Ange Postecoglu, Tottenham Hotspur’s manager, continues to have a rocky relationship with the media. Since the “I ALWAYS win trophies in the second year” remark and the response to it, there has been an increase in animosity between the two sides
With a London derby against Brentford FC looming, let’s look at these quotes from yesterday night’s EFL Cup victory over Coventry City.
“I don’t make substitutions by poll, mate,” Ange replied sarcastically to a reporter’s inquiry about substitutions.
Brentford FC will face Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, September 21, at 3pm at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, UK.
Spurs DWLL, 4 points, 13th; Brentford WLWL, 6 points, 9th.
“So, you know, I’m sure the fans have their own thoughts, but Lucas, as I mentioned, this is his first big game time in quite a while. What I did not want was to push guys over the brink. I had some decent players on the bench who I thought could make an impact.
Perhaps he will disagree with our predictions for the starting lineup.

Arsenal explained why their winning goal against Tottenham should not have stood
Arsenal hero believes Spurs defender Cristian Romero was fouled in the build-up to his decisive second-half header
Arsenal great Paul Merson has confessed that his former team’s winning goal against Tottenham probably should not have stood.
The title-chasing Gunners gained bragging rights in the north London derby once more on Sunday afternoon, despite missing a number of key players due to injury, recording their third consecutive away league victory over their fiercest rivals for the first time since 1988.
However, there were concerns about whether Gabriel fouled Romero with a shove in the back before scoring what proved to be the winning goal in N17, with Gunners veteran Merson admitting that he expected a free kick and criticising the Argentine’s defence.
“I’d be disappointed if I didn’t get a foul,” he admitted on Sky Sports. “I would be disappointed.” He is in the incorrect position, and his defense is completely flawed.
“He’s a centre-half, an international; even I know – and I don’t even play defense – that you have to be side-on. You must be able to view both the ball and your player.
