Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has rubbished claims they're destined to fade in the second-half of the season.

Redknapp rejects the suggestion that his team are following in the line of previous Spurs sides who have failed to deliver when it really matters.

Redknapp said: "It's a new team. I don't go with all that rubbish. How can that have any bearing with what's happened in the past?

"These players don't know what happened four years ago; they probably don't even know they won the double in 1961! They wouldn't have heard of Dave Mackay. They wouldn't have a clue where Tottenham finished five years ago."
