Tottenham have just lost 4-2 to Wolves, their 17th league defeat of the season and now sit 15th in the Premier League table. In any other season, this kind of form could potentially have them in the thick of a relegation battle. Shocking stuff for a club of this size, and for a side that’s never been relegated from the Premier League. Jack is joined by screenwriter Charlie Brafman to make sense of the chaos. A long-time admirer of Ange Postecoglou, Charlie offers his take on why we should have s...

Full-time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and it ends 1-1 in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final. A frustrating night for Spurs with plenty of possession, some real moments of quality, but no killer blow. Pedro Porro’s audacious backheel cancelled out an early Frankfurt opener, and while Maddison tried his best to pull the strings and Bergvall rattled the bar, it just wasn’t quite enough to take a lead to Germany.

Jack welcomes Phil back to the show to go over last night again, and to look ahead at where Spurs go from here. Ange Postecoglou has once again found himself in a weird spot with the fans – or maybe not, depending on who you ask. He’s claiming there’s no issue, but his comments in today’s pre-Southampton presser suggest otherwise, with talk of falling out of love with football because of VAR. Is this really the message we want to be hearing from the manager? Is something deeper going on? We get ...
