A very giddy Tom and Dan are joined by Jim (@stylishriot) and Rich Arrowsmith to discuss the absolute dismantling of Stoke City in front of their own very angry supporters, who as it turns out actually think we're pretty good too. Without the aid of a running order (and yes, you can tell) we try and put into words just how good this team is. Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Danny Rose all get fawned over. Could we win the league having not led it any stage during the season? Has all but...
Apr 19, 2016•58 min•Transcript available on Metacast Just Dan and Tom this week, casting adoring glances at the weekend victory over Manchester United in which Lamela, Walker and Eriksen shone brightly and made us believe again (sort of). We discuss what has made Eriksen such a dynamic player, why Lamela misses from 3 yards but scores a beauty from 15, how great Dembele is, and all the other aspects of a glorious afternoon at White Hart Lane. Stoke is previewed as poorly as can be expected, despite the best efforts of Tom and his stats, and we div...
Apr 12, 2016•1 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan and Tom return after two weeks off and welcome Sean Walsh and Dan Rattigan on to discuss the weekend draw with Liverpool, following on from the International break where Spurs players featured so heavily. Did the break ruin our momentum, or did it just give our stars a different focus? We talk about our record-breaking Kane and how there are no longer any correct words to describe him. Lamela is missed. Rose is loved. Hugo is fawned over. Lallana is hated. United are previewed - would signin...
Apr 04, 2016•1 hr•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Tom and Dan are invited into the home of pod regular Adam Nathan, along with Ben Lewis who also makes his return. From the sofa, they discuss the already perhaps disappointingly long-forgotten Dortmund tie and what it told us about the squad, most notably the ongoing Bentaleb saga, and the weekend mauling of Bournemouth. Toby and Kane are gushed over, and we discuss how it would feel coming second to Leicester (spoiler: Adam gets VERY angry), plus the international break and Liverpool...
Mar 21, 2016•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan and Tom are joined by Katrina Law and Martin Cloake, co-chairs of the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust. They discuss the incidents outside the stadium in Dortmund which saw many fans crushed and pepper sprayed, and what the Trust are doing to make sure those responsible are held accountable. Aston Villa is covered, including where Kane ranks among the best strikers we've ever had (hint: it's very high), how bleak it must be to be a Villa fan right now, surfing flags, Lescott's n...
Mar 14, 2016•2 hr 36 min•Transcript available on Metacast A little bit on the side for you all as Dan records a special edition of The Tottenham Way on his way back from Dortmund, complete with pod regular Rich Arrowsmith, pod rival TehTrunk, and Mrs Trunk, Charlotte. While combating hangovers, fatigue and Spurs-related deflation, the four discuss Pochettino's lineup, Dortmund's brilliance and the very serious issues surrounding access to the ground beforehand. Stick with it for TehTrunk's post-apocalyptic dream, which sees Dan take over as Spurs boss ...
Mar 12, 2016•40 min•Transcript available on Metacast Just Tom and Dan this week, and they are left to pick over what could have been after a pivotal week in the title race. The North London Derby takes top billing, including the two sides of Lamela, Pochettino's substitutions, the possibly flaking defensive unit, and of course Kane's wonder goal, which deserved to be the winner. We also look closely at the West Ham defeat, preview Dortmund, and try to convince ourselves that there's absolutely no way we'll lose to Villa on Sunday......is there? Li...
Mar 07, 2016•1 hr 15 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan and Tom are joined this week by Oly Lister and Harry Sherlock, the latter back for yet another Arsenal review. We discuss the Fiorentina win and the resulting tie with Dortmund, plus ticket prices and what it might do to the increasingly excellent White Hart Lane atmosphere. Swansea is picked apart, including the performances of Christian Eriksen and in particular the match winner Danny Rose. Is he as important as anyone else in the squad? Oly and Dan argue, West Ham is previewed, and we get...
Feb 29, 2016•1 hr 15 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan and Tom welcome the return of Cath and Rosa, fresh off the plane from Florence having been present for the draw with Fiorentina. Ryan Mason's captaincy is discussed (as well as Rosa's hysterical meltdown when she found out), as well as if we think a draw is a decent result, Alli being a bit of a nasty b-word and do we really care about the Europa League (we do)? We unfortunately then move onto Palace and in particular, the supposed fall from grace of Nabil Bentaleb. Listeners ques...
