This is how the relegation battle looks after the recent results in the PL!

Tottenham should be grateful for Aston Villa to have beaten West Ham... Otherwise maybe they could have been in relegation zone now. They aren't in a safe place anyway though.  

I just don't have any words to explain their loss against Forest like that. I can only say that the players have completely lost their respect for Igor Tudor and they are doing their best to send him away. Probably it will happen at any time.

It was a surprising but not so surprising result considering that Tottenham have not been in a good form whereas Nottingham Forest is on the rise…. Fighting to get away from the relegation zone. Tottenham are back where they ended last season, I am still blaming the management for how they hire and fire coaches.
Nottingham Forest has really improved their game if they continue like this, they most likely will be safe at the end and they also have a chance at the Europa trophy.

Toteham really got lucky by Aston villa winning against West Ham, that was there fastest way going out from the league but somehow they were sustained by that loss against West ham. although toteham have shaken lately before that match because they haven't really been in a very good sharp before that game so it some reduced the expectations from that particular game but however they gotten all the way to have made through with west ham

I will be very happy if Tottenham gets relegated, because I think that is what is good for Tottenham, so they can start rebuilding from the Championship, because I really don’t understand why a big club like Tottenham would be in the position they find themselves right now, because that is a very bad and dangerous position that they find themselves, right from the management of Tottenham and the board it’s been a terrible experience even when Daniel Levy was serving as the Chairman of the club, it was also a bad leadership until he left, and there bad management have continued from there and it’s absolutely a bad and horrible situation experience, and I have never seen a set of players that is as terrible as this Tottenham Team right now, it’s  disgusting.

[HajiBagi]

Tottenham should brace up and get ready to be playing 42+ matches in the league alone, what they escaped last season, I hope they wouldn't escape it this season again, so I hope for them. I have not seen such a team, I still wonder why some EPL fans consider Tottenham as a big team or probably they don't know what it takes to be a big team as it stands. Just look at how a fellow weak team thrashed you at home 3 goals to nothing, you couldn't even score one goal to at least cheer your fans up a bit. Tottenham should go to the championship and reassemble themselves for life in the EPL next 2 season more. I just hope they make it to the championship since it's what they have been craving for since last season.

It will be a disgrace to see a team like Tottenham playing in the Championship, Tottenham is one of the biggest teams in the premier league, playing against Tottenham before is like playing against a big team and some top teams are very scared to play against them when Tottenham has players who are ready to play for the team, I don’t even know the kind of players the team has currently because those players are not serious, they can not score and defend, they can not play as a team.

Going to relegation is going to affect the team because there are some players that will decide to leave the team, Tottenham is going to lose some important players because some players will not want to play in Championship, Tottenham did not have good management, the team board are not ready to build a good team, sacking many coaches including the one that won a trophy for them is another reason why they are still suffering to have a good team.

It’s really going to be embarrassing if Tottenham gets relegated this season, just imagine that a team like Tottenham will be send back to the championship, that’s really going to be embarrassing for them, and am sure Tottenham will do everything possible to avoid relegation this season, they won’t want to play in the championship. Tottenham performance was good last season, but it’s surprising that their performance dropped so low this season. Tottenham can build their team in the premier league, they don’t have to be relegated before they will be able to build their team, I will just advise them they avoid relegation this season.

I keep wondering if Tottenham hotspur can really escape relegation this season because with the look of things Westham is just the one holding them from that position and we all knew how Westham has increase in performance despite the lost to Aston villa, the fact is Aston villa has lost some few games and winning against Westham was very necessary that was just the reason for that lost else Westham could have hold their ground, so in a nut shell Westham seem to be more formidable than Tottenham hotspur so if care is not taken they are definitely gonna get relegated.

It will even sound more embarrassing when it is been written in history that the same season that Tottenham played in the Champions League was the same season they got relegated, that means a season prior tin that, they finished in a very good position to have secured a qualification to the champions league. Tottenham has one of the best squad in the premier league and it still baffles a lot of us why they’ve not been able to use these players to the best of their advantage to maintain a very good position on the standings. The game of this premier league is very intriguing and the unexpected that you’ll least think of it happening happens to be what we see these days. Tottenham needs to fight not to be relegated before it gets too late for them.

