Tottenham relegation battle

The day everyone realised Spurs are getting relegated. Still sounds weird to say it out loud.

Tottenham manager rumors

Joe Cole told my mate that they've made approaches to Harry [Redknapp] with a view to succeeding Igor [Tudor].

Tottenham manager situation

It feels like the appointment of Igor Tudor dates very, very strangely... bringing in someone who's never managed in England before who is playing exclusively a back three for a squad that was built to play with a back four.

Old Firm violence

Both clubs are guilty of indulging the hooligan, undesirable aspects of their fan bases. And they should have a long, hard look at themselves.

FA Cup

Port Vale bottom of League One, no one expected them to be here in the first place... it was all the ingredients for an upset.

Sani Rujavadula

Arsenal youth prospects

Max Downman, one to watch because he was absolutely phenomenal. He's still only 16, six foot, youngest ever starter for Arsenal in FA Cup.

Sunderland FA Cup exit

I wouldn't say it was anywhere near a full-strength Sunderland team because there's so many players out injured, but it was the best team they had available, and it should have been more than enough to see off a team at the bottom of the league and it wasn't.

Wrexham AFC

The online maybe and the Americanization part of Wrexham is quite irritating. But the actual people who were there, who have been there are all great. It's a great story.

Manchester City tactics

Savinho's goal was one of the weirdest goals I've ever seen... he just let the ball hit him on the leg and then kind of dribble over the line. I think it's deliberate.

George Ellick

EFL playoff expansion

The playoffs are inherently pretty stupid if you want the best teams to get promoted, but they are incredible theatre and incredible drama.

George Ellick

Fulham FA Cup rotation

In a season where they're not really threatened by relegation and any kind of ambitions to finish in a high European spot are gone, why they made nine changes to their first team [is confusing].

George Ellick

Wrexham stadium infrastructure

It's so weird that they have those [portable] goals anyway and it must be pretty embarrassing for [Wrexham] on the biggest stage... no one in the stadium but also no one watching on TV at home knows the ball's gone in.
