Just FYI, "Tottenham Spurs" doesn't make much sense as that's not the name of the team, it's "Tottenham Hotspur." "Spurs" is just a nickname they go by.

Y'all do an awesome job though. Also FYI.

Thanks for the heads up on the name. I've edited the various mirrors with the proper term.

Thanks also for the compliment! :) It's good to know we're doing things right. I've passed it along to the rest of the team.
