Tottenham Hotspur in ‘big trouble’ – Ardiles
Spurs lost 2-1 to Fulham on Sunday, leaving them just four points above the relegation zone, with their top-flight status under serious threat for the first time in three decades.
Two wins from 19 games and equaling a 10-match winless streak has sent fans into a frenzy as they worry whether injury-plagued Tottenham Hotspur have enough players to halt the team’s decline.
Ahead of Thursday’s visit to Crystal PalaceTwo-time FA Cup winner Ardiles told the Press Association: “Our job, everyone at the club, my job and everyone’s job at Tottenham is to support the team.
“We’re OK now, but we could be in big, big trouble. So everyone has to come together to achieve what we want to achieve.
“Get through this season and then we’ll see what happens next.”
Ardiles discussed Tottenham Hotspur’s precarious situation on a landmark occasion for his old team-mate Mickey Hazard, who is behind mental health charity Legends from the Bench alongside his sister Michelle.
Hazard unveiled the 100th park bench designed by Legend On The Bench at Harlow Water Gardens last Thursday, with several Spurs superstars including Ardiles in attendance.
Former England goalkeeper Pat Jennings and former Tottenham Hotspur captain Gary Mabbutt also attended a landmark event for the charity, which was set up after Hazard’s nephew Jay committed suicide in 2019.
“Yeah, it’s a very, very amazing achievement. I was with him when he started doing this and he started very small but it’s amazing how it grew,” Adiles reflected.
“Micky is the driving force. I come in, take pictures, talk a lot of nonsense, but the right work and hard work is all down to him.”
“His goal was small, but it kept getting bigger and he kept working harder and harder. And now we’re where we are now. It’s an incredible achievement.”
Tottenham complain to Premier League after Vicario incident
On the topic of mental health, the Premier League has faced backlash for a bizarre video released after Tottenham’s defeat to Fulham, in which it mocked Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario for a poor free-kick.
The now-deleted video joked “that’s the way the game is designed” and added the caption “Oops” to a clip of the Italian sending Tottenham’s set-piece straight out of play.
Alasdair Gold gave a speech Talking Tottenham HotspurRevealing Tottenham have complained to the league about their behaviour: “I understand Spurs have engaged with the Premier League at all levels and made it clear how poor their approach was.
“This is the voice of the league. The league should not laugh at its own team. This is strange.”
