"It's only Tottenham"

[Stat Brother]

One of the lesser quotes from Roy Keane's book.

While writing about Sir Alex's team talks, apparently the team didn't know what to expect.
A lengthy player by player tactical analysis or something a bit more to the point.

That is until they played Spurs.

The team were sat waiting.
Fergie walks in and says:-

'It's only Tottenham'

He then turns round and walks out.

United went on to win.

They were 3-0 down at half time. Fergie had to come up with something better at half time.

Is that so.
I was just passing on the bare bones as it was said on The Football Weekly podcast.

As is the way, the whole story is not as much fun.

That is how I would start and end all my team talks tbh.

 

[Dougie]

Will Sami use the same tactic ?

Will Sami use the same tactic ?

Hope not, tactics doesn't seem to be his strong point.

he could deliver it with his arms folded .

He would be better off using tictacs !!

You lot can have Sammi, and we can go go for the Palace route of dinasour managers in Pullis and Warnock. Though it seems to be working quite well at the moment

I think we'll need extra strong mints this evening!!

 

[Triggaaar]

Is that so.

I doubt it. It's true of one of their matches, but probably not the one you were referring too.

Fear not, I was only kidding, your story is intact. Actually, I'd find it more funny if it was the 3-0 HT 3-5 FT match. Imagine the half time talk after he opened with 'It's only Tottenham'.
