Jack is joined by a jubilant Lara to bask in the glory of Tottenham Hotspur ending their Stamford Bridge hoodoo with an utterly dominant away victory over Chelsea. We kick things off by asking if this was one of the greatest away performances in Spurs' modern history—not a smash-and-grab fluke, but a composed, mature display where Tottenham completely bossed possession and kept a historic clean sheet. We discuss why this statement win feels like Roberto De Zerbi's equivalent of Mauricio Pochettino's famous turning-point victory at Aston Villa, and how a frank pre-Man United team meeting and the recent Marbella bonding trip have visibly shifted the squad's mentality. Attention then turns to our new midfield engine room. After weeks of crying out to see Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes start alongside one another, the duo delivered an absolute masterclass. We ask whether we have finally found a double pivot to rival the peak Mousa Dembélé and Victor Wanyama era, and why Fernandes is already showing shades of Luka Modrić in a Lillywhite shirt. We also celebrate Mathys Tel's sensational, Sonny-esque individual strike and argue why the 21-year-old has earned an extended run in the starting eleven, alongside praising Archie Gray's maturity out of position. Plus, we laugh at Cole Palmer completely losing his head (and somehow escaping an earlier straight red card), sweat over James Maddison hobbling off, and debate whether the Lewis family's summer spending has finally banished Tottenham's banter era for good.

Tottenham have gone to Stamford Bridge and absolutely BATTERED the hosts in a totally dominant performance. We'e been building something pretty decent the past few games, but this was truly the icing on the cake - a venue known for being the place where dreams go to die for Tottenham might have truly been the place where this new era began truly flying. Fernandes and Tonali were absolutely dominant in midfield. Mathys Tel with surely his best performance in a Spurs shirt was inspired. What a win! What is De Zerbi cooking here?

Jack is joined by Jon Bass (host of The Big Jon Bass Show) to bask in the glory of Tottenham Hotspur finally securing their first Premier League win of the season against Coventry. We kick things off by recalibrating our expectations for the season and explaining why Roberto De Zerbi's tactical flexibility—shifting to a back three to nullify Coventry's counter-attack—proves he has the pragmatic edge that Spurs have sorely lacked in recent years. We also compare his growing stature as a club statesman to the likes of Martin Jol and Mauricio Pochettino. Attention then turns to the standout performers on the night. We discuss why James Maddison is the ultimate "remote control" that makes the entire Tottenham attack tick, how his presence visibly unlocked Sandro Tonali in midfield, and why Tosin Adarabioyo's slick passing and aerial dominance could make him a vital fixture in the starting eleven. We also celebrate the spine-tingling return of Dejan Kulusevski and react to Johan Lange's recent interview in the Danish press regarding his job security and the rebranding of the Hotspur Way hotel. In the second half of the show, we dive into your listener questions. We debate whether Mathys Tel or Wilson Odobert should head out on loan in January, how much Spurs need to "overspend" in future windows to catch up with the elite, whether the upcoming trip to Chelsea is a free hit, and recall our favourite Spurs players with bizarre running styles—from Mousa Dembélé's effortless glide to Vedran Ćorluka's knee-bound shuffle.

Spurs have won their first game of the season - a worldie from James Maddison on his first start in quite some time sent Spurs on their way. Marmoush popped up with goal as did Ben Davies. There was also the special moment that Dejan Kulusevski stepped back onto the pitch following his injury hell. An eventful match, and one we're all glad ended up the way that it did.

Jack welcomes the legendary Billie T back to the podcast to reflect on Tottenham's season so far, fresh from a spirited comeback with ten men at Old Trafford. We kick things off by looking at the massive positives from the Manchester United clash, asking if the first-half display proves that Roberto De Zerbi's system has finally clicked—and whether a clinical striker is now the only missing piece of the jigsaw. We also unpack the bizarre Richarlison situation as he turns out for the Under-21s against Cheltenham, questioning how a clash of fiery personalities left Spurs without a proven goalscorer registered for the Premier League squad. Attention then turns to the January striker market, the runaway success of Troy Parrott and Will Lankshear, and De Zerbi's decision to take the squad (including exciting youngsters like Luca Williams-Barnett and Malachi Hardy) on a mid-season bonding trip to Marbella. Plus, we vent about the stale state of ex-pros in football media and Sean Dyche's recent comments. The second half of the show is dedicated to a massive listener mailbag. Billie reveals his iconic two-litre Pepsi Max and Aldi Disaronno away-day train concoction, recounts the infamous, chaotic 2018 away trip to Burnley, and defends the £85m signing of Mateus Fernandes. We also debate the aesthetics of future Spurs shirt sponsors, whether we should splash £100m on boyhood Tottenham fan Alex Scott, and wrap up with a deep dive into cheese boards, AI anxiety, and watching Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey in 70mm.

Jack and Con reunite after a tedious three-week international break, determined to keep the vibes upbeat as Tottenham prepare for a massive trip to Old Trafford. We kick things off by discussing Harry Kane matching Peter Shilton's England caps record. We ask why the striker's incredible legacy is still so under-appreciated by rival fans, and put to bed any lingering rumours of a spectacular return to North London. Attention then turns to the academy: with European giants reportedly circling 18-year-old wonderkid Luca Williams-Barnett, we debate whether Roberto De Zerbi needs to start trusting the youth and finally offer him a clear pathway into the first team. We also tackle the ultimate Spurs time machine question. If you could travel back and change just one moment in Tottenham's history, what would it be? From Moussa Sissoko's raised arm in Madrid to the barren 2018 transfer window and the Battle of the Bridge, we debate the sliding doors moments that could have altered the club's trajectory. Finally, we look ahead to the Manchester United clash, answer listener questions—including a hilarious debate on which widely disliked former player we would bring back to the current squad (featuring a passionate defence of Hossam Ghaly)—and wrap up with some essential film and TV recommendations.

With the unprecedented three-week international break mercifully drawing to a close, Jack and Gavin reunite to reflect on a deeply frustrating start to the Tottenham season. We kick things off by questioning whether the club has lost a piece of its soul. With hundreds of millions spent on new players, why does it feel harder than ever to connect with this squad compared to the organic, passionate teams of the Mauricio Pochettino era? Jack admits his creeping 'weasel' doubts over Sandro Tonali's £100 million arrival, fearing another Tanguy Ndombele situation, while Gavin explores why the scars of past transfer failures make it so difficult for fans to trust the current regime. We also catch up on the international break news, including Antonio Conte's explosive new interview detailing Daniel Levy's alleged apathy towards winning, the double Dutch injury blows to Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke, and Dele Alli's surprise phone call to Harry Kane on Twitch. Finally, we look ahead to a massive trip to Old Trafford. With Spurs still searching for a spark, is the clash against Manchester United the perfect opportunity to ignite the season, or will a defeat plunge the club further into the abyss?
