The realisation that Arsenal are more Porto or Ajax than Real Madrid or Barcelona is sinking in. And Spurs fans should be far less entitled.

Spursy
I very nearly wrote in at half time in a rage after that first half.
Would have been a schoolboy error that one, that game wasn’t my first Spurs rodeo.
That first half was f**king terrible all the same. The ends can’t keep justifying the f**king means when it’s as dire as that. Ugh, I should be excited about going on Sunday after that but I’m just, well, I’m not.
God, I sound proper entitled don’t I.
COYS?

Entitled Spurs fans should lighten up
Oh boy, if there’s one thing for certain, that 2-1 win last night was going to boil a lot of piss. And judging by social media, it’s literally all football. From the obvious Arsenal and Marseille fans, to Utd and Liverpool fans claiming ‘warra trophy’. There was even a Rangers fan having a pop. Rangers.
But even more laughably – Spurs fans weren’t happy with the brilliant result. And I find that incredible.
F365 summed it up quite beautifully last night with the reaction piece about the New Spursy. It might not be pretty but it’s bloody effective. It’s very Conte. And as a fairly long in the tooth Spurs fan that suits me fine. I’m old enough to remember Gerry Francis’ lovely hair bestriding the touch line, sending on Jason Dozzell as our impact sub. It’s a little unbelievable how entitled our fan base has become in a relatively short period of time.
And whilst chief moron Jason Cundy was doing his best to rile Jamie O Hara and anyone else who happened to be listening (me) on Talk Sport last night, he made a good point. We haven’t won anything for ages. We are fairly lucky to have Conte at the club (I’m sure the money helps), but actually aside from one major final, we’ve achieved nothing and so we really should be checking our privilege. There seems to be a noisy section of fans calling for Conte to go because *checks notes* we’re sitting 3rd in the league and are in the last 16 of the Champions League as group winners. All whilst not having a fully firing Son, and injuries to Kulusevski and Richarlison. We basically have one fit, if somewhat knackered Harry Kane to score goals. And we didn’t even need him last night!!!
I guess the point I’m making is this. Be grateful for what we have now, and be very careful for what you wish…
