Politician brutally fires shots at Tottenham as he launches outrageous ‘Spursy’ speech

Tottenham have somehow been caught in the crossfire of Sweden’s struggling economy, with one politician labelling their struggles as ‘Spursy’ while giving an official speech in parliament

Swedish politician Mikael Damberg has taken a bizarre shot at Tottenham when analysing his nation’s economic struggles.

During what looks to be an official speech in parliament, Damberg used the Lilywhites as an interesting but seemingly accurate analogy of how Sweden could go wrong.

When addressing those in the room regarding Sweden’s problems, his comments translates to English as: “I naturally think of Tottenham Hotspur, also known as Spurs, it is one of England’s most distinguished and rich clubs with an enormous stadium, dedicated and large supporter base – everything to be considered a ‘top team’.

“Despite this, Tottenham find themselves in crisis. They are fighting at the bottom of the table, just a few points above the relegation zone. Not because they lack resources or benefits, but because they have squandered opportunities.

“Due to making wrong decisions, general jerkiness and thinking in the short-term, they have lost their direction and stability.

“The club have been given the name ‘Spursy’, [which is] when you have opportunities but get no results. Madame Speaker that is precisely how the Minister of Finance is handling the Swedish economy.

“Sweden has the power, ability and resources. We have the companies, workforce and innovation capabilities. Conditions exits for the Swedish economy to prosper.”

He goes on to state: “The government risks making Sweden ‘Spursy’. That won’t do. Sweden cannot perform like Tottenham.”

Though it has been put rather brutally, Damberg is not far off in his assessment of the club, with continuous bad decisions putting them in a perilous position.

Igor Tudor has been brought in as interim coach with the sole aim of getting Tottenham out of this situation and away from the relegation zone, after Thomas Frank managed just two wins from his last 17 Premier League games.

Attempting to get out of this predicament starts this Sunday afternoon with the very challenging task of a north London derby against top-of-the-table Arsenal.

During his first interview in charge, Tudor briefly referenced that clash while also mentioning the problems the already faces and his potential solution.

“The situation is not easy, because, as you know better than me, we have a lot of injured players, so we need first to find the best system, the suit for the players that are available in this moment.

“So, a very particular moment, maybe this can sound strange, but I believe that the thing that we need to be focused on is the training. So, the training from today, that’s the key, because, as I always like to say, Sunday and the game is a consequence of the training.”

Two players unable to feature are Sweden internationals Lucas Bergvall and Dejan Kulusevski. Based on that, the duo are likely to be mentioned when Damberg’s comments are brought up.
