This is the moment that Ange Postecoglou delivered a sharp response to a reporter surrounding his successful past.
Tottenham are in FA Cup action tonight as they take on fellow Premier League side Burnley in North London.
And with attention turning away from the Premier League for a weekend, the focus is on lifting silverware - one of Postecoglou's main objectives at Spurs.
Of course, Postecoglou has a good track record of delivering trophies in his management career whether it be in Australia, Japan or Scotland. This would've been on the list of reasons why Daniel Levy appointed the 58-year-old last summer.

He won five out of the six domestic trophies available to him in Scotland while he was at Celtic, including the treble last season.
So when a reporter asked him if he'd ever imagined himself winning a cup at Spurs while previewing this weekend's game, it's easy to see why the Aussie got his backup.
The exchange began with the journalist asking if he's envisaged lifting a trophy.
Postecoglou was witty in his response. He said: "I've got real pictures, mate. There's quite a few of them, mate."
The reporter came back: "That's mentally what I'm thinking. Do you picture..."
Postecoglou interrupted: "No, I just look at the ones I've got, mate."
Reporter: "You're lucky to be able to do that."
A tad spikey, Postecoglou finished: "No, I've earnt them. I'm not lucky."

The FA Cup seems like it will be Spurs' most realistic chance of winning a trophy this season having already been knocked out of the League Cup.
They are of course only six points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, but with the injuries sustained to key players, a title tilt appears unlikely.
