Dismal Spurs can avoid relegation, Igor Tudor saysAFP, LONDONIgor Tudor on Thursday said that troubled Tottenham Hotspur’s dismal 3-1 defeat against Crystal Palace has convinced him they would avoid relegation from the English Premier League. Languishing in 16th place, Spurs are just one point above the relegation zone after third-bottom West Ham United’s win at Fulham on Wednesday. With just one win in their past 13 home league games, Spurs are in grave danger of playing in the second tier for the first time since 1977-1978. They have lost five successive league games and are without a win in 11 consecutive top-flight matches for the first time since 1975. Tudor had arrived at Spurs insisting they were 100 percent certain to avoid relegation, but defeats to Arsenal, Fulham and Palace have made that bold claim look increasingly foolish.
