Domino’s billboard mocks Spurs’ trophy drought before Man Utd final

DOMINO'S PIZZA has unveiled a live billboard outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium cheekily highlighting the club's prolonged silverware drought.

Tottenham will face Manchester United in the Europa League final tonight.

They go into the match in desparate need of a win having endured a terrible season which could see them finish as low as 17th in the Premier League table.

To showcase just how long it’s been since the Lilywhites have won a trophy, Domino's has unveiled a digital billboard outside their home ground.

It displays a huge figure playfully showing the number of pizzas delivered in the UK and Ireland since 2008 - the club’s last trophy win.

It totals well over a billion pizzas (more than 1,569,226,205) – enough pizza to cover the stadium 25,873 times.

The billboard was unveiled as today marks 17 years, two months and twenty-four days - or 6,279 days - since they last lifted a major prize.

Tottenham's last trophy came following a 2-1 win over Chelsea in the 2008 League Cup final.

A spokesperson for Domino’s said: "We’re not taking sides, but if Spurs deliver in Bilbao, we’ll happily reset the counter to zero.

“We always deliver– now it’s their turn to do the same in the final.

“And of course, all eyes are on Ange… no pressure, mate."

The nearest Tottenham have come to winning a major trophy in recent years was the 2021 League Cup final - when they lost out to Manchester City.

And they’ll be doubly hoping for success tonight, as a trophy in the cabinet would allow them to justifiably claim they’ve had a ‘better’ season than rivals Arsenal.

The Gunners fought until the late stages of the Premier League title race as well as the Champions League, before being eliminated in the semi-finals by Paris Saint Germain earlier this month.

But Mikel Arteta’s side will end the season with nothing – even when they finish runners-up in the league, compared to Tottenham's bottom-half place.

To make matters worse, former talisman Harry Kane – Spurs’ most successful striker of the modern era – just picked up his first major team trophy as a player.

He was part of the Bayern Munich side which recently clinched the Bundesliga title, crowning them champions of Germany for the 34th time.
