S15E80 - To Tel And Back
May 1200:56:12Tap 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

THE LAB | How De Zerbi Got Spurs Playing
May 500:04:00Tap to summarizeWe’re joined by coach to Premier League footballers, Harry Brooks, to break down what Roberto De Zerbi has already changed at Spurs, from the shift in mentality and confidence to the tactical details behind the win at Aston Villa.

S15E78 - Those Chickens Are Up To Something
May 401:03:06Tap to summarizeEXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We’re back after a huge win at Villa Park, trying very hard not to get carried away and failing almost immediately. We talk about De Zerbi calming everything down, the shift in mentality, Spurs finally looking structured again, and why this performance deserved far more credit than it got. There’s love for Gallagher, Bentancur, Palhinha, Richarlison’s pressing, Kinsky’s confidence, and the sudden feeling that Tottenham might have found belief at exactly the right time. We also get into Villa fans, the “food chain”, the relegation picture, West Ham, Forest, Peppa Pig, and the dangerous joy of feeling giddy again. Learn more about your ad choices.

S15E75 - The Calm Before The Storm
Apr 2301:00:02Tap to summarizeEXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We’re back for a Q&A and it goes exactly where you’d expect and nowhere you’d predict. From old-school VHS trauma to full-blown relegation anxiety, we try to make sense of Spurs right now and probably fail in the process. There’s talk of De Zerbi, whether anyone at the club is actually accountable, and if this squad needs ripping up completely. We also get into season ticket prices, Arsenal paranoia, and whether we’d accept the weirdest title outcome imaginable just to stay up. Learn more about your ad choices.

THE LAB | Spurs’ Lost Season: Leadership, Recruitment and the Road Back
Apr 2200:56:48Tap to summarizeWe’re joined on The Lab by Kish from Lilywhite Lab to dig into what has gone wrong at Tottenham this season, and whether Roberto De Zerbi can be the man to fix it. We discuss the importance of player buy-in, why Thomas Frank’s approach never fully convinced the squad, and how Spurs’ lack of midfield control became the defining tactical problem of the season. There’s also a deep dive into the signings of João Palhinha and Conor Gallagher, the imbalance of the squad, the short-lived Igor Tudor experiment, and the wider questions around leadership, recruitment and culture at the club. We also look at De Zerbi’s arrival, his reputation for improving players, and why his coaching could be exactly what Tottenham’s young squad needs, even if the timing could hardly be more chaotic.

The Brighton draw, the panic, the hope, and why one decent performance has suddenly made survival feel possible again.

We check in on where our heads are at before Brighton, and it is not exactly a healthy place to be.

Grim in places, funny in others, and painfully familiar throughout. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
