Life long Spurs fan and season ticket holder. Sucked in by Gazza and Lineker and been on the rollercoaster ever since!
He’s somehow managed to get the balance of looking like we’re going to concede every time someone attacks us and never looking like scoring ourselves

I fear that Tottenham are basically as bad right now as they were in January/February, but with less mitigation, less credit in the bank for the manager, and without the sense of shared purpose provided by the Europa League campaign.

Really wanted to like you Thomas, really wanted you to be given a chance but it’s becoming so blindingly obvious that you’re completely out of your depth. No shots at home against Fulham in 45 mins 🤯

It’s mad that there’s so many positives to take from that despite conceding 5 goals! 2.06 XG away in Paris!

We all asked for us just to show something we can get behind. I think we did that first half. Really unlucky not to go in ahead

Regardless what it is quite looking forward to having Gray (Franks Mason) Bergvall and Sarr all starting

What do we reckon that lineup is then? Gray alongside Bentancur in the pivot with Bergvall 10 and Richi/RKM left?

Everton showing more attacking intent at OT with 10 men than we’ve seen all season

Frank is overly cautious, and it's annoying. He has to change it. I think we both want the same thing from him -- but I expected this to be a very underwhelming season, followed by a better one, and I'm still expecting that

It's been 12 games, he's had one transfer window, and multiple injuries to key players. I honestly think it's way too early for judgment. I agree that it's poor to watch, very disappointing how feeble we were against arch rivals, but Iraola lost 9 of his first Prem games, and is now a good coach

Keep coming back to this pod and today was the antithesis of what I think of as ‘the Tottenham way’
New episode out now
This week we discuss "the Tottenham Way". What is the Tottenham Way? What does it mean to us? Should we always play it that way? Does it ever hamper us? And do other clubs have a "way"?
Get it in your ears 👇

Going from Ange to Frank was ridiculous. Ange may not have been the right fit (personally I think he was) but you can’t go for the polar opposite. Ange’s attacking philosophy without his completely gung ho nature would’ve been ideal - who’s that manager though?

Emotions are high after that. I get it. Don’t think TF is the man to take us forward but equally think it’s pretty pointless to get rid. Our trouble is we flit from one style of manager to another. We need an identity and that comes from the very top. We need to back that identity and build on it

Eze was always scoring today. In no way did I think it would be a hat trick. Set piece FC didn’t even need to score a set piece… At least that myth of Frank making us harder to beat can die a death. Abysmal

Sorry Thomas but that was absolutely abysmal. Please never set up like we’re competition winners ever again. First Chelsea, then that. You’re losing plenty of goodwill my friend!

Turns out I was completely wrong. This is absolutely awful
Seems very split reactions on here to that starting line up. Personally I’m fairly happy with it. Just hoping we play with some passion and get something from this. Can worry about better free flowing performances outside of this game! Come on you Spurs!

Mad that Kane took free kick after free kick and did chuff all from any of them while Sonny was right there

Simplest solution to stop them winning the league is us winning the league. We can go a long way towards that tomorrow by beating them at their place.

Right Spurs. Up to us to stop them going 7 clear of City then. No big deal

I'm in it. No matter what the football has been like, living up north from when I went to uni it's been a bit lonely as a spurs fan. However, the last few years as my youngest has truly fallen in love with Spurs, and sharing my years of mostly disappointment with him have been the best
