Steve Perryman Is Here! Captain, Legend.
4d ago00:49:32Tap to summarizeWe're joined by absolute Spurs royalty, a man who doesn’t just know the history of this club—he practically built it. The ultimate captain, a club-record 866 appearances, and a man who lifted two FA Cups and two UEFA Cups in the lilywhite shirt: the one and only Steve Perryman.We sit down with a genuine Spurs icon to look at what true stability and leadership actually look like. And trust us, the contrast couldn't be sharper as we pivot to the circus of the modern game. Incredible insights from a legendary captain.Plus our usual cynical, therapeutic look at the beautiful, baffling world of Tottenham Hotspur, including - are we being Ezed again?, entitled young players and more daft transfer rumours. With Steve Perryman, Simon Lipson, Julie Welch & Lee BrownCOYS THFC
Transcribe →Lowball Bids And Shredded Letters
2w ago00:58:40Tap to summarizeThe summer football drought is here - the World Cup being merely an American advertising opportunity - and we're fretting about all things Spurs.Micky van de Ven is playing left-back to accommodate a player we don't even own yet (and might not), we somehow have eleven centre-backs on the books, and Brighton are peppering us with a passive-aggressive bid for Vuskovic.Did the THST letter go straight into Peter Charrington's shredder? Do they speak for us anyway? We banish couch-potato experts and dismal pundits to Room 101, discuss our best and worst Spurs matches and Julie offers a lyrical and moving tribute to the legendary Cliff Jones. And loads more.Analysis, irreverence, laughs, therapy.With Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott & Barry Graham.COYS THFC
Transcribe →What The Hecke?
3w ago00:53:13Tap to summarizeWe process the deeply conflicting news that Spurs leg-breaker-in-chief, Andy Robertson, is officially a Lilywhite. He's a nasty piece of work, but he's our nasty piece of work.Simon, Julie, Rob and Kev dive into the absolute chaos of the rumour mill, from the unconfirmed Senesi deal and the mythical Van Hecke "agreed terms," to Gary of Harlow's cognitive dissonance; Gaz, mate, if Harry Kane wants to break the PL goals record, why would he come back to Spurs?Plus, The Pedro Porro Paradox. We debate the massive perception gap surrounding Performative - why do Real Madrid and City want a man we think is bang average? We share our absolute "wrongest ever" opinions about past Spurs players, and consign hands-on-head goal celebrations to Room 101.Settle down with a cuppa - or something stronger - and dive into this week's therapy session.COYS THFC
Transcribe →Who Stays, Who Goes, Who Knows?
4w ago00:52:17Tap to summarizeNo boring 'End of Season Review' here. We all suffered that nightmare. Does anyone need reminding?

Is Palhinha off? Will we survive Kolo Muani heading back to PSG? (Spoiler: Fuck, yes). Is Solanke good enough? Porro to City (godspeed)? Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson.The 370-Game Injury Crisis: Digging into Spurs’ all-encompassing internal review. The pitch, the medical department, hiring a psychologist to literally cure "Spursy". Boardroom Twaddle: Vinai admits the club failed to prioritize football but claims it's Levy's fault. Time for football experts to replace the suits.Room 101: We banish those needy, automated "How did we do?" corporate feedback emails.Plus, are bald men follically challenged or superior? Important debate.Irreverence, analysis, therapy.COYS THFC

Inside the Episode:The RDZ Masterclass: How the boss played part-tactician, part-psychologist to save a sinking ship, and why the board must back him or watch him walk.The Spine: Praise for Spence playing with broken jaw, Bentancur, Palhinha, and why Kinský has surely locked down the #1 spot.The Romero Silence: Why did RDZ name-check everyone after the whistle except his captain?The Supporter Police: Why we are absolutely, unapologetically celebrating staying up (and letting Julie loose on the spiteful Alyson Rudd).Room 101: We banish the street-blocking zombies who walk and text.It’s Nice One Cyril — and we are staying up!COYS THFC
Transcribe →Down To The Wire
May 2000:51:34Tap to summarizeWe break down the Chelsea fallout and examine what it means for our Premier League survival. How do we solve a problem like Richy and Muani?

Transcribe →Hero To Zero: Anatomy Of A Brain-Fade
May 1200:45:33Tap to summarizeIt wasn’t the Villa masterclass but, in the cold light of day, it might yet be the point that saves us. We’re diving into the manic, slightly misdirected energy of the Leeds draw, Antonin Kinsky’s physics-defying heroics, and why our frontline has the cutting edge of a butter knife.Inside the Episode:The Tel Paradox: Scores a worldie then attempts aogic-defying defensive acrobatics. The Snail and the Ghost: Richy and Muani offered as much threat as a pair of toddler’s safety scissors. We break down the dismal bluntness of a frontline that seems to be running in quicksand.Pointless Spite: A 22k-follower account wanted West Ham to win just to spite Arsenal? We discuss why prioritizing Goon hate over Premier League survival is a one-way ticket to a head-wobble.Room 101: We bin the "sacred" plastic badge on the floor and re-admit Lange and Vinai.Feet of Clay: This week it’s Edgar Davids, Gareth Bale and Lucas Moura. With Simon Lipson, Julie Welch and Lee BrownCOYS THFC
Transcribe →Another Win, And Other Miracles!
May 500:48:19Tap to summarizeWe’re breaking down a surreal afternoon at Villa Park where Spurs didn't just win, we actually played football.In this episode:The Stand-outs: "Three-Lungs" Gallagher’s relentless engine, VDV’s return to godhood, and the surprising silkiness of the Bentancur-Palhinha pivot. RDZ's "Miracle" Speech: We discuss Roberto’s rallying cry to silence the "negative inner voice", avoiding medical team excuses, and how beating Villa would not be a miracle.Integrity or Insult? Was it a "lame surrender" from Villa, or are we finally seeing the brand-saving potential of players in the right positions playing with belief and confidence? Danso vs. Romero: We ask if Kevin Danso’s calm intelligence and brute strength are exactly what we need for the run-in, as opposed to the cultured chaos of Cuti.Transfer Cobblers: Sifting through the Robertson rumours; Vicario-to-Inter "agreement"; and why are we being linked with an out of contract Bournemouth player?Plus: A trip to Room 101 for Joachim Löw's nasal habits and our search for the very essence of Spurs.Next up: Leeds. If we win, dare we utter the S-word?#COYS #THFC #NiceOneCyril

Scratching The Four Month Itch

On the Menu:The Injury Curse: Solanke out, Xavi out. Is the medical team to blame (spoiler alert: no), are refs letting opponents turn our boys into mincemeat, or is something else at play?

Just When You're Out They Drag You Back In
Apr 2100:52:44Tap to summarizeSpurs looked like a real football team against Brighton, led by a midfield that actually did its job and a Xavi Simons masterclass. But between Pedro Porro’s positional amnesia, the threat of a Flappy return and the ongoing Muani mystery, we’ve still got plenty to moan about.Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Dave Bradshaw join Simon Lipson to deep-dive the pros and cons of our performance and so much else. We look into our passing problem, why digital wayfinding is just what we needed at this difficult time, and the goons make it to Room 101 (not a moment to soon). As does...Pat Nevin. It'll all make sense. Honestly.Irreverence, analysis, laughs, therapy.Let's get into it!COYS THFC
