This far from the truth: Berbatov denies rumours he's going to leave Spurs

"It doesn't matter if we are winning of losing, the fans are still behind us and that is what I really appreciate.

"When we go on to the pitch and we hear them applauding and cheering the team, it gives us a lift and makes us determined to do well.

"We are not in a good position in the table. We know we should not be there and it is frustrating because I know we have a brilliant squad, with so much ability and class throughtout.

"We are finding it hard to get going even though we have virtually the same players as last season, when we did so well.

"But we are working hard to put things right and with the new boss I'm confident we are on the right track again."
