Spursy

To capitulate for no apparent reason like Tottenham Holtspur FC in the modern day Premier League seasons between 2015 and 2019. The team was flying high and looked to achieve some notable feat but then before they cross the finish line they start losing for no apparent reason.

Then suddenly it was over and they lost. It was so spursy.

Spursy

To consistently and inevitably fail to live up to expectations. To bottle it.

My team only got to the last 16 -- they're a bit spursy.

Spursy

Tottenham's consistency fail to live up to expectations, drop points in crucial games that should have been won, and miss stunningly simple chances right in front of goal.

ex. Spurs fans are feeling something new; JOY! Happiness! They are winning, nothing could go wrong... JOINK! And the opposition have equalized, OH! And there's another, this is devastating for the fans. THAT'S SO SPURSY!

Spursy

To consistently and inevitably fail to live up to expectations. Involves visions of grandeur/being immensely deluded only to bottle it again and again and again whilst pretending not to care.

"Hey, did you see Spurs get knocked out of Europe by the 8th best team in Belgium last night?"

"Haha, yeah. That was so Spursy."

Spursy

To have visions of grandeur / to be immensely deluded only to mess it all up again and again and again whilst pretending not to care.

With every passing year Spurs and their pitiful fans become more and more Spursy.
