    talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan believes Spurs still have “a long way to go” and could only win the Premier League if other clubs aren’t up to standard.

    Jordan made the point that for Spurs to be in the conversation for winning the Premier League, Manchester City would need to see a decline, as would Arsenal, and Liverpool would need to not pick up their standards following on from last season which was a disappointment.

    He also went on to say that Tottenham are “a far better outfit” from a footballing side and from a media perspective.

    Jordan says he did expect Ange Postecoglou to have an effect when joining the club, but not to be sitting top of the league after nine games.

    Postecoglou’s side sit top of the Premier League after beating Fulham on Monday night with goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison.

    This comes after finishing 8th in the Premier League last campaign, losing their star man Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in the summer and changing managers.

    Jordan ended by rounding up on the Spurs squad, saying they have a good team, the manager change is good as “Antonio Conte was a waste of time at the end”, and Harry Kane leaving has given other players the chance to step up and take their opportunities.

  • “Less emotion” – Paul Scholes believes Bruno Fernandes can’t be the next Man United captain

    “Less emotion” – Paul Scholes believes Bruno Fernandes can’t be the next Man United captain

    Man United legend Paul Scholes believes Bruno Fernandes is too emotional to be the captain of the Manchester club following the Portuguese star’s meltdown at Anfield on Sunday. 

    Erik ten Hag’s side were victims of a humiliating 7-0 defeat at the hands of their bitter rivals Liverpool on Sunday and the match saw the Red Devils’ captain on the day lose his head. Fernandes has been heavily criticised in the aftermath of the loss and many have called for the Portuguese star to be stripped from his captaincy role.

    The midfielder is United’s vice-captain and can be seen as the favourite to take over the role full-time if Harry Maguire leaves in the summer.

    However, Scholes is not convinced Fernandes is the right man for the job.

    Paul Scholes doesn’t think Fernandes should be Man United captain

    Speaking ahead of Man United’s 4-1 win over Real Betis in the Europa League, Scholes said Man United need a leader that is less emotional and calmer.

    The Red Devils legend stated on BT Sport via the Daily Mail: “Your captain has to be an influence, leader, calm character. I’d be concerned if United, March, April are going for the title – I don’t think him as your captain would be ideal.

    “He’s only vice-captain at the moment as Maguire’s not playing. Going forward, bigger games, going for trophies, Champions League finals, a captain with less emotion might be better.”

  • Raymond Domenech attacks Mbappé and believes that he should have “shut up”

    Raymond Domenech attacks Mbappé and believes that he should have “shut up”

    Responding to recent statements by Kylian Mbappé on the level of football in South America, Raymond Domenech did not hesitate to tackle the PSG striker. According to the former coach of the Blues, the native of Bondy lost an opportunity “to shut up”.

    Raymond Domenech

    Raymond Domenech does not hesitate to express the substance of his thoughts. At the risk of suffering the wrath of social networks, the Frenchman never keeps his tongue in his pocket. His latest statements are once again likely to provoke many outraged reactions. It must be said that the 70-year-old man is attacking a prime target this time: Kylian Mbappé.

    In the columns of Ole, the 2006 World Cup finalist referred to recent statements by the PSG striker. As a reminder, the former Monegasque declared last June that “Argentina and Brazil weren’t playing top level matches before qualifying for the World Cup”. This observation made by the native of Bondy had, unsurprisingly, been very badly received in South America.

    “Mbappé, it would have been better if he kept quiet”

    According to Raymond Domenech, the top scorer in the French championship would have been more inspired to keep his thoughts to himself. “Mbappé, it would have been better if he kept quiet. You cannot say such a thing, say that Chile or Colombia are not good teams. There are players who play in Europe, in all the clubs. Teams like Uruguay, with top players. I don’t know… He shouldn’t have mentioned it. For me, you can’t say that.” explained the former Lyonnais in the columns of the Argentine daily.

    For Raymond Domenech, Argentina and Brazil are also the favorites for the next World Cup, alongside the French team.
