    Oct 23 2025
    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! Spurs are tougher to beat but still searching for a spark. We unpack the 0–0 in Monaco, Vicario’s big night, and why the No. 10 keeps getting bypassed. Is the Bentancur–Palhinha double pivot leaving a chasm to the forwards, and could Kudus through the middle help the ball stick? We talk Archie Gray’s versatility, Porro’s playmaking, Richarlison’s struggles, and what changes once Solanke, Kulusevski, Maddison, and Romero return. Plus: patience with Thomas Frank, away vs home identity, and January priorities for a deep-lying playmaker and a left winger.

    THE LAB | Tottenham’s £100m: What It Really Means
    Oct 10 2025
    We're joined by football finance expert Ben White to unpack Tottenham’s £100 million capital injection from the Lewis family. We explain why it is being done as a share issue rather than a loan, how amortisation and PSR shape what Spurs can actually spend, the Macquarie cash-advance story, and why Chelsea’s model is risky. We also talk timing, ownership intent, January vs summer windows, and what success looks like over the next three to five years. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Oct 5 2025
    Spurs leave Leeds with three points after a professional away performance. We get into Thomas Frank’s in-game tweaks, Xavi Simons central, Udogie’s all-action display, and why away-day Spurs look miles ahead of home form. There is chat on Vicario’s big late saves, the midfield blend with Palhinha and Bentancur, and what changes once Solanke or Muani are back. We also touch on the broader Premier League trend toward set-piece-heavy, pragmatic football. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    S15E20 - Palhinha and the Point
    Sep 29 2025
    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! Spurs draw vs Wolves sparks a cathartic chat: frustration with chance creation at home vs solid away form; “boiled parsnip” as the metaphor for a flat performance. Consensus that it’s early in Thomas Frank’s tenure, injuries matter (Madison/Kulu/Solanke), and a defensive-first build is sensible. Paulinha’s late equaliser praised for technique and leadership. Midfield makeup debated (Palhinha + passer vs metronomes), with calls to give Xavi Simons a run at 10 and find a dependable left-side option. Brief takeover chat: fan temptation of a £1.2bn spend vs concerns about ownership profile and league direction. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
