Evans: Noble reaching his peak
The European police agency has revealed that a wide-ranging investigation into match fixing has uncovered more than 380 suspicious matches.
These games include World Cup and European Championship qualifiers and two UEFA Champions League games, one of which was in England according to UEFA.
Europol's chief Rob Wainwright said the investigation uncovered "match fixing activity on a scale we have not seen before".
Wainwright revealed the probe uncovered around ?7million in betting profits and ?1.27m in bribes to players and officials and has already led to several prosecutions.
The investigation identified about 425 corrupt officials, players and serious criminals in 15 countries and 50 arrests have been made so far.
Wainwright also stated that the involvement of organised crime "highlights a big problem for the integrity of football in Europe" with Asian gambling cartels identified as part of the match fixing operation.
It was not immediately clear how many of the matches mentioned have been revealed in previous match fixing investigations at a national level in countries including Germany and Italy.
The 26-year-old was on a night out in his home city of Manchester when he was allegedly caught up in a fight.
Footage showed the ex-Manchester United player bleeding from the mouth and lying in the street outside a takeaway.
Some people nearby stopped to help and put him in the recovery position. One is heard saying: "Call the police," while a woman says: "There's blood coming out of his mouth."
At least two people were filming the scene on mobile phones.
Another witness can be heard on the film saying: "Someone has just absolutely battered him."
According to reports, he had been punched to the ground, and was later taken to hospital.
The player seemed to back up the story when he tweeted: "For the record im okay, 2 on 1 well done!"
He also sent his bodybuilder father, Peter Samms, a message on Twitter saying: "where was you lol... For the record im okay."
Simpson's profile has been raised since he started dating X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos.
Police were not thought to be investigating the 4am incident.
Newcastle United did not want to comment.
Westwood has stepped into the sizeable boots of Shay Given since he announced his retirement from international football in the wake of the Euro 2012 finals.
However, the 28-year-old's lack of football at the Stadium of Light, with Belgium international Simon Mignolet firmly established as Martin O'Neill's first choice, has left him fighting for his Ireland place.
Trapattoni, who is likely to hand Millwall's David Forde a start in Wednesday's friendly with Poland, said: "The goalkeeper is a particularly delicate position.
"I don't worry about an outfield player if he is not playing for his club, but a goalkeeper is alone on the pitch and (if he hasn't been playing) then it's more difficult psychologically.
"I hope Westwood can play in the future, but now the manager chooses Mignolet. I told him you can change club and you can play. But with Forde and (Stephen) Henderson we are okay. It's important we give Forde this opportunity."
Forde has won only four senior caps to date, but is now a genuine contender for next month's vital World Cup qualifiers against Sweden and Austria.
Given has indicated that he is willing to come out of retirement if required, but he too is currently second in line to Brad Guzan at Aston Villa.
Westwood has made just three senior appearances for the Black Cats so far this season, all of them in the Capital One Cup, with the last coming in the 1-0 fourth-round home defeat to Middlesbrough on October 30.
Indeed, he has played more games for Ireland, starting the friendly against Serbia in August and the subsequent qualifiers against Kazakhstan, Germany - in which he conceded six times - and the Faroe Islands.
The 31-year-old has been beset by injuries and personal problems since he arrived at the New York Stadium in the summer but has recently returned to the side and has scored in the last two outings following a three-month absence.
He limped out of Saturday's 3-1 win over Northampton, but Evans does not expect the injury to be serious and is delighted to have his man back in the fray.
"David Noble is a top, top player, I have said it many times," the Millers boss said. "He was a big signing for me in the summer, David has come through a couple of bad injuries and a personal situation, but he is back fit and desperate to play.
"We were able to play him in three or four training ground games in recent weeks and we have put him on a mini-pre-season with (coach) Paul Warne to get his fitness up. His match fitness is a different type - passing and touch never leaves you. He will play a big part in our promotion push."
