You are still missing the point, the article is talking about a biased agenda to belittle the accomplishments of a young team and manager punching above their weight. The bias in the media that is obvious to everyone except some on here that flippantly treat it as a persecution complex suffered by some fans. The negativity is real folks. Stop trying to dumb it down.
Yes every Club will be subjected to some negative press, that's inevitable.
Conspiracy and agenda are words that don't really desribe what's happening regarding Spurs and media coverage.
However i think it's reasonable, and accurate, to say there has been a general lack of respect towards Spurs in the media for sometime.
It's slowly starting to change now with some pundits. You hear the likes of Neville, the one who has probably been the most consistently praise worthy, particularly of Poch for sometime. More recently Ian Wright and Bellamy - who's comments were brilliant I thought.
But there has been a general lack of respect towards us in the media. We've been punching above our weight for some time and just keep progressing and getting stronger, growing organically and playing some fantastic football with a core group of young English players.
It's just rarely acknowledged, that we're consistently outperforming most of our competitors from a disadvantaged position, and doing so in style.
Compare and contrast to the zillions Mourinho has spent and the football he serves up.
For the first time recently though I think it's slowly going to start changing.
Listening to Craig Bellamy's comments was surreal.
You earn respect then demand it. If someone is not giving your club respect there is a reason.
