Ange Postecoglou – Tottenham boss press conference on Manchester City, Arsenal and the title

We’ve got every word the Tottenham boss said in a handy transcript which you can find right here.

I’ve been part of one of the biggest in the world for the last two years with Celtic and Rangers and I understand the rivalry, but I’ve never understood and never will understand if someone wants their team to lose. That’s not what sport is about. It’s not what I like about the game. What I love more than anything in the game is the competitiveness, challenging yourself to beat someone and come out on top. Anything other than that has nothing to do with the sport. It has nothing to do with me. If other people want to treat it that way, that they get pleasure from other people’s misery, that is not how I have lived my life and how I perceive my role. My role is to bring success to this football club and no matter the proportion, whether it’s his two colleagues or 99% of the people you know, I know 100% of Spurs supporters want us to win, to be successful and win trophies. That is without a shadow of a doubt and our win tomorrow night will help bring joy to 100% of Spurs supporters.

It’s been a busy few days at the north London club and you can find our Tottenham talking points right here. These include what Micky van de Ven said to James Maddison just before he scored, why Vicario jumped Romero, Dane Scarlett’s clever moment, why Postecoglou is right about the left-back situation and the need for transfers .

If you go on social media then 99% of them will (want Spurs to lose) but please don’t tell me this is your world. If it is, you need counseling. I understand the rivalry, but I will never understand someone who wants to lose their own team.

People are allowed to feel the way they feel, but I have been consistent and strong in my belief that it is important for this club to get where we want, not looking for a silver bullet, it is hard work, perseverance, quality, not dawn false. and you know what real success looks like. Anything in between, bragging rights, doesn’t make sense to me. Tomorrow we have a game that we want to win.

Do you think most of our fans don’t want us to win? I don’t see it that way, I think the fans inside the stadium will create the same atmosphere they always do.”

Not good, he will miss the next two games. Nothing serious. Bissouma has unfortunately picked up a knee injury and will miss the last two games. Other than that, everyone who was available is available.
