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.
Spurs
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.

Tottenham Greatest Modern Moments Coaster Set
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.
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!
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…
Palace Pain and Sonny Delight
On this week’s pod, Steff, Milo, Gareth and Awesome look back at one of the greatest US Open tennis stories ever, evaluate the injury list at White Hart Lane, discuss the mighty Son Heung-min, ponder whether his Dad is in the running for father of the year, and Steff admits publicly to Milo he was wrong about how to say ‘Royal’…we might also discuss 22 men kicking a ball last Saturday, well, 11 at least…tune in for the shenanigans.
