Sure other clubs' supporters have issues, arrogance, sense of entitlement, delusion, I'm not denying that, but there is something inherently plaintive about them.
Apologies if I have offended. These are just my observations, nothing more.

not offended at all, I was mostly saying no to the happiness with finishing 10th and Arsenal getting nothing.
Obviously Arsenal have been the more successful North London club recently, so there are fans (myself included) who are happy if they fail. But not to the degree that it gets above Spurs. The Spurs fans I know in london, mostly just family because I moved when I was very young, are all going to be cheering for Arsenal when they play Man City in a few weeks time.
There is definitely an inferiority complex though, but it comes out more in an acceptance of failure. Losing to Pompey today didn't surprise me, doesn't change that I was mad about it. But after the last 20 years its pretty much expected territory. If Spurs don't finish 4th than Arsenal not winning the title is just a little bonus, although Chelsea winning it isn't much better.
