Walker: We're in the title race

Harry Redknapp's men have enjoyed a scorching run of results to leave them third in the table, prompting suggestions they could end their 50-year wait for a league trophy this term. While England international Walker insists Spurs are not getting carried away and are focused on their trip to Stoke on Sunday, he refuses to rule them out of the title race. Speaking at the Sportingbet Fans Forum, 21-year-old Walker said: "It's not impossible. It's not a fact that we can't, so why not? "If we keep playing the football we do, who knows where we can finish up? "But we are not getting big-headed. We are looking forward to the game against Stoke." He added of Sunday's clash at the Britannia: "These are the sort of games you need to pick up three points from if you are going to be contenders. "You know what you are going to get from Stoke - the long throw-ins and the knockdowns, while Peter Crouch poses a threat as we well know. "Anything they throw at us we are more than capable of dealing with." Spurs, who travel to Stoke on the back of six consecutive league wins, have earned plaudits this season for their free-flowing, attacking football. And ex-Sheffield United man Walker admits their style of play even stops him in his tracks on occasion, adding: "Sometimes at the back I just stand there and watch. I feel like clapping myself. "Some of the football Luka Modric, Rafa van der Vaart, Manny Adebayor, Jermain Defoe and the two wingers - Azza Lennon and Gareth - play is a joy to watch and it's a joy to play with them. An honour really. "They've got a number of Premier League games under their belts and are very experienced. We have that all the way around the park. "I played with (goalkeeper) Brad Friedel at Villa and it's good to have him behind you talking to you and guiding you through the game. "I'm up for learning. What's happened to me in the last two years, coming from Sheffield to where I am now, is crazy."
