Tottenham stars have complained that their poor start to the season is down to hunger, according to one report.
The Lilywhites are bottom of the league after their worst start to a season for almost a century.
And one player is believed to have told The Sun that it is boss Juande Ramos' strict diet regime - brought in when the Spaniard arrived at White Hart Lane a year ago - that has left them feeling lacklustre going into matches.
"We're feeling hungry going into games and that can't be good," the source is believed to have said.
"We get lots to eat after matches but we want something before as well."
Squad members are believed to have held a meeting about the regime prior to the 1-0 home defeat against Hull City a fortnight ago, while players have individually gone to Ramos to express their concerns about the routine.

load of rubbish! Whatever player has allegedly said this should eat an extra piece of fruit or bowl of salad and shut his trap around journo’s! No reason to go hungry, as anyone with any dietary knowledge will confirm. Complete nonsense!
