Three straight league wins and we’ve forgotten how to be miserable. We pick apart Tottenham’s win over Palace, the relentless pressing under De Zerbi and why Tonali and Fernandes have transformed our midfield. There’s love for Archie Gray, excitement over Luca Williams-Barnett and a disagreement about what we should expect from Kudus. Are we starting to feel something we haven’t felt since Pochettino? Plus, building Roberto a statue, getting carried away about Europe and Flav defending his decision to abandon his own podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

THE LAB - Why De Zerbi’s Tottenham Is Starting to Click

We’re joined by Kish from LilywhiteLab to break down how De Zerbi’s Tottenham is taking shape, and why the Chelsea performance showed far more than the highlights could capture. We discuss Fernandes unlocking Tonali, Maddison pulling opponents out of position, and why technical centre-backs are essential to making it all work. There’s also Kinsky’s bravery on the ball, Kudus giving us a way out of the press, and the joy of watching wingers who actually take their man on. But with Spurs increasingly controlling games, who turns that dominance into goals? We examine Solanke’s role, the challenge of breaking down deeper defences and where the next major signing might be needed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We discuss Tonali and Fernandes running the midfield, Tel’s relentless confidence, Kinsky playing through the pressure and whether Spurs really are back. There’s also Harry Kane’s Ballon d’Or, the recognition he deserved all along and Alec’s unexpected encounter with him on a night out. Plus Rory Jennings’ misery, your questions, Flav’s infamous Kane tweet, Ricky refusing to celebrate and dangerously high confidence ahead of Palace. Learn more about your ad choices.

S16E27 - The New Tottenham

We’ve gone to Stamford Bridge and played Chelsea off the park. Flav, Alex and Big Jon celebrate a glorious two nil win, with Fernandes and Tonali running the midfield, Tel delivering a moment to remember and De Zerbi giving us every reason to believe. We discuss Chelsea losing their heads, the Palmer and Rogers flashpoints, Kinsky and Van Hecke’s importance on the ball, and whether this is the start of a new Tottenham. Plus, giving young players time, being spectacularly wrong about footballers, and why we need to back it all up against Palace. There’s also a warehouse rave, some deeply satisfying glory scrolling and Flav’s internet abandoning him before the optimism does. Learn more about your ad choices.

S16E24 - Everything’s Going to Be Fine. Probably.

Harry Brooks and Thelonious join us for Q&A Thursday, and Flav’s convinced everything’s going to be fine. Convincing everyone else is another matter. Was the United performance a turning point, or were United just shite? We debate De Zerbi’s football, our lack of presence in both boxes and whether encouraging performances will actually turn into wins. Plus, are we blocking our best young players? We discuss Mikey Moore, giving Williams-Barnett a chance and whether selling Lankshear was the right call. There’s also Marbella, the emotional damage of supporting Tottenham and the small matter of actually beating Coventry. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We pick through a performance that gave us reasons to be positive, even if that optimism is upsetting a few people. Cal and debutant Dan Muino join us to discuss Bentancur’s red card, Savinho’s persistence, Gallagher’s underappreciated work and why De Zerbi deserves time to get this rebuild right. Plus, Van Hecke’s passing, our problems in front of goal and what “Spurs will be fine” actually means. And Dan tells us the story behind his viral Sol Campbell celebration: a homemade “traitor” T-shirt, a charity match and a booking worth taking. Learn more about your ad choices.
