Those factual intricacies have probably flown straight over their heads. To be fair, even after their title win, did anyone really see Leicester dominating for a generation? I think we all saw it as a Roy of The Rovers lottery win come true.
As for the FA Cup, it's a two team final which Chelsea were strong favourites for. It took a worldy, two world class saves & a correctly disallowed goal for Leicester to triumph. No one would have been surprised in the slightest if they'd lost.
Spurs are different. They've always flattered to deceive. They are a part of English football's power clubs, but strangely aren't there based on success. They've always been the bridesmaid & rarely the bride, but in their fans minds the Northern upstarts City have not only upset the Sky 4's apple cart, they've upset the ambitions of the chasing pack too. They're finding it hard to deal with.
Most of my family are in North London & are Spurs fans/season ticket holders. It kills them to see what City have achieved. My lot didn't care much for Moureen, but they were so desperate for a trophy, any trophy, that they were happy to hold their nose for three years in the hope Moureen could land even a Carabao Cup or two.
Strangely, they see it as City have killed their dreams & chances of success. ManUre, The Dippers, L'Arse & The Chavs have all struggled at some point over the last 10 years. Spurs replaced all of them as CL regulars at one point or another, but they honestly believe they could have been winners if not for City skewing football with our oil money.
It's weird. None of them mind being stiffed by the old Sky 4, but even now they find City's success hard to swallow & accept.... :-|
