A lot of fans don't want to win any Micky mouse trophies though.
I hear what you are saying lads when mentioning Rochdale/Pompey/WHU, but I'm on about clubs with massive fan bases and quality squads like ourselves. Truth is the vast majority of our humiliations are self inflicted sadly....
i know its depressing but at least we arent Rochdale
I reckon that the mentality of our fan base is the most messed-up of any in the Premier League.
As a collective, we are full of self doubt and low esteem (“…we can’t compete with the likes of United, Chelsea and City…”), while simultaneously believing that we are one of the biggest clubs in Europe, but realising it could be worse (“…at least we aren’t Rochdale…”), yet optimistic that real success is just around the corner, with a bit of luck as long as we don’t f@#k it up as usual, and so we don’t really care about “any Micky Mouse trophies” because we’re better than that, even though we’re not good enough to win them…
I don’t think any other club is so unsure of itself than Tottenham. The likes of United, Chelsea, City, etc. expect to be winning the league every year. Liverpool and Arsenal even despite their problems assume that they will be top 4. While the likes of West Ham, Villa, Newcastle, even Everton, ‘know their place’ in the pecking order, even if some seasons are better or worse than others.
On the other hand, 50% of Spurs supporters might think that finishing 5th place was a complete failure, while another equally sizeable group might think that top 6 is good enough. Honestly, I think we are a bunch of sporting schizophrenics.
