Bale: Tottenham's home form crucial to success

Gareth Bale believes Tottenham's form at White Hart Lane will be key to their success this season, after just six defeats in 56 Premier League games since October 2008. "I think the main thing for any team is home form," Bale told Tottenham's official website. "You look at Manchester United and they haven't lost (at home) in who knows how many games.

"We want to make White Hart Lane a place that when teams come here, they fear us.

"We're looking to do that and I think as long as our home form's good then we'll be right up there."

Bale says recent victories over high-profile opponents, particularly fierce local rivals Arsenal, have provided a huge boost to the club.

"It's massive for us to beat the bigger teams, especially our local rivals, which is important, not just for us but for the fans," he added.

"We look to win every game and hopefully we can keep doing that."
