA Trophy, however, beating Woking at home and Chelmsford City away to reach the fourth round. Oxford also progressed to the semi-finals of the Oxfordshire Senior Cup by beating Kidlington.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, February
A goalless draw at home to Kidderminster was enough to see United back to the top of the table on goal difference. After 90 minutes Oxford led 1–0 in the crunch fixture at Luton, but two goals in injury time, the second direct from a corner kick, saw the home team gain an important victory. As before this season, Oxford followed a rare defeat with a run of good results, in this case home wins against Histon, Rushden & Diamonds and AFC Wimbledon, which saw them reopen some breathing space at the top of the table. During that league run United were, however, knocked out of the FA Trophy by Kidderminster.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, March
United's fortunes dipped dramatically in March, though there had already been signs in 2010 that their dominance of the league was waning. A draw away at Cambridge was followed by a shock home defeat to part-time Hayes and Yeading (both Hayes goals scored by former Oxford striker Steve Basham), then further lacklustre draws with Kettering, Tamworth and Rushden & Diamonds. A 2–1 home victory over Gateshead on 27th was United's first win in March and boosted the supporters' hopes for the upcoming "six-pointer" against in-form Stevenage.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, March
These hopes were dashed when Stevenage won by a penalty, leaving United 8 points behind the new leaders. United's poor form was compounded by impressively consistent results from their nearest rivals: United's return from the month was a mere 7 points from a potential 21, whereas Stevenage earned a maximum 21 from 21 and Luton 22 from 24. Luton also benefited from the confirmed expulsion of Chester City from the league on 8 March; having drawn home and away with Chester earlier in the season they dropped just 2 points, whereas Oxford lost 3 points, and Stevenage 6.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, April
United lost again to Hayes & Yeading in the away fixture. The part-timers (beaten 8–0 by Luton in their previous fixture) thus completed an unlikely league double over the former league leaders. This was the first time United had lost consecutive league games all season.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, April
They secured a much-needed home win over Salisbury with a late Alfie Potter goal on 5 April, and were boosted by AFC Wimbledon's failure to beat York City on 7th, which meant United were mathematically certain of a play-off place, though their chance of automatic promotion as champions looked to be gone as the end of the season loomed. With the pressure eased, United's form improved as the month progressed; after the Salisbury match they won three of their next four fixtures (beating Altrincham away and Mansfield and Wrexham at home, and drawing at Cambridge). An experimental eleven lost 1–0 to Eastbourne, ending a run of 5 matches without conceding, on the last day of the regular season. United thus finished in third place in the table, behind Luton and promoted Stevenage, and due to play fourth-placed Rushden and Diamonds in the play-off semi-finals.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, Play-offs
United took the lead through James Constable in the first leg of their play-off semi-final away to Rushden & Diamonds, before the home side equalised; the game finished 1–1. In the second leg at the Kassam Stadium, second-half goals from Constable and Matt Green confirmed Oxford's place in the Wembley final. In the other semi-final, fifth-placed York City beat league runners-up Luton Town 1–0 in both legs.


2009–10 Oxford United F.C. season, Review, Play-offs
Over 33,000 Oxford supporters travelled to Wembley to see Oxford take on York on 16 May. United were two up after 21 minutes, through Green and Constable, before an own goal by goalkeeper Ryan Clarke shortly before half-time made it 2–1. United sealed a 3–1 victory through a breakaway goal in stoppage time, scored by Alfie Potter. Tens of thousands of fans turned up for an open-top bus parade through Oxford two days later.

However, the following week, Hekari defeated Tukoko University 5–1 while Gelle Hills held Rapatona to a draw, and the side returned to the top of the table on goal difference. From that moment, Hekari didn't look back, winning the remainder of their matches to ease to the regular season title with several weeks to spare.


2009–10 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League, Summary
The race for the playoffs, however, was far more interesting. After the final matches of the first round of fixtures, just five points separated Rapatona in second and Gelle Hills in sixth, with Morobe and the two university sides, Tukoko and Inter, all involved in the race. Eastern Stars sat just three points further back in seventh, with a game in hand.


2009–10 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League, Summary
As February rolled into March, no side was really able to remain consistent, with Hekari's closest challengers Rapatona suffering a shock 2–1 defeat to bottom club Besta PNG on March 6, while the rest of the playoff challengers took points off each other. With four weeks to go, just seven points separated Rapatona in second, with 22, and Eastern Stars and Gelle Hills, who were tied in sixth and seventh on 15. Crucially, however, Stars and Hills had only three matches left to play, while the teams directly above them – Morobe, 21, and Inter and Tukoko, 18 – had four.


2009–10 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League, Summary
On March 13, Hekari routed Gelle Hills 5–1 to all but end Hills' hopes of qualifying for the playoffs. Elsewhere, Inter and Rapatona both consolidated their positions with a goalless draw, while Tukoko University's hopes were damaged after they failed to beat Besta PNG, with the score ending 3–3. The following weekend, Hekari were confirmed as Minor Premiers with a 6–2 victory over Rapatona.


2009–10 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League, Summary
While the two university sides fought out a 1–1 draw, Eastern Stars came from a goal down to defeat Morobe 4–3 in a thrilling game which put them level on points with their opponents, but with just one match left to play. At this stage, five sides were still capable of making the playoffs, with just three points separating second from sixth.


2009–10 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League, Summary
On the penultimate match day, March 27, Eastern Stars could only sit and watch as Rapatona, Morobe and University Inter all picked up victories, which ensured Rapatona's qualification to the playoffs, and, given the current goal difference, meant Morobe and Inter, who played each other in the final set of fixtures the following weekend, would probably need just a point to join them. Indeed, Inter came from a goal down to force a 2–2 draw against Morobe on the first weekend of April, which saw them both through to the playoffs, despite Eastern Stars' third straight victory, a 6–2 romp of Besta PNG.


2009–10 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League, Summary
In the playoffs, Hekari thrashed University Inter 7–1, thanks in part to a hat-trick from Kema Jack. In the other semi-final, Morobe reached their first Grand Final with a narrow 1–0 victory over Rapatona, becoming the first team outside of the Port Moresby province to ever reach the Grand Final. While Rapatona secured third place with a 3–1 win over Inter, Hekari confirmed their dominance to claim their fourth straight title with a 5–0 win against Morobe in the final.

With a budget of €100-100m, we could have a team capable of sustained play in the UEFA Champions League. We must do a better season this year, PSG deserves to be in the Champions League next season. Antoine will qualify for a European Cup, but not necessarily the Champions League. The shareholders are right to increase their expectations.
