Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham’s worrisome plight was summed up in a deeply passionate rant by talkSPORT’s Abbi Summers.The north London side were further sucked into the relegation battle on Wednesday following West Ham’s 1-0 win at Fulham.Tottenham are without a win in ten matches and are now firmly in the relegation dogfightGettyAnd it was made even worse by Nottingham Forest claiming an unlikely point at title-chasing Manchester City.The table makes for unpleasant reading for Spurs ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace on Thursday night.Igor Tudor’s side are now just one point above Forest and West Ham who sit in 17th and 18th spot respectively.Tottenham are without a win in ten Premier League games dating back to a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace on December 28.And while their European exploits have proved fruitful, their Premier League status is under huge threat with just ten games remaining.Assessing the club’s current woes on talkSPORT’s Goals Show, Tottenham fan Summers issued a passionate rant and highlighted the glut of failures that have contributed to the club’s relegation battle.Dire situation“It’s really bad,” she said. “It’s not even funny because we are in March, we have not won a game in 2026.“We’ve won seven games all season. We’ve won two games at home all season. It’s insane.“We have sleepwalked into this situation.“You know, the board not sacking Thomas Frank earlier. Poor recruitment in January when you knew you had the injuries you had. Not going and getting anyone that could help.Abbi Summers held nothing back in her scathing assessment of Tottenham“Johan Lange (Sporting director) basically came out and said that he didn’t feel there was anyone that could benefit Tottenham Hotspur.“Really? In the whole footballing world you didn’t think there was anyone of attacking quality that could help us. A massive oversight again.”Asked if West Ham and Nottingham Forest’s previous experience of a relegation battle makes them better equipped for the upcoming rigours, Summers said: “I think there’s a massive arrogance around Tottenham, I think they think they’re too good to go down.“I think they don’t care as well. I think the players care, they don’t play for the badge.“I think they think if we do go down then ‘we’ll get picked off and we won’t be here next season’.“We don’t do anything. We can’t attack, we can’t defend, we don’t create, we don’t win duels.Interim head coach Igor Tudor has quickly realised the magnitude of his taskGettyTottenham have just ten games left to save themselves from dropping into the Championship“It’s absolutely impossible to look at anything positively when it comes to Tottenham.”‘Why don’t you care?’Summers continued her rant by questioning the motives of the players based on their continued below-par displays.“How much do you care about taking this club down? For Tottenham Hotspur to be in this [relegation] discussion, it is disgusting, it’s a disgrace,” she added.“It’s negligence from the owners and from the team.“You have a right as a footballer to not care, to an extent. But you have a duty to a shirt, to a badge.“When you play for a club that will be there long before and long after you’ve worn the shirt, you are part of the club’s history from the moment you sign.Summers has questioned whether Tottenham’s players care about the club’s plightGetty“I’m getting wound up now. Why don’t you care? Even for pride.“I couldn’t tell you one performance this season where I’ve watched Tottenham and said ‘there they are, they care about the badge, they care about what people think about them’.“Not one. And you know what, the last thing of that died when [Heung-min] Son left the club.“That’s the last person I can sit and say actually cared about that badge.“Do I think Cristian Romero gives half a toss? No, I don’t.“The one I actually think might care, probably someone like a James Maddison. I actually think he would care but unfortunately for him, he’s injured.“Do I think [Dejan] Kulusevski would care? Maybe, but again he’s not available.“The only players I would genuinely want to keep if we went down are [Lucas] Bergvall, Archie Gray. I’d keep [Kevin] Danso and Micky van de Ven is a good player, I’d like to keep him. Aside from that…”
