I currently vehemently dislike Spurs.
I dislike them because of the way they act towards our club.
I dislike them because they like to throw around words like "classless" without a trace of irony.
I dislike them because they are the media darlings of the age; the new Manchester United, who have a bunch of good but not great players, hyped to be the next Maradona.
I dislike them because their manager is tactically clueless and bankrupts every club that he has been at.
I dislike them because they shout from the rooftops about "Arab money" when they are owned by their own billionaire and formerly owned by Alan Sugar.
I dislike them because they play poor football which is somehow touted as exciting and consists of twatting it down the wings.
I dislike them because their manager is the most bent bastard in the history of football, but gets away with it because he's never shy to take a journo out to lunch.
I dislike them because they somehow think that they are "above us" as both a club and a fanbase.
I dislike them because they like to refer to themselves by names that should not be spoken in modern society.
Apart from that, they're alright. I don't dislike them as much as the scousers, rags or geordies, but they come in a close fourth.
Deep down dislike Spurs because despite spending an obscene amount of money and playing great football. The praise and adulation the you so badly want from the media hasn’t arrived as the limelight has been taken by spurs..
What limelight do you believe Spurs currently have that should be City's? Spurs, despite only being 3 points behind United, and with a game in hand, have been written off as title contenders by pretty much everyone. The question is constantly asked, who will win the Premiership? The answers seem to be split between City and United, with City gettign the lions share of votes. Spurs don't even enter the equation. Lest we forget that when Spurs have had to play against United and City they have been abjectly humiliated to the tune of 8-1 over the 2 games thus far......
A vast majority of threads on this forum state that the media is not giving the credit that City deserve and that Spurs achievements are being blown out of proportion..
City are being treated no different to how Chelsea were perceived after an influx of finance, when you are at the top people will shoot you down, when you are at the top due to a billionaire owner this is multiplied..
When your team is full of 20-30m pound players good football should be the norm and success is winning the league and a cup each year anything less is failure. No one is ever going to say what a great team has been built at City at the moment because it can be done at any club with the same funding.. Maybe in 5yrs if City are sustainable they might get more support.
Everyone likes and underdog out of the top six teams this is Spurs so there is a bit of a media wankfest. Is this over the top, probably a little bit but most of it is deserved a team that pre season that was expected by most to finish 5-7th maybe sneak fourth is currently mixing it with the top two 20 games into the season after losing the first 2 games. Whilst playing exciting football this Spurs play “kick and Rush” is nonsense..
Will we win the league? Unlikely .
Is there a chance? Yes if key players remain fit
Personally I think City will coast it with Spurs finishing 2nd-5th. I Would take fourth now if offered as Spurs have spent the last 20yrs F***ing up..
The interesting thing I often wonder is have City helped or hindered Spurs since the new owners?
On one hand you could look at the table and say we would have finished 4th last year and currently be 2nd. However City have nicked Arsenals best players and signed alot of players who would have ended up at City/Chelsea/United therefore weakening their first teams.
