‘Stupid comment’: Jamie O’Hara gets angry after hearing what Jason Cundy just said about Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur’s 2024/25 Premier League campaign ended in disaster, with the North London club finishing a dismal 17th in the table — their lowest league position in nearly half a century. It was a season that left fans frustrated, pundits baffled, and the club’s hierarchy with no choice but to make big changes.

 

Now, all eyes are on new manager Thomas Frank, who has been handed the task of steering Spurs to much greater heights. The expectation is crystal clear — this squad needs to climb the table and restore pride to the club. After all, as many have pointed out, surely it can’t get any worse than last season… right?

 

O’Hara vs. Cundy: The talkSPORT clash

 

One man certainly hoping for a turnaround is Jamie O’Hara. The former Spurs midfielder and outspoken pundit endured a season of torment last year, constantly on the receiving end of banter from his talkSPORT co-host Jason Cundy.

 

But on Thursday night, during a segment on bold predictions for the upcoming campaign, Cundy managed to light the fuse once again. In typical mischief-making fashion, he suggested something that made O’Hara’s jaw drop — the idea that Tottenham could get relegated this season.

 

O’Hara’s reaction was immediate and theatrical. Looking up to the heavens in disbelief, he branded Cundy a “garbage talker” live on air and dismissed the claim as “stupid.”

 

> “I’m not having you come on here and be an absolute garbage talker,” O’Hara snapped, visibly irritated.

 

 

 

When Cundy tried to defend his comment, O’Hara doubled down:

 

> “I’m asking you for a story which is not unrealistic that you think might happen this season. You can’t say Spurs are going to get relegated because it’s just not going to happen. It’s a stupid comment. You’re sitting there, sniggering at me — you think you’re funny, but you’re boring me!”

 

 

 

Could Spurs actually go down in 2025/26?

 

Let’s be honest — football can be unpredictable, and the Premier League has thrown up more than its fair share of shocks over the years. But even with last season’s woes, the idea of Tottenham being dragged into a relegation battle feels far-fetched.

 

Under Thomas Frank, Spurs look far more organised and resilient. His tactical approach is less physically demanding than Ange Postecoglou’s, which should reduce the risk of injury crises derailing their campaign. In pre-season, they went toe-to-toe with Arsenal and arguably outplayed Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup, despite eventually losing.

 

Those performances suggest Spurs have rediscovered their bite and discipline — qualities that should see them finish comfortably in mid-table or better.

 

So while Jason Cundy may enjoy winding up his co-host, Tottenham fans can probably relax. A relegation scrap in 2025/26? Highly unlikely. If anything, this might just be the season where Spurs remind everyone that they belong far away from the bottom three.
