Tottenham have become a legitimate Champions League contender in the Premier League again, one season after finishing eighth and failing to qualify for any sort of European football. Despite Harry Kane scoring 30 goals for Spurs and creating a significant amount of opportunities (1.5 crucial passes per game), Spurs were not allowed to play in Europe. Spurs are really doing better now that Kane is gone and setting records in the Bundesliga, and that’s because of the personnel and tactical upgrades they made under new manager Ange Postecoglou. Under Postecoglou’s direction, Tottenham will need to make more astute transfers in order to compete for more…

The Romanian played almost an entire half of football after replacing Micky van de Ven, who came off with an injury at the start of the second period, and the newcomer delivered an extremely composed and…

Tottenham Hotspur have clicked into gear at the perfect time, with the campaign entering its crucial late phase and the race for Champions League qualification heating up. Whether the Premier League will receive a fifth spot in Europe’s elite club competition next season remains to be seen but given that Spurs are only two points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa after last weekend’s victory – and with a game in hand – there will be confidence that fortunes can be placed beyond doubt with a top four finish. That said, anything other than victory at Craven Cottage will unravel the recent gains made and hand Manchester…
As Ray Huff sat down with his family Friday at Live Casino Pittsburgh’s Sports & Social restaurant in Hempfield, he was shocked to learn that the Steelers traded quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles.
