The case for moving on from Ange

In the days since the club's historic Europa League win, swathes of supporters have done a u-turn on Ange and now want him to be given a crack at a third season. But host Marcus remains unconvinced he is the right man for the job going forward, despite fulfilling his promise to deliver a trophy in his second year. Here Marcus makes the case for moving on from Ange and fills us in on his conversation with Micky van de Ven's mum in Bilbao (and someone claiming to be Porro's brother). Tom Barclay a...

Spurs are Europa League champions (plus thoughts on Ange's position)

Dan & the two Toms relive the euphoria and emotion of Wednesday's historic triumph in Bilbao while Marcus is still on his arduous journey home. After discussing the best bits of the celebrations, and the game itself, which we found oddly compelling, we turn attentions to Ange's future. Can Levy really sack the manager who delivered a first trophy in 17 years? And should the emotion of this week be part of the chairman's thinking?

Nine days away: Reviewing Palace and assessing the build-up to the final

Marcus Buckland and Tom Allnutt look back on another miserable Premier League afternoon against Crystal Palace - does it really have to be this bad? Which players should be putting their hand up for Europa League selection? Is it the players or Ange at fault? And looking ahead to the countdown to the Europa League final against Manchester United, what is Postecoglou's message to the players this week? Will Son and Kulusevski be fit?

Spurs are on their way to Bilbao!

A giddy Marcus Buckland and a distracted Dan Kilpatrick (who is trying to book Bilbao flights mid-pod) review Thursday's win in the Arctic Circle, which set up a Europa League Final against United in a fortnight. Ange-ball may be dead but Ange's project is very much alive, with the Aussie edging closer to immortality. Where does the win in Bodo leave the head coach's future and has Marcus finally come around?

Terje talks us through his association with both clubs and gives us the lowdown on everything Bodo/Glimt, from how they are likely to play in each leg to the cost of a local beer. Before speaking to Terje, Marcus and Dan touch on the predictable collapse at Liverpool on Sunday, as Spurs proved the perfect guests to the...

What made the performance so impressive and what should we expect from Bodo/Glimt? Plus, a look ahead to Monday's game against Forest - does the Frankfurt result galvanize the squad or just underlined the meaningless of the remaining league games?

Who's to blame as Spurs slump to another defeat?

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick to pick over the bones of another league defeat, this time a 4-2 reverse at Molineux. The game was grim preparation for the season-defining Europa League decider at Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday, with Spurs undone by a string of individual errors.

Frustration against Frankfurt but Spurs improved

Marcus Buckland and Dan Kilpatrick talk over the 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-final first leg.

Ear and loathing! Ange clashes with fans at Chelsea

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick to discuss Ange's clash with fans at Chelsea and what next for the under-pressure head coach. Dan has just been to Ange's Friday press conference, where the manager evoked Conte and delivered a defiant address, but finds it hard to see a way back for the manager after his apparent goading of fans at Stamford Bridge. The pair also look ahead to Sunday's 'lose-lose' home game against rock-bottom Saints, while Marcus is pushing for Benitez...again.

Is Ange right? Are injuries the only reason for Spurs' slump?

Dan Kilpatrick, Tom Allnutt and Tom Barclay were all at Villa on Sunday as Spurs crashed out of a second cup competition in four days and they all questioned Ange in a fiery post-match press conference. Is the manager right to accuse his critics of "skewed", "agenda-driven" analysis and suggest that injuries are the sole cause of his side's woeful form? Or is there more he could have done in the circumstances, dire as they are? The panel get stuck in and don't always agree.

We also looked at the state of play early on deadline day and discussed Ange's improving options in defence and midfield for Thursday's massive game at Anfield.

Bring back Hoddle (and other bad suggestions)

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick to consider where we go from here after the latest nadir at home to Leicester on Sunday. Dan concedes that Ange is not the manager for a relegation scrap but draws the lines at Marcus' timewarped suggestions of bringing in Hoddle, Hiddink or Van Gaal as a caretaker.
