The six damning signs that Tottenham look doomed to relegation Spurs have played their last Joker in the pack after a disastrous result at Fulham

Tottenham are no longer sleepwalking towards relegation - they're hurtling towards it

The grim hypocrisy of Sir Jim Ratcliffe The Manchester United co-owner says Britain has been 'colonised' by immigrants who are 'costing too much money'

Who pleads with Gov. to fund a stadium in the city of Engels, but moans from Monaco that immigrants cost too much. A Brexiteer upset at the state of the economy

Roberto De Zerbi ready to pick Tottenham over Man Utd job De Zerbi is one of five early candidates to take over from Thomas Frank

De Zerbi would be interested in Tottenham job, sees it as a 'next logical step'

Poch also in running but Iraola unobtainable mid-season - plus why Keane is a more realistic prospect than at first glance

According to people in Aida refugee camp this demolition could happen as soon as tomorrow. They wrote today to FIFA and the Swiss government urging them to call on Israel to desist from any demolition plans. The pitch is a lifeline for hundreds of Palestinian boys and girls.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to Β£10 billion with a central estimate of -Β£5.4 billion.

Tottenham brought Arsenal humiliation entirely upon themselves Spurs were so tragic they almost ruined the north London derby

Spurs were so inept and lacked such ambition that they deserved that. This used to be the most competitive derby in the country - it's now totally and embarrassingly one-sided.

Yeah I certainly don't hate it. I think Bergvall in there (if fit enough) might have injected a bit more urgency into the midfield. Double-pivot could hold them back but we'll see!
