🌟 Wilson Odobert’s performance is one of the few positives Spurs can take from last night’s defeat to Man City 🏃🏽‍♂️💨 I wrote about the speedy winger’s return, his future impact and how other players might be affected for @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/616...

In dismissing the Africa Cup of Nations' status as a 'major tournament', Jamie Carragher reflected a wider issue of how the competition is regarded in football. @jaydmharris.bsky.social explains why there should be no doubting AFCON's importance. www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

Reporting at last year's AFCON in Ivory Coast was one of the best experiences of my career It's a tournament filled with incredible drama and quality so I had come out to defend it Column for @theathleticfc.bsky.social on why the constant disrespect needs to stop www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

Raymond Santana was wrongly imprisoned. Now, he wants to join Yusef Salaam, also wrongfully accused in the rape of a Central Park jogger, on the City Council.

🤦‍♂️ I remember watching Bryan Mbeumo during Brentford's first year in PL & being frustrated by his finishing 🔥 This season he's scored 15 goals from xG of 8.5 🔝This is how he became one of best wingers in PL with @tburrows16.bsky.social for @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/604...

😪 Spurs have been knocked out of two competitions in the space of four days after two flat & uninspiring performances They look hesitant & devoid of confidence They need to rediscover their identity to have any hope in Europa League @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...

Two flat and uninspiring performances back to back means all of Spurs hopes for the season now rest on winning the Europa League Aston Villa win 2-1 but they should have scored more as Kinsky made a couple of superb saves from Ramsey Tel’s first goal is the only silver lining

Mathys Tel makes his first start for Spurs in today's FA Cup fourth round tie against Aston Villa He plays centrally with Mikey Moore and Son Heung-Min out wide Kulusevski, Bentancur and Bergvall in midfield with a centre-back pairing of Archie Gray and Kevin Danso

😪 Beating Liverpool at Anfield was always going to be tricky for Spurs but nobody expected them to put up such little resistance 😔 A passive performance means their Carabao Cup dreams have been crushed Piece for @theathleticfc.bsky.social on a dismal evening www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...

@jaydmharris.bsky.social I appreciated your praise for Spence on The Totally Football pod and VFTL. I think you're the first person I've heard suggest his cool personality is an asset to his game, rather than something to be 'overcome'. It's part of what makes him great, and I love it.

It has been a difficult few weeks for Spurs but Ajayi, Moore and Scarlett have just put a smile on everybody's faces. Three fantastic goals from three talented young stars. Spurs have secured their top eight spot and avoided the Europa League punishment round Mission complete
