The Premier League has lost its greatest communicator and headline maker in 20 years When Ange Postecoglou was appointed manager of Tottenham Hotspur in June 2023, Spurs fans were quickly taken in by his incredible communication style - clinging on to every word. As a Spurs fan, it wa...

Ange Postecoglou was a fascinating football manager. He was perhaps an even more interesting communicator.

Read below the thoughts of a Spurs fan basking in the glory of his success, and a communications professional mourning his loss.

The player we can’t write about and football’s ‘systemic failure’ to deal with sexual violence A Premier League player is representing his club despite facing accusations of sexual violence. And nobody can talk or do anything about it.

A player at a Premier League club has been accused of sexual assault by four different women and has carried on playing.

We can't name him for legal reasons.

“It’s a systemic failure,” says Nazir Afzal, the former Chief Crown Prosecutor for North West England.

Fulham (A) - FT thoughts
We cannot keep doing this for the rest of the season, there are people paying hundreds of pounds to go and watch this tripe and we all - but especially they - deserve better.

Frankfurt in the quarters 🔒

Not convinced I’m desperate for it to come back to life…

Ange is a top bloke & I wanted him to succeed because of that + the dream of what Ange ball is. I also really hope he succeeds elsewhere if he does move on.

But I also think we’re flogging a dead horse now. The project is well set with the right appointment + a few additions.

With the squad size and additions we need, we really need to be in any of the European competitions!

Why Spurs’ “Levy Out” Protests Deserve MORE Coverage

My take on the ongoing unrest at Tottenham regarding Daniel Levy, the reasons behind it and why it should be getting more traction.

Any RT’s & comments would be much appreciated. 🫡

Gen Z think UK is racist and would not fight for their country Definitive Times research gives a voice to a young generation who have become disillusioned with national institutions

Gen Z think UK is racist and would not fight for their country.

Interesting to see such a strong anti-UK/British perspective from a plethora of the most educated / well-read generation.

That might just be that for Angelos. Honestly no longer sure how I feel about it/him. What a stupid ‘football club’ (their words, not mine)! #thfc 😔

And the captain’s complete inability to score from 6 yards out! Deary me 🤦🏽‍♂️

That combined with Anthony Taylor falling for every scream from Villa players and/or fans to dish out free kicks. Pathetic.

Biggest concern for #thfc at the moment is how easy it is to get through this midfield. And that’s been done by far less dynamic teams than Villa.

You’re probably not wrong. Our very good record at Villa Park the only ray of hope!

Given we’ve won at Anfield once in a billion years, their incredible side & form + our list of absentees, this was an uphill task...and then some.

But that feels like such a limp way to go out - & such a shame in what could’ve been an even final. Two more cups to play for… #thfc

To be fair, I think this is a joke following the Tel/Kane money discussion. Others were making similar jokes about different players. Not to defend him or anything…

Two wins and two clean sheets in a row 🙌🏽

Judging by social media in the last half hour, looks like the vibes have gone again! (Overstated importance on transfers? Is that the case at the moment given Spurs' need?)

1️⃣ Mikey Moore - 17y 172d
2️⃣ Jimmy Greaves - 17y 245d

Mikey is now the youngest English goalscorer in major European competition history 🤯

And that’s the headline goal! Mikey Moore 👏🏽

ANOTHER ONE! What a moment 🙌🏽 #COYS

No better sight in football than seeing an academy graduate score 😍 #COYS

Postecoglou says Spurs 'playing with fire' by not making more signings Spurs have made just one new signing this month but are “trying everything possible” to add more

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou warns the club they will be "playing with fire" without making new signings in the transfer window. Story: www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba...

Honestly can't remember the last time I read a full non-Spurs related football piece that wasn't in The Athletic. Level and depth of analysis is head and shoulders above.

If (as reported) further signings are unlikely, this is probably the last straw for ENIC with a huge portion of the fan base.

They should’ve had numerous deals ready to hit go on during the first week of January. It’s hard to argue that this is anything but an act of utter negligence. #thfc

Not sure about the MM/DD format ‘setting the tone’. Sure, it works on a day-to-day basis but, when it matters, we all go DD/MM. See: 5th of November, 4th July as examples from each side of the pond!

Just done this and got 47/51. Will take that given I was born when the Premier League was 5!
