| Everton reaction: VDV steals show, Odobert lively, redemption for Biss | 24 Aug 2024 | 00:30:47 | |
Dan Kilpatrick is joined by Sean Walsh of 90min.com to react to the 4-0 thrashing of Everton. Micky van de Ven stole the show with a stunning 70-yard assist for Sonny's second goal as Spurs got off to a flier at home. Plus, Wilson Odobert lively on debut, Bissouma scores his first Spurs goal after returning from ban and Deki shines at 10.

| Do Spurs Need a New No6? Plus, Maddison Sparkles but Son Flat at Leicester | 21 Aug 2024 | 00:44:57 | |
Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan and Tom B to pick over Monday night's frustrating 1-1 draw with Leicester. Madders looked back to his fizzy best but it was a flat performance from Sonny before PL debuts for Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray. With Bentancur stretched off with a nasty-looking head injury and Biss in the doghouse, who should play at No6 vs Everton on Saturday? And do Spurs need more signings?

| How to Catch Arsenal & NLD Preview | 22 Apr 2024 | 00:36:17 | |
Host Marcus Buckland is joined by the Evening Standard's Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Allnutt of the Times to preview this Sunday's huge north London derby. How big is the gap to Arsenal and how many Spurs players would get in their team? Plus, Udogie's injury gives Ange a fresh headache.

| The Tottenham Way Christmas (VAR) Quiz 2019! | 23 Dec 2019 | 01:16:32 | |
So here it is, VARry Christmas... Another year, another Tottenham Way Christmas Quiz! Expect all the same trivia, competitiveness and pathetic arguing of the following children: Cath (curlycaff) Billie T Jim (@stylishriot) Oly Lister Seann Walsh and Dan Kilpatrick Hosted by Tom Foins and produced by Jim Donaldson. Merry Christmas. | |||
| The Christmas Quiz 2018! | 28 Dec 2018 | 01:33:36 | |
Yes, your eyes do not deceive you, we are back for one night only to bring you the Tottenham Way Christmas Quiz 2018. Tom and Dan welcome back some podcast stalwarts to battle it out for the title of Quiz winners of the year; Dan KillyP with Sean Walsh, Oly Lister and BillieT, and Caff (@curlycaff) and Jack (tehTrunk). We have have 5 round to get through, with some bonus material in the middle where we catch up on all things Spurs, whilst getting steadily more and more drunk throughout. The last 30 minutes contains some truly world class slurring, swearing and shouting over each other. Did you expect any less? It's good to be back. And as ever, COYS. | |||
| S3 E31 - The Last One | 16 May 2018 | 01:05:10 | |
To bring The Tottenham Way podcast to a close, Tom and Dan are joined by pod stalwarts Jim and Oly to review the season and generally disagree with each other over just about everything. We start with Pochettino's comments post-Leicester, and what it could mean for his future at Spurs. Do we expect a big summer? What, indeed, does a big summer look like to us? We talk leaving Wembley (hopefully...) and Kane normalising greatness. We rake over our pre-season predictions to see who was the most wrong, and discuss our favourite moments from the season as a whole. Finally, we want to say an enormous thank you to everyone who has guested, supported, promoted and engaged with The Tottenham Way Podcast over the last 3 years. We'll still be around for the odd special episode here and there, but for now, for the final time: COYS x | |||
| S3 E30 - Entertaining Rubbish | 01 May 2018 | 00:53:24 | |
So, Watford was a struggle wasn't it? Here to discuss a game that Dan - incredibly - found 'entertaining', is Sky Sports and The I journalist Oliver Young-Myles. Important to reverse the slide and get Kane back among the goals, but in a wider context another 5 point buffer over Chelsea in the race for top 4. What was the key to winning the game? Simply Kieran Trippier? Some Dembele and Dier chat, Lloris, Poch and West Brom to finish it all off. Getting closer. COYS | |||
