This week, Steff, Milo and Aamar (formerly known as Luton and the key founder of this pod) convene to discuss the North London Derby only to find a variety of reasons lie behind its postponement. We will also be looking back at our League Cup semi-final second leg against Chelsea AND having a Conte-perspective natter about our reported transfer targets. Well, put it this way, IF Conte ‘nattered’ we try to frame how he’d feel about such rumoured incomings. All that AND we tell you the two ingredients for a party to be legitimate; they’re so obvious, a 4 year old knows…
Hey Jude
This week, Steff, Gareth, Milo and Ricky look back at the FA Cup 3rd round game against Morecambe and the League Cup Semi Final 1st Leg against Chelsea. We also give an honest evaluation as to who furthered or hindered their cause with Conte. No rants, but honest conversation about some obvious candidates and former fan favourites. 3-2-1 download!
Just A (90) Minute
In this first pod of 2022, Steff, Milo, Ram and Jay look to vary things up as they review the various matches which took place over the festive season, drawing the line at repetition and allowing no prevarication when looking back at Watford, Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham. Milo was vary happy to play Stockley Park, his accuracy proving variable, albeit he was dealing with minute details…just tune in. It will make sense.
Mid-Season Review
As we near the half-way point of the season, Steff, Milo and Gareth chat about how it’s gone so far and pick their best game, goal, young player, most improved player and our player of the season so far. We also look forward to January and say who we would have heading for the door and what positions we would prioritise to improve.
It’s A Fair Klopp Guv
This week, Milo, Steff and Gareth discuss the return to standards and expectations at Spurs in the wake of the Liverpool match, plus we try to figure out whether football should stay or go during the Covid spike. We also pay light homage to the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body, at the same time covering our tragic exit from the Europa Conference League.
Dier, Dier My Darling
This week, Milo, Gareth and Steff investigate the legend that is Eric Dier – centre-half, midfielder, horticulturalist and occasional desert nomad, as we explore why FIVE successive Tottenham managers have found him indispensable. We will also take a look at the current Covid issues both at Spurs and in the game, and you’ll soon understand which filmmakers got it wrong by not making their classics into musicals.
Spurs 5 – 0 Brentwich
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.
