This week, Ram, Gareth, Milo and Steff look back at the week which saw Spurs score 5 goals without reply against Brentford and Norwich, saw Antonio Conte’s vision settling fast and saw Spurs on the cusp of our rightful slot back in the CL places. We also look back at Rivaldo’s penmanship, whether Redknapp called Eden Mickey AND get jittery about Liverpool even though there are two more games before it. Oh, and we crown Eric Dier the unofficial Balon D’or winner. It’s a little nutty this week so strap in…
Snow Problem
Match postponed? Snow trouble for this pod as Steff, Milo, Ricky and Awesome go for Mura discussion on disappointing Euro nights, takes a look at our newly released annual accounts and settle into me some pretty impressive gift guiding.

Tactics, Passion and Projects
This week, Steff, Simon, Milo and Awesome play ketchup with the Conte regime and the spicey 2-1 win against Leeds at White Hot Lane. We also delve into the concept of project building versus instant-grat with football teams today. Will Tottenham ever build ‘a project’ again, or are we on the supercharged highway seeking instant success? All this and a message for the boo-boys.
Spurs In The 90s
This week Steff, Milo and Gareth jump in the Game Is About Glory time machine to go back to the 1990s. What was it like being a Spurs fan in the 90s? Was Alan Sugar really that bad? Which players typified 90s Spurs? Our best and worst games of the decade? All this and Steff regales us with tales of his encounters with Nick Hornby and Sir Alex Ferguson.
Work In Progress
This week, we discuss Antonio Antonio, deep-dive our academy and what to do with our brightest young talent, make Abba and Hugo synonymous and ponder the potentially comforting scent of Mr. Conte’s ears. Simon (Spurs International on Twitter) makes his The Game Is About Glory debut alongside Steff, Milo and Ricky. This show is bellissimo!
Back To The Future
This week’s pod allows you to go back in time to a match when we had a lovely man swimming out of his depth with a school of his own fish seemingly unwilling to lift a fin or exert a gil (not Bryan!) for club or him. Listen back to our reflections of this dark river moment, knowing that in the end he was rescued and his old school fed a Michelin star diet!!!! Basically, tis a look back at Nuno’s last game sort of in charge against Man U. Listen in and see if we called it the way you saw it…
Emergency Pod: Nuno’s Sacking and Conte’s Appointment
Emergency! Emergency! Tottenham have sacked a manager and are on the verge of appointing another. Steff, Milo, Ricky and Gareth stop what they’re doing and discuss Nuno’s exit, Antonio’s impending entrance and Paratici’s role in it all…it’s fast, it’s loose, it’s life as a Spurs supporter!
Plumbers and Draughtsmen
It’s our 50th episode!
What do Jayne Mansfield, Harry Winks, Dudley Moore, Nuno and Steve Bruce all have in common? Tune in to this week’s The Game Is About Glory to find out. Plus Milo, Ram and Steff look back at the games against West Ham and Vitesse, plus the week that was, which all become one continual flow of congruent conversation, debate and analysis. Go on; you know you must…
Nuno Gets A Toon Out Of Tottenham
This week, Milo, Ricky, Gareth and Steff look back at a very satisfying match against the latest Premiership loadsamonies, look at what the new ownership at Newcastle represents, try to figure out how it could be allowed and discuss what the ‘red line’ would be for us with regards to the status of someone/somenation buying our club. You will also learn what we had for breakfast; Gareth is a rebel.