| S3 E29 - Pain, Kane, and Going Again | 23 Apr 2018 | 00:58:17 | |
This week, this horrible, heartbreaking week, it's an El Classico, with just Tom and Dan left to pick themselves up and go over Tottenham's eighth FA Cup semi-final loss in a row. We went ahead, but it still wasn't enough. Why? And when will this ridiculous run end? Pochettino's alarming post-match comments, plus his team selection, get analysed, before we go on to talk about the remarkable treatment of Harry Kane from an authority who should be protecting him. Some Watford talk. Some soul-searching. Some realism. Some dreaming. Some day. COYS. | |||
| S3 E28 - Hats | 18 Apr 2018 | 01:03:13 | |
This week, Dan and Tom are joined by Pete Starr, Head of Content at MatchPint.co.uk and Man United fan ahead pf the massive semi final at Wembley on Saturday. We discuss the uncomfortable Manchester City title win after their worryingly simple victory over Spurs at the weekend, and wonder what both clubs need to do to come close to them next season. As for the game itself, well, we gloss over some stuff. Brighton and the PFA Team of the Season are mulled over, before we get down the semi final chat. Plenty to go over here, including lineups, Vorm, Lloris, Son, Lamela, Martial, Rashford, Pogba and Sanchez, and not to mention Pochettino vs Mourinho. Season defining. COYS. | |||
| S3 E27 - Kane's Firstborn | 09 Apr 2018 | 00:54:21 | |
This week, Tom and Dan discuss Harry Kane's insatiable search for goals, epitomised by his claim for our second goal against Stoke this weekend. We talk about our whipping boys from the Potteries, plus some Dembele metaphors and Toby talk. Little bit of City, and our decent record against them, and some overview of our season at Wembley as it draws ever closer to an end. Top 4, Trippier, Pep, Sane, and some Kyle Walker. COYS. | |||
| S3 E26 - Finally | 03 Apr 2018 | 01:00:09 | |
To discuss the mere 28 years, 1 month and 23 days since our last victory at Stamford Bridge, Tom and Dan are joined by Liam Twomey, ESPN's Chelsea correspondent, graciously willing to go over the event we all thought we'd maybe never see again. It's finally happened, and we have Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen to thank for the most part, but how has it taken so long, and what does it mean to have finally got this significantly sizable monkey off our backs? We talk about what it means for the top 4, what it means for both clubs in the short and long term, and Spurs' best players shining on the biggest stage. We also have a chat about Lamela being a b*stard, Lloris and his flapping hands, Levy's salary, Toby's contract, and Stoke away. It's finally happened. COYS. | |||
| S3 E25 - Ellen Dangeneres | 19 Mar 2018 | 00:52:04 | |
El Classico this week, Tom and Dan picking over the FA Cup quarter final win over Swansea which paved the way for our semi-final meeting with Man United. Do we consider Wembley as an advantage, having spent what feels like an eternity getting over the 'Wembley Curse'? And what can we expect from Mourinho? Swansea is reviewed, with attention paid to Vorm, Eriksen and Lamela, with a little touch of Sissoko, who apparently Firmino loves. Don't ask. Some chat on season tickets again, plus Shaw vs Rose. COYS. | |||
| Agony for the Men, Ecstasy for the Women: Weekend Reaction | 15 Apr 2024 | 00:46:09 | |
Host Marcus Buckland is joined by the Evening Standard's Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Allnutt of the Times to pick over a contrasting weekend for Spurs' men's and women's sides. While Ange Postecoglou's team were thumped 4-0 at Newcastle in their worst performance of the season, the women reached a maiden FA Cup Final with a 2-1 win over Leicester. What went wrong on Tyneside and why is the defence such a glaring issue? Plus, more debate on Bissouma and Werner.
