The Premier League has sparked fresh anger among Tottenham Hotspur supporters after sharing a graphic incorrectly placing Spurs at the bottom of the 2026/27 table.

The league refreshed the standings following their annual general meeting, rearranging all 20 clubs in alphabetical order ahead of the new campaign.

However, despite listing the club as “Spurs” in the graphic, the Premier League positioned them below Sunderland, ignoring basic alphabetical logic.

The letter “P” comes before “U” in the alphabet, meaning “Spurs” should appear above “Sunderland” in any correctly ordered list.

West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers were relegated last season, which would place Tottenham in 20th position under their full name, but the club is listed under their nickname.

Fans were quick to react on X, with one user writing: “If you’re going to call us Spurs it’s definitely before Sunderland alphabetically.”

Another supporter added: “Firstly, our proper name is Tottenham, not Spurs. And secondly, if you’re going to call us Spurs, why are #THFC below Sunderland when P comes before U in the alphabet.”

A third fan stated: “I hate the fact they call us Spurs but alphabetically ‘Spurs’ is not 20th in the league.”

The confusion spread beyond the Spurs fanbase, with a Manchester United supporter account noting: “They put Spurs last even though they shouldn’t be alphabetically.”

Other fans questioned why Tottenham was the only club listed under a nickname, with one asking: “Why are we the only team listed as our nickname? And if they’re using our nickname why is Sunderland above us??”

Some supporters responded with sarcasm, with one writing: “Does ‘u’ come before ‘p’ now in the alphabet?” while another quipped: “Great alphabet usage here…..”

The club has previously requested to be referred to as either “Spurs” or “Tottenham Hotspur,” and not simply “Tottenham,” making the Premier League’s choice of abbreviation particularly puzzling.

Notably, Nottingham Forest are listed under their full name just two places above in the same graphic, undermining any argument that space constraints forced the shortened version.

The error was not limited to a single post, as the Premier League website also lists the club as “Spurs” and places them in the same incorrect position.

The social media graphic had accumulated over six million views on X within 24 hours, amplifying the backlash considerably.

This is not the first time Spurs fans have taken issue with the Premier League on social media, having previously defended goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after a post mocking him was later deleted, with football.london understanding the club contacted the Premier League at various levels regarding that incident.
