Moreover, he added that the last time Tottenham won it was in 1961, which was a long time ago, and their chances of winning it since then have been limited.

No, 1961 was the last time they won it, well that’s a long time. The opposition today with Liverpool and Manchester City being so powerful in the Premier League. Even for United now, we’re having to fight.
