They even have the front to call our club a bunch of mercenaries as if they know every single one of them personally, though I recall them buying players from us a while ago and also recall them having interest in further purchasing our so called mercenaries.
It seems that the Champions League appearance has gone to their heads, a little would be an understatement. In my opinion under Harry (the king of mercenaries) Redknapp, Tottenham have been punching well above their weight since last season.
They claim superiority over us for last season when we fielded a side largely consisting of Mark Hughes purchases, but fail to see the difference between that squad and the now. They also fail to see that despite all the media hype around our players with stories of player unrest, they think it will affect us negatively making it easier for them to regain a top four spot this season.
The same unrest that is stopping us from picking up one win, the same unrest that has put a stop to Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli scoring goals.
They seem to think they are one player from becoming glorious?, I think that is wishful thinking and delusional to some extent. Without sounding superior I'd say we were far closer to one or two players away from glory.
Glory being able to win a league title or two and get to the final of the Champions League, and not just qualification for the Champions League for one season.
To be frank I find this Spurs rivalry a complete joke and the only reason for their defence that I can come up with would be, the fact we once had a German Luftwaffe pilot play for us, who I will add is an utter Legend and I am a patriotic Englishman descended from a long line of Englishman, some of whom fought in the wars for our freedom.
On that note though we have also had connections with Jewish communities and the latest notable addition is our newest acquisition Israeli Gai Assulin, though I have to say I did not like Tal Ben Haim much as a player and still do not.
It seems they could be setting themselves up for the next encounter against us, and being a City fan we know more than any not to under-estimate anyone no matter who they are.
My heart says if they want a rivalry then they will get one but, I also think they are barking up the wrong tree and under estimating us with a large lack of caution.
When I say rivalry I am not discounting the fact they throw in a portion of hate with that, but we're not concerned with that now are we. They just join a long queue or haters sharing the front of the pack with Newcastle United and Man United, which is a sweet taste on our tongues if you ask me.
Our next encounter is Blackpool who are at the other end of the spectrum where we were not so long ago, with that said I have to say I have been very impressed by them. The Seasiders are a very British team made up mostly of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish players in the top ten and were only promoted to the Premier League last season.
Complete respect to Blackpool FC, Spurs fans could learn a lot from them but it is another must win so respect aside when the game starts.
Oh and have I forgot to mention the January transfer window and the fact Spurs have to face us in April?
That's something for them to chew on until then, have a Happy New Year.
