The word that shall never be used again...

Spursy.

Stop it.

 

[yido_number1]

It's bad enough other fans using it. When our own fans adopt its hard to take.

 

[Borks]

Always hated it.

 

[riggi]

Talksport have a bottle ometer which is a feature about us and Arsenal

 

[HodisGawd]

Not a fan of it either. I am however a fan of Spurs.

 

[riggi]

O and as for the Spursy thing.

It's true though...

 

[Styopa]

It sounds like something I might have called my pet hamster when I was 6.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

I'm pretty sure we coined the phrase ourselves

 

[DiscoD1882]

Sorry but much like the term "Yid" was used to desensitise the racism, this is us taking back possession of our own fuck up's and the hurt. So I am going to continue using it.

Sorry.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Crap word for crap fans

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.

Edit: Let's take this discussion after the season. It we bottle the season run in, if will be forbidden to forbid "Spursy".

Alright Confucius, just stop using it yeah.

I somewhat disagree. We adopted the word 'Yid' when other fans used it to insult us afterall.

If we actually don't bottle it this time and win something or finish in the top four and build up that type of consistency then I think the word "spursy" would be better fitting to describe when everyone expects us to fail and we succeed. We can't stop other fans from using it, so lets change the definition.

 

[riggi]

When we stop being Spursy then we can stop using it.

Simples.

lets cross that bridge when we come to it.

if we are being spursy the bridge would break as we were about to cross it. Arrghhhhhh.......

I'll cut you a deal:
PL title: No more "Spursy"
Top 4: "Spursy" only for really big events. Like Harry Kane transferring to Arsenal and Timothy usurping again and stuff like that.
5th or worse: Anybody trying to forbid "Spursy" must spend one entire season as a dedicated Arsenal supporter.
