White Sox fans, think you’ve had it bad? Try rooting for rotten Tottenham Hotspur.

They took their seats — half a dozen of them — in a North Side bar Sunday morning that was otherwise a sea of Liverpool F.C. red.

Frankly, I wouldn’t have been surprised if no Tottenham Hotspur fans had showed up at A.J. Hudson’s, so awful has our English Premier League season been.

“It’s foolhardy to have too much hope. … We’ve been disappointed too many times,” grumbled one of those fans, Todd Hawes, 56, of Bartlett.

You might be unfamiliar with Tottenham, the soccer club, but the last two times the Chicago Bears were in London, they played at Tottenham’s $1.4 billion stadium — one of the best in Europe — and with a retractable pitch specifically designed to host NFL games.

One of the world’s wealthiest soccer clubs, Tottenham are currently standing on a precipice, facing a doomsday scenario — the once unthinkable — if they can’t stop the rot: relegation.

This is shaping up to be, for all of the wrong reasons, one of the biggest stories in sports outside of the U.S.

For the richest, most successful clubs in England’s “Top Flight,” the “r” word is what happens to other, less important teams — a quaint custom that keeps things fresh and also allows the so-called minnows to get a whiff, however brief, of one of the most glamorous leagues in sports.

It works like this: At the end of the season, the three teams with the fewest points after playing 38 games are relegated to a lower division; three teams come up from that division to take their place.

It's not a perfect comparison, but it would be like the Chicago Cubs dropping down to the minors and having to play the Omaha Storm Chasers or the Toledo Mud Hens week in and week out.

Tottenham’s best players would most likely turn up their noses at playing in England’s second tier and demand to leave. And it’s been estimated that the team would lose about $340 million in revenue from falling out of the Premier League. On top of that, Arsenal, our hated North London rivals, appear to be on course to be crowned Premier League champions at the end of the season.

“I love it! I’m praying for it!” said Kojo Asante, 31, an Arsenal fan who lives in the Uptown neighborhood and who was at A.J. Hudson’s Sunday. “What a great year it would be if Arsenal wins it all and Tottenham goes down!”

I grew up watching Spurs, thrilling at the sight of the electric green pitch as I made my way through the turnstiles — for a mere $4 — to the terraces. English midfield maestro Glenn Hoddle played for my team in those days, along with Argentinian World Cup winners Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa. We won trophies, played gorgeous football.

This season, I’ve witnessed silkier skills watching my son’s third-grade soccer team, on their way to taking first place in their Sunday league. Losing star striker Harry Kane to German giants Bayern Munich was devastating; so too was saying goodbye to South Korean superstar Son Heung-Min, who now plays in the U.S. for LAFC. Injuries to key players haven't helped.

Tottenham have dithered in acquiring new players, waiting too long or not coughing up enough money to get the best ones.

With the fare as flat as a deflated souffle, the players are routinely booed off the pitch.

“For the love of God,” I scream at the TV, “do you really want to be the first Tottenham team to go down in almost 50 years!”

On Sunday, against the odds, something jolted this woeful bunch into action. Tottenham almost never win at Anfield, Liverpool’s stadium, and last year they thrashed us 5-1 there.

Sunday’s was a scrappy game and, predictably, Liverpool struck first, scoring a goal Tottenham’s keeper should have saved.

“Don’t talk to me!” snapped Spurs fan Jorge Guzman, 32, of Bellwood, after Liverpool went ahead.

But Liverpool aren’t the team they were last year, when they won the Premier League. Their defense is leaky, they are wasteful in front of goal.

With the introduction of two of Tottenham’s more creative players late on, Liverpool’s lead looked precarious. The equalizer came in the final minute of the game, when attacker Randal Kolo Muani latched onto a long ball from the Spurs keeper, held off a Liverpool defender, before passing to streaky striker Richarlison (yes, he has only one name), who slotted the ball into the net.

Pandemonium in the bar — well, as much pandemonium as you can have with six Spurs fans.

The game ended in a 1-1 draw, keeping us a single point above the relegation zone. But we’re not safe yet. There are eight more games to play. Anything can happen.

“I don’t think we will go down,” Guzman said. “But it will be very close.”
