Scrouge Harry threatens party punishment

Harry Redknapp has blown his top after Tottenham players held a secret Christmas party. The Spurs boss, who banned celebrations until the end of the season, has now threatened to "severely" punish those players who flew to Dublin for the bash four days before the shock 1-0 home loss to Wolves last weekend. "It's being dealt with internally," Redknapp told BBC Radio. "We will get Saturday's game against Blackburn out of the way and then, believe you me, it will be sorted out." Earlier, Redknapp ordered his players not to organise a party, saying they should remain focused on their bid to finish in the top four of the EPL and qualify for the Champions League. Spurs bounced back from the Wolves defeat with an impressive 3-0 win over Manchester City in midweek and currently lie fifth, ten points behind leaders Chelsea, and two points behind fourth placed Aston Villa.
