S15E80 - To Tel And Back
4w ago00:56:12Tap to summarizeEXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! Cover art was shot by the wonderful Frederikke Jensen who kindly allowed us to use her work. Spurs take a point at home to Leeds, and somehow that is only the second-worst thing to happen to Flav this weekend. The lads pick through another deeply uncomfortable night in N17: Mathys Tel’s brilliant goal, his controversial high-foot penalty incident, VAR once again sucking the joy out of football, and James Maddison’s long-awaited return reminding everyone exactly what Spurs have been missing. There’s also huge praise for Kinsky after two outrageous saves, a nervous look at the relegation run-in, and the usual emotional spiral about whether Tottenham are actually going to survive. Flav suffers a personal disaster on the sofa, Ricky explains the terror of West Ham’s remaining fixtures, Jack flirts with Premier League conspiracy theory, and the NordVPN ad read goes somewhere no sponsor could reasonably have expected. Spurs are unbeaten in four. Spurs are also in trouble. Both things are somehow true. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
