The question is, are people who have said all season β€˜the players are bad, what do you expect?’ allowed to enjoy the Europa if Spurs win or must they β€˜stay on their side’?

Was mad to me that we waited so long to make changes. Superb first 15/20 mins of the second half, then we seemed to basically lose the next 15 minutes with so many players clearly blowing. Much improved performance but worry it will be too little too late. Will need another big improvement next week

Tottenham make Andoni Iraola top target if they move on from Ange Postecoglou There are question marks over Postecoglou’s long-term future at Spurs with the club currently 14th in the Premier League table.

Tottenham make Andoni Iraola top target if they change manager this summer. Ange Postecoglou future in serious doubt. Marco Silva and Thomas Frank also under consideration.

Standard 'Tottenham Hotspur: 2024-25' caveats about injuries, but given it's been clear since December this season was all about the cups, it's pretty concerning how meekly they've played in their last three cup games. Has looked a real lack of belief and cohesion for most of all three games.

Belgium v Netherlands
Portugal v Germany

Premier League - Overview: Matchday 17 96/97

A boring question that could have a boring answer; anyone remember why this round of PL matches from Dec 96 was split in such an unusual way?

Ran from Tue 3rd to Wed 18th. Only two games on the Saturday. Entire 'previous' round sat in the middle (Dec 7-9th).

Think β€˜for the future’ is the key - clearly a good number of players with massive potential but also now clear not enough at the right level for now.
