Antonio Postecoglou finds himself in a position to determine who wins this season's Premier League title. The Tottenham manager's team has become the unlikely kingmaker following the developments in round 36 of the English top flight.
"The table doesn't lie at this point of the season," - a common sentiment echoed across Premier League press rooms this week.
David Moyes has parted ways with "West Ham United" after a decision that seemed increasingly inevitable as the season progressed. The Scottish manager's tenure ended following a disappointing run of results, despite previously leading the Hammers to European success.
By the way, Manchester United's troubles continue to mount, with one of their bald executives becoming the target of fan frustration. The unnamed "egg-headed" figure from the Old Trafford hierarchy has faced criticism for the club's ongoing struggles both on and off the pitch.
Round 36 brought clarity to several season-long narratives. "Arsenal" maintained their title push while "Manchester City" showed their championship mettle. "Liverpool's" hopes, meanwhile, appear to be fading after crucial points dropped.
Tottenham now face fixtures that could directly impact who lifts the trophy. Their upcoming clash against title contenders could swing the momentum decisively in what has been one of the tightest races in years.
Will Spurs embrace their role as title-deciders or simply focus on securing their own European qualification? Football's beautiful unpredictability is why we keep watching.
