I think I get what @glospur means. Am I right in thinking your objection is to the word 'the' glospur?Why?
Although it's used, in that article when using it as the direct noun being referred to, 'the Spurs' sounds off. But if, say, I said to a friend, 'I'm going down the Spurs on Saturday' that wouldn't sound odd.
Usually when describing the club directly, one would say 'Spurs are...' or 'Spurs have...', rather than 'THE Spurs are...' or 'THE Spurs have...'. Not wrong, just sounds odd.
