The suggestion that the board at Spurs have no control over the club took another boost when a press day saw the club routinely derided by a Northern Irish comedian, Vittorio Angelon. The Saracens’ primary home ground is StoneX Stadium (formerly Allianz Park) in Hendon, North London, where they have played since 2012. This is a dedicated rugby venue with a capacity of around 10,500.
However, Saracens have a long-term partnership with Tottenham Hotspur to host their annual marquee fixture called “The Showdown” at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This event, which started in 2022, allows them to play in a much larger venue (with a capacity of over 62,000) for bigger crowds and atmosphere.
Quite how funny Tottenham fans found this guy’s work is predictable stuff, with responses on X being less than amused.
The context of this type of thing is key. When you’re winning, things don’t tend to hurt so much. Spurs are currently just 5 points clear of the relegation zone (5 points above 18th-placed West Ham). Leeds United sit 15th with 30 points, and Nottingham Forest are 17th with 27 points, so the gap to safety is narrow but not dire yet, with 12 games remaining in the season.
Tottenham remain under significant relegation threat due to poor recent form. They have won only 2 of their last 17 Premier League games.
In the 2026 calendar year, they’ve picked up very few points (some reports note just 4 points from 8 games, winless in that stretch). This led to manager Thomas Frank being sacked on February 11, 2026, after a 2-1 home loss to Newcastle United. Igor Tudor has taken over as the new manager (or interim), tasked with turning things around.
Betting odds have them at around 5/1 for relegation recently, and media describe the threat as “real” given the slide from expected top-half contention (they’ve performed better in Europe but struggled domestically).
They are not in immediate danger of dropping (still above the zone with a buffer), but the form slump, managerial change, and tight points margins mean they are uncomfortably close and in a relegation scrap.
A few more poor results could drag them right into the bottom three battle—especially with tough upcoming fixtures like against Arsenal.
