TOTTENHAM FANS have united in hatred of a Twitter "photo of doom" that always spells bad news, as the club confirm the Arsenal game will be played at Wembley.
Spurs' latest announcement dashed hopes that the North London derby would be held at their new stadium because safety tests will not be completed in time.
Tottenham were expected to confirm this week when the new White Hart Lane is due to open amid reports the ground will not be fully finished this season.
Mauricio Pochettino's side were scheduled to move into the new ground in September but a catalogue of delays has led to Spurs spending their whole season at the national stadium.
The North London club have tentatively proposed several new moving in dates but each time has posted an update alongside the same photo that fans now know spells bad news.
Twitter user Football And The City tweeted: "The photo of doom. Even without reading it - it's going to say this game is being played at Wembley."
User "Dan" agreed with that post, writing: "NOT THAT PHOTO AGAIN", while Spursy Aaron posted: "Always the same photo for bad news."
One fan was already fed up of the photo back in August, writing: "Is it just me who's getting sick of seeing this picture?"
Another posted in September: "Oh here we go, the picture returns," while by January, a disheartened supporter posted: "The pic of doom. Not even gonna look."
Spurs' new stadium has also seen them mercilessly trolled for promising a cheese room and Champions League football but delivering Fernando Llorente and Wembley.
Spurs will be hoping that the clash against Crystal Palace on March 17 will be played at their new ground but if it isn't, fans can expect the "photo of doom" to make a reappearance.
The club's latest statement read: "We can today report that remedial works on the safety systems in the new stadium are near completion.
"And we shall then move forward to the final stages of testing the fire detection and alarm system and its integration with the other safety systems.
"The success of this testing is critical to our ability to obtain a safety certificate and open the stadium."
