What I think is closer to the truth, in the uk anyway, is that when we play a non top 6 team, the pundits and Co commentators are always rooting for the underdog, understandably. But when we play a top 6 team, the pundits and Co commentator invariably always used to play for the team we are up against. This means an end result of sky literally always rooting for the other teamI have a theory. The whole world knows that we are probably the most beautiful football club on the planet, but commentators & pundits need to be seen to be impartial, so, subconsciously they overcompensate for their admiration (indeed LOVE and ADMIRATION) for The Spurs, either by making harsh, unfair and often ridiculous comments, or simply ignoring us altogether. It's a form of flattery.
Yes, they're all in denial. Pity them.
Edit - except Dixon - he's a cunt.
