I think stuff is a bit overblown, I don't think most Spurs fans are happy that they are the first team to win 8 out of first 10 PL games and still finish outside top 4.
I think it's just a nice Cope to say, well sure, we lost to City, and failed to qualify for the CL, but at least we fucked over Arsenal's title challenge.
Just like as a United fan, the season sucks donkey balls, but atleast we fucked Liverpool off from the Fa Cup and from the title race.
