Mourinho mentions the two Spurs stars he badly needed for the last 15 mins last night
Tottenham Hotspur were held to a 1-1 draw at home yesterday by Manchester United after Bruno Fernandes’ 81st-minute penalty struck out Steven Bergwijn’s 27th-minute opener. It dealt a blow on Spurs’ top-four chances and they could find themselves outside the top-10 at the end of matchday 30. The Red Devils were the better team last night, registering more possession (61%), shots (12) and shots on target (6) than the host, and they could have left with all three points if VAR hadn’t overruled the second penalty Jon Moss awarded them. Spurs had just three shots on target out of 10 attempts, and boss Jose Mourinho was left ruing his side’s lack of attacking options on the bench. While his United counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brought on strikers Mason Greenwood and Odion Ighalo in the ...

Report: What will happen if Ashley decides to sell Newcastle to Mauriss instead of PIF
According to Football finance expert Kieran Maguire (via The Chronicle), Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley will take a serious financial hit should he decide to sell the club to American media mogul Henry Mauriss instead of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. The Magpies chairman has already agreed to sell the St. James’ Park outfit to PIF for £300 million, but the Premier League is yet to give the takeover the seal of approval, and Mauriss is readying a £350 million offer should the Saudis’ bid gets knocked back. It remains to be seen if the EPL legal team will deem PIF worthy of owning Newcastle following the release of the World Trade Organization report on Saudis’ piracy, but rejecting their bid will be bad news for Ashley. A £17 million deposit has already been made, indicating th...

Elyounoussi’s wages of £60,000-a-week could be a problem for the Scottish giants. They are unli...

I for one am lobbying hard for that,” the West Ham chie...

He took to Twitter to lay into both Keane and Evra: “Roy Keane and Evra talking about how Spurs have had a soft DNA at the back for years. Such lazy punditry from the pair.
