Burnley vs Tottenham player ratings: Tarkowski 8, Mee 7; Kane 6, Son 5


  • English
  • Arabic

Antonio Conte questioned his future as Tottenham Hotspur manager after seeing his team lose 1-0 at relegation-threatened Burnley on Wednesday for a fourth defeat in five games in the Premier League.

Conte's side saw their hopes of a top four finish severely damaged by Ben Mee's second-half winner at Turf Moor.

The Italian said he would be speaking to the hierarchy at the London club to see if he is the right man to take Tottenham forward.

“I am too honest to accept this kind of situation," Conte said, "and for sure we will make an assessment with the club.

"Because it’s not right, it's not good for everybody to continue to lose. I can’t accept this.”

The optimism from Saturday's stunning 3-2 win at first-place Manchester City was punctured at a wet and windy Turf Moor, against a Burnley team which started the game second bottom.

It made Conte question his own ability as a manager after 3 1/2 months in the job at Tottenham.

“First time in my life, four defeats in five. Maybe I'm not so good,” Conte said. “Tottenham called me to improve the situation. But I’m too honest to close my eyes and to continue to say, ‘OK but I want to finish my season in this way [and] my salary is good.’ No, I'm not this type of person. I have ambition."

Defeat leaves Tottenham in eighth place, seven points off the top four but with two games in hand over fourth-place Manchester United.

Housed on the same site as the original Africa Hall, which first hosted an Arab-African Symposium in 1976, the newly renovated building will be home to a think tank and postgraduate studies hub (it will offer master’s and PhD programmes). The centre will focus on both the historical and contemporary links between Africa and the Gulf, and will serve as a meeting place for conferences, symposia, lectures, film screenings, plays, musical performances and more. In fact, today it is hosting a symposium – 5-plus-1: Rethinking Abstraction that will look at the six decades of Frank Bowling’s career, as well as those of his contemporaries that invested social, cultural and personal meaning into abstraction.

Nepotism is the name of the game

Salman Khan’s father, Salim Khan, is one of Bollywood’s most legendary screenwriters. Through his partnership with co-writer Javed Akhtar, Salim is credited with having paved the path for the Indian film industry’s blockbuster format in the 1970s. Something his son now rules the roost of. More importantly, the Salim-Javed duo also created the persona of the “angry young man” for Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the 1970s, reflecting the angst of the average Indian. In choosing to be the ordinary man’s “hero” as opposed to a thespian in new Bollywood, Salman Khan remains tightly linked to his father’s oeuvre. Thanks dad.
