Europa League final betting odds: Manchester United favoured for Bilbao final

5 days ago | racingpost.com | Mark Langdon

The Europa League final offers a golden opportunity for Manchester United and Tottenham to save their season and bookmakers rate Ruben Amorim's side narrow favourites to see off Spurs in Bilbao on May 21.
Mark Langdon: No magic from Graham Potter at West Ham

The three promoted clubs will go straight back down to the Championship from the Premier League for the second season in succession which might be a sobering thought once the celebrations have calmed down at Leeds and Burnley after they booked their top-flight tickets on Monday. Analysing their squads feels futile until transfer activity is decided in the summer.
Betting on the next Tottenham manager: Postecoglou 7-2 to stay at Spurs

3 weeks ago | racingpost.com | Mark Langdon

Reports have suggested Ange Postecoglou will be out of a job at Tottenham come the end of the season even if they win the Europa League and bet365 responded by rating the Australian a 7-2 shot to still be Spurs boss at the start of next term. Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is 4-1 to replace Postecoglou, although it would cost Spurs a fortune to release him from his USA national team position ahead of next summer's World Cup.
Mark Langdon: Cup runs can't compensate for league losses

When you're losing 4-2 and still somehow go through, that's Amorim. Kudos to the headline writer on the Daily Mail late shift for that masterpiece accompany the match report of Manchester United's totally bonkers 5-4 win over Lyon in the Europa League on Thursday. It's not exactly a line you can have in your back pocket just in case given the circumstances required to produce such a ridiculous outcome.
Mark Langdon: How does Mohamed Salah's new deal impact next season's title betting?

Who should be Premier League title favourites for next season? It was during the first of last week's Manchester mind-numbingly dull derby that my brain started to drift away from events at Old Trafford towards next season and whether there was the potential for a massive title shock, even before pundit Gary Neville led a discussion on the drop in entertainment being served up in the Premier League.

Greek-born philosophers might not be all they are cracked up to be. Ange Postecoglou, fiercely proud of his Greek roots, promised a bold approach when he arrived at Tottenham and the early vibes hinted at a bright future. Even his first defeat was seen as a moral victory, as the nine men of Spurs boldly defended on the halfway line against Chelsea. They lost 4-1 but won hearts and Big Ange – as we had to call him back then – was serenaded by the defiant Spurs supporters.

Mark Langdon: "Future of football" Andoni Iraola is a manager in demand

1 month ago | racingpost.com | Mark Langdon

The relentless nature of football means followers of the game can find it difficult to concentrate on other sports in a normal week but the international fixtures and break from the constant club action allows a brief and welcome foray into something a little different. I managed to catch most of Kyren Wilson's nail-biting 10-9 win over Judd Trump in the Players Championship snooker where the loser bemoaned a light cue ball which apparently took off "like a ping-pong ball".

There has been much debate as to whether this season has shown that Pep Guardiola's style of football is on the way out. Guardiola himself claimed that Bournemouth, Brighton and Newcastle were the "future of football" and it will be interesting to see whether the soon-to-be dethroned champions can bounce back to something like their best next season.
Mark Langdon: Paris St-Germain are finally winning hearts

It ended as it always seems to end for Paris St-Germain in big Champions League matches but their extraordinary 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday felt very different from many of their other painful European nights.
