Redknapp “very confident” Spurs will secure top-four finish
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp cursed his side’s luck after the defeat at QPR but said he was “very confident” they would finish in the top four.
Spurs are under pressure from Chelsea and Newcastle and dropped more points against relegation-threatened Rangers, who won 1-0 after Adel Taarabt’s goal against his former club.
But Redknapp insisted he was happy with their performance at Loftus Road.
“We had enough of the ball and enough chances. It was one-way traffic,” he said.
“We just couldn’t get the break. We needed a bit of luck. Their keeper was parrying shots and we couldn’t get on the end of them.
“We didn’t play badly. We just couldn’t get a goal. I’m not worried about the way we’re playing.”

Shut up Redknap we’ve had enough of your excuses. You dont have the brains or the talent to learn from last seasons identicle collapse. You bought crap in the Jan window and your tactical nouse is non existent. You have fooled us all Harry..including the FA.
Im ashamed to call you my teams manager….you ave reduced an incredible squad to a bunch of zero’s and you and your back room burks are to blame. If Levy keeps you at Spurs next season thats my support finshed with.

Can you believe the comments of our manager? We lose AGAIN and drop to 5th spot and he is still deluded enough to:
a) think we played welltoday and were unlucky
b) think we will still make 4th spot
I’ve got news for you Arry, you’ve blown it. If we can’t even beat QPR, what makes you possibly think that we will beat Bolton, Villa etc?
Arry never takes the blame for any defeat but he’s always there to remind us all of the 2points for 8 games. That’s in the past Arry. Does Fergie constantly remind everyone about his past glories? No, he keeps looking for more trophies because the man is a winner – Arry is not. He has been found out as being a hopeless tactician, and the sooner he clears off to England (if they still want him), the better for Spurs. All those years as a manager and one FA cup to show for it. We need a manager who is bursting a gut (along with the players) to be successful.
Glad we had the good start to the season or we would be fighting (and losing) a relegation battle. We will be lucky to make the Europa Cup the way we are playing.
Please Mr Levy, find us a manager with tactical nous who is a winner. Us long suffering Spurs fans deserve nothing less.

Not worried the way we are playing..we have gone from best team in London to biggest Joke in London. If harry can`t see what is wrong god help Eng when he gets the job. Playing Bale and VDV in a free role means one thing..narrow and congested midfield, no outlet on the wings to get behind the full back..Spurs had all the possession but in the middle of the park. Wake up harry and take off your Eng goggles..you have a job to finish at the lane..show some damn respect man.

I think Mr Rednapp you are the only one who still thinks this. The players have clearly lost interest lots of lovely passing in front of the QPR players going nowhere.
Admit it you have failed to deliver in 2012 and we want honest answers as to why the form is so bad…
