Jamie O’Hara storms out of radio show after Tottenham hit new low in Crystal Palace defeat
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara stormed out of his radio programme on Thursday evening after relentless mockery from his co-presenter following Spurs’ humiliating home loss to Crystal Palace.
The 3-1 defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium pushed the north London side further into a desperate battle against the drop, leaving them hovering just a single point above the relegation places with nine matches left to play.
While most devastated supporters could simply switch off their televisions and process the misery in private, O’Hara was forced to face the cameras and discuss the catastrophic result live on air.
Chelsea supporter Jason Cundy wasted no opportunity to wind up his colleague and friend throughout the broadcast on talkSPORT.
Cundy appeared on set sporting a mask of former Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou, clearly intent on provoking a reaction from his embattled colleague.
The Chelsea fan then began defending new manager Tudor, suggesting he deserved more time on the training ground after just three matches in charge.
“I know you’re laughing and joking mate but seriously…” O’Hara said, before asking Cundy directly whether he believed Tudor was capable of saving the club.

When Cundy responded positively and claimed he had “seen signs” of improvement, O’Hara reached breaking point.
The former midfielder declared it was “pointless” continuing the show, branded his co-host an “idiot” and promptly walked off set.
Fellow talkSPORT pundit Gabby Agbonlahor was quick to pile on the misery for O’Hara via social media.

The former Aston Villa striker dug up a viral clip from O’Hara’s appearance on an American dating programme, where his career as a professional footballer had been kept secret from his potential match until a dramatic reveal.
In the footage, O’Hara can be heard telling the woman: “Actually, I’m a really famous soccer player from England.”
Agbonlahor shared the clip with a pointed caption suggesting it showed how Spurs players would spend their summer holidays attempting to explain their impending
Championship campaign to potential love interests, adding “LOL!!!!” for good measure.
The ridicule extended far beyond O’Hara, with rival supporters and bookmakers gleefully joining the pile-on across social media platforms.
Paddy Power responded to a 2023 post from a Spurs account that had championed signing Guglielmo Vicario over David Raya, commenting that it had “aged like milk in a sauna.”

GETTYChampionship-themed banter dominated the online discourse, with one user sharing footage of Keir Starmer’s election night speech referencing Plymouth and Stoke as a nod to the unglamorous away fixtures potentially awaiting Tottenham next season.
TNT Sports cameras repeatedly captured despondent supporters in the stands, with one isolated fan responding to his on-screen appearance by raising his middle finger after most had already fled the stadium.
Tottenham are now just one point above the drop zone.
Relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and West Ham both picked up points this week, with Spurs boss Igor Tudor fighting for his job after just three matches at the helm.
