  • You betrayed us. You go on holiday and suddenly the glorious hater who calls out the happy clappers is gone.

    You sold us out for authentic anti pasta and fancy, soggy cake. This is terrible. It enrages me. I never want to listen again.

    Great ep, 5/5, no notes.

  • New generation spurs fan?

    Fella Knows his stuff. Get the impression he probably likes an argument and probably feels he wins most of them. Good insight and genuinely can enjoy the podcast but has a tendency to justify his opinions vs others rather than dive a little deeper into why we are in this sorrowful period. Give him 5 years and he could be one of the best out there. Bit like spurs. But then this is spurs….

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Harry Kane's New Bayern Deal, Mikey Moore's Loan, Mathys Tel's Potential & Spurs' New Era
Q: Have you managed to watch much of Mikey Moore out there? What have you felt about his performances?
Stafford-Bloor says Moore's loan has not gone brilliantly, but criticism that it is a disaster is premature. Moore needs to improve his physical conditioning, ball protection, and decision-making while adapting to a demanding league.
Harry Kane's New Bayern Deal, Mikey Moore's Loan, Mathys Tel's Potential & Spurs' New Era
Q: How good is Harry Kane these days? Is this the best version of him?
Stafford-Bloor says Kane remains essentially the same player, but Bayern's stronger squad and varied use of him bring more of his abilities into view. He adds that Kane has been highly effective against major opponents and has maintained excellent fitness.
A Bump In The Road At Leeds, Backing Mathys Tel & Vinai's Tottenham Vision (feat. Billie T)
Q: Do you feel that it's the same with Vinai and the Lewis family in charge versus if Daniel Levy was still in charge of the club?
Billie T says the recent spending and delivery of the manager's preferred transfer targets suggest a greater willingness to invest ambitiously, though he says future transfer windows will prove whether that commitment continues.
A Bump In The Road At Leeds, Backing Mathys Tel & Vinai's Tottenham Vision (feat. Billie T)
Q: What happened against Leeds, and is this just what happens when a team is a work in progress?
Billie T describes an inconsistent performance, with Tottenham improving in the first half but losing control after the break. He cites the high standard of the Premier League, questionable personnel choices, and Leeds' organization as factors, while viewing the defeat as a setback rather than a reason to abandon the project.
Harry Kane Wins The Ballon d'Or! | Tottenham's New Midfield & Chelsea Afterglow (feat. Adam Nathan)
Q: Would we have won at the Bridge with Romero?
Nathan says Romero's reputation was damaged by poor performances but wonders whether he would have had a chance to rebuild his image if he had been available to play.
