S1 Ep18: Reaction Pod: Spurs 1 Brentford 3

The two Toms of TTW, Tom Barclay of The Sun and Tom Allnutt of The Times, pick through the bones of another depressingly familiar story for Spurs as they throw away a 1-0 lead to lose 3-1 at home to Brentford.

S1 Ep13: Euro vision: Spurs' scrap to make Europe, Romero world class or liability, Ryan Mason and Crystal Palace

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Tottenham writers Dan Kilpatrick, Tom Allnutt and Tom Barclay to discuss the club's battle to make the Europa League with the Champions League looking out of sight. Would it even be a blessing in disguise not to qualify for Europe? Or should Spurs start viewing the Europa League as a great chance to end their trophy drought? Ryan Mason, Richarlison, Cristian Romero and Crystal Palace at home are all also debated.

S1 Ep12: Stellini gone! Ryan Mason is the latest interim boss after the Newcastle debacle and Chelsea close in on Poch

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Allnutt and Tom Barclay to discuss another chaotic 48 hours. Cristian Stellini has been sacked after the utter humiliation at St. James' Park and replaced by Ryan Mason. Stellini had to go but how much of the blame for the mess does he really deserve? And what is Mason's job for the remainder of the campaign. Plus, Mauricio Pochettino is closing in on a move to Chelsea, giving Spurs fans the grimmest form of closure imaginable. How does th...

S1 Ep11: Levy's Cambridge Analytica: Chairman's chat at his old uni, Paratici's rejected appeal and the view from Italy

Daniel Levy made a rare public appearance this week at his old university Cambridge - though it happened before Fabio Paratici's appeal against his 30-month ban was turned down. Host Marcus Buckland, Tom Barclay and Tom Allnutt discuss the chairman's student chat and the Paratici news, along with Gazzetta Dello Sport's man in England, Davide Chinellato, to hear how a chaotic season at Spurs has gone down in Italy.

S1 Ep8: Poch or not? The contenders to be Tottenham's next manager, featuring Pochettino, De Zerbi, Silva and more

With Antonio Conte increasingly expected to leave at the end of the season (or before), host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick, Tom Allnutt and Tom Barclay to discuss the Italian's potential replacements. What do Spurs need from their next boss and does a return for Mauricio Pochettino make sense? Or is Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi the next Poch? And how about Marco Silva or Thomas Tuchel?

The Crisis Tapes #3

Tom and Dan are joined by Adam Nathan, Historian of Tottenham Hotspur Injustices 1999-present. We take a ride through over 20 years of nonsense, from terrible refereeing decisions in major games, goalkeeper mistakes, dodgy lasagna and fixture scheduling, and decide whether the universe is against our beloved Tottenham Hotspur, especially at times when glory feels so very within reach. Warning: some clips included will wrench your gut. Strap in, this one's going to be a fan favourite....

The Crisis Tapes #2

Dan and Tom return, with very special guest Greg Jenner, public historian and author, Spurs fan, and more famous - we determine - than Eastenders' Sid Owen. We discuss the culture of celebrity and how footballers in the current climate have had the light shone on them perhaps brighter than ever before. The history of sporting celebrity, sponsorship, salaries and public perception are covered in this fascinating discussion. We also cover training in the park, Son's military service, footballer's ...

S3 E31 - The Last One

To bring The Tottenham Way podcast to a close, Tom and Dan are joined by pod stalwarts Jim and Oly to review the season and generally disagree with each other over just about everything. We start with Pochettino's comments post-Leicester, and what it could mean for his future at Spurs. Do we expect a big summer? What, indeed, does a big summer look like to us? We talk leaving Wembley (hopefully...) and Kane normalising greatness. We rake over our pre-season predictions to see who was the most wr...

S3 E30 - Entertaining Rubbish

So, Watford was a struggle wasn't it? Here to discuss a game that Dan - incredibly - found 'entertaining', is Sky Sports and The I journalist Oliver Young-Myles. Important to reverse the slide and get Kane back among the goals, but in a wider context another 5 point buffer over Chelsea in the race for top 4. What was the key to winning the game? Simply Kieran Trippier? Some Dembele and Dier chat, Lloris, Poch and West Brom to finish it all off. Getting closer. COYS...

S3 E29 - Pain, Kane, and Going Again

This week, this horrible, heartbreaking week, it's an El Classico, with just Tom and Dan left to pick themselves up and go over Tottenham's eighth FA Cup semi-final loss in a row. We went ahead, but it still wasn't enough. Why? And when will this ridiculous run end? Pochettino's alarming post-match comments, plus his team selection, get analysed, before we go on to talk about the remarkable treatment of Harry Kane from an authority who should be protecting him. Some Watford talk. Some soul-searc...

S3 E28 - Hats

This week, Dan and Tom are joined by Pete Starr, Head of Content at MatchPint.co.uk and Man United fan ahead pf the massive semi final at Wembley on Saturday. We discuss the uncomfortable Manchester City title win after their worryingly simple victory over Spurs at the weekend, and wonder what both clubs need to do to come close to them next season. As for the game itself, well, we gloss over some stuff. Brighton and the PFA Team of the Season are mulled over, before we get down the semi final c...

S3 E27 - Kane's Firstborn

This week, Tom and Dan discuss Harry Kane's insatiable search for goals, epitomised by his claim for our second goal against Stoke this weekend. We talk about our whipping boys from the Potteries, plus some Dembele metaphors and Toby talk. Little bit of City, and our decent record against them, and some overview of our season at Wembley as it draws ever closer to an end. Top 4, Trippier, Pep, Sane, and some Kyle Walker. COYS.
