Tottenham fans who want Ange Postecoglou sacked need their heads bashing together.
I know decent memory isn’t particularly prized in the white half of north London given most of their fans have bugger all to reminisce about, but the fact they’ve already forgotten how much progress they’ve made under Big Ange is Postecogludicrous!
They were gonna win the league in November. Remember that? Then again, I guess that’s easy to forget when your team has the audacity to drop points against minnows like Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Sure, his sarky hostility is beginning to grate, like those bagpipers in Edinburgh you wrongly assumed you wouldn’t get sick of, but Postecoglou is clearly a victim of his own initial success.
No one gave Spurs a chance after they lost Harry Kane (and forgot to replace him), yet here they are on course for a fifth-place finish having racked up more points than both Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta did in their first 35 games.
So simmer down, Spurs fans. For the first time in yonks you’re playing eye-catching footy and your gaffer isn’t a squabble-sparking tactical dinosaur. What more do you want?
Where will Tottenham finish next season if Postecoglou stays? Let us know in the comments section below.

Bore off, Man City boo boys
The best thing about watching the Champions League this week was that Man City weren’t in it. I’m so bored of their fans booing the anthem. It’s all performative nonsense, like when Jurgen Klopp stands in the centre circle before games doing that insufferable ‘why hasn’t she texted me back?’ pose.
Most of them don’t even know why they’re booing, and those that do spent last season salivating at the thought of finally being champions of the competition they pretend to hate, the hypocritical, virtue-signalling sods.

Here’s an idea, City fans: just don’t turn up on Champions League nights (most of you do that anyway), or better yet, lobby to leave the tournament altogether. But there’s no chance of that is there? You just want the appearance of making a stand without actually making a stand, like a furniture-building mime.
So do us all a favour next season and put a sock in it. No one cares about your pathetic non-plight.
Listen, I’ve had enough
You know what winds me up? Footballers and managers saying the word ‘listen’ before answering questions. It has to stop.
Even the most basic of queries get the ‘listen’ treatment and it’s become such an annoying cliché that I’m starting to miss the good ol’ ‘at the end of the day’ droning.
Listen, bozo. I’m trying to listen, but you asking listeners to start listening is hard to listen to. Besides, we’re obviously already listening. You’re on telly and you’ve got a microphone under your nose.
What does saying ‘listen’ actually accomplish other than make you sound like an over-aggressive semi-literate nightclub bouncer?
