It sounds a bit 'Tin Hat' to suggest it.....But yes, I think it plays a part (even though it might be subliminally on some levels!)

I personally don't see it ever stopping regardless of what we win. If it is a domestic cup they'll tread all over it saying it wasnt what it was in spite of wanking off Manure for winning the league cup.
We could win the league and still not get as much plaudits as arse did for bottling it.
Franky I'm ok with that. It is annoying at times but would be weird to be lauded like the plastics.
As a Scandinavian my conclusion is: English football journalists are extremely unprofessional!Good old Mr Wilson, being a cunt once again:
Will Spursiness stop Harry Kane winning at Bayern Munich?
The England captain is coming from a team known for its ability to mess things up – that experience should change in his career with the German championswww.theguardian.com
They are fan-boys with a journalist degree!
Probably the main reason Yes! Can't find any other legit reason
They all say we as a fanbase are "entitled and delusional"
Being on this forum for a couple of years, says that is purely a myth!
But whatever fits your narrative i guess?
It could be that the fans act like a big club but compared to the other big clubs we've won fuck all in the PL era.
Well that's the funny thing about Kane's comments about wanting to feel the pressure of being at a club that DEMANDS winning titles....
I thought we WERE entitled and demanding?! Apparently not enough it seems!
(Though I guess technically, entitlement and demanding are two different things!)
...we're clearly just happy to bumble along, not demanding anything, or really hurting anyone.... in which case, I still don't get the hate and ridicule.... Yet there it is, front and centre, time and time again!
.... unlessssss.......
In the past I'd have said no but with all the Saudi money in the game, that Saudi money may be gaining an increasing media presence and maybe not overt or even consciously but it's unlikely to be favourable environment for a Jewish owned club.
I don't think it's taken Saudi investment to suddenly create an anti-Tottenham feeling amongst rival fans and within certain parts of the media....
It's been there for generations! ... way before the notion of Saudi investment was even a 'thing'!
...and besides, Chelsea used to have a Jewish owner (albeit a Russian one!)
Woolwich had a Jewish chairman for years in David Dein...
Where was all the derogatory 'Jewish club' finger pointing at them?
Simple fact, there WEREN'T any!
It seems to definitely be just a 'Tottenham' thing!
Btw, this (albeit from last year) is an interesting read:
British Jews love soccer. So why are there no Jews in the Premier League? - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Jews were once so commonplace in professional British soccer that they weren’t noticed. But since 1992, only one British-born Jew has ever played in the Premier League.

Oh for sure, I just don't that that wa anti-semetic. It may not be now but it's not likely to be helped by increasing Saudi influence.
That's probably the problem with how other fans sees us!
If we are content with how things are going, they mock us and hates us for being serial losers
And if we are demanding and want's us to take the next step, succeed, and act like a big club(which we have actually been the last 10 years) they mock us and hates us for being "entitled" pricks!
It seems we can't win!?
Which makes me believe the hate comes from something deeper!
That's the most odd thing ever! Are they employed as ex Spurs-players, or as ex Spurs-players that hates Spurs??
I don't see this from other clubs icons!
Fall apart under pressure how.
But the biggest cunt must be that papers editor?!Good old Mr Wilson, being a cunt once again:
Will Spursiness stop Harry Kane winning at Bayern Munich?
The England captain is coming from a team known for its ability to mess things up – that experience should change in his career with the German champions
How the fuck can you decide to print such drivel, instead of telling the cunt who wrote it he's a cunt???
I doubt they know much about football, much less the politics of it all.

What a cunt. Read the first few paragraphs and had to stop. If I had a subscription to the Guardian I would cancel it.
Remember when I used to believe left wing and right wing existed, was dumb enough to think the Guardian wasn't a scam.
It might dawn on the pundits at Sky etc that spending every summer trying to convince one of the best players to leave their cash cow league because ‘he should go and win a trophy’ ain’t the smartest idea. Well congratulations guys, he is now playing in an absolutely gash league. Bremen were wank; more like a pub team.
