S3 E3 - Woe at Wembley
This week, like after every Chelsea game, we are joined ESPN's Chelsea correspondent Liam Twomey to pick over another disappointing result at the National Stadium. We start by likening Spurs to Andy Roddick, and it doesn't get much better from that.
What is the problem? Was it luck, tactics, or simply the Wembley factor? Liam talks about Conte's master plan to stop us and if it might serve as a blueprint for other teams.
We talk about underwhelming performances from Wanyama, Trippier and Lloris, as well as the confusing dynamic between Eriksen and Alli after so much success in previous games against the Blues.
We move onto Davinson Sanchez and what he might bring to the team, plus the Champions League draw in midweek and Burnley at Wembley at the weekend. Can they do to us what they did to Chelsea on the opening day? What way will Wembley's pendulum swing this time?

S3 E2 - Ant Knee Marshall
We're joined by old podder Dan Rattigan this week, to discuss the professional start to the season away at St James' Park; a great result considering the supposed 'unrest' at Spurs this week. We discuss the excellent Eriksen, Alli and Dembele, and talk about the great Kyle Walker-Peters debut.
Inevitably, we discuss Danny Rose and that interview last week, including the knock-on effects of his honesty and where the fanbase might now sit with one of our best players. How does the transfer window look now he's said what he's said? Will he be accepted back by the fans now he's openly criticised the club, or will he be seen as another Kyle Walker?
We talk Chelsea, and if this is the best time to play them, plus some transfer rumours and likely goings on before the window shuts.

S3 E1 - Start 'er Up
We start season 3 as we finished season 2, slightly worse for wear with booze and discussing Tottenham with Jim (@stylishriot) and Oly Lister. We talk about pre-season and how it's set us up for the new season, half-empty Wembley and our complete lack of right backs. How do we prepare for life without Kieran Trippier, and how depressing a sentence is that to say?
We also talk transfer activity, or lack of, and why value in the market is currently superseding necessity. What shape is the squad in to tackle what could be our most important, but difficult, season to date under Pochettino? Will Wembley play as big a part as we fear? And is this the season that will be the making of Sissoko?

Summer Special - Episode 2
Daaaaaaaaaaaan in the USAAAAAAAAAAA!
Yes, Dan is out in the US covering Spurs' pre-season tour of the States, but we'll be damned if that's going to stop us releasing our second Summer special podcast.
Deep in a hot and sweaty pub basement, Dan is joined by pod favourite Ben Pearce and Cartilage Free Captain writers Greg and Vince to discuss matters from pre-season so far, including the late loss to Roma and the youngsters involved so far. ALso plenty on transfers and the new season being right on our doorstep.

Summer Special - Episode 1
We're here for a Summer special!
Tom and Dan are joined by Greg Stobart and Gerry Cox, two journalism big-hitters here to discuss how following Spurs from the press box has changed since the 90's. Gerry tells us many a tale, including drinking on the plane to Uefa Cup games, seeing Steve Carr ruin one of his on-the-whistle reports, George Graham's media training and accidentally driving 2 hours to Belgium. He's not one to miss.
We move onto our summer transfer activity, or indeed lack of, and wonder what is needed to combat our Wembley woes. How will Pochettino approach the season? Is Walker not 'one of the boys'? Do we rate Trippier highly enough? All this plus Facebook taking over Spurs.

S2 E38 - #ThePodTheFinale
It's the last episode of the season, and Tom and Dan are joined by old friends of the podcast Jim and Oly to talk about a ridiculous week where this beautiful team spanked 13 goals past actual Premier League teams. Does how we ended the season put to bed the criticism of Poch? Seven of those thirteen goals came from Harry Kane, helping him win the Golden Boot for a second season in a row - who can we put him up alongside in world football? How lucky are we to have him, and perhaps how unlucky were we to lose him to injury this season?
We move on to a full season review, assessing how we feel we did in the league and cups. Why did we challenge for, but not win, the Premier League for a second season, and what do we need to do to take that final step? We also pick our favourite goals, games and moments from a memorable campaign.
Dan brings a 'quiz' along for some end of season fun, but overall, we just got a bit drunk in a boiling hot recording studio and acted like it was the last day of school before summer holidays. It's been great, and thank you for joining us. See you next season. COYS.

S2 E37 - Farewell The Lane
This week, Tom and Dan are joined by Ben Schiffer, 21 years a season ticket holder and ready to join us in mourning at the loss of our great old beautiful ground, White Hart Lane.
We get straight down to business, the glorious scenes from before, during and after the game, with legends and fans taking to the pitch in a show of pure emotion.
There doesn't feel like anything more to say, so have a listen to us reminisce over our favourite goals, players and moments from over the years. If you ever set foot inside that stadium as a Spurs fan, you'd understand.
We are Tottenham, super Tottenham, we are Tottenham, from the Lane. And we always will be. COYS.

S2 E36 - Bags Packed
This week, a very weary Tom is joined in his flat by Dan to discuss the disappointing loss to a horribly gleeful West Ham, and why we cannot afford another disastrous run to end our season this time around. Are the players 'on the beach' having confirmed our top 4 place, and did they ever really believe they would catch Chelsea? And what do we think of the 'bottlers' tag that Spurs have been assigned?
Of course, the big talking point this week is the how the end is in sight for White Hart Lane. How are we feeling about it, and what do we expect from a Mourinho team who would love to spoil the party? What do we need to do to ensure our season at Wembley stands a chance of holding a candle to this campaign? And who would we put in the stocks to have rotten food thrown at them for the parade after the final whistle?
Lots more including Walker, Lloris, Dier and Levy, and a bit of Belgian chocolate. Time to say goodbye. COYS.

S2 E35 - Mind The Gap
This week, this glorious glorious week, Dan and Tom are joined by old podcast favourite Harry Sherlock to discuss Spurs finally - FINALLY - lifting the curse of St Totteringham's Day. How did we feel watching us demolish a sorry excuse of an Arsenal side in the last North London Derby at our old ground?
We ask where the game itself was won and lost, including the imposing performance of Victor Wanyama and the increasing influence of Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli.
Sadly, we have to address the issue of Kyle Walker, who has for some reason decided to jump ship from the Tottenham project. What drives a decision like that, and where could he get it any better than he has now?
We preview West Ham and our 4th London derby in a row, with a listing Hammers side in terrible form. This plus some listener questions.
Don't let anyone tell you not to enjoy this feeling. Finally. Glory. COYS.

S2 E34 - The Brick Wall
A bumper episode this week, as Dan and Tom are joined by Liam Twomey, as usual after we face Chelsea, and it's a pod debut for Crystal Palace fan and journalist Greg Lea, here to preview a big week ahead for Spurs.
We begin with the sad news of Ugo Ehiogu passing away, and how big a hole he leaves at the club, before moving onto Wembley. Where did we go wrong? Did Pochettino experiment and did it completely backfire? And how ridiculous was the difference between the two benches on the day?
Thoughts turn to Palace and a chance to bounce back quickly, and Greg gives us the lowdown on their brilliant recent form. Can we get back in the saddle ahead of the North London Derby this weekend? Speaking of which, oh my good god it's the North London Derby this weekend and we have a chat about that too.
All this plus some listener questions, and an incredible revelation from Liam involving a Premier League mascot and one of the biggest selling bands in the world today. It blew our minds.
Don't panic. COYS.
