The famous 'Lads, it's Tottenham' assessment from Sir Alex Ferguson was branded derogatory by Paul Scholes ahead of the Europa League final. And Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle believes Ange Postecoglou might just have turned it on its head in the dressing room. The legendary Manchester United boss was present in Bilbao for the final between the two Premier League strugglers and his presence got the pundits reminiscing about days gone by at both clubs. Back when Scholes was playing, Ferguson delivered a famous four-word team-talk before a clash with Spurs where he simply said 'lads, it's Tottenham.' But the legendary midfielder doesn't think that's aged too well. "'Lads, it's Tottenham' - It feels a bit derogatory to talk about such a great football club like that," he told TNT Sports. "We were always confident against Tottenham. You still have to play against a team with very good footballers." And Hoddle, who played an incredible 490 times for Spurs in the 1970s and 80s and was right behind Ange Postecoglou in his pursuit of European silverware, joked the Aussie might just have inverted it before kick-off. He said: "Maybe in that dressing room Ange is saying, 'Listen lads, it's only Man Utd'."
