Tottenham: John Wenham shares what 99% of Spurs fans now think about relegation
Tottenham Hotspur will stay in the Premier League after their recent results, John Wenham has said.
Igor Tudor’s side drew 1-1 with Liverpool at Anfield on 15 March before beating Atletico Madrid 3-2 on Wednesday, which has provided a confidence boost to everyone involved with the club.
The glum mood after Tudor won none of his first four in charge has been replaced with an optimism that the Croatian boss could be the right man for the interim role.
Tottenham’s focus is now fully on their Premier League status, and Wenham believes that it will stay intact after a shift that he has witnessed.

Why Tottenham can stay in the Premier League?
Wenham now believes that Spurs have the confidence required to stay in the division after the two positive results.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, the Spurs expert said: “It was about keeping momentum high ahead of the huge game against Nottingham Forest on the weekend.
“I think if you asked 99 per cent of Tottenham fans now, based on these last two games [Liverpool and Atletico], will Tottenham stay in the Premier League, I think the overriding answer would be yes.

“People have seen enough now that the upcoming games, Forest at home, Sunderland away, Brighton at home, suddenly don’t look as daunting as they did a couple of weeks ago
“There has been a definite shift in momentum.”
Who do Tottenham have left to play?
Tudor has his side playing with confidence, and he seems to have found the right formula for short-term success.
That will be a relief, as there were plenty of calls for him to be sacked in recent weeks after the dismal start to his interim spell in the dugout.
Now, as Wenham states, most supporters will feel that they can take enough points to survive, from the likes of Forest, Sunderland and Brighton in the next three matches.
Wolves and Aston Villa are after that, and they will not be easy matches, with the former trying to pull off a miracle escape and the latter trying for Champions League qualification.
Leeds United, Chelsea and Everton are the last three for Spurs, and hopefully they will be out of danger by the time those fixtures come around.
