Have your say: What does it mean to be 'Spursy'?
- Published
Some football fans don't think Tottenham Hotspur are very good - including, strangely, one politician from Sweden.
Mikael Damberg is a Swedish member of parliament, who used to be in the government but is now a part of the opposition.
He's got lots of people talking by describing Sweden as being "Spursy" in a debate.
For the politician, this means "when you have opportunities but get no results", saying "Sweden can't perform like Tottenham."
But we want to know what you think it means to be 'Spursy'. Is it a bad thing, or is the nickname unfair?
Let us know in the comments below.
This man - Mikael Damberg - doesn't think being 'Spursy' is a good thing
Mr Damberg's made the comparison in Sweden's parliament as part of criticising the government.
He said that even though Spurs have lots of talent, fans, and money, "they have squandered their opportunities".
The politician said that "the government risks making Sweden 'Spursy'" by not making the most of what they have.
New Spurs boss Igor Tudor has said that there's "no time for excuses" with the club's current position "unacceptable"
But is it fair to describe Tottenham Hotspur in this way?
Last year, Spurs won the Europa League, but they haven't been on a good run of form recently.
Their manager Thomas Frank was sacked by the club after just eight months, and at sixteenth place in the Premier League, they risk ending up in the relegation zone.
Let us know your thoughts in the comments - what does being 'Spursy' mean to you?