[Callido]

I think Tottenham are unlikely to avoid relegation, as they are only one point behind West Ham, and with seven games remaining and their current form, they are highly likely to be relegated. Igor Tudor will certainly be sacked even if Tottenham manage to avoid relegation, as the players have lost respect for him, and the management is extremely disappointed with his performance.

For now they are still ahead of West Ham, both in close competition who will win more points to escape relegation. Include Leeds, Nottingham Forest inside the competition between Tottenham and West Ham because the gap there is only as short as 3 points which is a one match loss, they are also in the danger zone to fall into the relegation zone.

About 7 matches remaining for the season to end, each of the teams will lose some games and win some, there is still an opportunity for the positions to shuffle differently than we are currently seeing from the table.

At least for this week their position remains safe at the relegation zone line but on the one hand they should not stand by other clubs because now they have to rise to get out of a zone that is less comfortable for them.

Currently Tottenham's focus is only the EPL because their Champions League has been eliminated even with a large enough aggregate so for now they should be more able to get maximum results in the EPL.  Their last 10 matches in the EPL ended with no single victory for Tottenham because they lost 8 times and drew 2 times so it must be fixed now, this is indeed very difficult because their mentality seems to be stalled and too down but if it continues like this then the possibility of them being in the Championship division for next season could happen.

And very embarrassing because the Tottenham are always preparing before the season starts and they are always ending with a very bad result,  so even if they are religated I don't think it affects them, and next season they will do the same thing to see if they will be able to escape religation and they might actually will so there,  actually they performed better last season than this season at least they gave a lot of clubs tough time in fact when you are playing against Tottenham you have to be extremely ready and things like this happens in football because there are times that club will perform well and there times that there performance will be poor so it is normal but we hope they do better.

At thus point I am really scared for Tottenham, there form this season has been really poor and they are just one point from the relegation zone after they lost to Nottingham Forest yesterday. At a point I was saying they are not going to be relegated, but right now I am not sure anymore, because of their poor performance. I hope they can find a way back, so they don't get relegated,  but if they continue with this form, they should start preparing ro play in the championship next season, but it's going to be a big blow for them and also a big miss for the premier league.

I never envisaged Tottenham would play this bad and the genuine threat of being relgated is looming sround them. It's quite sad to see a club like Tottenham, despite having some amazing players in their squad went on to have a extremely bad run this season. If they don't want to be relegated, then they should remain focused and try to win all their remaining games which is unlikely. Knowing ⁴⁴tthey're a point away from Tottenham would be lucky if they manage to remain in the premier league at the end of the season.
They should start getting ready for the next season and make plans for a better club and life. .. Hopefully , they manage to escape being relegated.

You're right it will be embarrassing to see them get relegated to play in the championship next season but even if they do I believe they will get promoted back instantly again except if they sell some of their players because most of them would not want to play in the championship division. The league is almost at the end, West Ham and Nottingham forest are doing everything possible to not get relegated and Tottenham on the other hand are not doing much so if they don't improve their game they will get relegated because only hard workers are rewarded for their efforts. They want to avoid relegation but it's just not good well for them right now. Let's see how it will go, if they don't win their next game then I give up on them.

[uchegod-21]

I know that Tottenham is so bad this season, but I never knew that they are so close to the relegation zone.
This is very shameful and they have not escaped it. This will be a terrible experience to see Tottenham being relegated.
From the champions of the Europa league to relegation.
What a fast transition. It will be shameful to lose a big six to the championship zone just because Kane and Son left. This is so bad of Tottenham.

[Adbitco]

Coming to the realisation that Nottingham Forest who was sitting in the relegation zone just before the match at Tottenham, used Tottenham to get out of relegation and is now sitting above same Tottenham in the league. It's only West Ham that's separating Tottenham from relegation and if eventually West Ham wins a match and Tottenham loses that simply means that Tottenham will replace West Ham and vice versa. I wonder if they are still going to sack the coach next week if he fails to win in 2 weeks time when they face Sunderland since they have changed coaches twice already this season alone.

