    THE LAB | Do You Trust The Lewis Family?

    We’re joined by Anatole Pang to dig into what’s really happening behind the scenes at Tottenham Hotspur following the departure of Daniel Levy and the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi. We talk about the club’s restructure, the role of the Lewis family, the significance of the Gibb River review, and whether Spurs have abandoned the modern football model to build around one coach. We also discuss Peter Charrington’s statement to fans, ownership responsibility, governance, recruitment, leadership vacuums and whether Tottenham finally have a proper football structure in place… or whether we’re simply witnessing another reset dressed up as revolution.

    S15E83 - Romero, Rage & The Final Day

    We try to hold it together ahead of Tottenham’s final game of the season…

    There’s anger over Romero leaving for Argentina before the biggest game in years, debates over whether footballers genuinely care about the clubs they play for, and the creeping fear that Spurs are fully capable of turning the one relegation scenario available into reality.

    We also get into De Zerbi’s press conference comments, the pressure of survival Sunday, possible heroes against Everton, and why nobody trusts Tottenham to make this easy.

    Plus: Ricky’s accidental bluebottle infestation, dossiers for the FA, wrestling on sofas, pink wafers, and one of the grimmest stories ever told on this podcast.

    S15E82 - Uncle Bill Had The Right Idea

    Following another damaging defeat at Chelsea, we reflect on the wider psychological toll of supporting Tottenham Hotspur during one of the Club’s most turbulent seasons. We explore the long-term direction of Spurs under the current ownership, the impact of years of inconsistent football decisions, and whether Roberto De Zerbi can restore belief and stability ahead of next season.

    We talk VAR controversies, the lack of attacking quality within the current squad, and the pressure surrounding the decisive final game against Everton. Despite the frustration, there remains cautious optimism that Tottenham can finally begin moving forward again.

    S15E80 - To Tel And Back

    EXCLUSIVE 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.

    THE LAB | How De Zerbi Got Spurs Playing

    We’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. We talk about buy-in, accountability, composed aggression, pressing traps, risk, control, and why this version of Tottenham suddenly looks calmer, braver and far more connected.

    EXCLUSIVE 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.
