If your a Spurs fan you'd have to slightly underwhelmed by this and the other targets being talked about for the managers job. Season's only just finished but I'll happily put money down on Spurs being mid table fodder at best next season.

He's done a great job at Celtic, but so did Rogers and so did Gerrard at Rangers. And they've both been unsuccessful in the EPL.

Spurs is a mess. They employ Conte, Mourhino, even Nuno and still can't achieve anything (and in Nuno's case possibly trashed his blossoming career) the next incumbent must have a great deal of self confidence.
But I guess a huge salary increase with equally huge severance payments might iinfluence Postecoglou.
I almost want him to go there to see what happens. Thats a bit sadistic, but who knows? He's confounded his critics before.
Sorry, I'm already into footy withdrawal. :roll:

Sours have the hallmarking's of a club in decline, plenty of unrest especially between the fans and Levy. Good luck to him but Spurs issues lie off the field which has a massive impact on the field.

West Ham have been abysmal in the PL this season but won't begrudge them or their fans a win tonight. Good luck to them.

Must be galling for Spurs fans to see Poch going to Chelsea


Interesting that Bellingham has chosen a move to La Liga over the Premier League !

Good luck to West Ham. And thats a phrase I never thought I would utter.
Moyes and Rice deserve it, if they win it. What the rest will do is anyone's guess.

On BT youtube.
Rice is looking a bit overheated, Are the conditions favouring Fioretina?

I'm watching it on BT1. Just surprised by an English side in it that BBC and ITV aren't interested.

They should penalise West Ham a goal when their fans behave like that!

Oh FFS who are these idiots that throw stuff at players? Stupid cowards. It's such a definitiion of a weak mind. But they can hide in the crowd.I think decent folk should report these twits.

I really needed that flag, just have a few pence of my closing trade matched when the goal went in. :D

Imagine if West Ham win and UEFA ban them from the Europa League next season because of their own fans behavior. Thick as mince some football fans.

I sympathise with clubs, who rely on fans for their income and can't be held responsible for the actions of every fan, but something needs to be done about it. Perhaps lengthy bans or periods of playing behind closed doors until the culprit is grassed-up would help, but that idiot needs to be arrested and given a really good kicking before going to trial.

Here we go again, "I don't think it's a penalty but the letter of the law says it is"!
