TOTTENHAM have been ridiculed for cashing in on their relegation crisis — by flogging £30 T-shirts with “Spursy” on in the club shop.
Fans are already desolate after enduring the North London since 1975 and seeing them sink to 16th in the Premier League.

They claim owners are rubbing salt into the wound by selling the T-shirts because “Spursy” is used as an insult by rival fans to describe a team that spurns success.
The T-shirts were originally intended to jokily reclaim the label as now meaning winners, after the club’s triumph over Manchester United last May — and midfielder even wore one.
But their abysmal form this season — including to — means the joke has backfired.
Diehard supporter Dave Keys, 38, said: “That T-shirt’s self-sabotage.
“I’m fuming.
“It’s the kind of thing you’d see in shop.”
Garth Beattie, 70, from , added: “It makes fun of the supporters, club and team and that’s not right.”
Swedish MP Mikael Damberg used the insult last month, saying: “The government risks making ‘Spursy’.
“That won’t do.
“Sweden cannot perform like Tottenham.”
