'I am not a clown and never will be'published at 16:16 British Summer Time
Tottenham v Man Utd (Wed, 20:00 BST)
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou was asked whether he is aware that he is walking a fine line between infamy and history with regard to the result tomorrow: "That depends on your outlook but I'll tell you one thing, irrespective of tomorrow, I'm not a clown and never will be.
"You really disappointed me that you used such terminology to describe a person that for 26 years, without any favours from anyone, has worked his way to a position where he is leading out a club in a European final.
"For you to suggest that somehow us not being successful means that I'm a clown, I'm not sure how to answer that question."

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou on how he would assess his impact over the last two years: "It's hard to contextualise the challenges of the last couple of years. From my perspective, I came into the club with some pretty clear objectives.
"I've tried as hard as I can to stick to that process in getting the club to a position where they can challenge for trophies and at the same time, rejuvenate the squad and change the playing style. It has been a fair assignment with plenty of challenges along the way."
"With such a big game tomorrow, there is an opportunity to fulfil at least the main task I was given which was to bring trophies to the club."

Hardly a seat to be had.

Last-minute press conference preparations including ensuring there is translation available for all three people involved - Ange Postecoglou, Son Heung-min and Pedro Porro - who will all be appearing together in the news conference.
There also has to be a way of getting the audio straight to the back of the room, where the various TV and radio outlets - including BBC Radio 5 Live - are plugged in.
The technicalities on occasions like this are immense. All for a football game.
