As he makes a devastating Tottenham Premier League prediction, Alex Ferguson chuckles.
Since Antonio Conte departed the team last season and Ange Postecoglou joined in the summer, Spurs have made significant strides toward being an attacking force. Before injuries slightly derailed them, they went ten games without losing in the Premier League after an incredible start that gave them optimism for a title run.
After a thrilling victory over Brighton on Saturday, Spurs are still fourth in the table, seven points behind league leaders Liverpool.
The late Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United, who won 13 league titles when he was at Old Trafford, is one man who knows a thing or two about winning the Premier League.
And he gave a snappy yet amusing reaction when asked if he thought Tottenham might win the league this year.
Fergie responded simply to a question from Sky Sports: “No.”
The reporter, a Tottenham supporter, and the Scotsman then started laughing. “But even for United, the opposition in the Premier League today is formidable with Liverpool and Manchester City.”
“Well, that’s a long time—the last time they won it was in (19)61,” he continued.
