Pochettino was a true firm favourite with Spurs due to his success during his time in north London, but for one supporter, it seems that the feeling of goodwill is a thing of the past.

The fan, with the username @tehTrunk tweeted a video that read: "How's this for a barbecue you f****** turncoat?"

The accompanying video showed Guillem Balague's book about Pochettino titled 'Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs' smoking on the bank holiday sunshine BBQ.

Tottenham are looking for a new manager themselves following the sacking of Antonio Conte earlier this year but those pining for a Pochettino return have now seen their dreams shattered.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
