A T-shirt that was listed on Tottenham's online club shop is no longer available, hours after it was mocked by rival fans online.

Spurs are currently in 16th place in the Premier League, and sit just one point above the relegation zone.

They are statistically the worst team in the division over the last 10 games, and have lost all of their most recent five matches.

A change of manager from Thomas Frank to interim Igor Tudor has made little difference thus far, with Tudor claiming that his squad is lacking 'when we attack, in the middle ... and behind'. He also said they lack 'brain'.

Thousands of Spurs fans left the ground early during Tuesday's 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace, with relegation rivals West Ham's 1-0 victory over Fulham on Wednesday - which reduced Spurs' gap over the drop zone to that single point - underlining the scale of the mess that the north London club currently find themselves in.

As with any team that are fighting against relegation in their division, various smaller issues at the club can become amplified - even going as far as what is being sold in the club shop.

One of the items that has been on offer since the beginning of the season is a Nike-branded T-shirt that has the word 'Spursy' emblazoned in the middle of it.

The phrase has long been used by rival supporters to mock Spurs over their lack of success in the 21st century, with the club making light of the phrase by putting it on a shirt after they won the Europa League title last season.

The T-shirt, worth £30, was even worn by James Maddison during the club's pre-season tour of Hong Kong and South Korea.

But towards the end of the 2025/26 season, it has now clearly lost its appeal among the club's fans - with some calling on it to be taken down.

One wrote: "Can you believe this?! We are actually selling this!"

A second said: "It's the kind of thing you'd see in Arsenal's shop."

While a third told the Daily Mail: "Imagine Arsenal making a shirt that had 'bottlers' on it."

Meanwhile, the solitary online review of the shirt, dated January 18, read: "Good quality top, sums up our current manager and form."

On Saturday afternoon, the listing was taken down from the club's official store, with the previously accessible URL returning a 404 error.

SPORTbible have contacted Tottenham Hotspur for comment.
