Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium has got people talking

The club's decision to leave White Hart Lane for a new larger stadium nearby was widely welcomed by supporters due to a higher capacity and the opportunity for increased match day revenue. The club spent last season playing their football at Wembley Stadium, reaching the Champions League round of 16 and finishing third in the Premier League despite fears among many fans over their perceived 'Wembley curse'. While the new stadium unfortunately won't be ready in time for the start of the 2018/19 season, it is expected to be ready to host Liverpool on September 15. New photographs released by the club show that the stadium is getting there, slowly but surely. However, the aerial images posted online provoked a typically bizarre response from social media users, many of whom simply couldn't resist comparing it to a toilet. https://twitter.com/MrDtAFC/status/1020677201048539136 https://twitter.com/CallumWright__/status/1020677467332325378 https://twitter.com/SpursFunnies/status/1020721704975446016 https://twitter.com/cfc_lj/status/1020719269246533635 https://twitter.com/YoWoodyinho/status/1020719160698056704 https://twitter.com/abokorgunners/status/1020718752189616128 https://twitter.com/AwayDays_/status/1020716398983745537 https://twitter.com/Perpetually_A/status/1020715177124278273 https://twitter.com/LIONinPURPLE/status/1020714140074225664