| |||
| S3 E24 - Glorious Hindsight | 13 Mar 2018 | 00:49:44 | |
El Classico this week, just Tom and Dan to talk through the gutting Juventus loss and what it means for this developing team. We start with Kane's injury though, and what changes will need to be made to accommodate his absence from the side. Juventus is covered, including the little tricks that Spurs will have to learn along the way if we are to ever compete at the same level. Kane's injury left room for Son to shine once again, and we wonder why he's exploded this season, and our prospects with him deputising for Kane. Also Rose, Aurier and Lamela. Tickets prices for the New White Hart Lane, Swansea in the cup, and Mini Eggs. COYS | |||
| S3 E23 - Divey Alli? | 26 Feb 2018 | 00:56:07 | |
Tom and Dan are joined by Greg Lea, writer for The Set Pieces and Crystal Palace fan to discuss the scrappy, late and important win at Selhurst Park this weekend. Kane's numbers grow, Aurier can't take a throw (three times) and Dier fills in perfectly, but it's Alli who we study at length, in light of Lineker and Shearer taking digs at his supposed diving. Is it a fair criticism? Will it affect him at all to have the label the rest of his career? Some Rochdale, before some important updates from THST after their meeting with the board last week. We keep rolling on. COYS. | |||
| S3 E22 - What Have We Won? | 19 Feb 2018 | 00:56:27 | |
Tom and Dan and are joined this week by Sean Walsh, our trusty Tottenham Way apprentice (and leading Tweeter) discuss Spurs going from a sublime 2-2 in Turin to a ridiculous 2-2 draw in Greater Manchester. We start with a discussion over which Spurs players, past or present, would most likely steal a taxi in Barcelona, before moving on to the stunning draw at Juventus, including what it means to be 'new Spurs'. Pochettino's love for the Champions League, Italy's press gunning for Davies and Aurier, and Dembele running the show for the third week running. Rochdale needs looking at, and why we can't get ourselves motivated for these games. A full 11 changes to the team from Turin, did this slow us down? Why aren't the players fighting to get out of that reserve side? Finish on a couple of listener questions, including what we have personally ever won. Between us, it's not a lot. COYS. | |||
| S3 E21 - Derby Domination | 12 Feb 2018 | 00:56:53 | |
This week, Dan is in Turin ahead of our Champions League Round of 16 first leg tie against Juventus so Tom is joined by pod regulars Oly and Rosa, here for their first ever joint podcast. We have to start with the Derby and the dominant display that should have yielded more than the 1-0 win we came away with. Dembele ran the show, and we wonder if he's ever had a better 10 days in a Spurs shirt. Kane and his legendary status, Davies and his huge improvement, and Lamela taking Wilshere for a walk. We have a brief update from Dan from Italy immediately after the Pochettino press conference, before discussing the tie in more detail. Should we be confident? Are we knackered? Does Poch really believe we can win it? Derby Day Delights. COYS. | |||
| S3 E20 - Salty Towers | 05 Feb 2018 | 01:01:31 | |
This week, Tom and Dan have invited back George Baggaley, the salty Liverpool fan we brought on earlier in the season, and Conor Mummery, Mirror Football Social Media Editor, to discuss the pulsating and controversial draw at Anfield. We discuss penalties, Salah, Dier and the weird diamond, and Poch in the big games. Wanyama's piledriver. Kane's balls. We briefly touch on Newport before moving onto the North London Derby, with a new-look Arsenal rolling into Wembley. A big week is about to get bigger. COYS | |||
| S3 E19 - The Two Ronnies | 02 Feb 2018 | 00:56:23 | |
This week, Dan begins with the absurd revelation that he watched The Two Ronnies for the first time ever, much to Tom's disbelief. We move onto Lucas Moura, our new signing who Poch has said we shouldn't expect much from straight away. How true do we believe this to be? We do actually talk about football, and the outstanding win against Man United at Wembley. Kane, Trippier, Son, Eriksen and Dembele are all bigged up, and we discuss the kick-off routine that led to our opening goal after 10 seconds. Liverpool at Anfield is previewed with a mix of excitement and trepidation; can we buck the trend of our away results against the top 6? And what approach is best against a dangerous but leaky Liverpool side? We finish by asking what our best formation is, and what team would win the PL if they could only field an XI made up of their one best player. Spoiler: we probably still come 2nd. COYS. | |||
| S3 E18 - Debbie Downers | 22 Jan 2018 | 00:54:25 | |
Dan and Tom pick over the bones of our 1-1 draw with Southampton at St Mary's on Sunday - a trip that started badly when Dan tried to catch an imaginary train. The squad was hit by the flu during the week - leaving Eriksen and Lloris incapacitated and unable to play - and while Pochettino may not be using it as an excuse, should we be? How damaging to our Top 4 hopes was the result? And how far is the Sissoko hate really warranted? Thoughts turn to Newport, and a chance to progress in a competition that may be our best chance of success this season. Will Poch change his approach to the competition? What do we know of Newport? (the answer is next to nothing) Some transfer talk, then some listener questions. Chin up. COYS. | |||
