Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino launches passionate defence of Wembley

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has insisted that Wembley is the 'best place in the world to play football' amid plummeting attendances and after Danny Rose claimed it is no longer 'an honour' to play at the national stadium.

Tottenham will play their home matches at Wembley until the end of this calendar year - but the club are still to confirm an official move-in date for the new White Hart Lane.

Attendances have been dropping at Wembley and on Wednesday against Southampton, only 33,012 turned up to watch Tottenham's 3-1 victory. This was a 10,000 drop on the previous poorest attendance of 43,268 against Cardiff in October.
