Jamie Redknapp pulled up fellow Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane, on comments in which he said Spurs have had a weakness to them for 20 years.
Redknapp’s father Harry, of course managed Tottenham between 2008-2012, leading them to the Champions League quarter-finals along the way.
Yet in typical Keane fashion, he wasn’t afraid to give an honest assessment of Tottenham, and ended up provoking a reaction from former Spurs and Liverpool midfielder Redknapp.
“They’ve got quality,” Keane said after Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-1.
“I’ve always said when you’ve got a goalscorer like Harry Kane you’ve got a chance of winning football matches.
“Obviously Tottenham have had a weakness to them for 20 years.”
At this point, Redknapp snapped, masking his frustration with a semi-serious tone.
“Oh come on, when my Dad was there they weren’t,” he replied.
“When I was there they were weak but not when my Dad was there.
“I’ve had Gary Neville say that.”
Keane then tried to clear up his verdict.
He added: “We always class Spurs as a cup team haven’t we and there’s a bit of an insult to that.
“Jose will want to change that mentality and it will take a bit of work.”
Kelly Cates then said “that point that Roy makes, I know you took slight exception to the fact…”
Redknapp then jumped in, adding: “I saw Modric and Bale, Tottenham were a good side under my dad.
“I’m not going to not say that.”
