eSPORTY pundit Abbi Summers has spoken of her anger at Tottenham after their demoralising defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Spurs currently sit one point above the relegation zone and their London rivals, West Ham United, are breathing down their necks.

The 3-0 drubbing by Forest was Igor Tudor’s fourth league defeat since taking charge from Thomas Frank, who was sacked in February.
Their future in the top flight is in the balance with seven fixtures still to play in the Premier League.
Spurs were hoping for a new manager bounce when they first employed the Croatian, but things have only got worse.
eSPORTY understands the club are still deliberating whether to change manager over the international break, with Austrian Adi Hutter among those being considered.
It has been a difficult time for Spurs fans in recent games. At the beginning of March, the north London club suffered a demoralising 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
The match saw the Lilywhites lose a 1-0 lead and also have Micky van de Ven sent off in the space of 20 minutes after Dominic Solanke had scored.
Summers broke down in tears on eSPORTY’s Inside Spurs show as the continual demise of the club took its toll.
Tottenham sensed hope after they beat Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, despite losing on aggregate and getting knocked out.
However, fans were soon brought back to reality as they lost 3-0 to relegation rivals Forest in their next game.
On the latest episode of Inside Spurs, Abbi Summers revealed her true feelings on the club she supports.

She said: “You don’t even want to know how frustrated I am at Spurs, it comes out as rage but really I just want to cry.
“They don’t deserve my tears.
“Firstly, if Romero wants to be club captain he needs to stop turning up late, it’s constant, set the standard.”

Renowned DJ and music producer, and Spurs fan, Majestic added: “When you allow things like that to happen at any football club, at any level, even if it’s grass roots level – you set a precedent.
Abbi responded: “If you want better for this football club and you want to be able to compete and challenge at the top and you now have the captains armband, which is a huge privilege, why don’t you start and set the tone, start the change.

“If he wanted to go in the summer, he could have pushed for a move.
“We said you could have the armband, you could have a better wage and we said ‘no problem’ so he’s not being held to ransom here.
“I feel like our fan base make so many excuses for Romero, I don’t get why.
“Because he likes to fly in for a tackle and he’s got a bit of passion but then he gets himself sent off.”
What’s next for Romero?
The defender was handed the captaincy by Thomas Frank last summer.
It came after Romero signed a new four-year contract with Spurs through to the summer of 2029.
However, his season has been hindered by discipline issues and has missed out on six games due to suspensions.
He then did not start the game directly after his four consecutive game ban in a massive match against Liverpool, which actually provided Tudor with his first and only (so far) Premier League point.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed some transparency over the defender’s deal he signed in the summer, he said: “There are no written release clauses in Romero’s contract.
“There was a gentleman’s pact with Spurs to let him go to Spanish clubs in case of good proposals, but never fixed at €60million (£50million) and not in paper.
“…and it was with Daniel Levy, who’s no longer at the club.
“Romero remains likely to leave Spurs in summer, as reported in February.”
It is being reported that Atletico Madrid are trying to engineer a move for the Argentinian.
