  • Fun, funny, and great personalities talking Spurs

    I’ve listened to TFC for a few years now, and I should’ve left a great review years back. Flag, Ricky, Big Jon, and the crew are great at analysis and busting each other’s b@lls. You’ll feel like you’re chatting with your mates about the team that tortures us all. COYS.

  • Sound

    I love this show, love Jon…but the most recent episode I couldn’t listen too in my car as the sound was quite bad. I turned it up to hear them and then the adverts would come in and nearly blow my ear drums.

    Not a criticism just feedback on this one as I genuinely really like Jon and his guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S16E30 - A Period of Great Satisfaction
Q: What is it that we're looking for in a number nine?
The panel considers whether De Zerbi needs a traditional striker, a player who can hold up the ball, or someone who links play. They lean toward Solanke as the natural number nine while discussing other options and how attacking partnerships could help him.
S16E30 - A Period of Great Satisfaction
Q: Is there a possible timeline where De Zerbi does a brilliant job, gets us back into the Champions League places towards the end of next season, then has his inevitable breakdown, meltdown?
The panel rejects the proposed scenario and says it would rather give De Zerbi time, build the squad and move on from the idea of Harry Kane returning.
S16E28 - Born in the Rain
Q: How do you feel about Palace coming up? Are you confident?
Alec admits he is too confident, while the hosts expect Tottenham to dominate possession and create chances. They also raise concern about whether the team can be clinical in front of goal.
S16E28 - Born in the Rain
Q: Flav, are you still friends with that annoying little twat, Rory Jennings, after his arrogant pre-match BS and his pathetic whining mess after when he stated about how much he hates Tottenham, the club, stadium players and fans?
Flav says Rory behaves differently on and off camera and that they do not talk about football socially. Alec describes replaying Rory's prediction that Tottenham could not beat Chelsea, and the hosts say the loss clearly upset him.
THE LAB - Why De Zerbi’s Tottenham Is Starting to Click
Q: What is the center forward's role under De Zerbi?
Patel says the striker must link play but also dominate the box and finish chances, particularly as Tottenham's wide attackers create cutbacks. He believes Spurs need a forward who can convert possession and territory into goals.
