It all went wrong off the pitch for Spurs on Wednesday night but matters are not going particularly well on it either. Eric Dier's charge into the stands made the headlines, although the performance was not much to write home about.
They crashed out of the FA Cup at the hands of the Premier League's basement side, and it follows a period in which they've lost to Wolves and seen their hopes of Champions League qualification drop.
Add in the fact that they are a goal behind from the first-leg against RB Leipzig and Spurs are clearly in a bad period.
