  • Best Spurs Pod

    Jack is sharp, funny, punchy, heartfelt, (and tries his best to keep his Tottenham bias in check), to deliver what is in my opinion, far and away the most enjoyable and entertaining Spurs podcast out there. As an American living in New York and Los Angeles, the weekly listen to RTR makes me feel closer to North London 🫶🏼

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside Hotspur Way: De Zerbi's Impact, New Signings & Club Culture (feat. Ben Haines)
Q: What was the mood around the club after a tough run of form last season?
The hosts describe a period of strain but also a commitment to maintaining neutrality and asking fans' questions while letting the manager articulate a forward path, which helped keep the club focused on improvement and the next steps.
Ben Haines Q and A: Transfer Leaks, Sprinklers & Which Player Smells Best
Q: What is the general mood heading into the season and who has stood out behind the scenes recently?
The mood is upbeat and positive, with attention on the team's preparation, coaching staff, and the behind-the-scenes culture; Fabian Ott and Andres Georgeson are highlighted as standout trainers/coaches with a strong focus on team culture and preparation.
De Zerbi’s "Bomba" Tease, Kulusevski Returns & Hard Truths at Hotspur Way (feat. Flav)
Q: Would you take Spurs being Premier League champions in 27-28 if it meant Arsenal won the quadruple the season after?
No, I wouldn't, because that would be an unbearable scenario and I'd rather Spurs win on their own terms without causing Arsenal to experience a triple crown in the same cycle.
Tottenham's 40% Sponsorship Valuation Drop | Unpacking The Sponsor's 2026 Premier League Fair Market Value Index with Sean Connell
Q: Okay. Is this front-of-shirt sponsorship the main driver, and how does that compare to the sleeve deal?
Sean explains the front-of-shirt sponsorship is dominant in value while the sleeve is slightly lower, and so the overall sponsorship picture is driven by ongoing brand exposure rather than a single event.
Spurs Survive & The Rebuild Begins | De Zerbi's South Stand Moment, Vinai Venkatesham's Interview & Transfers (Q&A)
Q: What would count as a tangible sign of a real reset in recruitment and culture?
A clear shift in player acquisition strategy toward balance between high-potential youngsters and seasoned pros, with less reliance on name-brand signings and more emphasis on cohesion and long-term planning.
