Redknapp tells moaning Spurs fans to zip it

 

Harry Redknapp has dismissed the Tottenham supporters who jeered his side during their midweek FA Cup win against Fulham as "idiots".Redknapp was unhappy to hear Tottenham's players booed off by a section of the White Hart Lane crowd when they trailed 1-0 to Fulham at half-time on Wednesday.Spurs ignored the jeers to score three times in the second half and clinch a 3-1 win that set up a semi-final against Portsmouth next month.
