Spurs chief Andre Villas-Boas has lifted a party ban imposed by old boss Harry Redknapp, now in charge at Hoops.

AVB said: “It’s normal, part of our group spirit. I am not sure if it’s those kind of situations that will affect performances.

“We will try to gather the group, to have dinner and go on from there.”

But AVB is not happy with just one bash.

He added: “We will try to get two or three. I am not worried about what might happen.”

Redknapp burst the balloons at Spurs — but it is the QPR players who have cancelled their festive celebrations this year due to their poor start.

Rangers are bottom of the Premier League after failing to win any of their 15 games so far.

The players were due to go out in London but they scrapped it because they did not want to give fans the wrong impression.

A club spokesman said: “We won’t be holding a Christmas party this year.”

When asked why this was the case, the spokesman added: “Have you seen the league table?”

Redknapp has never been a fan of parties at this time of the season.

He said last year: “If they can’t miss having a drink with the money they are earning there is something wrong with them.”

QPR’s decision came days after West Ham striker Andy Carroll was accused of a bust-up with a photographer during a knees-up in Dublin.
