Jamie O'Hara storms off talkSPORT live on air after Tottenham rant and wants Igor Tudor replaced

Newspoint

Jamie O'Hara stormed out of the talkSPORT studio after Jason Cundy repeatedly mocked Tottenham following their drab and damaging 3-1 home defeatto Crystal Palace.

Spurs were beaten on Thursday for the FIFTH successive game to deepen their relegation fears, as a brace from Ismaila Sarr and Jorgen Stand Larsen's strike earned the points for Palace.

It's a result that has left Tottenham in 16th, just ONE point above 18th-place West Ham and Nottingham Forest in 17th. There is real concern now that Spurs, who are still in the Champions League, could fall into the second tier for the first time since 1977/78 – their only season outside the top flight.

Igor Tudor has endured a nightmare start since replacing Thomas Frank as the club's interim manager until the end of the season, having lost each of his opening three matches against Arsenal, Fulham and Palace.

And ex-Spurs midfielder O'Hara is calling for the Croatian to be SACKED, less than a month since his appointment.

• Wretched Tottenham need to accept Igor Tudor must go if they want to stay up

• Mauricio Pochettino made ex-Chelsea star want to 'smash everything up'

Speaking to co-host Cundy, O'Hara said: "The manager's got to go. He's got to go. Get rid of him. He's lost three games on the bounce. We are the only team in the Premier League ever to bring in a new manager to get a new manager bounce and we get a worse bounce.

"Honestly, he's a joke, this club is a joke, the owners are a joke, the players are a joke, the recruitment's a joke, the staff are a joke, the manager's a joke. Everything about the football club is an absolute disgrace. Honestly, I'm hurting, I'm actually hurting. It hurts.

"I didn't think it would hurt, because I was like, we've had some good moments, won the Europa League last season. This is just awful. This is so bad. This is the worst I've ever felt as a Spurs fan, ever."

Former Chelsea defender Cundy, who was wearing an Ange Postecoglou mask with a clown bow tie and hat, argued back at O'Hara and said that Tudor should be given more time on the training ground.

"He's had three games, give him time on the training ground," Cundy said.

O'Hara then quipped: "Jase come on mate, what are you on about seriously? Do you think he is good enough?"

Cundy replied: "Yes," before O'Hara fired back: "You're just talking rubbish because I know that is not true."

But Cundy continued to be defiant with his opinion, adding: "I've seen signs. Encouraging signs."

That, however, prompted O'Hara to get up and storm out of the studio. As he was walking to the exit, he said: "It's pointless doing a show with you mate. You're not being serious, you're just an idiot."

Cundy then confirmed to the talkSPORT listeners that O'Hara had indeed left the studio, finishing: "Jamie has walked out, we're going to hear from the interim manager of Spurs, Igor Tudor."

O'Hara came back to complete the show but remained downbeat about his former club. Indeed, the 39-year-old admitted he is confident Spurs are going to get relegated this season.

When asked if Spurs are going down, O'Hara reluctantly replied: "Yes."

He continued: "This team is terrible. The players are terrible. They're Championship players. They're Championship players. Pape Sarr is a Championship player. Conor Gallagher. How he played for Atletico Madrid, I'll never know. He's been awful. He's been absolutely awful.

"Souza, who's this kid. He looks like he's got two left feet. Honestly, it's embarrassing. Seriously, the team is absolutely awful.

"Mathys Tel. I could have told you. A donkey could have told you last season that he was garbage, a donkey could have told you last season that Tel was not good enough.

"He ain't good enough. And we signed him on a permanent. It's unbelievable. The football club. It's unbelievable. The people in charge of this football club. One of the biggest clubs in the world. And an absolute mockery. We're a mockery of a football club that we've allowed this to happen and the fans have had to accept it."

Up next for Spurs in the Premier League is a daunting visit to Anfield next Sunday when they take on champions Liverpool without the suspended Micky van de Ven following his red card last night.

But before then, Tottenham head out to Spain to take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 first leg on Tuesday.
