‘We’ve got a chance’ – Postecoglou reacts to 0.1% odds of Spurs winning the leagueÂ
Ange Postecolgou has laughed it off when told a supercomputer has given Tottenham only a minuscule chance of winning the Premier League title, with the Australian insisting that his side are going to continue to give it a good go.
It was deduced by data analysis platform Opta (as relayed by Sky Sports) earlier this week that Spurs have just a 0.1 per cent chance of lifting the Premier League trophy this season.
Opta installed Manchester City as the overwhelming favourites to finish at the top of the tree, giving them a 66.2 per cent chance of lifting their fourth consecutive league title.

Does it go to a phone booth and change into something else from just a normal computer" What did it say, 0.1%" So we’ve got a chance then! Let?s go for it. No problems, no issues with that, we?ve got a chance.”
Tottenham sit seven points behind league leaders Liverpool with 15 games left to go in the season.
While some of the Spurs’ recent displays might raise serious doubts about their ability to keep pace with the best sides in the division, the Lilywhites have been boosted by the return of several key players over the last few weeks.
Postecoglou pointed out that he has a nearly fully fit squad available for the first time since the start of the season and admitted that there is a lot of exciteme...
