Jamie O’Hara walks out of the talkSPORT studio again, wound up by co-host Jason Cundy and Tottenham’s 5-2 defeat against Atletico Madrid.
He’s done it again. Just days after doing so having argued with a Spurs fan and threatens to ‘have it out’ with Jason Cundy.
Last Thursday night, the ex-Tottenham footballer watched his boyhood club just one point above the drop zone following a 3-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace.
Chelsea fan Jason Cundy couldn’t help but wind up Jamie by wearing Ange Postecoglou mask and a clown outfit.
And after watching two errors inside 17 minutes from Antonin Kinsky in Spurs’ Champions League last-16 first-leg tie, which then played out to a 5-2 defeat, Jamie was once again left angry, and rattled by Jason’s cheeky antics.

Cundy said while on talkSPORT: “Hold on, so you change the manager and your fortunes are going to change?”
O’Hara: “I’m not saying they’re going to change but it can’t get any worse. It can’t get any worse.”
Cundy: “You drew the second half today.”
O’Hara snapped, shouting ‘shut up!’
Launching into a rant, he continued: “Stop going on about the second half. You can’t keep going on about it. Seriously mate, shut up.
“You can’t keep talking about the second half. ‘Oh, we drew the second half.’ Honestly, I’m trying not to swear.
“You can’t keep saying that, you can’t keep saying that. You’re a professional pundit. You can’t keep saying that.”
Cundy: “He did draw the second half,” which proved to be the breaking point for O’Hara.
O’Hara: “I’m trying to be professional here. I’m going to swear. Go to a break.”
Cundy: “You’ve done it again, haven’t you? You’ve done it again. You’ve walked.”
Jamie O’Hara said while on Sky Sports FC: “I can’t believe Tudor hasn’t gone. That’s the worrying thing for me, how is it not breaking news that he’s gone?
“9am, he should have been out the door. I can’t believe he is still there, I can’t believe Tottenham have not come out with a statement.
“He can’t be involved with this football club any more. He can’t be around these players, they’re absolutely gone. The way they played last night says that they’ve checked out.
“He can’t be going into the training ground today and taking another session. He’s been there three weeks, lost four games and conceded 14 goals.
“We’ve got worse in every department from Thomas Frank. The whole point in bringing in a new manager was to get a bounce.
“There’s so many things wrong – who brought him in? But you have to pull the trigger. He cannot be in charge against Liverpool. He cannot take any more training.
“I don’t think these players can stand him, I don’t think they want him around. He’s buried their confidence and belief, the way he’s hung them out to dry.
“He should walk, but he’s not going to because he’s going to believe in himself that you can get a result and turn it around.
“As a person, a character that he is, I don’t think he believes it’s his fault.
“I think he thinks the club’s in a mess and he’s taken over a mess. And the club is a mess, but he is not the answer.
“He’s come in and made it worse. If you’re going to make that call and sack Frank, who’s been in these dog fights and has Premier League experience, and then you bring in this guy and falls out with everyone he’s been in charge of…
“I’ve been a player, you can tell these players are not having this guy. They cannot stand him, they’re not fighting for him. Van de Ven tried to get sent off last night and VAR did him a favour.
“It’s the manner of the defeats. You can get beaten by Arsenal if you put in a good performance, but Fulham was shocking. Crystal Palace, embarrassing, no fight. And then that? Tactics all over the place. 3-4-3, playing Kinsky, players not fighting.
“The fight comes from the players but it also comes from the manager. When you set a team up like we did, I laughed. Kinsky in goal in a Champions League knock-out game.
“If you’re going to drop Vicario, he’s not playing well, Kinsky is not the answer. I’ve watched him play, he’s 22 years old for one, you don’t play him in a Champions League knock-out game at Atletico Madrid.
“You play him in a Carabao Cup fixture when you try to get him some development. You do not throw him under the bus in that game, you can’t.
“He’s had a stinker, but the tactics were unbelievable. Two in midfield against Atletico? You’re having a laugh. You’re playing against one of the best teams in LaLiga.
“He shouldn’t have picked him, he shouldn’t have started him. He’s made that decision, and obviously didn’t believe in it because he was prepared to take him off after 15 minutes.
“I don’t necessarily disagree with taking him off. He was gone. The first one, it can happen, sort your feet out – slipping like Bambi on ice.
“Then, Van de Ven slips, but the third goal? On a human level I get it. We’ve all had stinkers, but you’re the No 2 goalkeeper at Tottenham. This isn’t an U11 match.
“He’s a proper goalkeeper. You’re scuffing your lines. But the manager had to take him off, and after that to completely pie him… He’s had a nightmare, he needed a hug.
“Obviously the manager’s boiling inside, probably thinking he’s embarrassed him, but as a man manager he’s meant to be a top manager and in that moment, you’ve got to be a man manager.
“He’s a young lad, he’s going to take that and be in turmoil. The problem you’ve got is he’s not thinking about the future of that player, his mental state or confidence. Tudor’s not going to be there.
“He’s thinking about now, needing results now. He doesn’t care about his welfare, putting his arm around him, because he’s not going to be here.
“His man management skills there were absolutely terrible. What I did like, was when Kinsky went down the tunnel two players followed him and got their arms round him. That to me says there are players there who want to help each other out. The manager? No chance.
“There’s two options for the next manager. Someone who knows the club inside out, has been there when they’ve had success, has had a decent run with a squad of players.
“Or you get someone in who has been involved in the Premier League this season, is managing at the moment but might not be in a job right now and can get a tune out of these players.
“You do not need a tactician. You need a man to go in there and make these players feel like they’re the best in the world.
“They’re on the floor. Some of these players are not performing, they’re miles off it but they’re not this bad. I’ve seen Pape Matar Sarr play really well. I’ve seen Xavi Simons, Archie Gray play well. Djed Spence plays for England.
“Van de Ven. We talk about him being a top centre half. They’re not this bad. It’s because of this manager who’s come in all guns blazing, he’s dug them out in the press and he’s not brought any positivity to the club whatsoever.
“Two names for me – Harry Redknapp, he’s been out of the game but he knows the club, he knows what it is to win and he’s a great man manager who’ll give the boys confidence.
“Or, Sean Dyche.I thought he was doing alright at Forest, but they’ve sacked him. He’s been involved in the Premier League this season, he knows the tactics of every team, he’s a man manager, I think he’ll get a tune out of the lads and I think he’ll make them feel good.
“I don’t think we can sit here and suffer this any more. Something has got to give. The people making these decisions – it’s unbelievable.
“They bring in this guy, and he’s one of the worst managers I’ve ever seen at Tottenham.
“Who makes that decision? How can you get away from that? In any other job you’d get sacked for making a call like that.
“After four games, when the whole world is watching, he’s still not sacked. He should’ve been sacked last night.
“If you go down it costs you £250m. Who cares about money at the moment.”
