'This is a joke, a total joke!': Jose Mourinho rages at Premier League and EFL with Tottenham in the midst of a potential fixture pile-up of NINE games in 22 days

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has fired a broadside at the Premier League and EFL as his team prepare to play three times in a week on multiple fronts.

Spurs are having to negotiate the Europa League qualifying rounds by winning three matches to get into the group stage, with Premier League and League Cup matches also in the mix.

After returning from Bulgaria where they beat Lokomotiv Plovdiv on Thursday, Tottenham visit Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday and Leyton Orient in the League Cup on Tuesday before a trip to Macedonia to play Shkendija on Thursday.
