Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Darren Anderton has told Sol Campbell to look at the table, in reply to his recent comments about Spurs’ lack of title credentials.
Campbell, who recently said that Spurs do not have enough leaders to win the title, has been heavily criticised from fans.
But former Spurs star Anderton believes Spurs are within a chance of picking up the trophy.
“Where they are now (he said about Campbell’s comments), they have a chance,” Anderton remarked.
He continued: “Are they favourites? No, probably not. I would say City are the best team, and should go on and win it.”
Anderton, who enjoyed 12 years at White Hart Lane, continued to say that Spurs are within their rights to be linked with the title.
“But the way this season has been, the way they can be very in and out and be inconsistent, who knows?” he said.
Anderton said: “Arsenal, of course, are on a bad run at the moment but they’ll be in or around it.
“And Leicester. Everyone keeps disregarding them but the next two weeks will be interesting for Man City and Arsenal.”
I guess Sol was referring to Crunch time, when nerves of steel and title winning Nous will be required. Of course, that weakness would apply to Arsenal too, only to a smaller extent than Spurs. Arsenal does have players who have won things for previous clubs and at Arsenal; Ozil, Alexis and Mertesacker have won at national team levels too. That makes Leicester city outsiders; but with the way the season is going, you never know…
