Tottenham Hotspur finds itself on the verge of crisis, having gone 14 Premier League matches without a win, with their last victory coming at the beginning of 2026.
Currently positioned 18th in the league, Spurs are two points adrift of 17th-placed West Ham United. Following a 1-0 defeat to Sunderland AFC this past weekend, they now occupy the relegation play-off spot.

The situation has sparked heated discussions, both locally and worldwide. This was vividly illustrated during a conversation between Samir Nasri and Eden Hazard on the Canal Football Club program on Sunday evening.
“Despite my Arsenal background, I wouldn’t wish relegation on Tottenham; they’re too significant a club… We’d miss the derby matches,” remarked Nasri, a former Arsenal player now working as a pundit for French television. In a tongue-in-cheek response, Hazard, a former Chelsea player, countered: “Don’t call Tottenham a big club; they’re just a mid-table team.”
Supporters of both Arsenal and Spurs will find this exchange relatable, as it resonates more with their experiences than one might expect.
