Citizens, not merely spectators. Drawn by duty; by hope; by the an

Eddie Howe has all the qualities necessary to reach unquestioned elite status but…

This ‘Tottenham Way’ isn’t for Newcastle United

In the hours since the sacking of Igor Tudor, I have seen a lot of mentions of how him not buying into the ‘Tottenham Way’, was a major part of his downfall.Sunday seeing the Spurs boss sacked after six weeks in the job, quite incredible.Tottenham say they intend to name the replacement in the very
