That’s the way everyone outside of England are pronounce TOTTEN-HAM. It’s weird for me to say TOTNUM.
To make it even more accurate, please don't pronounce the second 'T' in Totnum - it's there, but it's kind of silent.
It is three syllables, just the middle one is soft and fast : )

So much so that you almost can't hear it

TOT-n-UM
...to be honest, I don't mind what pronunciation* is used, Americans will pronounce it differently from Brits, and thass jus fine ...
(after all, Ossie, Chas AND Dave made quite the career out of how 'Tottingham' was pronounced..!)

It's the lack of knowledge, and pure blind arrogant refusal of this cunt to accept the fact that Spurs are in the Premieeerer League... and then the aggressive stance he took when he realised how wrong he was!

Ignorant, rude prick!


* Just don't get me started on the whole "Beigel" vs. "Bagel" debate ...'cos I swear, there will be blood!

Yeah but we don't sing 'We are Tottenham' like that. It's quite clearly a quad-syllabic variation of 'We are Sailing' sang at 200mph in a vaguely aggressive way that any person of sound mind can appreciate for its non-melismatic lyrical fluency . Any more syllables than that and folk need retuning.

...yes, but it's fun to teach someone how to mispronounce To'n'm.

Wait… some people say “baggle”? To me it’s always been “baygel” (hard G). It’s how Jewish friends pronounce it too.

What’s this other pronunciation, pray tell?

BUY-gel... (very Jewish!)
or BY-gel...
or BYE-gel

whichever way you spell it... you never pronounce it BAY-GEL!

I have no idea what I've just seen! The internet has a lot to answer for, giving idiots like this a platform.
And I didn't like how he turned into an aggressive idiot, when it was pointed out that he was pronouncing Tottenham incorrectly. Moron!
sad take it easy GIF by Lea Linin
He can literally buy a gun in Asda in like three years....😬😳
 
Clearly an arrogant, ignorant and nasty little shit.

Scary part is the young girls not seeing the signs and giggling thinking he's cute.
pretty sure they were laughing at him, not with him.