| S3 E17 - Saints and Sinners | 17 Jan 2018 | 01:02:39 | |
Dan and Tom are joined by Jack Rosser, Spurs correspondent for Evening Standard online and Southampton fan, here to discuss the upcoming fixture on the south coast. It's been 5 years since Pochettino first turned up on these shores as a relative unknown at St Mary's, so we start with a look at his half-decade in England. Did Jack think he would ever be as successful as he has been? We talk loans for Nkoudou and Edwards, as well as Carter-Vickers returning from Sheffield United. Everton reviewed, including Son and Aurier, Kane the perpetual record breaker and an fantastic team goal. New contracts, all over the shop, before a proper preview of our game against a struggling Saints side. Spoiler: Jack is NOT confident. We end with some stadium talk, as Jack describes the move from The Dell to St Mary's back in 2001, and what it potentially does to a fanbase. Lots to discuss. COYS | |||
| S3 E16 - Not So Jan-uary Blues | 07 Jan 2018 | 00:49:02 | |
Here we are, back for the first episode of 2018 after our Christmas breaks. And what a Christmas period it was for Spurs. First port of call is the FA Cup, where Dan is fresh from attending and keen to discuss a few talking points, such as Kane, Sissoko, Llorente, Foyth and Son. Of course, Vertonghen getting back amongst the goals also comes up. We go over the busy week that saw us face Swansea and West Ham in quick succession, and where the period leaves us going into the new year. Bit of chat about the newly opened transfer window, plus an Everton preview, where Tom is oddly confident. Happy New Year. COYS. | |||
| The Tottenham Way Christmas Quiz 2017! | 20 Dec 2017 | 00:43:55 | |
To round of 2017, it's the Tottenham Way Christmas Quiz 2017! Three teams battle it out to be Quiz Champions. Who will win, and who will merely put the pressure on? Play along at home and let us know how you get on! Merry Christmas, and we'll see you in 2018. COYS x | |||
| Are Spurs Trying to Attract a New Type of Fan? | 04 Apr 2024 | 00:52:51 | |
Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick of the Evening Standard and the Times' Tom Allnutt for a bumper pod, discussing everything from Sonny's 400th game to what type of fan the club wants to attend games in future. The panel gets stuck into Daniel Levy's £3million bonus and what rising ticket-prices mean for the fanbase. Plus, Brennan Johnson's form puts Dejan Kulusevski's place in doubt, Nuno gets ready to return (but will anyone notice?) and Madders continues to struggle for form.
| |||
| S3 Ep15: Crisis Talks | 04 Dec 2017 | 00:49:37 | |
This week, Tom and Dan discuss the slump in form that has followed Spurs around like a bad smell for a month. Luck, judgement or something more sinister? We cover the FA Cup draw, Clattenberg making a name for himself, unhappy Alli and Davey Sanchez's elbows. Keep the faith and all that. COYS. | |||
| S3 Ep14: Waste of Time | 27 Nov 2017 | 00:39:56 | |
Another week, another disappointing Spurs result, although this time it came via an outstanding victory away to Dortmund in the Champions League, ensuring we finish top of our group with a game to spare, ahead of the Germans and reigning champions Real Madrid. With this in mind, why exactly CAN WE NOT BEAT WEST BROMWICH BLOODY ALBION?? Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Allnut head to the pub to discuss the see-saw life of a Spurs fan at the moment, while discussing Son, Kane, Rose and Ben Foster. Onwards. COYS. | |||
| S3 Ep13: Post Mortem | 20 Nov 2017 | 00:57:57 | |
Dan and Tom are joined this week by Luke Brown, writer for the Independent and Spurs fan who suffered along with us all on Saturday. Before we get to that horror, we ask Luke to elaborate on his excellent interview with Tim Sherwood, which raised some old questions about what influence he has had on the club as it stands now. Minimal, or does he have a point? Sadly, we have to discuss the derby defeat, which saw us go down to Arsenal for the first time in 7 league games. What went wrong? Was it a crime of passion, intelligence, tactics or otherwise? Can we blame injuries and fitness, or were we just merely beaten by the better team? We move on to Dortmund, and a daunting if somewhat pressure-free fixture against prestigious opposition. Is this the perfect game to bounce back with? Or should we be concerned of an ongoing confidence issue? Newly manager-less West Brom also get an airing, and the type of game we can expect if they get a certain Sam Allardyce - or perhaps even Sherwood himself - in before Saturday. Chins up, everyone. COYS | |||
| S3 Ep12: Dembelievers Return | 06 Nov 2017 | 00:58:41 | |
