Harry not getting carried away
Harry Redknapp is remaining grounded despite Tottenham Hotspur's 100 per cent start to the new Premier League season.
Spurs made it three straight victories with a 2-1 triumph at London rivals West Ham United on Sunday, as goals from Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon cancelled out Carlton Cole's opener.
It is Tottenham's best start to a season since winning the double in 1961, but Redknapp is reluctant to compare his current charges with the celebrated team from nearly half a century ago.
"Nine points is a great start for us," Redknapp said. "But I wouldn't even compare ourselves to the '61 or '62 team. That was an amazing football team.
"They had Bill Nicholson as manager, Dave Mackay and Danny Blanchflower playing for them. Dave Mackay was like three men, not one.
"We've got some good players, but they had a great team and were fantastic. That was a special time in the club's history, a long time ago. If we are anywhere as good as them, we'll be OK."
He continued: "Who knows what we can achieve? I'm not saying we'll finish in the top four, but we have good quality and we'll give it a go.
"It could be open this year. Manchester City will certainly be pushing to be a top-four team, and there's no reason we can't push.
"We've won two away games already this year. If our home form stands up, we'll be right up there."
