Dulux trolls Tottenham minutes after sealing deal with them

Dulux brutally trolls Tottenham Hotspur coming just minutes after sealing a deal with them, and their fanbase aren’t pleased.

The north London Premier League club took to Twitter to proudly reveal that the British paint company has become their official supplier, only for Dulux’s official Twitter account to make fun of their lack of trophies.

In a now-deleted tweet, Dulux responded to a fan’s joke about storing paint cans in the club’s trophy room because Spurs ‘don’t seem to put anything else in there’.

Soon after mocking their new commercial partners, Dulux quickly deleted the offending tweets, seeing their relationship with Spurs get off to the worst possible start. 

Another fan joined in by suggesting to ‘paint the dusty trophy cabinet’, which Dulux once again replied to by saying: ‘Don’t be silly, surfaces should be dust free before painting.’ 

One user began to get in on the joke with another saying if the Dulux’s iconic Old English Sheepdog mascot could play at centre back, which Dulux replied: ‘He might do a better job [than some of the defenders].’

Dulux are trending on Twitter however, so it’s fair to say they have got everyone talking about them, though of course not for the right reasons.

Then again Tottenham won’t feel too disheartened by this, after all, they went and signed Matt Doherty who ended up deleting his old tweets on how he ‘loved Arsenal forever’. Easily forgiven though fans never forget and will continue to rip into them.

SPURS STATEMENT:

We are delighted to announce Dulux, the nation’s number one paint brand, as our first ever Official Paint Supplier.

The relationship will see us benefit from the unrivalled expertise in paint and colour that Dulux provides.

As part of the launch, the world-famous Dulux dog was given a behind-the-scenes tour of the Club’s Stadium and Training Centre – tune in to N17 Live when we take on Southampton on Wednesday 21 April for an exclusive video!

Working together, Dulux colour experts have identified paint colour matches for our iconic Club colours – this innovative colour matching technology will be used to bring spaces throughout Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Lilywhite House and the Training Centre to life in Club colours.

The Dulux Trade range of high quality paints is being used exclusively by the Club, with hard wearing Dulux Trade Scuffshield and water-based paints like Dulux Trade Diamond Eggshell and Dulux Trade Quick Dry Satinwood providing a formidable defence against wear and tear.

Nuno Pena, AkzoNobel Marketing Director for UK & Ireland, commented: “Our relationship with Tottenham Hotspur is a perfect synergy of two iconic British brands.

“Spurs are one of the best-known football teams in the Premier League and in Europe, while at Dulux we remain the nation’s number one paint brand.

“Our extensive research and commitment to new product development means we can provide Tottenham Hotspur with high performance products that will tackle the most challenging of requirements, while also meeting the most stringent of environmental standards.

“These products will be combined with colour palettes that our colour experts have curated to focus on enhancing better health and wellbeing outcomes for staff, visitors, players and the coaching team.

“Together, we are joined by a shared passion for colour. Spurs fans will know only too well the powerful impact putting on their white and blue scarves and shirts has on a matchday, and as a business we’re committed to using colour to transform lives.

“We know it’s the small details that make the difference and give you the competitive edge – in sport and in decorating – and we’re looking forward to expanding on our firm foundations to explore this power of colour together, in both the stadium and in people’s homes, in the years to come.”

Jon Babbs, Stadium Director at Tottenham Hotspur, added: “We are delighted to welcome Dulux as our Official Paint Supplier. It is important that we have the best products available as we strive to maintain excellence at our Stadium and Training Centre facilities.”

@benjarman__: Dulux woke up feeling dangerous today

@TruckerTimmy75: Can’t wait until Spurs lift the Johnstone’s paint trophy in two seasons time, just to show Dulux what they could’ve had.

@StephenPKelly: Getting mugged off by the Dulux dog half an hour after announcing him as our new sponsor is going to go down in history as a quintessentially Spurs moment

@leesmith81: Dunno what’s more embarrassing the fact we’ve even done this or the fact that dulux publicly mugs us in that very announcement tweet. Just about sums us up. We have become banter fc and a joke now.

@LordGabi5: Shoutout to the dulux admin. Definitely an arsenal fan who’s sacrificed his job just to banter spurs. Legend in my book

@ParkLaneEnder: Must have been the bloke’s last day at work. Scorched earth policy.

@Themightyhutch: I’d say that the Dulux have had a pretty successful marketing morning actually seeing as we’re all talking about it. I might even have some for dinner.

@AFCJake2: this is pure class from dulux. I will now be painting my entire house with @duluxuk

@thfctaylor: You won, Dulux. Enjoy the money, I hope it makes you happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life, Dulux. You ruined my morning completely so you could have the money and I hope now you can spend it on lessons in grace and decorum.
