Welcome into the latest edition of ESPNSC. I'm Dan Thomas, drawing the studio today by Craig

0:07.7

Burley and Shackah. We also welcome James Oli to the show. He's going to give us all the

0:12.1

latest around spurs. I have an explosive press conference from Antonio Conte. Is he

0:17.2

sacked yet, James? No, not at the moment, but I think it's matter of time now. This

0:25.1

has been coming to a head for a few weeks, probably even longer, really. I think it's just

0:31.2

the final terms of his departure, whether he's going to what kind of pay off he's going

0:34.4

to get and whether he's even staying charged beyond the international break, which looks

highly unlikely. Look, spurs find themselves across roads again. What kind of club do they

1:20.1

press conference. Remember, spurs were three one up in the end. It finished at three three.

1:25.0

They're used to it here. Don't play for something important. They don't want to play under pressure.

1:29.1

They don't want to play under stress. Tottenham's story is this, 20 years there is the owner

1:34.0

and they never won something. Why? Conte, pulling no punches. What was the moment that he broke

1:42.1

that he just saw? I hate it here, James. Well, I don't know if it's one moment necessarily.