Feb 22, 2016•1 hr 4 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan and Tom are joined by the returning Kev (@bankruptspurs) to work out just what on earth is happening at Tottenham Hotspur right now. We discuss the weekend win at City and the title race, Danny Rose being a right little tinker, Pochettino being a right little thinker, Lamela, Eriksen, and much more. Listener questions are answered, including a desperate search through our collective memories to think of any dodgy refereeing decisions to hugely benefit Spurs. Hint: there haven't been many. CO...
Feb 16, 2016•1 hr 2 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, for episode 29 and not 30 as introduced, Tom and Dan are joined by writer and stand up comedian Joey Page to discuss the weekend win against Watford. Without the aid of a running order for the second week in a row, topics twist through Kieran Tripper, Kyle Walker, getting smashed by City, Lewis Holtby (for some reason), Heurelho Gomes and the social status of the guests we invite on. It's a little chaotic, but hey, talking about how great Spurs are gets boring doesn't it? No? #COYS...
Feb 08, 2016•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan and Tom host a free-wheeling episode of The Tottenham Way, with Rich Arrowsmith and Alex Brown returning to help guide the ship. Without the aid of a running order, the four mull over Kane's world class performance in the win against Norwich and what it means for the title race. We mug off Liverpool because it's funny, argue over what a volley is, continue the Pochettino love-in and discuss the closing of the transfer window. Watford is previewed as poorly as expected, and we answ...
Feb 03, 2016•1 hr•Transcript available on Metacast Dan and Tom are joined by Adam Nathan this week to discuss the weekend win at Palace, in particular the wonder strike from Dele Alli which is the best goal that has ever been scored. We discuss Pochettino getting subs right, our four fabulous full backs, life without Vertonghen and, to some extent, preview Colchester in the Cup on Saturday. We mull over whether Poch is the best manager of our lifetime(s), as well as our favourite touchline style; it's tracksuit Poch vs suited Poch. COYS.
Jan 25, 2016•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Tom rises from his death bead to regain the host's chair and pick the brains of this week's esteemed guests. Dan returns to normal duties, we welcome back Rich Arrowsmith from the Chelsea pod, and Phil (@SingleMaltSuds) makes his debut. They discuss the resounding response to the midweek loss to Leicester by working out how important Dembele was to the win against Sunderland and to the team overall, as well as the contribution of Christian Eriksen. Why does the Dane split opinion, and...
Jan 18, 2016•57 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan steps into the host's chair in the absence of a very ill Tom, and welcomes back Jim (@stylishriot) and Oly Lister to discuss the FA Cup stalemate with Leicester and what a replay will mean for our chances. The midweek Leicester league game is previewed and Oly is VERY optimistic about our chances. Dan asks the serious questions about Christian Eriksen, a potential tie with Colchester and what David Bowie song this Spurs team would be. #COYS #PrayForTom
Jan 11, 2016•1 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast For the first pod of 2016, Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Hayward return to review the Everton draw and in particular the performances of Tom Carroll and Dele Alli, plus what it all means for Nabil Bentaleb, who seems to be sitting on the Pochettino naughty step. We discuss the constant but essentially unavoidable flogging of an exhausted Harry Kane, the league and FA Cup double-header with Leicester, as well as what moment we'd love to have been present at. Happy new year. COYS.
Jan 04, 2016•1 hr•Transcript available on Metacast To round off 2015, Tom and Dan take a break from the pub to record in Dan's living room, discussing the Christmas victories over Norwich and Watford and the inevitable title buzz on the back of them. Are Spurs really in with a shout of winning the league, or should our ambitions remain within the familiar confines of finishing in the top 4? We also touch on Kane, Son and the emerging Tom Carroll, as well as Kieran Trippier's performance on his first Premier League start. Happy new year. COYS...
Dec 29, 2015•1 hr 5 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan and Tom are joined by Sean Walsh and Raph Harris to discuss Spurs getting back to winning ways against Southampton at the weekend. Not for the first time this season, the focus is on Kane, Walker, Lloris and Dembele, and the steely response to last week's loss to Newcastle. Raph tells us about the attitudes to Tottenham Hotspur in his native Brazil, which inevitably includes references to Sandro and Paulinho,who Tom feels particularly strongly about. We also preview the Christmas ...
