Premier League and FA Cup: 10 things to look out forToday’s fixtures | Latest tables | And mail us or post BTL
So, let’s have a look at some of the headlines this morning. Ange Postecoglou has been in siege mode for quite some time at Tottenham, and with his side 16th in the Premier League table and facing a trip to Anfield where Liverpool can win the title tomorrow, he’s been bemoaning the negative narrative around Spurs – particularly last season when they finished fifth.
I love the frenzy around finishing fifth this year … they’re all brilliant, aren’t they? We finished fifth last year. Why is it such a disaster that we finished fifth? Around this time last year, I was asked to lose a game [against City]. And I was wrong for wanting to win it. We finished fifth but it’s not a good story. A better story is my tenure has been a disaster and it continues to be. I just think that the kind of hysteria that is surrounding what’s happening at the moment is all premeditated for a certain outcome. Hopefully we can defy that.”
