I think "Big Ange" will want to play a high-paced pressing game with Spurs as opposed to their largely counter-attacking style of recent years. Not really sure Kane fits in with that system - he always seems to have had the freedom to do what he wants at Spurs rather than fitting into the system. Ange may see it as good business to take the money now rather than have the problem of losing him next summer.

Pochettino played that sort of system and Kane thrived. Much will hinge on whether Harry wants to go and if Ange sees him as someone to build around.

Blighted a bit by being a very negative game with violence (against West Ham supporters) before the game and appalling behaviour from some West Ham fans inside the ground. The later will almost certainly have repercussions from UEFA against the club.
A minority of 'fans' ruin way too many football occasions.
Well done to the players and coaching staff. Didn't think they would do it TBH and at half time it looked nailed on that they would lose.

I'm loving some Spurs fans online unhappy about Ange getting the job, as he's not a big enough manager to get Spurs to win things
As if winning things is a Spurs characteristic they need to get back to.

@mariner4life I remember there being similar criticisms when Ange got hired at Celtic.

It's crazy. Like Jose and Antonio won anything for us. Ange sounds like he shares some similar philosophies to Pochettino. And I expect him to be a straight up hard working antipodean who can hopefully bring the squad together. I'm keen to see him do well

I will make my annual football post to lament the relegation of Hartlepool United from League Two to the National League.
boo.. doesnt seem right to upvote that! ,Have nothing against Hartlepool, sometimes I would like a downvote button lol
In Bournemouth news, Palace about to announce Lerma signing.. leaves a big gap in the middle for us, so sure to be shopping over summer. Only real surprise for me was no extension on Vina who has gone back to Roma, who showed some attacking skill from the back

Fitting to tie in with the retirement of Jeff Stelling.

Related to that changing of the guard, probably their most famous moment got a nice Royal mention earlier in the year:

So no big Hartlepool v Notts County game next season as we pass in opposite directions. We just passed the 10th anniversary of this legendary game when Hartley and Poole scored.

The issue for Ange will be the level of opposition in the EPL compared to the SPL - up there, Celtic could have mediocre days and still win. If Spurs start badly next season, the pressure on him to get results will be massive. I hope he does well but will be get the patience and the backing?

Also whether his employers will let him build the team he wants. He has a history of getting rid of players, no matter how big who don't play how he wants..thats a big ask with a team like this.

The last manager who did that was Pochettino. Hopefully Levy feels we have hit rock bottom and will sanction sale of anyone who won't buy in

Ederson win the champs league for City with a truly amazing performance
Lukaku has a stunning ability to always pick out a defender.
