Premier League Games 25/26 January 2025

This is the actual law.

A team-mate of the goalkeeper is penalised for encroachment only if: the encroachment clearly impacted on the kicker; or. the encroaching player plays the ball or challenges an opponent for the ball and this prevents the opponents from scoring, attempting to score or creating a goal-scoring opportunity.

As the kicker was the only person ‘prevented’ from scoring and, because it hit the post, he wasn’t actually allowed to even touch it let alone score from it, that criteria was clearly not met.

It is there in black and white... you're reading it completely wrong.

A team-mate of the goalkeeper is penalised for encroachment only if:
1. The encroachment clearly impacted on the kicker
2. OR THE ENCROACHING PLAYER PLAYS THE BALL
3. OR challenges an opponent for the ball and this prevents the opponents from scoring, attempting to score or creating a goal-scoring opportunity.

The part of the law you're talking about is irrelevant because he played the ball. You are relating the bit about preventing an opponent from scoring to the second bit but it has nothing to do with it.
 
Their anger is directed at Levy but can’t see Ange surviving this.

Called this scoreline earlier because, well, spurs will be Spursy.
If they lose the semi final v liverpool and Villa beat them in the FA cup he’ll have to go, but as you say, it might be sooner …
 
Tottenham's remaining fixtures are pretty nasty. Apart from 5th April when they are home to Southampton I can see them struggling to win any of the rest.
