Tottenham Hotspur a laughing stock? You bet

SpursmugSo David Bentley, the Tottenham winger, has called his own team a laughing stock and who can blame him. It seems everyone and their dog is taking their chance to have a bit of fun at Spurs' expense.

And if you're looking for jokes about Tottenham there's plenty to choose from. You could go for the "Tesco are releasing new Oxo cubes in Spurs colours. Customers are told to look out for laughing stocks".

If that doesn't work for you there is always: "Did you hear about the problems on the underground today? They were caused due to a points failure in North London."Spurssign

We've included a few more Tottenham funnies for your enjoyment, but we want you to tell us the best gags you've heard. And yes, we all know the one about the triangle, so you can keep that one to yourselves.

What we're after is some good, clean fun. We'll publish the best of them. The floor is yours ...

After letting in yet another goal against inferior opposition last saturday, Paul Robinson just put his head in his hands...and missed.

What's the difference between a cod fisherman and Paul Robinson? Fewer things to pick out of the net.

Christmas is coming and Richard Branson asked his son what he wanted; His son replied "a Cowboy Outfit" (you can fill in the rest).

Steve; life-long Spurs fan.

The last Spurs games was on live in Saudi Arabia on the Showtime channel. Due to the number of games being shown on the dedicated sports channels, the Spurs game was put on the ShowComedy channel - how ironic!!

Whats everyone talking about - Spurs are the strongest team in the league at the moment.............
..........they're holding everyone else up.

Apparently the entire Tottenham squad have been busy honing their skills playing Championship Manager.
Sadly it seems Juande misunderstood and thinks they want to play for a Championship manager.

Tottenham's application for a new ground has been rejected by the Mayor - he claims he has enough circuses in the city already

After receiving an award for the state of Tottenham's pitch the groundsman has revealed his secret.

Apparently £70 million worth of manure is put on it every week!

According to Police reports Tottenham High Road has become a traffic accident hotspot. A spokesman has blamed it on Ramos, Commolli and Levy speeding up and down in a desperate bid to gain 3 points.

Dear Anon, vis-a-vis your query about the triangle joke. Just take your joke one point further and you'll have it.

Posted by: TheGame Blog | 10 Oct 2008 10:47:28

It's a real shame what has happened to Tottenham but you have to blame the board. All it requires is a strong board to forget the hype and stick with the manager for at least a couple of years.

They should have done that with Martin Jol and should definitely stick with Juande if only for the amount of money they're paying him.

He is a proven and very tactically aware European coach. Give him time to mould his team and allow him to make his own signings.

Hi Dave,

I'm sure you can see the funny side??
