Tottenham winger Andros Townsend joined the boys on Drive Time to discuss a variety of topics, including his thoughts on Andre Villas-Boas’ recent criticism of the fans at White Hart Lane.

Townsend on Tottenham’s home support

“I’m not going to sit here and criticise the Spurs fans, especially because they’ve been great with me. But understand it is hard for us, we try and play good football and I think Hull set out in a 4-5-1 formation and came to defend.

“It took 80-odd minutes for us to break them down and in the end we got the three points we deserved, that’s all that matters.

“West Ham did that and ended up beating us 3-0. The main thing was not to get too frustrated, not to go too gung-ho too early, keep playing our normal football and just hope we can break them down before the 90 minutes.

“I think we learned our lessons and we got the three points against Hull.”

Townsend on title and Champions League hopes

“The sky’s the limit for us if we can gel quickly and start winning games. You can’t really nail down a position, other teams around us are dropping points so it’s going to be tight. Who says we can’t be up there in the top three?”

“I’ve got a few broken bones in my hand but it’s nothing too serious. I didn’t want to let the team go down to ten men so I had to run back on wounded and the crowd were behind me. The manager was screaming at me to go on too, so I didn’t have a choice really.”

“Hopefully I’ll be back in time for the weekend [against Everton at Goodison Park].”