[rezakurnia66]

I think Tottenham might stand a chance to be at better place before the end of the season. I mean the way the team turn out in the Champions League, they loss but they put up a good fight. There was no way they would have won against Atletico Madrid that is fire in the Laliga and despite the outcome, they didn't allow them to be use as cleansheat. Now that they are not divided in between leagues anymore, they can focus on the rest of the matches in Premier league.

Last winning match from Tottenham Hotspur against Crystal Palace at the end December last year and almost 13 matches in a row not winning one match yet, sadly for Spurs fans have to see their favorite club too close with relegation zone one point remaining only with West Ham. Every match, Tottenham Hotspur always conceded goals and now have been eliminated at Champion League will wake up for 7 matches left? Firstly after international break will face Sunderland has good performance and still has many top team to face from Chelsea, Aston Villa and Everton.
What your opinion with Spurs this season get safe from relegation zone or have to play at EFL Championship next season?

Well, according to Fabrizio, Roberto di zerbi is actually a possible replacement, so there is a chance that he might likely be the next manager, but the question now is... which of the division is he going work in his first season as Spurs manager?... The top side_(EPL), or the Championship side_(EFL). With the way things are looking, I just don't see west ham relegating. They're even playing better than Spurs even though things are currently not going their way in terms of points accumulation, but when we compare them to what Spurs has accumulated in the past 5 games, the difference is certainly clear. At this point, we're having tough battles in the premier league. Fight for survival, fight for the title, and fight to make it to the UCL for next season.

I thought I was the only one that have the such sentiment about Tottenham Hotspur because to me, if they did not get relegated this time around, they will not be serious, as they did last season.
Where I knew that Tottenham Hotspur wasn't serious as a club was when I realized that last season, they faced the same issue, and instead of them to rebuild the team and make sure that such things never repeat itself again, they feel reluctant and now, they are still in the same mess, fighting to avoid the drop, for a top team like this, what a shame.
So if they did not get relegated this time around, they wouldn't still realize how bad they are currently, so I want them to get relegated, so that's everyone at the club, even the cleaners will now that things are out of hand, and revolution is needed, for them to get back to their feet.

[jaberwock]

Tottenham looks to have best player quality but their declining form is very alarming and in this relegation fight, sometimes only one bad match in remaining 7 matches will decide which club will be relegated and which clubs will stay in Premier League next season. Only one ticket to Championship and three clubs are fighting against each other to avoid that unwanted ticket.

Tottenham actually put themselves into a harder situation by losing big and direct to Nottingham yesterday. They still stand above West Ham with 1 point more and better goal difference but these things are small advantages and Tottenham need to play very focused to aim at finishing this season with more points than West Ham rather than relying on goal difference.

This was the game they had a chance to win, so that they can get away from the relegation zone, and they failed here too. Nottingham Forrest was near the relegation zone too, not many other teams who are worse than Spurs, so they were facing one of the few teams they could beat and instead Spurs got dominated and humiliated once more.

This is why I do not think that it is going to be possible for Spurs to do fine, and they are VERY close to dropping now. If they keep playing this badly, next season they will be at championship.

The departure of Kane has shattered Tottenham because all these challenges started after Kane left the club. Kane made Tottenham to be stronger to the point that they're always in the European competitions but look at them now, struggling to escape relegation with just one point ahead from relegation zone.

Last season was similar but because they won Europa cup, they survived and find themselves in the Champions League. If they get relegated, it will be a shame on the club and a total disappointment.

Could it be that they start off loaded at the start of the season and then start losing pieces on the run, unable to keep up with the other teams, right?
They try and try, but they actually can't keep up with the pace of other teams (even those at the same performance level).
I don't think it's strategy, they have no way to grow like this, rightly the only thing they can do is fight to avoid relegation, or throw in the towel.

Tottenham Hotspur are going down in latest seasons with departures of their dual attacking players, Harry Kane and Son Heung Min. Kane left first and it affected Tottenham Hotspur but they covered bad and declining performances in Premier League but a surprising title in UEFA Europa League that is their biggest title after many decades. Then Son left the club too and Tottenham Hotspur became worse and worse, and this season might end like a nightmare for them if they won't wake up in remaining matches for finishing this season above the relegation zone.

With their declining form, they truly have very high risk of be relegated to Championship after this season but if they don't give up, can try their best, they can secure 1 point more than West Ham till the ending.
