West Ham go down and the great guard of honour debate | Football Week…

Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Barney Ronay, Jonathan Wilson and Jacob Steinberg to discuss the final day of the Premier League season michezonews.co.za

Tottenham survive after narrowly beating Everton, while West Ham’s win over Leeds proves meaningless as they are relegated from the Premier League after 14 years in the top flight. Jacob Steinberg joins the panel to discuss the failures behind the club’s decline, the future of the London Stadium and what comes next in the Championship.

Elsewhere, the panel discuss Roberto De Zerbi’s impact at Spurs, Sunderland’s remarkable qualification for the Europa League, Bournemouth and Brighton making Europe, and Aston Villa finishing fourth after spoiling Pep Guardiola’s farewell at Manchester City. There’s also a heated debate about the rise of in-game guards of honour after emotional send-offs for Pep, Bernardo Silva and John Stones

Considering the cost of signing elite Premier League strikers, Calvert-Lewin deserves a spot because he cost absolutely nothing. Plenty played a part in other clubs deciding the centre-forward was not for them after leaving Everton; his injury and goalscoring record left plenty to be desired but everyone knew what was available, if a club could get him fit. Still only 29, Calvert-Lewin wanted a change of scenery and has proved plenty wrong by missing only three Premier League games all season and producing the goals that have gone a long way to keeping his side in the Premier League – scoring seven in six games at the end of 2025 – and earning a first England call in five years along the way. “For me, he is one of the best English strikers in this league,” Daniel Farke said. “Harry Kane is playing in Germany for Bayern Munich, but in the Premier League, he is definitely one of the best English strikers and he will be a key player for us going forward.”

Real Madrid-stjernene Dani Carvajal og Dean Huijsen fikk ikke plass i den spanske troppen til sommerens VM-sluttspill i USA, Canada og Mexico.
Landslagssjef Luis de la Fuente offentliggjorde sine utvalgte mandag.
Troppen inneholdt overraskende nok ingen Real Madrid-spillere. Det skal være første gangen noensinne.
Joan García, Marc Pubill, Eric García og Víctor Muñoz var fire av overraskelsene til den spanske landslagssjefen.
Barcelona-juvelen Lamine Yamal har vært skadet de siste tiden, men er selvsagt med.
Slik ser troppen ut:
Målvakter: Unai Simón, David Raya og Joan García.
Forsvarere: Marcos Llorente, Pedro Porro, Eric García, Marc Pubill, Aymeric Laporte, Pau Cubarsí, Marc Cucurella og Álex Grimaldo.
Midtbanespillere: Pedri, Fabián Ruiz, Martín Zubimendi, Gavi, Rodri, Alex Baena og Mikel Merino.
Spisser: Mikel Oyarzabal, Dani Olmo, Nico Williams, Yeremy Pino, Ferrán Torres, Borja Iglesias, Víctor Muñoz og Lamine Yamal. (NTB)

Después de un tercer partido desastroso para sus intereses, los San Antonio Spurs recibieron la visita inesperada de ‘El Jefe’ dentro del vestuario. Era la primera vez en toda la temporada que Gregg Popovich, exentrenador del grupo, accedía al santuario inquebrantable de los jugadores, y no hacía falta mediar palabras para comprender el mensaje. “Eso fue una mierda, nosotros no jugamos así al baloncesto”, subrayó por si las moscas. La reacción no se hizo esperar y los texanos lograron anoche igualar la final del Oeste de la NBA (2-2) con una rotunda victoria por 103-82 sobre los Oklahoma City Thunder, que hacía más de una década que no se quedaban tan cortos en ataque en unos playoffs.
