🚨🎙️ Mauricio Pochettino reveals he was contacted about returning to #THFC last season to save the club from relegation and admits he WOULD have returned if he wasn’t preparing for the World Cup. 😳
“The problem was that the timings were never the best. When I was free, I never received a contact and then when I was working, I received a contact." 👀
"In this (difficult) moment, they called everyone – free or not free.
"If I was free, of course, I come, but I wasn't free. I was preparing the World Cup.
"It was a little bit unlucky. But maybe one day the stars will align and it can happen."
Even if Spurs were in the Championship?
Pochettino insisted: "Yes, of course. It's the only club that always I am open to help. 🤝
"Whatever division. Another club, no, but Tottenham, yes." 🤍

Sorry but I’m crashing out over that performance
A lot of blame HAS to go on the manager. You have to get that group of players performing better.
£200mil midfield, £200mil defence, £100mil attack etc
Not acceptable and cannot be blamed on ‘we need Gakpo!’ Or ‘preseason bad’
🚨💣 BREAKING: Tottenham reach verbal agreement with Man City to sign Omar Marmoush, here we go!

🚨🎙️Joe Hart on Kai Havertz escaping a red card against Burnley, insists they’re doing to help Arsenal win the league:
“Listen, I’ve been in this game a long time as a player, now watching it closely and that challenge from Kai Havertz on the Burnley lad today is a stone-cold red card. Straight out of the IFAB Law 12 playbook: serious foul play.
You’re lunging in, studs showing high, minimal contact with the ball, endangering an opponent’s safety with excessive force. It’s reckless at best, dangerous and brutal at worst. The law is clear, ‘a tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent… must be sanctioned as serious foul play.’ VAR had a look and still bottled it. Yellow card? Come on.
If that was a Burnley player sliding into Saka or Ødegaard like that in the title run-in? Red card before he even hits the ground, three-game ban, headlines for days. But Arsenal? Nah, just a booking and carry on.
They’re doing everything, everything to help Arsenal win this league. Refs, VAR, the whole system. It’s not even subtle anymore. Big club protection on another level while teams like Burnley are fighting for their lives. How are we supposed to trust the integrity of the competition when decisions like this keep swinging one way?
Fans are fed up. Proper fans see it. This isn’t football anymore, it’s a scripted title charge. If Arsenal win it, a lot of people will have serious questions. Absolute shambles.”
🚨 Thierry Henry on the chaotic 5-4 thriller between PSG and Bayern, the controversial Dembélé penalty, and Michael Olise destroying Nuno Mendes:
“Listen, everyone wants to celebrate a 5-4 scoreline, but we have to be honest about how we got there. That penalty call on Alphonso Davies right before half-time is an absolute disgrace to the Champions League. It is never a handball in a million years. The referee basically handed PSG a parachute just when Bayern were suffocate them. You give a player like Ousmane Dembélé a free gift from the spot right at the whistle, and it completely manipulates the psychological state of the second half.
But putting the referee aside, the real story for me tonight was Michael Olise. I have watched Nuno Mendes completely pocket some of the greatest wingers in Europe over the last few years. He is an absolute machine. But tonight? Olise made him look like a lost academy boy. The directness, the trickery, the utter disrespect on that right wing, I don't think I have ever seen anyone do that to Nuno Mendes in his entire career. PSG might be taking a 5-4 lead to Germany, but if Olise plays like this in the second leg, Paris is in massive trouble.”
