Tottenham rinsed by Just Stop Oil! Controversial protest group make unexpected Spurs trophy jibe

The organisation — whose activists have disrupted a number of Premier League matches in recent seasons using actions such as tying themselves to goalposts — jumped into a surprise attack on Spurs after a snipe from Tottenham-supporting X user @JohnHayto about their posts regarding matching Earth Day donations.

The protest group kept their response short, snappy and fierce, reacting to a meme of a man holding up a '0' sign with the line: 'Trophies won by Spurs in the last decade'. Ouch.

For a group focused on spreading their message about the climate crisis in as loud and as controversial a way as possible, viral moments like these are always useful. Spurs haven't risen to the bait so far, but any more ribbing about their trophy haul and maybe they'll be forced to reply.

Just Stop Oil have been able to disrupt numerous professional games partly due to donations from the public. One man who accidentally funded those operations is Forest Green owner (and Ecotricity founder) Dale Vince, who donated £10,000 to the group without realising they were planning on disrupting Premier League matches.

Outside of the social media team, it's unlikely anyone at Spurs will be worried about this online ribbing; they've got a seriously difficult Premier League run-in to focus on. With fifth spot highly unlikely to guarantee Champions League qualification, they'll need a strong finish to the campaign.
