Chris Sutton exposes EPL Pundits, names why they desperately Dislike Spurs, reveals what Gary Neville, Ian Wright and co wish could happen to Tottenham and it’s NOT about the Premier League Title.
Tottenham’s strong start to the season has left some ‘jealous’ and ‘worried’, claims Chris Sutton, as he says there are people who want to see the team’s unbeaten start come to an end.
Ange Postecoglou’s men are 4th on the table after back to back defeats against Chelsea and Wolves, having been top of the log for the first 10 games of the campaign.
There will still be plenty of skeptics over whether they can become serious title contenders from now until the end of the season given their recent struggles as a club.
However, Sutton believes there is a feeling of ‘jealousy’ over the project Postecoglou is building and the attractive style he has brought to Spurs.
Speaking on Mail Sport’s new podcast It’s All Kicking Off, Sutton said: ‘I just sense at this moment in time that there’s a bit of jealousy towards what Tottenham are doing.
‘I don’t like it. Why can’t we just be happy for Tottenham that they’re playing [well], the rest of the country. I think they’re a bit worried by Postecoglou and his Tottenham team. In my mind, they want him to lose a game or two and fail.’
Sutton’s co-host Ian Ladyman added that most fans and pundits with a ’rounded view of English football would want to see Tottenham do well’, adding: ‘It would be a breath of fresh air for English football. It would be magnificent. It wouldn’t happen, but it would be great.’
Sutton then said there was a risk of a ‘pile-on’ of people wanting to see Spurs lose their first game of the season and slammed the reaction as ‘childish’ – but reiterated he does not believe the team will win the league.
‘There’s people on the brink of wanting this Tottenham pile on. When they lose the first game or whatever, people are going to pile on. Come on, it’s childish,’ he said.
‘It’s been a great start, I think they will continue but I will maintain they will not win the league – they will have bumps in the road.’
