EXCLUSIVE

Jamie O'Hara has finally answered Jason Cundy's all-important Tottenham question: "Are you going down?"

The former Spurs midfielder and fan has now admitted that he thinks his side could well end up being relegated this season.

O'Hara appears to have lost all hope in Roberto De Zerbi's men after their 3-2 loss at home to Aston Villa on Saturday.

The result put Tottenham into the Premier League's bottom three and continued their nightmare winless start to the campaign.

As it stands, Spurs sit in 19th spot following Coventry's 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest, and they will sit bottom of the table heading into the international break if Fulham beat Manchester United on Sunday.

A third loss in five top-flight fixtures has seen Spurs fail to win any of their first five league games since the 2008/09 season.

And O'Hara launched into a defeated rant when speaking post-match alongside Cundy on talkSPORT's GameDay Phone-In.

Are Tottenham going down?

A baffled O'Hara said: "I can't believe how bad we are, genuinely, I can't believe how bad we are. Seriously, what has happened to this football club?

"What has happened to Spurs? [Sandro] Tonali, £100million, turning his back, Savio looks like he's playing kids' football, [Omar] Marmoush, who's he? Have we signed his brother? He is absolute guff.

"We haven't got a midfield, there's no fight in this team. None. No fight whatsoever, they're strolling about."

He then admitted: "We are so soft...it's the softest team in the Premier League, we're going to go down.

"I'm looking at the teams and it's like, everyone is better than us, right now, I'm looking at the bottom three and yeah, that is the bottom three right now, it looks like the bottom three.

"We've spent £400m to get away from the plughole and we're still in it! We're like that bit of food that gets stuck in the plug and you can't get rid of it...

"We're just in there, around the plughole and then eventually, you're going to go through it."

O'Hara attempts to walk out of studio

To make matters worse for O'Hara, he had to sit through the whole show with Cundy, who made sure to rub things in.

He stated: "In all honesty, you're going down. You will be doing EFL round-up next season..."

Typically, O'Hara would hit back at that, but on Saturday, he couldn't deny it, replying: "I feel like we actually will."

Cundy joked: "I think you need to start doing EFL round-up now, I'm serious now, we need to have an uncomfortable conversation."

"I think we're in a relegation fight again, how is that acceptable? What is going on?" O'Hara then said.

Moments later, as Cundy's winding up continued and Spurs fan Rob called into the show with a more 'positive' outlook, O'Hara simply had enough and tried to leave the talkSPORT studio.

On Rob's suggestion to bring back Mauricio Pochettino and sign some players, he ranted: "It's literally the worst advice I have heard in my life, it's literally the worst ever, it's horrendous advice.

"Bring back Poch? Sign three good players and bring through four youth team players? What is this guff?"

He then got out of his chair and headed for the exit, but Cundy quickly blocked his path, saying: "No, no, no."

Unfortunately for O'Hara, that meant he had to stay in the room for the rest of the show and discuss Spurs a little longer...
