It has been a dismal few days for Tottenham Hotspur after they lost 2-0 at home to local rivals Arsenal in Sunday's North London Derby.
The fact that the Lillywhites now flounder in fifth place in the current Premier League standings is bad enough but when you also consider that the Gunners have a real chance of winning the title this term, now eight points clear at the top, it could go from bad to worse for Spurs fans come May.
To add insult to injury, the futures of head coach Antonio Conte and star striker Harry Kane continue to dominate headlines, with the pair now into the final six months and 18 months of their respective contracts in N17.
