Despite not being consulted by the league he conceded that the club has little choice but to go along, but backed objections by supporters who have spoken out esports
“It’s a little bit strange but we need to accept the rules of the Premier League, that we need to go there and to play,” said Pochettino esports

“I need to see things in a different way esports
For sure our fans are not happy but we need to accept this new era in esports football esports
“(The Premier League) didn’t ask us esports
They wanted some meeting with me and all the coaches one week before the season esports
I said I’m more than happy to share time with you, but it’s esports better if you prepare the meeting before the end of the season to prepare the next season esports
“If they ask me I will give my opinion, but at the moment we are not involved in the decisions esports
”He added: “I don’t know what to do (with my wife) esports
I need to find some ideas to compensate esports
(Search esports online for) ‘unhappy wife’ esports
”The Wolves game is the first of three in seven days for Chelsea over the Christmas period, with Crystal Palace due at Stamford Bridge on the evening of December 27 before visiting Luton on December 30 esports
The Palace game has been moved from esports Boxing Day in order to accommodate the controversial Christmas Eve fixture esports
Pochettino reiterated that supporters’ concerns must be paramount in scheduling decisions esports
“We play and we work and all that we are doing is for our fans,” he said esports
“Without fans, esports football (is nothing) esports
We need to protect, and to care, and to look after our fans esports
“Of course I agree with them, that I am not happy if they are not happy esports
It’s common sense esports
I can understand esports
“I don’t know what is behind it esports
I don’t know why esports
No one explained esports
I cannot tell esports
I hope it’s one time and never again, but we’ll see what happens esports
“People love esports football in England and they are going to be there esports
Our fans are going to be there supporting the team esports
But I don’t know if it’s going to be a regular situation esports
”Asked whether the club would offer a new contract to Conor Gallagher – who has captained the side in the absence of injured pair Reece James and Ben Chilwell – Pochettino likened the situation to the balancing act he now faces on the home front esports
“It’s like how we were talking about my wife,” he said esports
“It’s about to match and to feel good being together esports
It’s like a marriage with the club esports

England insist Tom Curry is ready for Friday’s World Cup bronze final as squad and management rally around the flanker caught in a racism storm esports
World Rugby is investigating an allegation made by Curry that he was racially abused by South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi in the first half of Saturday’s semi-final defeat esports
Curry claimed to referee Ben O’Keeffe that he was called a “white c***” by Mbonambi and, after a complaint made by the Rugby esports Football Union, audio and video footage is being examined for evidence esports
If the 25-year-old is picked against Argentina on Friday night it will be his 50th cap and attack coach Richard Wigglesworth is confident the alleged incident will not be a disruption as England prepare to sign off their World Cup esports
“Tom is good esports
I know players will have got around him esports
Steve and the management team have been all over it esports
I’m sure he’s getting every bit of support that he needs,” Wigglesworth said esports
“I’m not sure you can ever put yourself in those shoes and know that feeling esports
What I do know is he’s an impressive young man who, if selected on Friday, will pour everything into that England shirt as he has done on the previous 49 occasions esports
“It will be dealt with by World Rugby esports
We get stuck into our prep for Argentina esports
The process is the process and we have no knowledge of how long that will go on for or the outcome, but we have to get ready for Argentina esports
“Every week there is always some sort of thing you could be distracted by esports
It’s international rugby, there’s a lot you could be distracted by esports
You want to be in situations where there are distractions esports
“This distraction is different, but it’s still noise that isn’t about Friday night, our prep and our desire to finish in the right way esports
“World Rugby has been pretty vocal in following up things in the past and they need to do the same again esports
”Tom is good esports
I know players will have got around him esports
Steve and the management team have been all over itRichard WigglesworthWigglesworth’s words were echoed by Ben Earl, England’s player of the World Cup who started the last two matches in the same back row as the Sale openside esports
“Tom’s a brilliant team-mate, a brilliant friend of mine esports
He’s also an incredibly resilient guy,” Earl said esports
“He gives his all for the team and I know he’s going to be doing that this weekend esports
I hope it all gets resolved very quickly esports
”Wigglesworth was unable to shed any light on a report that defence coach Kevin Sinfield will leave England after the World Cup by mutual consent esports
England’s defence has improved markedly during the tournament in France and they only conceded one try to world champions South Africa esports
“There’s nothing that I’ve been aware of from Kevin, so it’s a hard one to comment on because it’s not me who the story is about,” Wigglesworth said esports
“Hopefully there’s not much in it esports
I’m sure that post-World Cup and down the line we’ll find out if there is esports
“He’s a close ally of mine from Leicester esports
We were two guys who lived away from the club so we travelled and stayed over esports
“I spent a lot of time with him, and even more time with him through this whole process esports
“I’m very close to him so I’m probably incredibly biased about what Kev brings but I’m sure the lads in the environment will tell you that he gives absolutely everything esports
“He’s had a big impact on individuals and gives up a lot of his time to help esports
We know he’s that sort of person and he’s done an exceptional job of doing it esports
