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
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.
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!
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…
Jimmy Greaves, Chelsea and Nuno’s Perfect 11
This week, Steff, Ricky and Milo take a moment to reflect on one of the greatest strikers ever, Jimmy Greaves. Try to make sense to make sense of why the injury and travel curse seems to be enjoying THFC so much, work out what is going on inside Nuno’s head and how he might want to play going forward this season. If you want a ‘knees-up-Geezer-slagfest’ don’t bother sticking around! We will also pay tribute to using trash and eating veggie pies. Oh, and someone tries a French Nuno accent to great effect…always look on the bright side of life!
