Zapsportz.com columnist Glenn Hoddle and his former Spurs team-mate Ossie Aridles believe their old club’s current form is putting them in with a chance of a Champions League slot.

Spurs performance in their 4-1 win over West Ham United had Hoddle and Ardiles, a World Cup winner, turning to Twitter to express their opinions.

Hoddle posted his social media observation at watching Spurs play with style, and he feels that the current squad have a lot of belief in their ability.

Ardiles was also impressed by what he saw from his old club, and he tweeted that Tottenham’s performance was one of the best they have put in under Mauricio Pochettino’s guidance.

Tottenham reinforced their Champions League credentials with a commanding 4-1 victory however, with some even daring to believe that the Premier League title is within reach.

That might be stretching it a bit, but Spurs are certainly on a roll under Pochettino and the players do seem to be growing in confidence and self-belief.

Defender Toby Alderweireld, one of the goalscorers in the impressive 4-1 win against West Ham, was non-committal when asked where Spurs could finish this season, but said that teams now fear visiting White Hart Lane.

“We don’t think too much about the league table, we think about our own form,” said the Belgian defender, as quoted on teamtalk.com. “At home we have to be strong. Teams don’t want to come here anymore so that’s nice and we have to keep it that way.

“Next Sunday’s Chelsea, it’s a massive game, but we want to win every game and then we’ll see where it gets us.

“In the back we’re very solid, we have a good base, and up front we’re very strong. That gives a good feeling, that we can beat every team.”
