3 d. ago Jason Tindall prepared to lead Newcastle for rest of season as Howe recovers

Manager in hospital being treated for pneumonia‘No exact timeframe’ for return, says TindallJason Tindall is ready to take charge of Newcastle for the remainder of the season as Eddie Howe recovers from pneumonia. With Newcastle’s manager still in hospital, his assistant will lead the team against Crystal Palace at St James’ Park on Wednesday night and at Aston Villa on Saturday, but, if necessary, Tindall is prepared to deputise for longer.Given that recovery times from assorted types of pneumonia vary considerably, with some patients requiring months rather than weeks off work, Newcastle are anxious Howe does not rush his return and concentrates on being fully fit for the start of next season. Accordingly, it is quite possible Tindall will assume responsibility for the final seven games of the season as Newcastle seek Champions League qualification. A point against Palace would take the Carabao Cup winners above Nottingham Forest into third place. Continue reading...

1 week ago Southampton endure historic Premier League relegation after defeat at Spurs

It may be that Southampton pick up the two points they need to surpass Derby’s 2007-08 tally of 11 so as not to be ranked the worst team in Premier League history, but no side has ever previously been relegated with seven games of the season remaining. In that sense, and that alone, this was a historic afternoon, a new high in abjection. A facile win, though, did not bring a huge amount of joy for Tottenham.It’s remarkable just how bad a team in Southampton’s position can become, how beaten-down players become unable to perform even the simplest functions. Like their 5-0 win at St Mary’s in December, the game that led to Russell Martin being dismissed, there was a sense that it was almost too straightforward to be meaningful. Yes, the knife cut through the butter; that doesn’t make it a good knife. Continue reading...
