Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou savaged the whole club in his interview after fans celebrated losing to Man City
Ange Postecoglou furiously slammed Tottenham in his post-match press conference following their crushing defeat to Manchester City.
Spurs suffered a bruising 2-0 defeat at home to Man City, who climbed above Arsenal to the top of the Premier League heading into the final day of the season.
The defeat means Postecoglou's side failed to qualify for Champions League football as they lost out to Unai Emery's Aston Villa.
After the match, the Australian boss pulled no punches in his assessment of the club's beliefs amid suggestions the Spurs fanbase wanted their team to lose on purpose to stop rivals Arsenal from winning the league. Check it out below:

"The foundations are really fragile," he exclaimed. "The last 48 hours have shown me that.
"It's inside the club, outside the club. Outside, inside, everywhere. It's been an interesting exercise.
"It's just my observations, mate."
Asked whether the flat atmosphere inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium affected his players, Postecoglou replied: "Of course it does. It is what it is. I can't dictate what people do.
"They're allowed to express themselves any way they want. But yeah, when we've got late winners in games it's because the crowd's helped us."
On the Spurs fans' chants, which included anti-Arsenal songs and some supporters doing the Poznan, the 58-year-old added: "I'm not interested, mate. I just don't care. Maybe I'm out of step, but I just don't care, I just want to win.
"I want to be successful at this football club, it's why I was brought in. So what other people, how they want to feel, and what their priorities are, are of zero interest to me.
"I know what's important to build a winning team - that's what I need to concentrate on."
Spurs now risk missing out on Europa League football as Newcastle United and Chelsea could chase them down.