This week, Dan is being a dirty stinking flounce and has left Tom in charge, but fear not as it's the return of the original Dembelievers Cath and Rosa, here to set the Spurs world to rights in their unique way. We begin with a chat about Dembele and his fitness issues, and whether his beasting of Sergio Ramos will be his seasonal high point. Leading nicely into the Real Madrid game, how does it rank in our all-time performances and results? Does it feel like we've really arrived at Wembley now, or did it make us pine for White Hart Lane even more? Alli, Kane, Vertonghen and Trippier all mulled over too. We move onto the international break and our English lads pulling out of the squad. Can Poch now pull rank, or does his pride take over? And what is causing all our injury problems lately, can we simply blame the big Wembley pitch? We move onto Palace, and a tough but ultimately warranted victory over the bottom of the table club. Son - underrated or continuing source of frustration? Have we fully forgiven Rose? And what on earth to make of Gazzaniga in goal? We finish with a couple of listener questions, including what it's like to raise the next generation of Spurs fans. It's a cracker this week. COYS. | |||
| S3 Ep11: Brave New World, with Guillem Balague | 30 Oct 2017 | 00:43:06 | |
A special episode this week as Dan sits down with Guillem Balague, author of 'Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs', a fascinating look at how our manager has transformed our club since joining in 2014. There's also a little Real Madrid preview, and we're not sorry to say that we skipped the analysis of the disasters against West Ham and Manchester United. COYS. | |||
| S3 Ep10: Spurs Arrive | 23 Oct 2017 | 01:02:06 | |
This week, Dan has invited his Liverpool-supporting friend George onto the podcast to discuss - or argue over - the weekend mauling of Liverpool, our first win over the Reds in 10 games. After a quick discussion about George's experience of being a fan at Wembley (1m15s), we of course have to start with our heroic but completely warranted point away at Real Madrid (7m14s). What did we think of Pochettino's surprise line-up? Is Winks the second coming of Modric? And where does this leave Spurs in terms of our status on the European stage? We move onto Liverpool and the gradual dismantling of Klopp's laughable defence (15m20s). Dan and George argue over the targeting of Liverpool's defence, and whether it was a deliberate plan of Pochettino or merely terrible individual errors. What indication was the game of where Spurs and Liverpool both are? Was this the statement win we were looking for at Wembley? Thoughts turn to West Ham (40m15s) and who we are likely to start, in particular in midfield where numbers are short. The big talking point is the return of Lamela after a year out, and Tom and Dan stake their claims for and against his place in the team going forward. We finish with a preview of Man United, with us travelling to Old Trafford in good form (46m50s). Will we face a United side looking for a backlash after a disappointing two weeks, or can we continue our momentum? Listener questions include what does Jordan Henderson do, plus Kane's likelihood of going to Madrid. Enjoy. COYS. | |||
| S3 Ep9: Business Time | 16 Oct 2017 | 01:00:39 | |
Tom and Dan return after illness and covering England -- both equally energy-sapping -- respectively to discuss Bournemouth (meh), Real Madrid (ARRRGHHHH!) and Liverpool (errrrr) over an exotic beer. (1m15s) We discuss whether Poch's rant at Pep was a sign of irritation, clever mind-games or both, plus Levy's desire to keep him at Spurs for the next 10 to 15 years. (13m59s) Tom dishes out the Christian Eriksen stats after another decisive performance from the playmaker on Saturday and Dan wonders if Kane is being more selfish than usual as his Wembley drought in the league continued. (26m50s) Danny Rose's shock return is assessed along with Poch's selection headache at the Bernabeu and we find it harder than we thought to name our combined squad from the 2011 Champions League team and this current crop. (45m10s) Finally we look ahead to Liverpool -- has Klopp got the edge over Poch? -- plus our daunting run of fixtures over the next 6 weeks. To finish off, we look back at our pre-season predictions as we edge towards a third of the season gone. | |||
| S3 E8 - Great Kane | 26 Sep 2017 | 00:59:38 | |
This week, Tom and Dan are recording in Tom's living room having just watched the APOEL game live and prepared to give some hot takes straight on the back of our glorious victory. There really is only one place to start and that's with Harry Kane, the man who continues to take Europe by storm. That's 5 goals in the Champions League this season, and it looks like there will be plenty more. We also discuss West Ham, where of course Kane was instrumental once again, but also the contributions of Alli, Eriksen, Sissoko and Vertonghen, plus a chat about Aurier and any concerns we may have after his rash sending off. We also have a quick chat about Huddersfield but, spoiler alert, we know nothing about Huddersfield. Sorry. COYS. | |||