Dec 21, 2015•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Tom and Dan are joined by the ever-excellent Jim (@stylishriot) and Oly Lister to discuss the disappointing loss to Newcastle at the weekend. But before any of that, Oly gives us the details of he and his 17 year old brother Barnaby's visit to Hotspur Way in midweek. Despite suffering from cerebral palsy, Barnaby has aspirations of becoming a football coach, and when the club heard his inspirational story they invited them both to see the players train, as well as meet Poch and his ba...
Dec 14, 2015•1 hr 8 min•Transcript available on Metacast After a very shaky start, Dan and Tom eventually get onto all matters West Brom, with added analysis from Alex Brown (@AlexOfBrown). We discuss the extension of the unbeaten run and what it really means, the form of Lamela, Son and Eriksen, and pick over the talking points before Monaco and Newcastle. Lots to discuss.
Dec 07, 2015•1 hr 14 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan and Tom are joined this week by Catharine (@curlycaff) and Rosa (@Rosa_la) to mull over the brilliant all-round performance against West Ham on Sunday. They pick over the individual contributions of Kyle Walker, Harry Kane, Dele Alli and of course Mousa Dembele, who Cath and Rosa never lost faith in. We preview Quarabag and Chelsea, debate what a crumpet is, reveal the not-so-secret love Rosa has for Ryan Mason and ponder what the future holds for Mauricio Pochettino; whether at Spurs or oth...
Nov 24, 2015•1 hr 5 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan and Tom are joined this week by Kev (@BankruptSpurs) and Adam Nathan (@adamdnathan) for another feature length special episode, this time on the reign of Andre Villas Boas. We discuss the difficult transition from the Redknapp years, the emergence of Bale as a genuine world class player, the 'Magnificent Seven' from the summer of 2013 and finally losing his job in December, leading to Tim Sherwood's appointment. Expect some fireworks.
Nov 19, 2015•2 hr 50 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan and Tom are joined once again by Oly Lister and Jim (@stylishriot) to discuss the (very nearly) gloriously perfect performance away at Woolwich in the NLD, in particular the performances of Kane, Dier, Alderweireld, Dembele and Alli. We analyse Kyle Walker's season so far, as well as preview West Ham (poorly) and answer listener questions as best we can.
Nov 09, 2015•1 hr 2 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Hayward kick things off with an exclusive interview with Martin Jol (yes, we were just as surprised as you are) before moving on to discussing Anderlecht and Bournemouth. We pick over N'Jie, Tripper and Dembele, as well as facing a Tim Sherwood-less Aston Villa next Monday.
Oct 26, 2015•1 hr 5 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Hayward are joined by Oly Lister and Jim (@stylishriot) to reminisce over the Harry Redknapp years, from the relegation fears of 2008 to the glorious nights at the San Siro in the Champions League. We discuss the brilliance of Bale, the Crouch goal against City, van der Vaart, Modric, Gomes, King and so much more. Relive it all - the good and the bad - all over again.
Oct 12, 2015•2 hr 39 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Hayward have been allowed out of the pub kitchen and are back to discuss Sunday's draw with Swansea, the Europa League game against Monaco last week and beating the hangover of Europe's secondary competition. We talk Eriksen's free kick magic, the heartbreak of Dier's suspension and the levelling playing fields of Spurs and Liverpool, a conversation which sees Dan compare AVB to a sad, fat loser from a terrible soap opera.
Oct 05, 2015•1 hr 5 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Hayward are joined once again by Harry Sherlock from Goal.com to discuss the NLD loss to Arsenal and subsequent pasting of Man City. We praise Eric Dier and Erik Lamela, while also looking at what sort of legacy the departing Franco Baldini leaves. Dan and Harry fight the corners of Rose and Davies respectively, and throughout the whole podcast we battle the loud humming of the ice machine we shared the recording space with.
Sep 29, 2015•1 hr 5 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Hayward discuss the wins against Qarabag and Palace, and hope for four victories on the bounce against the Scum™ on Wednesday's Capital One Cup clash at the Lane. They talk Dier (again), Alli (again) and the great start made by Heung-Ming Son. Also referenced: the well-publicised allegation mad against a certain dish-faced person this week. You know the one. #PigGate #BaeOfPigs
Sep 23, 2015•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Hayward return to discuss the much needed first win of the season against Sunderland on Sunday, plus Mason and his constant improvement, Townsend's return and Chadli's missing person act. They talk about the favourite Spurs goals they've witnessed and wonder if the Eastern European flautist using the function room before them actually existed.
