I don't think its that surprising they would underrate us and i think its funny that people on this forum are so judgemental about it now. If you don't follow italian football closely and just read some headlines you would think we are much weaker side than last season.
Hell, if you visited this forum within the last few months(before the Napoli win) reading the posts around here you would think we were in crisis mode, allegri was not capable of forming a coherent attacking plan

Beppes transfer policies were continuing to screw us, and it was "the end of an era" and the lot of you doom and gloomers actually watch italian football so you have no excuse unlike the Tottenham fans who probably don't. Plenty of posts around here about how we weren't even going to be in the scudetto race and the best football in the world was going to wallop us in Nipples and blow us away in the title race
From what I've read, the Tottenham fans actually seem to rate us higher than many around here were doing up until about a week ago.
