This is The Guardian.

Hello and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly and just how do we account for Spurs being so bad in the league and yet Czech's notes even worse in the Champions League.

Poor Antonin Kinksky twice kicking the ball against his standing foot and falling over,

hooked after 17 minutes, then there's Van der Venn falling over, all of them falling over,

Richardson missing a glorious chance, Spurs conceding 12 seconds later,

and then two players concussing one another right at the end.

Even for Spurs, this is ridiculous.

We have to presume that that's it for Igor Tudor and perhaps the worst managerial stint of all time. Meanwhile, late joy and later heartbreak at St. James's Park, Harvey Barnes looked to have won it until Danny Olmo's quick feat, won a penalty, and Lamin Yamal did the rest for Barcelona. Liverpool lost at Galatasaray. Were they lucky to get away, losing by one, or unlucky not to get something out of it?

And then Byron scores six at Atalanta, so it seems unlikely Italy will have any teams in the quarterfinals.

We'll look back on another missed Penenka in the FA Cup. Round up the EFL from last night. Answer your questions. And that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. weekly.

And you got us all together. It's really mean. Providing the balance. Barry Glendening. Hi, Barry. No pressure. Yeah. Echo Sonic says, you Lars and Marks,

can't you all just claim compassionate leave? We're at the pity stage already. David, there's

no question, just pure sympathy and commiserations for you and any other Spurs fans. And Alistair sent an email saying, hello, I've been a Tottenham supporter for 55 years. In 2018, just a few months after reaching the Champions League final, I had a heart attack and woke up in hospital. And ever since then, Spurs have become steadily worse and worse. After 20 minutes of the Athletic game, it occurred to me that perhaps I didn't wake up at all that night. And in fact, I'm living in Hades, a temporary torture involving watching Tottenham on a regular basis before finally being thrown in the lake of fire. I know that in the past, Football Weekly has offered best wishes to those about to be wed. Any chance you could do the same for those who merely want to be sent on their way out of Hades and end the torment of

watching Tottenham every week. So then, Athletic Five, Tottenham 2. Should we start with Anthony

Kinkske? I can't remember Lars ever seeing a keeper being taken off so early, or actually even an

outfield player taken off so early, 16 minutes, five touches, two errors leading to goals,
