Criticism Dulux spurs "jokes"
- Thread starter CollyQC

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Someone replied that we should have partnered with Durex instead coz we keep getting fucked
My viewpoint on this is that as a club we are constantly held up as a joke amongst other fans and in the media. That may be considered fair enough and sure we could push on and be more successful if the man upstairs wasn't a tight arse. I'm used to the tedious flack we seem to receive disproportionally to other teams.
But I sure as hell don't expect it from people that are paying vast sums of money to work with you. Can you imagine this happening to any other club?

what a load of Bolloks. 90% of the clubs you mention don’t have the same ticket prices us Spurs fans pay. They don’t have anywhere near the infrastructure and money involved in their clubs. Top clubs win trophies, spurs are simply immune to any level of winning silverware. We get constantly ribbed and laughed at as a club, so no it really isn’t melodramatic. We are constantly coming up with incredible ways to keep the “Spursy “ tradition and this latest is pretty much Spurs all over. Getting taking the piss out of from a company you have just joined into a partnership. We are a laughing stock and our admin team really don’t help themselves either
Same company.I only buy Crown paint anyway so the jokes on them.
Well this is awkward!
Matt looks different. Injury took its toll on him.
Those posts were never approved or okayed by anyone high up the food chain at Dulux.
Even the most Gooner of Dulux exec wouldn't muck up a corporate partnership. Especially not 30 minutes after it went public. This was some low level social media editor that thought that they were hilarious. And is now going to be punished.
The joke is on me!
Agreed, but the stunt would never be attempted with any other club. It's an image problem the club has and that needs changing
A first short term step is to put our foot down with Dulux like we have. If we show that we kick up enough of a fuzz that will help. It looks petty but it is the easiest short term solution.
The rest has to be achieved on the field to change how people look at us. That will take longer.
Totally justified for us to be a laughing stock right now. We've earned it.
I hope the players and management see it and are embarrassed by it.

Well yeah. We would have had a naming rights partner if they did.
There is a reason why, in the biggest, most-watched league on planet earth only TWO football clubs in the entire League have Stadium naming rights partners that are not associated companies owned by the owner of the Club, they are fucking hard deals to get over the line, especially in a country where they aren't commonplace.
If it was so easy, why haven't Utd, the most whored out club on the planet got one? LFC too, both of these teams have secured deals for their training grounds.
Scoussser!!!!!!!I only buy Crown paint anyway so the jokes on them.
MAte that's proper over sensitive. We've been one of the best teams in Europe for about 4yrs. That turbocharged when we sold out Wembley and them moved into the best Football stadium in the world.
It's only this Mourinho dinocunt that's changed that dynamic.
There's also the fact that when NFL games get played at the Lane the name 'The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium' is mentioned across the world.
How much would Levy pay for that level of publicity?
still haven’t won anything mate. For all that huff and puff, that amazing Lucas Moura moment, at the end of the day, what have we got to show for it? Rival fans still rip the piss out of us because we won jack shit. If we had won the CL, then completely different story. Spurs are immune to winning trophies and that will 100% continue after the league cup final
Oh look a proper RB.
