Ange Postecoglou jokingly responds to talkSPORT's Ian Abrahams with Tottenham set to run out of trophies again
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou jokingly shouted at talkSPORT's Ian Abrahams after being asked about the club's trophy drought.
Abrahams, known by the nickname Moose, was speaking to the Australian and seemed to strike a chord when he asked him about the club's wait for silverware.
Tottenham were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in August when they were beaten by Fulham in the second round.
And their journey in the FA Cup also came to an abrupt end after last Friday's 1-0 defeat against city of manchester in the fourth round.
No European football this season and Spurs in fifth place and currently eight points behind the Premier League leaders Liverpoolit seems very likely that the club's 16-year wait for a trophy will continue.
But that didn't stop Postecoglou having a little fun with poor Moose.
Speaking at Tuesday's press conference, talkSPORT's Abraham asked: “In your career it's rare that you go a year without winning a trophy, which will probably happen this year, so is it now a success to be in the top four? “.
To which Postecoglou replied: “So we can't win the league?”
As Abrahams insisted that was what he meant, Postecoglou chuckled: “Well, you did. Probably? Okay, okay, you can say that.
“Okay, don't worry, you can say it, don't worry.

“You don't think we're going to win the league, okay, just be strong at it, okay!”
Although Postecoglou answered the question and said: “Look, I understand it and I understand the question.
“It's disappointing that we're out of both cup competitions, particularly not being in Europe because our fans are really clamoring for some kind of success that they can experience, but I can't let that guide my course.
“This year is still about us growing as a team, finishing the second half of the year stronger than the first.
“If we do that, we will be in a good position to continue to challenge and push this team. That is our approach.
“As much as there is disappointment, obviously we are out of another cup, it is also a real reminder to us that it is not just about winning a trophy.
“If we're going to compete at the level we want to, then we have a lot of work to do.”
