Even Keir Starmer’s Bagman contributed: “It’s always difficult for Spurs, isn’t it? I think the Prime Minister is focused every day on getting up, delivering the plan for change, delivering on the priorities of the British people and delivering on the mandate for which he was elected.”

Some quotes about the BBCwhich show a backlash to Ange’s comments that his job is harder than everyone else’s.

Andy Prendergast, GMB national secretary, said: “When we have members doing 12-hour shifts of hard work and struggling to put food on the table, the idea becomes that it is somehow harder to manage a football team , who make millions a year, just underlined how out of touch these people are. They need to understand the world that their fans who pay their salaries actually live in.”

Gavin Edwards, head of social care at Unison, said: “Managing a Premier League team is an exceptionally stressful job. But the salary is huge and the managers know what they are getting into. Health workers and nursing staff do equally stressful work, but without the high wages, bonuses or payouts that come with Premier League football. As a result, both industries are struggling to retain staff and vacancy rates remain stubbornly high, to the detriment of all of us and the broader economy.”

preamble

Both clubs need a trophy. Ange Postecoglou always wins one in his second season, Ruben Amorim wants to make an early statement. But as Postecoglou pointed out on Wednesday and as Erik ten Hag discovered, a trophy alone is far from enough.
What else is there to consider? There’s the Marcus Rashford factor. Will he? Won’t he? Is anyone else interested? Ange wanted a great atmosphere and judging by Southampton last weekend, Spurs fans will take Daniel Levy’s name in vain. As for United, there’s the win over City and new hero Amad Diallo to be excited about.

They are in the race for the cup. Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT. Join me.
