Ninety per cent of Spurs fans believe head coach Andre Villas-Boas was right to publicly hit back at journalists over recent criticism of his management style, according to an Enfield Independent poll.

Villas-Boas took journalists from the Daily Mail to task over articles written last week which, in his opinion, questioned his "integrity" and "human values".

When asked on Monday whether Villas-Boas had been right to stand up to the reporters in his press conference, 90% voted yes and 10% voted no.
