Is anyone actually bothered

If you don't he will probably become a Chelsea or Arsenal fan of his own accord. You wouldn't wish that on anyone....

Yeah, you need to stick that in them when they’re young - regardless. My son,10, enjoys playing football, but think watching it is boring as hell (I can sympathize) - but he’s got Spurs so ingrained in him he recently made the «something smells bad» gesture while pointing at someone in a scum shirt. I’m a proud dad.

brownsAt the end of the day, when we are good again (and that time will come sooner rather than later IMO) we won't be having these conversations.

Until then I'm comfortable riding the lows, otherwise the highs wouldn't be real highs....

It’s not really about being better at Spurs. Just feel disillusioned with football in general but more.
so with spurs. You don’t support spurs for the good times as they are not a guarantee. But for me I felt apart of community, friends, some banter and genuinely hope. I just think I’m getting more and more disconnected … is it an age thing?

6 years of dreadful football + VAR have really diminished things.

There have been dark times before. 1994-2004 was a similar period of decline and disappointment.

I still hold faith though, as 2014-19 was my favourite period ever, so it's probably a cyclical thing rather than a permanent wane.

My son is 4 and I'm debating whether to saddle him with the burden of being a Spurs fan

Know what you mean. I have a Grandson who has just got into football at 6. Obviously Me and Mrs PW are Spurs fans while my future son-in-law is an Everton fan, and I said to him its a shame really because theres nothing down for the liitle un, Spurs or Everton?? What a choice?

And if he chooses to watch Rugby, Warrington....the Tottenham of the Rugby League!
