Former Tottenham star Jamie O’Hara has hit back at Jason Cundy over his claims ‘everyone wants to be Chelsea’, telling talkSPORT the Blues ‘are just Spurs three years ago’.

After the Blues’ Champions League victory over Ajax on Wednesday night, Sports Bar host and ex-Blues defender Cundy boldly claimed ‘Chelsea are the club everyone else wants to be’.

He also said Spurs ‘would LOVE’ to be in Chelsea’s position right now which, as you can imagine, did not go down well with fans in north London.

It did not go down well with O’Hara, either, who said Cundy was talking rubbish.

But what he said next caused plenty of confusion on social media…

“Cundy’s up to it again, isn’t he? He loves it,” he said on Thursday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.

“He’s got a fair point, Chelsea are very good at the moment, they have got a direction and the players who have come in do look very special.

“But in terms of Tottenham wanting to be Chelsea, he’s talking nonsense!

“Chelsea really and truthfully are Spurs three years ago, that’s what it is!

“We had our own inflicted transfer ban, brought all these players through and got back in the top four, that’s pretty much what Chelsea are doing now.”

Chelsea in the same position Spurs were three years ago? It’s a thinker, sure, but we think we know what he’s trying to say.

Three years ago, Chelsea were Premier League champions.

Spurs, meanwhile, massively exceeded expectations by finishing second with a young team, featuring English starlets Harry Kane and Dele Alli, and a young manager emerging as a top coach with huge potential.

Tottenham were Premier League runners-up in the 2016/17 season, finishing seven points behind champions Chelsea

There are actually plenty of similarities between the 2016/17 Spurs side and Lampard’s Chelsea team, and – if you think about it – O’Hara is actually paying the Blues quite a big complement.

But he lost us with his next comment later on in the show…

“Listen, if Roman Abramovic had taken over Tottenham [as he was reportedly interested in doing in 2003], we’d still be dominating at the top of the table,” he said.

Dominating? Still? This is Spurs you’re talking about, right?