| S3 E7 - The Poch Enigma | 18 Sep 2017 | 00:56:43 | |
This week, Dan and Tom are joined by Sean Walsh, returning to tell us a few tales of being 'on the job' for ESPN and Crystal Palace this summer. We discuss the epic victory over Dortmund (09m55s), including the tactical accident of playing without the ball. Did Son's inclusion make all the difference? Will we see a more counter attacking set up against the bigger teams at Wembley going forward? We're brought crashing back to earth with Swansea (23m45s), and another disappointing league result. Why did Poch tinker with the team that played Dortmund, and what can we do differently? Is Poch to blame as much as any Wembley curse? Barnsley is dissected, including who we think we might see (35m02s) and what we can gain from the League Cup. Again, we question the logic of Poch essentially admitting to throwing this competition, with the club and the fans so starved of success. Thoughts turn to West Ham, and a potentially tricky away fixture (48m10s) against a team who love beating us. Will it being a lunchtime kick off have an affect? All topped off with some listener questions. COYS. | |||
| S3 E6 - The 100 Club | 11 Sep 2017 | 01:00:02 | |
Tom returns from selfishly having his wedding and honeymoon to join Dan and special guest Jonathan Shainin, Spurs fan and editor of Guardian Longreads. We start with a chat about longread journalism and why it is so successful, and what would make a good Tottenham long read; Pochettino or Levy? We move onto the surprisingly routine victory away to Everton on Saturday, with Kane reaching his 100th (and 101st) goals for the club. What have been our favourites so far? We also discuss Davinson slotting straight in, Ben Davies taking responsibility and Christian Eriksen continuing to be the player of 2017 so far. We move on to Dortmund and the Champions League, with an opportunity to show that lessons have been learned on the biggest stage against Europe's finest. How do we manage without Alli, suspended for half the group stage? Will Wembley again be a factor? We also discuss Swansea, the club against whom we've played 12 times in the Premier League and only ever dropped 4 points. So, there's some nice tempting of fate all round. This season we are sponsored by Harry's, the US shaving company making a big impact here in the UK.

| West Ham 1-1 Spurs Reaction Pod plus Levy's bonus | 03 Apr 2024 | 00:32:18 | |
Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Tom Barclay of The Sun to discuss Spurs' 1-1 draw at the London Stadium, Timo Werner, James Maddison, Yves Bissouma and Ange Postecoglou, plus reaction to Spurs' accounts which show chairman Daniel Levy has earned a £3m bonus and a pay-rise amid the club's losses.
| |||
| Transfer Window Special | 01 Sep 2017 | 00:34:38 | |
With presenter Tom Hayward still selfishly on his honeymoon, Dan Kilpatrick was joined by the Press Association's Tottenham reporter Tom Allnutt, himself newly married, to discuss Spurs' summer transfer window – in a booth at Wetherspoons. Following more Deadline Day drama, we discuss what happened and what didn't happen yesterday, and during the window, and question whether Spurs are stronger for it. Plus, do the signings of Aurier and Llorente mark a softening of Pochettino's approach? What does the future hold for Dier and Alderweireld? And is Paulo Gazzaniga the signing of the century? | |||
| S3 E4 - The Curse Continues | 29 Aug 2017 | 00:41:51 | |
As Tom recovers from his wedding over the weekend, Dan takes up hosting duties and welcomes seasoned podder Jack Hussey (@tehTrunk) to discuss the grossly disappointing late draw with Burnley on Sunday. Unlike Tom and his new bride, Spurs and Wembley simply can't seem to get their relationship off the ground. What can we do to stop this becoming a crisis? Will Spurs be able to shake off the nerves and ill-feeling before they welcome Europe's finest in Real Madrid and Dortmund in the Champions League? Thoughts move on to the transfer window, with Serge Aurier causing all sorts of divides across the fanbase. Do people deserve their second chance, and what does the prism of football do to characters like him? We also talk Foyth and other targets, with just a week left of the window. Remember we are sponsored by Harry's all season, the US shaving company making their impact over in the UK. To get your trial set for just £2.95, go to Harrys.com/Tottenham and help support the pod. COYS. | |||
| S3 E3 - Woe at Wembley | 21 Aug 2017 | 00:57:10 | |
