I feel like I’m diving into this month eyes-wide shut.
Can you really blame me, though, when you look at the two men who are behind the steering wheel? (Pretend, for this analogy, that it’s a tandem steering wheel). Still, there’s a fair amount of football to play, so let’s get to it.
Tottenham Hotspur women: The women’s squad is coming into this month a little bit humbled after a 5-2 defeats against Arsenal and Manchester City in back-to-back weeks. Spurs are fifth in the table of the Women’s Super League, but these two results show us there remains a sizable gap between Tottenham and the top four. Still, it’s a big improvement from last year.
The manager at the heart of this improvement, Martin Ho, was recently handed a new, long-term contract with the club (although the club did not actually say how long this one was). This month doesn’t get any easier with a derby against Chelsea in the Women’s FA Cup and a home game against Manchester United later this month. It’s a pretty tough end to the season.
If we’re looking even further ahead, there’s still matches against London City and Brighton (who sit seventh and sixth in the table, respectively). April schedule: at Chelsea (FA Women’s Cup, 6 April); Manchester United (26 April) Tottenham Hotspur men: Gosh, where do I even begin? Tottenham sit one point above the relegation zone and have a new manager in Roberto De Zerbi, whose appointment was met with vociferous opposition from this community and a swathe of other Spurs fan groups.
