Jamie O’Hara stormed out of the talkSPORT studio after Jason Cundy repeatedly mocked Tottenham after their 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.
Ismaila Sarr’s brace and Jorgen Stand Larsen’s goal helped Palace earn a point on Thursday, but a five-game losing streak deepened Spurs’ fears of relegation.
With this result, Tottenham are now in 16th place, one point behind West Ham in 18th place and Nottingham Forest in 17th place. There is now a major concern that Spurs, who are currently in the Champions League, could fall to the second tier for the first time since the 1977-78 season, their only season out of the top flight.
Igor Tudor has had a nightmare start to the season since taking over as interim manager at the club, replacing Thomas Frank, losing his opening three games against Arsenal, Fulham and Palace.
And former Spurs midfielder O’Hara has called for the Croatian’s sacking less than a month after taking over.

O’Hara told co-host Kandi: “The manager has to go. He has to go. Get him out. He’s lost three games on the bounce. We’re the only team in the Premier League to bring in a new manager because of the bounce of a new manager, but our bounce is going to get worse.”
“Honestly, he is a joke, this club is a joke, the owners are a joke, the players are a joke, recruitment is a joke, the staff are a joke, the manager is a joke. Everything about the football club is an absolute disgrace. To be honest, I am hurt and I am hurt. It hurts.”
“I didn’t think it would hurt because I thought we won the Europa League last season and had some good moments. This is really bad. It’s really bad. This is the worst I’ve ever felt as a Spurs fan.”

Former Chelsea defender Cundy, who wore an Ange Postecoglou mask, clown bow tie and hat, hit back at O’Hara and said Tudor should be given more time on the training ground.
“He’s got three games under his belt, so give him time on the practice field,” Cundy said.
O’Hara then quipped, “Jace, come on, what are you seriously saying? Do you think he’s good enough?”
Kandi replied, “Yeah,” to which O’Hara shot back, “You’re just talking shit. I know it’s not true.”
But Kandi remained defiant in her opinion, adding: “I’ve seen the signs. They’re encouraging signs.”
However, O’Hara got up and stormed out of the studio. He said as he walked towards the exit. “There’s no point in doing a show with you. You’re not serious, you’re just an idiot.”
Cundy then confirmed to talkSPORT listeners that O’Hara had indeed left the studio, concluding: “Jamie has been sent off. We will hear from Igor Tudor, the interim manager at Spurs.”
O’Hara returned to finish the show, but remained pessimistic about his former club. In fact, the 39-year-old admitted he is convinced Spurs will be relegated this season.
When asked if the Spurs would lose, O’Hara reluctantly replied, “Yes.”
He continued: “This team is terrible. The players are terrible. They are Championship players. They are Championship players. Pape Sarr is a Championship player. Conor Gallagher. I will never know how he played at Atletico Madrid. He was terrible. He was absolutely terrible.”
“Souza, who is this kid? He looks like he has two left feet. It’s embarrassing to be honest. Seriously, the team is really bad.
“Matisse Tell. I could have told you. Donkey could have told you last season that he was trash. Donkey could have told you last season that Tell is not good enough.
“He’s not good enough and we signed him on a permanent basis. It’s unbelievable, a football club. It’s unbelievable, the people in charge of this football club, one of the biggest clubs in the world. And it’s an absolute mockery. We are a mockery of the football club that we allowed this to happen and the fans had to accept it.”
Spurs’ next game in the Premier League will be a daunting one as they face champions Liverpool next Sunday at Anfield without Micky van de Ven, who is suspended following his red card last night.
But first, Tottenham head to Spain to face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 first leg on Tuesday.
