Utterly bizarre. Why is this?
One club has developed a spine of good young players who are the future of the national team (Rose, Walker, Dier, Alli, Kane), play an attractive game currently and by tradition, has no history that I know of against us, and are perennial under-achievers - including the unpleasant (for them) experience of being bridesmaid to our most unlikely season.
The other club is widely supported amongst the most thuggish elements of London and beyond, has only found meaningful success through the financial shenanigans of first Ken Bates and then a russian oligarch - and then only with a self-absorbed coach in love with negativity and whose only contribution to english football was to bring John Terry on. And to top that off, cheated us out of a place in the 1997 FA Cup semi-final.
What am I missing?
