4 d. ago ‘We deserve a trophy’: Van de Ven says Spurs are determined to end drought

Europa League would be club’s first silverware since 2008Van de Ven: Postecoglou has ‘proved all you guys wrong’Micky van de Ven remembers being told that he would never win a trophy in his career after he moved to Tottenham. But the centre-half, who was signed by Ange Postecoglou from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023, says the collective determination within the club to break the silverware curse will fuel them in Wednesday’s Europa League final against Manchester United in Bilbao. Spurs have won nothing since the 2008 League Cup.“It will be a big thing, of course, because everybody knows that when you join Tottenham, you get the words through of: ‘Ah, you’re not going to win a trophy, you will be trophyless for the rest of your career,’” Van de Ven said. “All the guys that came up here were like: ‘We’re going to change something about this club.’ Continue reading...

8 d. ago The Guardian view on Europe’s growing wealth divide: back to the world of Balzac | Editorial

A new study highlights the dangers of a modern rentier capitalism that perpetuates inequality through the generationsIn a recent study picked up in the French press, the academic Mélanie Plouviez cites one of her country’s best-loved novelists to make a damning point. The power of inherited and unearned wealth in the France of 2025, she argues, replicates the social injustices found in Honoré de Balzac’s 19th-century chronicles of ambition and despair. As in the 1820s, she writes, “Who now could buy a place in Paris relying only on their wage and without family help? With the resurgence of inherited wealth, a gulf between what work allows and inheritance allows has also returned.”The problem is a sadly familiar one across Europe, and the same observation could be made of Britain, Germany or Italy.
