Manchester United icon Roy Keane riled Jamie Redknapp up in the Sky Sport studio on Sunday over a differing of opinion on Tottenham’s success over the year. Spurs take on United this afternoon with the hope of keeping their top-four chances alive.
With just eight games remaining in the league, Tottenham currently have an outside chance of qualifying for next year’s Champions League.
And Tottenham’s form over the years was a hot topic among Sky Sports pundits Redknapp and Keane before the game.
The former Republic of Ireland international argued that Spurs have always had a “softness” to their team, insisting it’s been a part of the club’s DNA for the past 40 years.
Redknapp took offence to the remarks though as he jumped to the defence of his former club.
See below for a full transcript of the explosive argument between the pair.

Roy Keane: “There is a softness in this Spurs team.”
Jamie Redknapp: “They got to the Champions League final the year before that, Roy.”
RK: “Yeah, they got to the Champions League and they were lucky to get to that final.”
JR: “They got there though, didn’t they?”
DON’T MISS
RK: “Getting to the final is like being top of the league in November. They got to the final but they got beaten in the final. What are we sitting here talking about Mourinho for? If you’re going to get to a final, the whole point of getting in the final is trying to win the bloody thing! And when Mourinho leaves, there’ll still be a softness to this Spurs team. That’s down to the players.
JR: “So they’re been soft for the last however many years?” No, no, no, I’m not having that. So when they got to the quarter-final of the Champions League with [Gareth] Bale, [Luka] Modric, that was a good team. You can’t say they were always soft, Roy!”
RK: “Jamie, if a quarter-final is a success, then you can have your success.”
JR: “You can say that about Tottenham, but they’ve had some great teams in the last few years as well.”
RK: “There’s been a softness to them, Jamie.”
RK: “Spurs have been soft for the last 40 years!”
JR: “They’re not as good as United, they’ve not been as good as City, they haven’t spent the money that those teams have spent.”
RK: “There’s a softness to them, there’s always been a softness to Spurs.”
JR: “I don’t agree with you.”
