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.
Podcast
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.
The Statues Game
This week, Steff, Milo, Gareth and Awesome look lightly at the whole idea of honouring legendary club figures with statues or stand names. Do we keep it simple or go full Dismaland like the Woolwich Wanderers? Also, Serge Aurier’s belated love letter and yes, we have built a brand new arena! Is it a megadome or some old trainers shoved together? Easy answer, right? Nothing’s easy in THFC life, so tune in for all the answers and more.
The Difference Makers
This week Steff, Milo, Ram and Ricky discuss the historic moment that they met at the Lane for a day out against the Villa, whether Dele’s in a dead-end alley, how the Son always shines brightest and who Amy Winehouse lovingly referred to as ‘Elvis’ regularly. All this and Milo reveals he wishes Steff had petted him with the same vigour as he employed on the bomb sniffing spaniel by Northumberland Park; whiskey business! Don’t deny yourselves the pleasure…
A Bad Plan, Poorly Executed
This week Steff, Gareth and Milo try to make holistic sense of what happened at the Deathstar. Oh, and Kenneth Branagh introduced proceedings with his best Brian Blessed impression and Harry Dean Stanton drops some heavy philosophy too. You know you can’t resist such aural therapy…
