'The best decision' or 'disgraceful' and 'typically Spursy once again'?
Here are some more of your comments about Tottenham's decision to sack Ange Postecoglou:Graham: Tough one. Terrible season in the league, but finally, the monkey is off our back. And that's entirely down to Ange. We've never been a forward-thinking club, and Levy has to either change or we carry on pretending we're in the big league. Surviving in the Premier League is not Out of his depth. In other seasons could have been relegated. Just as well there were three worse teams. An embarrassment to finish behind Manchester United and Without a shadow of doubt, this is the best decision. Ange had to go, and I have said this from day one. He was way out of his depth. We were extremely lucky not to get relegated. I feel sorry for him, but he definitely didn't have a clue, and that was obvious with 22 defeats. Phillip: Absolutely the right decision. Our overall performance this season was unacceptable, and we could very easily have lost the final against a poor Manchester A totally expected but disgraceful decision from Levy. Maybe he should reflect on his own performances. Typically Spursy once again. The board should hang their heads in Football is supposed to be about glory, and winning trophies. Ange did that, with a team on their knees at times, without proper backing from the board. And he's thanked with the sack. Madness! I know the league form was poor, but they were never in danger of relegation, and there were obvious reasons for that form in injuries to key players. Levy has got this badly Really disappointing decision. I truly believe this is the wrong call, and the board will have to answer for what follows. Thank you, Ange, for everything you've done for the club - especially for delivering moments we'll never forget. Wishing him every success ahead. He'll always be welcome back. The first manager since Poch who genuinely felt connected to the club.

Piri piri monkfish with runner bean relish
Monkfish on the bone is perfect for a piri piri dish like this – its firm flesh stands up to the heat and a good roast. You can use other fish, just go a bit gentler with flakier varieties when it comes to cooking and serving. The relish is a great way to use up a glut of runner beans – you can also serve it as part of an antipasti spread or with grilled meats and veg. Requires marinating time. Overview Prep time 20 mins Cook time 35 mins Serves 4 Ingredients For the marinated fish 4-5 red chillies juice of 1 lemon 4 garlic cloves, peeled 2 bay leaves ½ tbsp white wine vinegar or cider vinegar 2 tsp paprika 60ml vegetable or rapeseed oil 1 x 1kg monkfish tail or 2 x 500g tails, trimmed For the relish handful of runner beans (about 6-7), trimmed and diced 1 red onion, finely chopped ½ tbsp white wine vinegar or cider vinegar 2 medium tomatoes (seeds removed), diced ½ red chilli, finely chopped 1 tbsp chopped coriander, plus extra to serve 2 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil

Live England vs West Indies, first T20: latest score and updates
Latest updates Luke Slater 06 June 2025 6:46pm 6:45PM OVER 2: ENG 21/1 (Smith 13 Buttler 4) Buttler gets off the mark with a lofted drive straight down the ground. A stand-and-deliver type shot. A bit full from Shepherd. Another single to Buttler to finish the over. Fair to say the atmosphere in the ground is a little... dead at the moment. Plenty of people there, though. 6:41PM WICKET! Duckett c Hope b Shepherd 1 Duckett tries to pull a slower ball back of a length and he is caught out... figuratively and literally. West Indies have an early wicket. Got a bit high and him and it went straight up in the air. Shai Hope gets under it and it is a very simple catch. 6:38PM OVER 1: ENG 16/0 (Duckett 1 Smith 13) Jason Holder to open the bowling. Four runs off the second ball of the over with Smith driving well down the ground. A bit of a delay as sawdust is applied to the footmarks on the pitch. Smith then goes over the top to a short one which is hoiked over to the deep square leg boundary. Guided it rather than killing it. Shai Hope thinks he might have caught Duckett with a snick down the leg side but he is the only one on the field. The umpire signals a wide and Duckett is off the mark next ball with a single. A very good first over for England so far without too much drama. It gets better as Smith then picks up his third four of the over by charging down the wicket and thumping the ball down the ground. He didn't get all of it and it sounded a bit... clothy... but it beat Andre Russell to the boundary. 6:09PM Team news 6:04PM England have won the toss They are going to have a bat. Harry Brook, England captain: 'It looks like a good pitch and hopefully we can get a decent score on the board.' Jos Buttler is batting at three. Hopefully he can do what he usually does, score big runs and win us matches,' Brook says. 5:58PM Mark Wood returns to bowling... at a very gentle intensity Good evening from Chester-le-Street, which is looking delightful in the sun. So we are expecting a full game. Local hero Mark Wood isn't playing, of course, but he made his first – very gentle – return to bowling today which should give England some cheer for the challenges that lie ahead. 5:54PM England's most recent results in T20 cricket Lost to India by 150 runs Lost to India by 15 runs Beat India by 26 runs Lost to India by two wickets Lost to India by seven wickets England did beat West Indies 3-1 in their most recent T20 series before this one, but India gave England a pasting.
