Spurs the only team

Just to make this simple.

Spurs are the only team referred to more as their nickname that shouldn't be their nickname.

Wolves for Wolverhampton Wanderers is the expected nickname.

David Hotspur would not be referred to as Spurs. He would be Dave Hotspur.

But Davey Hotspur is a person. A team is plural, so an S is added on the end of Spur to make Spurs. You murnop.

Oh, and Pompey is another example which means you're blarn.

It's just a nick name, like black cats or mag scum

The cracker jack thinks because the word Spurs doesn't feature in Tottenham Hotspur (the missing s on the end seems to be melting his brain) it's not just shortening their name (mind he changed tact on this as originally he thought they were just called 'Tottenham').

He also thinks commentators don't call them Tottenham (they do) and no other team is the same in terms of nicknames being used (they do, Pompey for example).

He's basically still drinking terps through his lugs.

About 20 years ago a newspaper printed a story on the Malaysian Betting Syndicates and they listed the names by which the teams were referred to, so Newcastle was Noregcastle etc and most were just pinguin versions of their name, Tottenham was called Yidchi though.

So Smithy can't be called Neil Smith after all.
I'd have made a right fool of myself if I hadn't read this thread.

I think he’d have to be called Smith Neil for Smithy to make sense (?) in this version of (one person’s imagined) reality. But what the fuck do I know? Think they’re allowed to use their ”first” name but not their “second”.

Nar hang on, I’ve got it now. He can be called anything he wants, that’s it. Bit long for a nickname though ioho.
I’m just typing random shit now like.

Turps is an anagram of Spurt which is the only nickname which isn’t meths of a Spanish budgie.
 
But, but, Pompey is the nickname of the place that the club have taken on, reasonably so. Hotspur is not a place but Tottenham is. So they are wrongly using their second name which is not a place but the nickname if a gadgie? Have I got it right now? ( I think this convoluted excuse is better than anything the OP has come up with so far - still makes zero sense).

Pompey? You mean Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus whose nick-name was Pompey and a great friend of Davos Hotspur?
