GIF It: Tottenham manager Andre Villas Boas takes a ball to the shoulder Posted: 22 Feb 2013 03:28 AM PST Spurs boss Andre Villas Boas was going a bit crazy in the closing stages of last night’s Europa League gesture, delivering frenzied tactical instruction and wildly gesturing with his arms. Somebody took the decision to calm him down a bit: disable the crazy arms.

Bet’s be ‘avin you: Betting tips for the 23-24 February Posted: 22 Feb 2013 01:32 AM PST Buggery, buggery, buggery. Another week in which things get let down. Still no panic with £42 returned from the £50, and Crystal Palace highlighted the lunacy of their odds against in style, but Cheltenham’s inability to force a winner and Gil Vicente’s late defeat caused a great deal of hit to the bank balance. Still, [...]

Swansea boss Michael Laudrup to frighten his side with Bradford giant-killing DVD Posted: 22 Feb 2013 01:30 AM PST Michael Laudrup is hoping to scare his Swansea players into action for Sunday’s Capital One Cup final by showing them a DVD of opponents Bradford’s giant-killing exploits to date. The Swans boss wants to guard against complacency from his Premier League stars when they face the League Two Bantams at Wembley, and he thinks a [...]

It’s a huge weekend for Wenger, Warnock, Reading & Wigan and Inter Milan Posted: 22 Feb 2013 01:29 AM PST Arsene Wenger Has it ever been a bigger weekend for the Arsenal manager. After his side were abject against Blackburn last weekend, they were simply outclassed by a Bayern side in midweek. It will be eight years without a trophy, but Wenger has to get his side up for the battle for fourth place: that [...]

Video: Tottenham keeper Brad Friedel silences chatty Lyon fans Posted: 22 Feb 2013 01:10 AM PST Spurs goalkeeper Brad Friedel had a rough night at the hands of Lyon supporters during last night’s Europa League clash. It seems the French side’s fans had taken exception to the fact that everyone’s favourite near-geriatric goalie was keeping former Lyon hero Hugo Lloris out of the side. But Friedel clearly enjoyed having his say [...]

ITV cut-away from Lyon vs Tottenham to show you the Newcastle team bus Posted: 22 Feb 2013 12:56 AM PST ITV’s nasty habit of interrupting live football matches to show something not quite as important continued last night. In the past it’s been a Tic-Tac advert and their newsreader, but last night they broke off from the closing moments of the first-half of Lyon vs Tottenham to show you… a team bus. We’ve seen most [...]

GIF It: Moussa Dembele’s 90th minute goal puts Tottenham through against Lyon Posted: 22 Feb 2013 12:38 AM PST Tottenham progressed in the Europa League in dramatic fashion after a late strike from Moussa Dembele. Andre Villas Boas’ side were on the verge of being knocked out on away goals by Lyon. But former Fulham man Dembele fired in a brilliant 90th minute effort to make it 1-1 on the night. Spurs went through [...]

GIF It: Liverpool striker Luis Suarez stamps on Zenit St Petersburg’s Tomas Hubocan Posted: 22 Feb 2013 12:30 AM PST Luis Suarez was instrumental in Liverpool’s valiant attempts at a Europa League comeback against Zenit St Petersburg – but again found the time to blot his copybook before the end of the match. The Uruguayan appeared to stamp on Tomas Hubocan’s back in what looked like an entirely avoidable incident in the closing stages of [...]

Former Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio breaks into his old office to tear down pictures Posted: 22 Feb 2013 12:19 AM PST Swindon Town have been forced to change their locks after ex-manager Paolo Di Canio went into the stadium in the middle of the night to remove photographs of his success with the club, the Daily Mail reports. The Italian, accompanied by at least one member of his backroom team, reportedly raided the County Ground in [...]
