Tottenham fans are a worried bunch at the moment!
I know that for a fact because I’m the only member of the Southon tribe who decided that Upton park would become his spiritual footballing home some 50 odd years ago.
The rest of ’em for reasons known only to them decided Spuds were the mob for them and I promise you right now they are having issues.
There’s not one of them ready to tip their team to beat us on Sunday and there are very good reasons for that beyond our form which shows that only four teams in Europe’s top five leagues have won more points so far in 2021.
With four defeats in their last five Premier League matches as well as exiting the FA Cup, the not so special one is in trouble.
There have been reports of fallouts with players such as Gareth Bale and Serge Aurier and some of us have been around too long to not understand there is no smoke without fire.
On top of all this, according to The Daily Mail, Spurs are now said to be ‘willing to sell’ talisman Kane.
The report, which is the back page splash claims Spurs chief Daniel Levy will consider flogging the 27-year-old striker if a club coughs up £150m.
As a result the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and PSG are being linked.
Obviously, it’s not a great idea to get carried along on these stories to the point where we think victory is inevitable but it is quite enjoyable to see media negativity spreading into the Spuds rather than the Irons.
Meanwhile Spurs head for Europe tonight with Mourinho apparently ready to stick by Hugo Lloris who helped man city to victory with two cock-ups in their last game. The alternative is Joe Hart!
All of that helps given the 12 noon kick off on Sunday!
