'You're going to have to put up with me for a little bit longer'
Tottenham Hotspur v Bodo Glimt (Thursday 20:00 BST)
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou's future with the club has been under immense scrutiny and speculation this season. However, after qualifying for the semi-finals of the Europa League, Postecoglou bit back at the naysayers.
"I'm the same coach that I was yesterday. The players have never lost belief. People like to mock and diminish my achievements but I'll leave that there.
"I don't care, it doesn't bother me, it doesn't affect what I do. For me, it's always about the dressing room. Do the players believe? Do the staff believe?
"That's much more important than what others may make of me.
"So, unfortunately for a lot of you, you're going to have to put up with me for a little bit longer."

Tottenham v Bodo/Glimt (Thu, 20:00 BST)
Tottenham Hotspur
We will be hearing from Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, along with a Spurs player, from around 13:30 BST.
It's a huge game for Tottenham, who look destined to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League this season and missed out on silverware in the domestic cup competitions.
It's hard to say whether winning the Europa League would make up for an otherwise poor season, but victory and the Champions League qualification that comes with it would certainly help.
Arsenal's men and women to follow suit again?
Arsenal 0-1 Paris St-Germain
Arsenal do not have to look too far for inspiration as they consider how to overcome a one-goal deficit in their Champions League semi-final following defeat in the home leg against the French champions.
The club's women's side have already done it.
They were trailing 2-1 after the home leg in their Women's Champions League semi-final against eight-time winners Lyon, only to demolish them 4-1 away from home to win the tie 5-3 on aggregate.
The comparisons don't end there.
Both Arsenal's men and women beat Real Madrid in the quarter-finals after claiming 3-0 wins in the home leg.
All six goals were scored in the second half, all at the same end, with an England international scored the opening two - Alessia Russo and Declan Rice - and a Spanish player finishing the scoring - Mariona Caldentey and Mikel Merino.
And get this, the Arsenal women's team will play Barcelona in the final, while Barca are favourites to be waiting for the Gunners in the men's final, should they upset the odds to beat Paris St-Germain.
'Arsenal are still in the game'
Arsenal 0-1 PSG
Former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, speaking to Amazon Prime, said: "Arsenal are still in the game. If it was 2-0 then it would potentially kill the tie. PSG will be disappointed it's only one.
"We all understand that Arsenal's main strength is free-kicks and set-pieces. You go into a stadium that's very hostile and players are going to have to be smart and slow the game down by winning these silly little fouls. That's going to be their best bet to win the game, set pieces."
Partey a great 'asset for the second leg'
Arsenal 0-1 Paris St-Germain
As mentioned, Arsenal will have suspended midfielder Thomas Partey back for the second leg.
Gunners defender Johan Djourou told BBC Radio 5 Live that he believes Partey's return could be key to their chances: "It will be massive. I think we know how important heâs been. I think people donât always rely on much of an anchor. For sure we missed him, especially as we saw yesterday those movements that [PSG] come from deep.
"We got attracted to the ball and followed the players and we were missing a bit of organisation. A player like Thomas Partey will be so important to release players like Martin Odegaard, who yesterday was a bit low on form, and Declan Rice, to give him freedom to go forward.
"So definitely I think Thomas Partey will be a great comeback and asset for the second leg."
'I have got a feeling the second leg is going to be a better opportunity'
Arsenal 0-1 Paris St-Germain
Matthew Upson
Former Arsenal defender on Football Daily podcast
I have got a feeling the second leg is going to be a better opportunity for Arsenal.
I know the atmosphere is going to be amazing but that also does bring pressure for the home team, as does taking an advantage into that game.
To have sampled that [PSG's press] and to have figured it out [will help them].
Arsenal's route to the semi-finals
Arsenal 0-1 Paris St-Germain
Arsenal's Champions League campaign kicked off on 19 September in a 0-0 draw against Atalanta.
They then beat semi-final opponents Paris St-Germain 2-0 and Shakhtar Donestsk 1-0 before losing to another semi-finalist, 1-0 against Inter Milan.
They finished off the league phase with wins over Sporting 5-0, Monaco (3-0), Dinamo Zagreb (also 3-0) and Girona (2-1).
After qualifying directly for the last-16, Arsenal faced PSV across two legs but had the tie sewn up in the first leg with a 7-1 win away from home. They drew the return leg 2-2 to progress 9-3 on aggregate.
The quarter-finals saw the Guners brush off defending champions Real Madrid, expertly dispatching the holders with a 3-0 win at home and 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu.
But could a campaign that promised so much have come undone with Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at home to PSG in the first leg of their semi-final tie?
'Experience makes a difference'
Arsenal 0-1 PSG
John Murray
BBC Radio 5 Live chief football correspondent on Football Daily podcast
Experience in this competition does count, it really does. They were in the semi-finals last season PSG, lost both legs 1-0 to Dortmund. This is new for Arsenal, quarter-finals last season so they went far in the competition but to be at this level for the first time for this group of players, first time for 16 years, I think it does make a difference.
I think we saw that with Aston Villa in the fact that in the first leg when Nuno Mendes scored a third goal in added time, some teams would have done something. It's the game management.
