Last week, after Tottenham had lost 4-1 at home to Arsenal, Igor Tudor was bullish. This week, after Tottenham had lost 2-1 at Fulham, Tudor was deflated. They were one of the five clubs who led the breakaway to form the Premier League in 1992, and one of the six English clubs involved in the doomed Super League project. The squad that remains is a hotchpotch of promising but largely unproven young talent and stagnating Premier League-proven players. Were Spurs to go down, it would be worse than their relegation in 1977, probably the most shocking relegation since Manchester United in 1974.
