It's getting tiresome to see all these mediocre clubs picking us as their main rival because they can't get a proper derby going with their local opponents. Leicester, Southampton, West Ham... all seem to view us as their most hated rivals nowadays. West Ham I can obviously understand due to them also being a London club and Millwall usually in a different division, but the other two... get real.
Southampton being upset about us getting people out of their club, yet Liverpool, United and Woolwich do it just as much, if not more, but somehow we're the ones getting the blame. Liverpool signed three of their players in one freaking transfer window! Among those were their captain and top-goalscorer. And later they added Clyne and Mane as well. Go pick them as your rivals, leave us out of it.
The Leicester thing is even more cringe worthy, they had a complete freak season, with pretty much all the top-teams seriously underperforming, thereby giving them a clear run to the title. We were the one top-club who actually performed above expectation, but a title-run was never expected, nor were we ever truly close to actually winning it. I guess most Spurs fans were just as surprised as Leicester fans were that their respective clubs actually had a chance of winning the league, but even if we had won against Chelsea our chances of actually winning the league were still small. As a whole most Spurs fans were quite happy with our performance last year. Yet, in order to glorify their own achievements Leicester fans will have you believe they battled us out of a head-to-head confrontation for the title, in which we completely bottled it and threw away a 100% certain PL trophy win, and that we were completely heart-broken by it all. I was actually more upset at finishing below Woolwich then I was about losing out on the title. That was never ours to win to begin with, it had always been an outside possibility at bes. Finishing third was poor from our part, that was disappointing, but the title was very unlikely to happen. I congratulate Leicester with winning the title, that was very impressive, and it was actually good to see a team outside of the traditional Sky-teams winning it, but there attempt at trying to establish a rivalry that just isn't there is quite frankly embarrassing.
