Why are spurs fans so miserable ?

[alfie]

I think a lot of the false expectation with the bigger clubs is brought on by generations of family members recounting the good old days of 'When we were a winning team' Obviously whilst being a well supported team year on year, the new generation of supporters have inherited the 'Big team mentality' despite never really seeing their team at the top of their game ever. It runs through lots of teams that have fleeted with success occasionally over the years or clubs that pre 1970 experienced longer term success. Newcastle, Sunderland Leeds, Tottenham, West Ham being a few examples of this, going back further Preston and Burnley, although they no longer have the huge support they once had.  These supporters experience a miscued sense of entitlement and become particularly aggrieved when Little old Fulham, Brighton, Brentford and the like have periods of relative success on minimal budgets in relation to what their own teams spend on players.

Not sure about not having huge support they once had, they have the biggest and best ground in the country and sell out every game.

I think you've missed read what I said, Burnley and Preston no longer have the support they once had, all the others though still have large support.

Yes my apologies.

Arrogant and self obsessed, yet have just as much as us to show for it in the last 15 years. Less actually, we have a Championship trophy  :dft011:

First time I've seen a "top 4 side" park the bus against us. I can see why they're miserable watching that football every week.

Their team played positively for a total of eight minutes. Otherwise a rigid five at the back.  Terrible to watch, the second half as dull as ditchwater.  They are right to be miserable.
