The popular Premier League team, Tottenham Hotspur, has recently made a request to Premier League broadcasters for a change in how they are referred to during broadcasts. This has caused quite a stir amongst their rivals, particularly Arsenal supporters, who have taken to social media to poke fun at the situation.
According to The Athletic, an email was sent by Tottenham on February 10th, outlining their preferred name going forward. The email, titled 'Tottenham Hotspur Naming Update', stated that the team no longer wishes to be referred to simply as 'Tottenham' during any Premier League broadcasts. Instead, they have requested to be called by their full name, 'Tottenham Hotspur', or simply by their nickname, 'Spurs'.
This news has not been well-received by Arsenal fans, who have been quick to make jokes about their rivals. One fan on Reddit even commented, "I can understand that. The name is synonymous with 's**t'." Another fan added, "I'll do my part by continuing to call them s**t." It seems like the rivalry between these two teams will never die.
Some fans have also taken the opportunity to mock Tottenham's current struggles in the Premier League this season. With a string of injuries and a current 12th place standing, the team is facing a tough time. One fan tweeted, "Swirling down their toilet bowl stadium.. At least American football fans have some history of success at that venue." Another fan joked, "Should have thought about that before they named themselves Tottenham, shouldn't they?"
The team's recent loss in the FA Cup and their exit from the Carabao Cup has only added fuel to the fire. Even former Liverpool defender and football pundit Jamie Carragher couldn't resist taking a jab at Tottenham. After their defeat in the Carabao Cup semi-final, he said, "It's Tottenham. When do Tottenham ever win a big game? When do Tottenham ever go anywhere and surprise you and win against the odds?" Ouch.
But all hope is not lost for Tottenham, as they still have a chance at winning the Europa League this season. The draw for the last 16 has been made, and they are set to face Dutch side AZ Alkmaar. Will they be able to turn their season around and prove their rivals wrong? Only time will tell.