This week, like after every Chelsea game, we are joined ESPN's Chelsea correspondent Liam Twomey to pick over another disappointing result at the National Stadium. We start by likening Spurs to Andy Roddick, and it doesn't get much better from that. What is the problem? Was it luck, tactics, or simply the Wembley factor? Liam talks about Conte's master plan to stop us and if it might serve as a blueprint for other teams. We talk about underwhelming performances from Wanyama, Trippier and Lloris, as well as the confusing dynamic between Eriksen and Alli after so much success in previous games against the Blues. We move onto Davinson Sanchez and what he might bring to the team, plus the Champions League draw in midweek and Burnley at Wembley at the weekend. Can they do to us what they did to Chelsea on the opening day? What way will Wembley's pendulum swing this time? We're sponsored this season by Harry's, the US shaving company making their way over to the UK. Get your trial set and support The Tottenham Way by going to Harrys.com/tottenham. COYS. | |||
| S3 E2 - Ant Knee Marshall | 14 Aug 2017 | 01:04:45 | |
We're joined by old podder Dan Rattigan this week, to discuss the professional start to the season away at St James' Park; a great result considering the supposed 'unrest' at Spurs this week. We discuss the excellent Eriksen, Alli and Dembele, and talk about the great Kyle Walker-Peters debut. Inevitably, we discuss Danny Rose and that interview last week, including the knock-on effects of his honesty and where the fanbase might now sit with one of our best players. How does the transfer window look now he's said what he's said? Will he be accepted back by the fans now he's openly criticised the club, or will he be seen as another Kyle Walker? We talk Chelsea, and if this is the best time to play them, plus some transfer rumours and likely goings on before the window shuts. COYS. | |||
| S3 E1 - Start 'er Up | 07 Aug 2017 | 00:50:44 | |
We start season 3 as we finished season 2, slightly worse for wear with booze and discussing Tottenham with Jim (@stylishriot) and Oly Lister. We talk about pre-season and how it's set us up for the new season, half-empty Wembley and our complete lack of right backs. How do we prepare for life without Kieran Trippier, and how depressing a sentence is that to say? We also talk transfer activity, or lack of, and why value in the market is currently superseding necessity. What shape is the squad in to tackle what could be our most important, but difficult, season to date under Pochettino? Will Wembley play as big a part as we fear? And is this the season that will be the making of Sissoko? We're sponsored this week by Beer 52, a beer subscription service that bring you the best craft beers from around the world.

Daaaaaaaaaaaan in the USAAAAAAAAAAA! Yes, Dan is out in the US covering Spurs' pre-season tour of the States, but we'll be damned if that's going to stop us releasing our second Summer special podcast. Deep in a hot and sweaty pub basement, Dan is joined by pod favourite Ben Pearce and Cartilage Free Captain writers Greg and Vince to discuss matters from pre-season so far, including the late loss to Roma and the youngsters involved so far. ALso plenty on transfers and the new season being right on our doorstep.

| Summer Special - Episode 1 | 10 Jul 2017 | 01:05:57 | |
We're here for a Summer special! Tom and Dan are joined by Greg Stobart and Gerry Cox, two journalism big-hitters here to discuss how following Spurs from the press box has changed since the 90's. Gerry tells us many a tale, including drinking on the plane to Uefa Cup games, seeing Steve Carr ruin one of his on-the-whistle reports, George Graham's media training and accidentally driving 2 hours to Belgium. He's not one to miss. We move onto our summer transfer activity, or indeed lack of, and wonder what is needed to combat our Wembley woes. How will Pochettino approach the season? Is Walker not 'one of the boys'? Do we rate Trippier highly enough? All this plus Facebook taking over Spurs. These summer specials have been made possible by Harry's, a US shaving company making their way over to the UK to pass their amazing savings onto you.

| S2 E38 - #ThePodTheFinale | 23 May 2017 | 01:13:37 | |
It's the last episode of the season, and Tom and Dan are joined by old friends of the podcast Jim and Oly to talk about a ridiculous week where this beautiful team spanked 13 goals past actual Premier League teams. Does how we ended the season put to bed the criticism of Poch? Seven of those thirteen goals came from Harry Kane, helping him win the Golden Boot for a second season in a row - who can we put him up alongside in world football? How lucky are we to have him, and perhaps how unlucky were we to lose him to injury this season? We move on to a full season review, assessing how we feel we did in the league and cups. Why did we challenge for, but not win, the Premier League for a second season, and what do we need to do to take that final step? We also pick our favourite goals, games and moments from a memorable campaign. Dan brings a 'quiz' along for some end of season fun, but overall, we just got a bit drunk in a boiling hot recording studio and acted like it was the last day of school before summer holidays. It's been great, and thank you for joining us. See you next season. COYS. | |||
| S2 E37 - Farewell The Lane | 15 May 2017 | 01:01:34 | |
