After Tottenham won the north London derby at White Hart Lane last season, Andre Villas-Boas memorably declared Arsenal were 'in a negative spiral of results.'
The Gunners promptly won eight and drew two of their final 10 games and snatched fourth place from AVB’s faltering flops.
Some things in football never seem to change and Tottenham Hotspur being the laughing stock of the Premier League is one of them.

It is more than 50 years since they won the title, more than 20 years since they won an FA Cup and they've only had one season in the Champions League. These facts should leave all Tottenham fans embarrassed by their football club.
They've been treated to some top quality players down the years, but none of them have turned Spurs into champions.

The club has now appointed a manager, possibly temporarily, who, when things aren’t going his way, throws his jacket to the ground and hurls a ball full force at an opposition player - twice.
I'm puzzled why the FA are ignoring Sherwood’s touchline actions on Sunday. How his players will get any discipline from him is a mystery. I suppose Sherwood thinks a few cheeky-chappy quips in the post-match press conference or a random blast at his players will be the answer.

On top of that, Spurs have had a player in recent seasons, Benoit Assou-Ekotto, who admitted he played for the money and football wasn't his passion. 'It’s a job,' he said, humiliatingly for Spurs, especially as they willingly shoveled thousands of pounds into his bank account for several seasons.
Spurs now have Sandro; a player who seems to show more care and precision with his hair than his passing. He gave the ball away for Arsenal’s goal on Sunday, got booked, substituted and actually contributed very little else to one of Spurs' biggest games of the season. Candidate for worst Premier League Brazilian ever? Possibly.

Players like Assou-Ekotto and Sandro are revered by some fans because they are so 'quirky'. May I suggest Spurs need dedicated and talented professionals rather than characters?

For a short time Harry Redknapp turned Spurs into a top-four club. They were also Champions League quarter-finalists. It now seems ridiculous that Spurs were so happy to let him go. Why didn’t the chairman do more to improve his relationship with Redknapp?
The chairman is the one who can change things at White Hart Lane. The focus now is firmly on the stony-faced silent assassin – Daniel Levy. Is he doing his job properly? Does he have sufficient knowledge of the game to make the right decisions for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club?

It's Durham from TalkSport so pointless taking it seriously. Even so, his attack on Sandro is completely misguided and where he may be a character off the pitch, he's certainly nothing other than a 100%'er on the pitch. Worst PL Brazilian ever? Give over you stirring ****.

The Sandro bit did make me laugh, most of it a pretty accurate assessment, until the last sentence... I mean what the actual fuck?

It's by Adrian Durham.

He is paid to write nonsense in order to stimulate a reaction. He is an agent provocateur.

Even he doesn't believe half of what he says.

Take the article as a compliment. If we were Villa or Everton or any other club other than those usually competing at the top of the Premier League, Durham wouldn't have bothered writing anything about us.

I actually agree with the final paragraph I.e should DL still be making all the decisions?
Aside from Harry it's hard for me to argue that any of his appointments have really worked out. I'd just like to hear from ENIC what their vision for the club is and why DL is still the man to lead us. Not questioning ENIC in terms of their commitment, just the decision making process on the football side.

It's called 'trolling'.

The whole Daily Mail website is just click bait. Do yourself a favour and never ever read anything from there again.

I got drawn in, i was weak. A barrage of tweets quickly followed aimed at Durham, feeding his ego. It won't happen again.

Adrian Durham is the Katie Hopkins of Sports Journalism...

Ok maybe that's a bit extreme. You could never call him a Sports Journalist.

What do you expect from the Mail. They'll be saying Jake Livermore is being recalled next.

Strange how he seems so quick to point out AVBs "faltering flops" ...yet conveniently forgets about Redknapps results at the end of his last season managing us....

Ah, Durham - King Troll of football, and for that i salute him. He doesn't hate Spurs, he's a professional wind up and does such a spectacular job of making me hate him i've gone full circle and can't help but admire him.

He is the Ron Burgundy to my Wes Mantooth.
