Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he was left infuriated by the club’s failure to hold on to the second spot in the 2015-16 Premier League campaign.


For much of the season, Tottenham were involved in a title race along with Leicester. However, they could not hold on to the momentum in the final weeks of the season. After having just conceded defeat in the title race to Leicester, Tottenham’s form collapsed in the last few games and were surprisingly beaten 5-1 by relegated Newcastle United in the final day of the season.

This result proved catastrophic as Arsenal overtook Spurs into the second spot. It meant that Tottenham now have to live with the record of not having finished ahead of Arsenal in almost 20 years.Pochettino says that the collapse by the team in the final few games of the season was totally not acceptable. He also claimed that his summer holiday was completely ruined by this aspect.Pochettino does not seem to be pleased with the fact that the club achieved Champions League qualification. Instead, the ignominious record of being the second best team in North London seems to be indigestible for the South American.

Tottenham Hotspurs Football Club is reported to be in the race to land Real Madrid midfielder, Mateo Kovavic. The Toffees are particularly interested in the talent in a bid to boost the team, considering the decent achievement in the English Premier League (EPL) this season.

The Toffees have had a lot of injury worries of recent which could hamper their bid for the EPL title this season. They go into the crucial match against Liverpool with many first team players out injured. Mateo Kovavic has been linked to other clubs such as Sevilla but White Hart Lane hopes to complete the swoop for the talent that has fallen out of favor at Madrid.

Since Zinedine Zidane took over at the Spanish giant, Real Madrid, Kovavic has had fewer chances. Tottenham hopes to land the midfielder with the promise of constant showing at the Champions League next season.

The Croatian is great in an out and out central midfield position as well as a #10. He’s also comfortable in deep lying play. He’s had fewer chances with impressive talents such as Luka Modriç, Toni Kroos, James Rodriguez and even Isco at Madrid. Tottenham hopes to use these facts to lure him out from Spain.

The player has superb fitness level and has great prospects. His strength and pace will cause trouble to lots of defenders in the EPL. The pure talent has age on his side being just 21 years old. He could prove to be that amazing signing for Pochettino. Continue Reading

It’s about 10 years now that Theo Walcott has been playing for the Gunners, but, Arsene Wenger reckons the forward has not yet got to his peak.

Walcott has had to cope up with a lot of injury setbacks in the past years, but, in the ongoing season, whenever he has been slotted in the centre, he has shown good form.

Walcott had caught everyone’s attention when he was given a place in the Three Lions team for World Cup in 2006.

He was in his teenage at that point of time and had not even made his debut in Premier League.

But, Sven Goran Eriksson, the then England boss, recognized him as a special talent.

Over the years, Walcott has failed to evolve as quickly as he would perhaps have been expected to, but, from time to time, he has come up with class performances to keep reminding people that there’s no lack of talent.

According to Wenger, it’s in the mid twenties that a player makes big strides in the game and grows in stature. So, for Walcott, what he does from here onwards is vital and would decide where he ends up in his career.

In the words of Wenger, “It’s the coming few years which would decide whether he is able to make the transformation from a good forward to a legendary forward.” Continue Reading

After the disappointment of losing to Manchester United last week, Tottenham responded in the best possible fashion after getting a narrow and close fought victory over Leicester City.

Despite playing against the league’s bottom club, Tottenham knew that they were going to be in for a tough match since Leicester have been performing well up until now. It proved to be the case after Leicester not only came back from being two goals down, but they also threatened to grab a winner at White Hart Lane. It could have been a serious possibility had it not been for the brilliance of striker Harry Kane.
