ROY KEANE brought Tottenham crashing back down to earth with a typically-brutal rant.
And he claimed even the bus driver is getting praised this season.
Keane, 52, was on punditry duties for Sky Sports’ Super Sunday yesterday – including Spurs’ 2-2 draw away at Manchester United.
Tottenham twice came from behind against Erik ten Hag’s struggling side, thanks to goals from Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur.
The Bentancur strike came within seconds of the restart after half-time, meaning new United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe missed it.
Spurs had more shots, dominated possession and overall were the better team in the Premier League clash.

But they were unable to find a winning goal at Old Trafford.
So the former Red Devils skipper was in no mood to buy into the Ange Postecoglou love affair.
Straight-talking Keane said: “Spurs are having a very good season. ‘Spurs were this, Spurs were that…’ They drew the game.
“They didn’t come and win at Old Trafford. It was a draw.”

Jamie Redknapp chipped in that Tottenham are missing a host of players.
But Keane hit back: “Man United are missing some players.
“It’s amazing when we do a TV game, we end up speaking for an hour about players who weren’t here.
“It’s about the players who were out there.
“If you want to be a big club, you have to deal with setbacks.”
Keane – who earlier slammed Andre Onana for his involvement in Richarlison’s goal – continued: “Tottenham were the better team, yeah.
“But we can’t sit here and go overboard on Spurs and say Spurs are outstanding.
“We heard from the manager, he’s obviously going to praise his players.
“The staff got praise, the coaches, the bus driver got praise, everyone’s getting praise.
“Listen, it was against a poor Man United team who are in a difficult place. It was 2-2. Everyone relax.”
And the brilliant rant went down a storm with some rival fans of Tottenham.
One Arsenal supporter said: “Thank God for Roy Keane.
“The only piece of REALITY that lives on that channel. “Redknapp, the a***-kisser extraordinaire firmly told to calm the f*** down.”
Another quipped: “I put it on at half-time on @5liveSport. It was incredible. Spurs were basically Real Madrid. Imagine how shocked I was to find out at that point that Utd were actually in the lead.”
A third added: “He’s actually so bang on calm down everyone. Spurs dominated the ball yesterday but created very very little! Utd were there for the taking spurs didn’t do enough and were very very lucky not to get beat with the chance at the end!”
A fourth joked: “Everyone is talking about Tottenham missing players but look at the amount of trophies they are missing.”
