Politician brutally fires shots at Tottenham in outrageous 'Spursy' speech

Tottenham have somehow been caught in the cross fire of Sweden's struggling economy with one politician labelling their struggles as 'Spursy'

Swedish politician Mikael Damberg has taken a bizarre shot at Tottenham when analysing his nations 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."
