Spurs Thread - 2021/22

Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo said the club's "feelgood factor disappeared" as they were beaten by Pacos de Ferreira in the Europa Conference League play-off first leg.

Melodramatic or what?. So fragile.
In other words. Their season ended beating us.
 
That's strange. I've seen plenty of videos on YT of Spurs fans banging on (and on, and on, and on) about how they're a much bigger club than lickle ol' Citeh. So, which is it?
Nope I'd say fairly similar on fanbase and trophies won, obviously you've gone ahead in recent years and no doubt will continue to do so.

I think City and Spurs have been similar sized clubs for most of their history, which started well before the PL era. There has often been an edgy relationship between the fans but I am not sure why because we have a lot in common. Both clubs grew up in working class multi-racial areas with very loyal and passionate fanbases.
Now we are in the money but have mostly retained our hard-core Mancunian support. We get accused of being plastics but I can honestly say that, apart from the bigger CL nights, we still don't get many tourists at our matches. The culture at Spurs and City is very different to Arsenal and United.
I thought last Sunday's match was possibly the best atmosphere I have ever been in at any football match. It was a cauldron of sheer noise in a fantastic stadium.. Spurs really do deserve to get a team in there that is worthy of that support.

Great post there and I agree, I wasn't quite born yet but did alot of the hostility arise after the '81 Cup Final? I don't understand it either really. As you say our clubs have lots in common including bring over shadowed for much of our respective histories by our supposed 'bigger' rivals. That's good that you mentioned that you still don't get the tourist or daytripper type fans as I was going to ask what 'old school' City fans make of how things are now. Would you say there's a change in atmosphere in the ground to say the 90's?
