We’re back, and we’re joined by Sean Kray (battle rap menace, Spurs sufferer) and Alex (finally resurfaced now he’s got a missus and no longer drinks alone at 10am). We talk Burnley away, the loudest chant of the day, and why explaining “Thomas Frank, your football is s***” to a nine-year-old is peak Tottenham 2026. We get into whether Frank’s actually seeing the season out, the ...

Get match previews and quick match reaction by become a patreon of The Fighting Cock It’s the Q&A podcast, which means we’re talking Tottenham, talking nonsense, and somehow talking ourselves into Andy Robertson. We go from “this isn’t exciting” to “actually… missiles from both sides” after a very telling Liverpool fan verdict, then get into leadership, game-state management, Udogie’s injury record, and whether this window is giving Saha and Nelson vibes. There’s also Bundesliga cosplay, Har...

“Brazilian fans are brutal… the training ground is being invaded… any kind of malcontent he will see in N17, he’s already been through it all in Santos.” We’re joined by South American football expert Tim Vickery as Spurs close in on 19-year-old Santos left-back Joao Souza. Tim explains why fans feel trepidation about South American imports, then makes the case for why this one’s different: Souza came through a brutal relegation scrap with training-ground invasions and still stood out because he...

Dortmund at home was electric, Solanke being back changed everything, Udogie looked like a proper left-sided option again, and suddenly we remembered what a functional team looks like. We argue about whether one good night buys Thomas Frank time or just proves the squad can play when set up right, and we clock the post-match hug...

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We start with the only thing that’s made us smile all week, an Instagram banger from Olly_101 that basically sums up supporting Spurs right now. Then it’s straight into the West Ham misery, the corporate-seat experience, the inevitable early concession, and the familiar cycle of boos, brief hope, and collapse. We get into Vinai, the club’s “big plan”, whether Frank is just a plac...

We’re back with Harry Brooks and we get stuck into Conor Gallagher to Spurs, why he’s basically plug and play, and why managers love him. We talk about what he actually gives Spurs off the ball, how he can become the press trigger we’ve been missing, and why his engine and discipline make him such a reliable week to week performer. There’s also a bit on Valiz likely heading back to Brazil, a quick Souza check in, and the bigger question of squad balance and what this means for Sarr, Gray and Ber...

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We try to work out what’s actually going wrong at Spurs, and whether sacking Thomas Frank even fixes anything. There’s a lot of anger about the football, but we keep coming back to the bigger issue: the club looks totally unaligned, with no clear sporting lead, no agreed identity, and recruitment that feels reactive rather than planned. We get into the “Tottenham DNA” idea, why m...

We’re just… numb. After another Spurs defeat, we try to work out whether numbness is actually the healthiest coping mechanism. There’s talk of wanting to go blind, fans squaring up to players, Romero’s baffling Instagram post, Vicario booting it long, Bentancur turning back, and whether drinking tea out of that mug ...

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We’re back after the Sunderland draw and honestly, it’s getting properly bleak. We talk about why that first half somehow looked “good” to some of us, why the second half felt like the usual collapse, and the stat that made us feel a bit ill: no open-play goals in five league games. We get into Frank’s brutal approval rating, the midfield’s total allergy to progressive passing, a...

Boredom, anger, Frank fatigue, timewasting on 60 minutes, selling Brennan Johnson, and the creeping fear that Spurs have stopped even trying to win football matches. There’s blame for everyone, coaches included, nostalgia for Ange, existential dread about being Spurs, and a lot of laughs because what else are you meant to do...

We’re back with coach Harry Brooks to deep-dive on wunderkid Luka Vuskovic and why the hype is getting silly for an 18-year-old centre-back on loan at Hamburg. We chat through what makes him so dominant, why his aerial numbers are outrageous, how he plays off both feet, and why he keeps popping up with goals like he’s a striker. We also get into the one obvious weakness in his profile, whether he can handle the Premier League right now, and what Spurs even do if he comes back when Romero and Van...

We finally won a game of football, so obviously we’re going to overthink every second of it. Sean Kray makes his Fighting Cock debut with an elite Mr Kipling bar, Ben’s fresh back from the away end, and we try to work out why the vibes were so good even when the football was… not. We get into Frank’s setup, the constant fan backlash, Odobert actually giving us something to latch onto, and whether we’re being too harsh on the manager or not harsh enough. Plus: Porro stress, Palhinha discourse, Ri...

Two red cards, a ref performance that made no sense, and yet the stadium noise actually lifted us. We get into Romero’s chaos, Spence looking class, Richarlison coming on like a man possessed, and whether the playe...

Our special edition podcast in collaboration with @SpursOfficial for the #ToTalkIsToDo campaign is now live.

We jump straight into the post Forest misery and try to work out what Thomas Frank’s Spurs are actually trying to do, because right now it feels like passing it around the back with zero conviction. There’s a proper rant about the Vicario to Archie Gray disaster, the endless long range bangers we keep gifting teams, and why the fanbase has gone fully toxic if that p...

In this one we start with the growing hype around Archie Gray, what his ceiling looks like and how he fits alongside Bentancur, Bergvall and the rest of Spurs midfield. We get into fan sentiment, Thomas Frank’s selections, the atmosphere at the stadium, drums, ticket prices and why it all feels so tense at home. There is a long and frankly unnecessary detour into how people wipe their arses, portable bum guns and moisturised ringpieces, before we circle back to Son’s emotional return, Matys Tell...

We try to process that 4 1 at the Emirates, from Thomas Frank’s five at the back and 0.01 xG to what it says about where Spurs are right now. We talk about chance creation, the players having to live in a low block, whether Frank really understands the North London derby, and what has to change before PSG and Fulham.

We talk creativity, Xavi Simons learning on the job, and whether set pieces are carrying us. Is it teething problems or a tactical flaw. Do we give Thomas Frank time or start dreaming about the next manager. We debate booing, the Van de Ven and Spence moment, and Vicario keeping the score sensible. We just want Spurs to be good again...
