Alex from Bristol (The Fighting Cock) joins me to look back on the slumping of Everton and dissect questions concerning squad depth, key individuals and whether the big man Ange can sharpen us enough to slice up the Prem.

Guess we best do this then. The NLD post-game review. Thoughts and prayers with THFC.

We delve into the positives and the negatives and ask WHY TOTTENHAM WHY?

Including: The fundamentals. The Mid. The Attack. Romero. Playing the occasion. Chelsea and Liverpool away. Includes several messy monologues. Soz about that.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We got dicked 4-0. We chat about it without drowning in misery, try to work out a few bits, especially the number 9 transfer conundrum, look ahead and look back whilst formulating where we are at right now.

It's been a weird season and yet somehow Tottenham still have a story arc to play out and have a massive say in another narrative too.

We are box office.

Dan joins to chat.

Joined by Dan aka StainesSpurs as we look back at Spurs cutting down trees against Forest. Including bits on the midfield conundrum, second half intensity, wingers, defence and accepting the journey.

Dan joins me for a chat. 

We look back at the non-event at The Cottage and once more try to decipher the temperament required for this current Tottenham reset and why it's going to all be fine (but we can have a moan in the meantime). 

Patience is a refinement tool, right?

Geordie Chris joins me on yet another Three Point Monday to chat about Tottenham's demolition of Aston Villa. A cracking performance, we chat about the synergy, the key individuals (there's so many of them, we're spoilt) and other talking points.

Patreon only: We also delve into the 6% season ticket rise and the clubs inability to connect with Tottenham fans (we're no longer client ref numbers, we're just marketing data) even though in the grand scheme of things, everyone will crack on regardless.

I absolutely love recording with tehTrunk aka Jack (host of Rule the Roost)

We go deep, we get philosophical. We ask 'where we at?'

What is OUR capacity for allowing the club to progress, finally, in the right way? That's both the board and the fans.

We touch on a few of the on-going narratives too, including recent form.

Hope you enjoy it.

I am joined by David Alfie Ward to chat about his take on Tottenham's transformation whilst we wait for our team to play Palace on Saturday so we can go return to good vibes and disco party post-match and then have be able to sink our teeth into some convincing Angeball.

Meanwhile, two blokes muse how far we've come in the space of a summer.

Enjoy.

Dan joins to chat through the major crisis playing out at Spurs.

/sarcasm

We do try to figure out the temporary glitch and why it should not impact our longer term hopes. We talk about current form versus expectations, the struggle for patience, subs, plan b, 'getting found out', issues against well drilled teams, fullbacks and so on. All the things feeding our poor recent form.

We also chat atmosphere and deep philosophy on what we want versus what we expect from football. 

Deep stuff.

Unpacked the Everton draw and the stats that suggest Tottenham have game management kinks that need fixing. We chat about the positives and ye old negatives along with the big talking points (Vic and the 'be stronger narrative') + the patient wait to have all players back and fully fit and fully fluid. 

We look back and then agree only to look ahead. We consider the summer and its importance and how the club have to fast-track to keep up with Angeball.

I'm joined by Dan. We look back on an absolute belter of a game (the 7 minutes it too us to score 3 goals) and the rest of it which was a mix of weird Spurs and aggy Brentford.

You might know Ross from Twitter. He runs the Spurs Simpsons account and has appeared on the occasional Filthy Shambles episode. Lovely lad. I've met him so this isn't just an internet shout out. He's a genuine bloke, salt of the earth type.

He reached out to me wanting to discuss mental health and his very personal experience. It's something he felt he needed to do. He wanted to do. To be open about it and perhaps inspire others to do the same, to seek help, to know they can.

This particular topic isn't of course related to Spurs and the football centric stuff - but traditional pods will follow.

This pod episode might not be for everyone and I respect that. But if you feel it is helpful in some way or you have anything you wish to share - please do.

Ross talks openly about himself, so please be aware the subject matter is at times difficult, maybe uncomfortable for some to listen to.
