Tottenham vs Spurs

Which should they be called?

I think more people call them "Spurs". Are they the only football club that are being referred to by their nickname more often than by their official name?

Of course it's a pointless thread, I just find it annoying everyone are calling them "Spurs".

This is what happens when we wrap up all our signing too soon.

Finding fault with this on a deadline day Laughing

I'm used to calling them "Tottenham" so I'll keep up with this name.

Aren't they already called both? So why's a choice necessary?

I type Spurs and say Tottenham IRL like most of the people I know do.

Their club names is Tottenham Hotspur - Spurs comes from "spur".

Not much different from calling Man United "United" and Man City "City", really.

"Spurs" is a whole lot easier to type than "Tottenham".

I'm just a lazy bastard tbf.

Spurs is technically their name, so it doesn't make a difference. It's part of their name. Everyone I know IRL refers to them as 'Spurs'.

And like Mclewis too, i cba to type Tott...
