Tottenham ‘absolute disgrace of North London’ under ‘coward’ Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham will face Manchester United in the Europa League final, but they have been heavily criticised for disregarding their domestic form.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have only one win in their last ten Premier League games, and now sit a lowly 17th in the table.
Spurs were well beaten in their last league game when they welcomed Crystal Palace to North London, the Eagles cruising to a 2-0 win.
The last remaining chance at redemption comes in the form of a European final, where a win would secure their place in the Champions League for next season.
However, Tottenham may be missing Dejan Kulusevski for their clash with the Red Devils, after the Swedish winger picked up an ankle injury.
Tottenham ‘don’t deserve to win’ – Jason Cundy
Postecoglou and his players have effectively given up in the Premier League, and there is a stark difference between their Europa League and domestic form.
There have even been claims that Tottenham’s performances should force the Champions League to change its name, if they are potentially allowing a club that finishes 17th into the competition.
| Position | Team | Games | Points |
| 16 | Man United | 36 | 39 |
| 17 | Tottenham | 36 | 38 |
| 18 | Ipswich | 36 | 22 |
| 19 | Leicester | 36 | 22 |
Speaking live on talkSPORT (13 May), former Chelsea midfielder Jason Cundy ripped into Spurs for their poor performance against Crystal Palace, saying: “The absolute disgrace of North London that you lot are, what sort of football club have you become.
“This time last year you wanted to lose to Manchester City, now you don’t care about a London derby, honestly you lot are jokers.
“You don’t deserve to win anything. You’ve got a coward of a manager, cowardly fans, and all you want to do is hide behind injuries.”

Football Insider Verdict
There is no doubt that the most important thing for Tottenham is the Europa League final, and that should absolutely be their priority.
However, Palace themselves have an FA Cup final against Manchester City fast approaching, yet they performed to the best of their ability and now have some form to carry into the Wembley clash.
Spurs have no sort of momentum and belief to take into a season-defining game, and one that could perhaps be job-defining for Postecoglou.
The rumour mill around the manager role in North London continues to swirl, and Tottenham are still being linked with Marco Silva, as well as Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola.
It is all well and good putting all focus towards the Europa League final, but if they come away empty-handed, finishing 17th in the league could put Postecoglou in real trouble.
