The Tottenham Way

Marcus is joined by a full contingent of Dan, Tom A and Tom B to discuss the miserable north London derby. Once again we are left asking where a damaging defeat leaves Ange, with Allnutt taking issue with the head coach's "problematic" post-match comments. Barclay gets stuck into the stats,  Marcus tries to convince everyone that relegation is a real possibility, while Dan continues to "live in the world of sunny optimism". The entire panel ends the pod with reasons to be cheerful after a look ahead to Sunday's game at Everton.

Marcus, Dan and Tom A preview Wednesday's crunch north London derby after running the rule over Spurs' stodgy win over Tamworth on Sunday. Did a slightly humiliating 3-0 win over the part-timers kill momentum following the magnificient victory over Liverpool or was, as Ange said, the result all that matters? Tom argues that now is a great time to play Arsenal, while Marcus' pessimism clashes with Dan's optimism again.

Marcus and Dan react to Wednesday's outstanding 1-0 win over Liverpool in the League Cup semi-final first leg, sealed by Lucas Bergvall's first goal for the club. The night got off to a grim start with Rodrigo Bentancur's injury but Spurs kept their composure to edge ahead in the tie, thanks to brilliant displays by Bergvall, Archie Gray, Dominic Solanke, Djed Spence and, of course, debutant Antonin Kinsky.

Marcus Buckland and Tom Barclay assess Tottenham's 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle, why Ange Postecoglou was left raging afterwards and why, despite yet another loss, the performance provided hope going into the Liverpool semi-final.

Marcus, Dan and Tom A look back on the games against Forest and Wolves, as Spurs finished 2024 with two more difficult results. Marcus reels off the grim stats, including unwelcome comparisons for Ange with Conte, Mourinho and Poch, but as ever there are mitigating circumstances to Spurs' poor form to consider. Plus, the panel name their best and worst moments of 2024, plus Spurs' player of the calendar year.

Tom Barclay of The Sun and Dan Kilpatrick of the Evening Standard react to Spurs' home humbling to Arne Slot's Reds and debate how serious Ange Postecoglou's side can be considered in terms of being a future title-challenger like he wants them to be. And is Big Ange right to point to all the injuries and the schedule as the crux of this defeat?

Host Marcus Buckland and Tom Allnutt of The Times react to a pulsating 4-3 victory over Manchester United as Tottenham advanced to the semis of the Carabao Cup.

Marcus Buckland and Tom Barclay of The Sun preview Tottenham's Carabao Cup quarter-final against Manchester United and reflect on Ange Postecoglou's comments pre-match, from the Daniel Levy chants at Southampton, to Marcus Rashford, to asking the fans to bring the noise.

Host Marcus Buckland and Dan Kilpatrick of the Standard react to Spurs' 5-0 win over sorry Southampton at St. Mary's. Was this a turning point in the season or just a clinicial performance against an abject side? Djed Spence and James Maddison are topcis of discussion, as well as supporters' chants against chairman Daniel Levy. 

Marcus and Dan have different perspectives on Postecoglou's position and where the blame lies after Sunday's miserable 4-3 defeat to Chelsea. Should Ange's job be under threat after another bad loss or do fans need to remain patient? There is a disagreement over Spence of all people but consensus that Spurs must spend in January to improve a creaking squad.
