As there was nobody around to pull the lever on Big Website’s tried and trusted “Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend” feature, the task of flagging up what we suspect may be particular points of interest in assorted top-flight matches being played over the next three days has been delegated to Football Daily. We would otherwise be content to adopt a more whatever-will-be, wait-and-see approach before devoting Monday’s edition of the world’s most daily football email to a lengthy treatise on the fairness, or lack thereof, of the decision taken by Southampton/Tottenham to hand Russell Martin/Ange Postecoglou their P45 and have them bounced out the door marked ‘Do One’. So, without further ado, here is what we will be looking out for this weekend:
The event is going to be incredible. I will try and be there if I can, I would, we’ll see what happens. But I just want to say you’re led by a man named Gianni [Infantino], I just know him as Gianni and he’s a winner and he’s the president and I’m the president. We’ve known each other a long time and I’m so honoured to have this kind of relationship because soccer is going through the roof as everybody knows” – Donald Trump, there, giving The Fifa Man [David Squires™] a rigorous ego-massage while also seemingly swearing himself into the White House a month early at the draw for the Club World Cup. As appearances at cup tombolas go, it was never going to match his role in the 1991 Milk Cup draw.
Can we please launch a ‘Save Ange, Mate’ campaign to offset this sort of thing from Spurs fans. Watching them get absolutely hammered 1-0 by Bournemouth with the only thing saving them a humiliating scoreline being Bournemouth’s profligate strikers was absolutely hilarious. Following on from them losing to Ipswich and hammering Manchester City, I say ‘long live Spursyness’!” – Noble Francis.
