Jordan looks for winning run by Spurs

SPURS first team coach Joe Jordan believes that the Londoners can resurrect their title bid in the next few weeks, but admits his players must show more consistency and ruthlessness if they are to put themselves back in contention – starting tonight against Wigan.

Spurs are 25-1 with some bookmakers to lift their first championship since 1961 and Jordan admits not having the experience of reigning champions Manchester United, who are three points off the top of the table, counts against the White Hart Lane outfit.

Jordan, a former United player, said: “Tottenham and City won their last championship in the 1960s so it goes without saying it’s harder (for either of those sides) to win it.

“United, who have come in for a bit of criticism, are where they are not just because they have quality players, they have the knowledge of how to maintain the consistency.

“They can look back many times and know they have done it. That comes by having success in winning a championship.”
