    Bolton are facing a critical few days in their future and could be plunged into administration if they cannot find a buyer.

    Wanderers face a winding-up hearing from HM Revenue and Customs, as it is understood they owe more than £2m and they are desperately trying to raise short-term funds before that date. 

    They have accepted a bid from Sheffield Wednesday for longest-serving player Mark Davies, as well as Bristol City's offer for forward Zach Clough.

    Bolton are preparing themselves for the possibility of administration and the 12-point hit it brings, unless a takeover can be completed in the coming days.

    A supporter says it how it is

    This is one match you didn't want to forget your woolly gloves and hat for.

    Fans, players and officials braved one of the coldest NFL games in history as Minnesota Vikings lost to Seattle Seahawks in an NFC Wild Card game.

    Sunday's temperatures were -21C (-31C wind chill) at kick-off, making it the joint third coldest game in history. It was so extreme that free hand warmers and coffee were handed out to fans before the game.

    Supporters were encouraged to bring blankets and "styrofoam, cardboard or newspapers to place under their feet" to prevent prolonged contact with the concrete floor in the stands.

    Blimey, now that's cold.

    "To show that amount of grit, determination and character is how I want us to represent this club."

    "We're not looking to make any statements with the signing of Benik Afobe," he said.

    "He's a talented young player who fits the mold of who we like to recruit - we're excited by his attributes and think he's a good fit for us.

    Pistorius applies to appeal murder convictionpublished at 16:01

    Oscar Pistorius's legal team has asked South Africa's Constitutional Court to let them appeal the Paralympian's murder conviction.

    In December, an appeals court threw out a lower court's lesser manslaughter conviction and found Pistorius guilty of murder.

    Pistorius shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through the door of a toilet cubicle in his home early on Valentine's Day 2013.

    It is not clear how long the Constitutional Court will take to decide whether it will hear Pistorius' case.

    "I've said it many times, Zaza stays at Juventus," said juve coach Massimiliano Allegri.

    Juve bought the 24-year-old Zaza for £13.4m from Sassuolo last year.
