This week, Steff, Milo, Ram and Awesome look at some of the players who left Tottenham and went on to have cracking, curious and crazy careers. The focus falls on Jermain Defoe, Adel Taarabt (!!!), Luka Modric and Nabil Bentaleb as we dig in, look over their current careers and see ‘what happened next’ once they’d left the Spurs dressing room. PLUS honourable mentions for KPB, Reto Ziegler and the mighty Pascal Chimbonda who’s still lighting up the pitch at the age of 42 with Durham City.
Podcast
O Captain! My Captain!
This week, on The Game Is About Glory we discuss racism in football and what YOU can do to help kick it out, look back at the Euro 2020 Final and have an entertaining natter about those titanic, totemic team figureheads, the captain! Do we like them pointy-shouty or cool, calm and controlled? Find out with Steff, Ram, Awesome, Gareth and because we dragged him in at the end, Milo.
Euros and Villains
This week Steff, Milo, Ricky and Gareth delve into the ever-evolving excitement of the Euros for England, take a look at the pantomime and real villains who (dis?)grace our game, in the process learning why one of our team harbours a deep disgust at that loud wildman Ben Foster! And can you guess who shouted ‘w*nker’ at someone repeatedly for 90 mins? Bet you can’t! Laughs? Oh yes, there’s a few. Turn on, tune in, enjoy pod…
Emergency Pod: Nuno Espírito Santo
STOP PRESS: Steff, Milo, Gareth and Ricky convene for an emergency pod to welcome Nuno Espirito Santo as our new manager, discuss the appointment from several angles AND determine that Jorges Mendes is all Scribes and less Faces. It’ll make sense when you tune in – as you will in 3-2-1
Recorded on the hoof, so apologies for ropey sound.
The Ruling Class
Dynamic Danes, favourable France and (errr) enigmatic England. Steff, Milo and Awesome Dawson go into the Euro 2020 tournament thus far and delivers some thoughts. We also decided to improve the game of football by bringing necessary new rules to the game, and you contributed too! So two balls and bigger goals it is then! Tune in for this tomfoolery now!
Clusterf*ckapocalypse
WTF is going on with the new manager hunt? It has been the elephant in our beloved Tottenham’s room for some time now, so Ram, Gareth, Milo and Steff decide to go full Sherlock Holmes and try to separate the wheat from the chaff aka the bullshit from the truth. We try -as ever- to see all sides, but crikey, sometimes it’s really, really hard to do so!
Our Favourite Team Of All Time
Steff, Milo, Ricky and Awesome offer joy and dreams with this definitive Spurs 11 who we have witnessed in the flesh. Ossie or Luka? Keano or Berba? And hear how Souness paid back in the day for fouling Galvin in 1982, at the hand of The Game Is About Glory! And yes, Christian the Lion is in!
Danny…Danny Rose
This week, it’s all about Danny Rose as Steff, Ram, Gareth and Awesome pay tribute to a genuine Tottenham Hotspur legend. From thunderbolts to nutmegs, we cover Danny’s career in detail while also discussing some of the issues he dealt with as a human being. Join us for this heartfelt reflection on the mighty Danny…Danny Rose.
BONUS EPISODE – Toffee Spurs
Saved from the cutting room floor, earlier this season Steff, Milo, Ram and Ricky had a chat about some players who played for both Spurs and Everton. We rabbited on too long about the game, ESL and a load of other stuff and to include this in the Everton pod that we released back on 20th April. This was recorded the night that the ESL announcement was made and the day before Mourinho was sacked. It feels a long time ago now but it was a fun chat and we thought that you might like to hear it.
Squad Review
Steff, Ricky, Ram and Milo answer General Levy’s call and sit down to judge who stays and is expendable from our first team squad. From Bale to Kane, from Davies to Sess, our committee shows the world the way things ought to go down with our player pool, and is rewarded with a tenner off in the shop and a harness-free stroll around the stadium roof.
