20 h. ago Spurs and Postecoglou face moment of truth on Bodø/Glimt’s plastic pitch

Tottenham are without key players for the Europa League semi-final second leg against opponents who have beliefEuropean football has provided Tottenham with a sanctuary during this most confusing of seasons. Their Premier League campaign has been a disaster but they have turned into a different team against continental opposition. They have veered away from the wilder excesses of Angeball during their run to the Europa League semi-finals – their quarter-final win over Eintracht Frankfurt was achieved with a crafty, gritty performance in the second leg – and silverware will be within reach for the first time since 2008 if they can hold their nerve at the Aspmyra Stadium.Freeze in the Arctic Circle, though, and the ice that Ange Postecoglou has been skating on since January will finally crack. This is the moment to move away from the modern Tottenham’s history to sort of dare, not quite do and fall short when the pressure rises. Postecoglou has railed against the club’s reputation as ...

4 d. ago Bowen pounces for West Ham to deny Spurs but boos ring out for Hammers

There is no better example of West Ham’s malaise than their inability to raise themselves for this game. Tottenham Hotspur had an excuse given that their season rests on whether they hold their nerve when they head to the Arctic Circle for the conclusion of their Europa League semi-final with Bodo/Glimt this week, but there are no such silver linings at the London Stadium. This has been a campaign to forget for West Ham, who seem destined to finish in 17th place after going eight games without a win, and only a major overhaul of a tired, ageing squad this summer will ensure that they do not endure more turmoil next season.There has been no uplift since Graham Potter was hired in place of Julen Lopetegui in January. West Ham have taken 14 points from 15 games under Potter and they attacked this visit from Ange Postecoglou’s B team without any discernible enthusiasm. A passionless 1-1 draw, secured by Jarrod Bowen cancelling out Wilson Odobert’s opener for Spurs, was deservedly greete...