This week, Tom and Dan are joined by Ben Schiffer, 21 years a season ticket holder and ready to join us in mourning at the loss of our great old beautiful ground, White Hart Lane. We get straight down to business, the glorious scenes from before, during and after the game, with legends and fans taking to the pitch in a show of pure emotion. There doesn't feel like anything more to say, so have a listen to us reminisce over our favourite goals, players and moments from over the years. If you ever set foot inside that stadium as a Spurs fan, you'd understand. We are Tottenham, super Tottenham, we are Tottenham, from the Lane. And we always will be. COYS. | |||
| S2 E36 - Bags Packed | 09 May 2017 | 00:56:22 | |
This week, a very weary Tom is joined in his flat by Dan to discuss the disappointing loss to a horribly gleeful West Ham, and why we cannot afford another disastrous run to end our season this time around. Are the players 'on the beach' having confirmed our top 4 place, and did they ever really believe they would catch Chelsea? And what do we think of the 'bottlers' tag that Spurs have been assigned? Of course, the big talking point this week is the how the end is in sight for White Hart Lane. How are we feeling about it, and what do we expect from a Mourinho team who would love to spoil the party? What do we need to do to ensure our season at Wembley stands a chance of holding a candle to this campaign? And who would we put in the stocks to have rotten food thrown at them for the parade after the final whistle? Lots more including Walker, Lloris, Dier and Levy, and a bit of Belgian chocolate. Time to say goodbye. COYS. | |||
| Luton Reaction: Johnson Brilliant but do Spurs Have a First Half Problem? | 30 Mar 2024 | 00:28:06 | |
Dan Kilpatrick of the Evening Standard and the Sun's Tom Barclay react to Saturday's late win over Luton, sealed by Sonny's 86th-minute strike. Brennan Johnson was the difference from the bench again but do Spurs have an issue with poor first halves? Ange doesn't think so... Plus, should Lo Celso get a go over Madders against West Ham? And another flat display from Bissouma.

| S2 E35 - Mind The Gap | 02 May 2017 | 00:56:32 | |
This week, this glorious glorious week, Dan and Tom are joined by old podcast favourite Harry Sherlock to discuss Spurs finally - FINALLY - lifting the curse of St Totteringham's Day. How did we feel watching us demolish a sorry excuse of an Arsenal side in the last North London Derby at our old ground? We ask where the game itself was won and lost, including the imposing performance of Victor Wanyama and the increasing influence of Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli. Sadly, we have to address the issue of Kyle Walker, who has for some reason decided to jump ship from the Tottenham project. What drives a decision like that, and where could he get it any better than he has now? We preview West Ham and our 4th London derby in a row, with a listing Hammers side in terrible form. This plus some listener questions. Don't let anyone tell you not to enjoy this feeling. Finally. Glory. COYS. | |||
| S2 E34 - The Brick Wall | 24 Apr 2017 | 01:13:06 | |
A bumper episode this week, as Dan and Tom are joined by Liam Twomey, as usual after we face Chelsea, and it's a pod debut for Crystal Palace fan and journalist Greg Lea, here to preview a big week ahead for Spurs. We begin with the sad news of Ugo Ehiogu passing away, and how big a hole he leaves at the club, before moving onto Wembley. Where did we go wrong? Did Pochettino experiment and did it completely backfire? And how ridiculous was the difference between the two benches on the day? Thoughts turn to Palace and a chance to bounce back quickly, and Greg gives us the lowdown on their brilliant recent form. Can we get back in the saddle ahead of the North London Derby this weekend? Speaking of which, oh my good god it's the North London Derby this weekend and we have a chat about that too. All this plus some listener questions, and an incredible revelation from Liam involving a Premier League mascot and one of the biggest selling bands in the world today. It blew our minds. Don't panic. COYS. | |||
| S2 E33 - Double Dreaming | 18 Apr 2017 | 00:56:34 | |
A giddy Dan and Tom are joined by the excellent Tom Allnut to smash straight into the title talk. There's no escaping it; we;re in it, but can we win it? We talk Chelsea nerves, important games and psychological edges. We discuss Bournemouth and the return to the score sheet for Mousa Dembele, as well as the statistical miracle of Harry Kane, who's hit 20 for the third straight season. Also Janssen's first goal, and Wilshere's injury. Was it all a bit much, or completely in keeping with the rivalry? Thoughts turn to the Cup semi-final, and ramifications of the result on the title run-in. We also work out what to do with Son, who is on fire but is the obvious one to lift out to match Chelsea's 3-4-3 formation. Could you tell his little sad face that he wasn't playing? Could you?? Also Tom asks if Vorm have a big fake injury... It's going to be a long month. Enjoy it. Drink it in. COYS. | |||
