Robertson Tells Spurs to 'Forget' Past Woes
Robertson said Spurs must move on from two poor seasons as they try to recover after taking just 2 points from their first 5 league matches.
- Spurs sit bottom of the Premier League with just two points from opening matches, despite head coach Roberto De Zerbi overseeing an estimated £380 million summer recruitment drive for 10 new players.

- The 32-year-old remains confident Tottenham will improve as the season progresses, provided players consistently demonstrate the determination required to build what he calls a new journey for the club.
