What has happened to Tottenham Hotspur?! Sitting pretty in third and playing some of the best football seen at White Hart Lane in years. It all looked rosy for Harry Redknapp and his players a few months ago. Then came the North London derby and an incredible comeback from their rivals in red. It knocked the wind out of Spurs and they’ve never recovered since tumbling down to fourth whilst watching their rivals rise above them into the automatic Champions League qualification spot. Defeat at home to Norwich on Monday meant they’d won just one of their last eight. Thankfully they have a distraction from their Premier League tribulations in the form of an FA Cup semi final against fellow capital adversaries Chelsea. They haven’t won the FA Cup since 1991 and a trip down the road is sure to reinvigorate the collective fire in their bellies.
This week on FFC are Spurs in danger of losing one of their prized assets to a La Liga giant and will being too conservative be their biggest downfall?

“On our day we can beat Chelsea.
We can beat anybody within reason. In the Premier League we’re capable of beating anybody. Let’s hope it’s our day. There’s not a great deal between the teams.
“In all honesty, they’ve got the medals to show for it with what they’ve done over the recent years. They’ve been there and done it all have Chelsea. Tottenham is a club that has won two trophies since the FA Cup in 1991 and they’re both Carling Cups. It’s about time Tottenham won another trophy and it’d be a great trophy for us.” Harry Redknapp believes his side can beat Chelsea in their FA Cup semi final meeting
