Every clubs fanbase thinks their is a bias against them, you are 100% correct. Fans from all clubs are protective against their clubs and take a default option to protect their club that they love, they get angered at insinuations that they are shit, that player x, y or z is shit or that their manager should have done x, y or z. I'm not disputing that for one second. It forms probably 80%(completely guessing) of the relationship between media and fans. It works because it creates response, response creates clicks, views and engagement, engagement = £££££. Nice things get read but generates far less engagement with the actual supporter base. That said what's on the rise is the interaction of the rival fan abuse and anger that a "nice" or positive piece then generates. Journalists get bombarded with shit from supporters on a negative piece they have written, then get shit from rival fans if they have written a positive piece.
I'm saying there is a "narrative". This narrative that Spurs have is that Spurs can't keep hold of their players and manager. Are you saying this narrative doesn't exist?
As detailed in previous posts all Clubs have a narrative set around them too, it's not just a Spurs thing. The narrative that surrounds the other clubs I bet is just as annoying to their fans too. Liverpool's poor defence is their narrative, whilst there are kernels of truth about a shit goal keeper, or a dodgy CB they actually have the 4th best defence in the league, just two gaols worse off than us. A narrative that really doesn't represent the reality, which is no doubt really fucking annoying to their supporters. It is something that the media will mention pre-match and post-match. If Lovren or their keeper makes a mistake then it fuels the narrative but the reality is they are in the top 10% of defensives in the country. When a narrative takes hold it is picked up on and regurgitated by rival fans as a truth. The result is large swaths of the clubs own fanbase stop defending it and start to repeat it. It's why I have challenged you and Nikesh (most recently) on the subject of keeping our players and manager. I wouldn't be doing this if we were unable to keep our players (I expect we will lose a player here and there because I acknowledge our place in the football pyramid) but we have only lost ONE.
Our narrative of selling our players not our manager is false. It's false because we have only lost one player (Walker) in the period Poch has been our manager. I'm saying this doesn't warrant the narrative, it doesn't support it one bit. In fact it's false and totally inaccurate.
