I sadly take your point, having grown wearily accustomed to supporting the only team in the Premiership's history to have neither finished in the top 6 or bottom 6 of the top division since its re-formation.

But still a lot of spite there. If support matched achievement then all 3 would be a lot more equal, sadly we've been let down by a succession of inferior chairmen and managers.

But anyway. . . Allow me a little sunshine in a bleak 15 years. Usually when the red scum play the blue scum I'm cheering for a mass brawl which leads to both teams being disqualified in disgrace. But can't help but like Ranieri so glad to see him triumph over Arsene Whinger.
Hope someone's celebrating betting a wedge on a Chelsea-Monaco semi. . .

I think Spurs are potentially the biggest of the 3. Historically, Chelsea, West Ham and Arsenal have all looked at you as the team to beat, presumably because you were the glamourous club.

Chelsea's support is laughable, when they last got promoted, they had several gates of under 8,000. And gates of 12,000 were the norm as recently as the '80s. Spurs have never been that badly supported.

Last couple of years it's been truly shocking to see Chelsea playing in the Uefa Cup and having attendances of about 15,000.

About all you can say for Spurs in recent years is that we still sell out. That was what Alan Sugar couldn't believe - coming from a ruthless, non-football business background - that his club could serve up shit every week, charge huge prices - and still us fools would turn up in our multitudes every week!
And even after a catastrophically incompetent season on virtually every front, what am I doing this week, but. . . preparing the season ticket renewal. . . D'oh. . .
