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?

Mar 09, 2023•46 min•Transcript available on Metacast Fan and former host Tom Hayward joins Marcus Buckland, Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Allnutt to pick over the grimly familiar FA Cup fifth-round defeat at Bramall Lane and discuss why Spurs consistently fail in these games.

Mar 02, 2023•51 min•Ep 6•Transcript available on Metacast Marcus Buckland and the Evening Standard's Dan Kilpatrick interview former Spurs midfielder and assistant manager Gus Poyet, who was in the dugout the last time the club won a trophy: the 2008 League Cup. Gus talks his "naivety" at joining Spurs from Chelsea as a player, why it all went wrong for him and Juande Ramos, and what he told the club after being sacked. Plus, Tom Allnutt of the Times and Tom Barclay join, as the panel discuss Emerson Royal and Heung-min Son's performances against West ...
Feb 22, 2023•55 min•Ep 5•Transcript available on Metacast Marcus, Dan and Tom Barclay talk about Son Heung-min and what's really behind the striker's dip in form.

Feb 17, 2023•39 min•Ep 4•Transcript available on Metacast Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Spurs reporters Dan Kilpatrick, Tom Allnut and Tom Barclay, plus fan Lucy Jones for a Harry Kane special.

Feb 02, 2023•59 min•Ep 2•Transcript available on Metacast In the first episode of the rebooted podcast, host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick, Tom Allnutt and Tom Barclay for a Hugo Lloris special. After a brief discussion of this week's big talking points, including Harry Kane's contract, the mounting pressure on Daniel Levy, Fabio Paratici's ban from Italian football and the win over Fulham, the panel holds an in-depth discussion on Lloris. The goalkeeper's form has nosedived since the World Cup but is it the result of an inevitable declin...
Jan 27, 2023•55 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan and Tom record a quick season review to cover Amazon, COVID, Jan, Dele, and transfers. Enjoy the summer
Aug 02, 2020•55 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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....
May 03, 2020•1 hr 6 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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 ...
Apr 08, 2020•57 min•Transcript available on Metacast The world is on fire. We will see Tottenham play football again. Tom and Dan return.
Mar 31, 2020•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast So here it is, VARry Christmas... Another year, another Tottenham Way Christmas Quiz! Expect all the same trivia, competitiveness and pathetic arguing of the following children: Cath (curlycaff) Billie T Jim (@stylishriot) Oly Lister Seann Walsh and Dan Kilpatrick Hosted by Tom Foins and produced by Jim Donaldson. Merry Christmas.
Dec 23, 2019•1 hr 17 min•Transcript available on Metacast Yes, your eyes do not deceive you, we are back for one night only to bring you the Tottenham Way Christmas Quiz 2018. Tom and Dan welcome back some podcast stalwarts to battle it out for the title of Quiz winners of the year; Dan KillyP with Sean Walsh, Oly Lister and BillieT, and Caff (@curlycaff) and Jack (tehTrunk). We have have 5 round to get through, with some bonus material in the middle where we catch up on all things Spurs, whilst getting steadily more and more drunk throughout. The last...
Dec 28, 2018•2 hr 34 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
May 16, 2018•1 hr 5 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
May 01, 2018•53 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Apr 23, 2018•58 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Apr 18, 2018•1 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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.
Apr 09, 2018•54 min•Transcript available on Metacast To discuss the mere 28 years, 1 month and 23 days since our last victory at Stamford Bridge, Tom and Dan are joined by Liam Twomey, ESPN's Chelsea correspondent, graciously willing to go over the event we all thought we'd maybe never see again. It's finally happened, and we have Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen to thank for the most part, but how has it taken so long, and what does it mean to have finally got this significantly sizable monkey off our backs? We talk about what it means for the top...
Apr 03, 2018•1 hr•Transcript available on Metacast El Classico this week, Tom and Dan picking over the FA Cup quarter final win over Swansea which paved the way for our semi-final meeting with Man United. Do we consider Wembley as an advantage, having spent what feels like an eternity getting over the 'Wembley Curse'? And what can we expect from Mourinho? Swansea is reviewed, with attention paid to Vorm, Eriksen and Lamela, with a little touch of Sissoko, who apparently Firmino loves. Don't ask. Some chat on season tickets again, plus Shaw vs Ro...
Mar 19, 2018•52 min•Transcript available on Metacast El Classico this week, just Tom and Dan to talk through the gutting Juventus loss and what it means for this developing team. We start with Kane's injury though, and what changes will need to be made to accommodate his absence from the side. Juventus is covered, including the little tricks that Spurs will have to learn along the way if we are to ever compete at the same level. Kane's injury left room for Son to shine once again, and we wonder why he's exploded this season, and our prospects with...
Mar 13, 2018•50 min•Transcript available on Metacast Tom and Dan are joined by Greg Lea, writer for The Set Pieces and Crystal Palace fan to discuss the scrappy, late and important win at Selhurst Park this weekend. Kane's numbers grow, Aurier can't take a throw (three times) and Dier fills in perfectly, but it's Alli who we study at length, in light of Lineker and Shearer taking digs at his supposed diving. Is it a fair criticism? Will it affect him at all to have the label the rest of his career? Some Rochdale, before some important updates from...
Feb 26, 2018•56 min•Transcript available on Metacast Tom and Dan and are joined this week by Sean Walsh, our trusty Tottenham Way apprentice (and leading Tweeter) discuss Spurs going from a sublime 2-2 in Turin to a ridiculous 2-2 draw in Greater Manchester. We start with a discussion over which Spurs players, past or present, would most likely steal a taxi in Barcelona, before moving on to the stunning draw at Juventus, including what it means to be 'new Spurs'. Pochettino's love for the Champions League, Italy's press gunning for Davies and Auri...
Feb 19, 2018•56 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan is in Turin ahead of our Champions League Round of 16 first leg tie against Juventus so Tom is joined by pod regulars Oly and Rosa, here for their first ever joint podcast. We have to start with the Derby and the dominant display that should have yielded more than the 1-0 win we came away with. Dembele ran the show, and we wonder if he's ever had a better 10 days in a Spurs shirt. Kane and his legendary status, Davies and his huge improvement, and Lamela taking Wilshere for a walk...
Feb 12, 2018•57 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Tom and Dan have invited back George Baggaley, the salty Liverpool fan we brought on earlier in the season, and Conor Mummery, Mirror Football Social Media Editor, to discuss the pulsating and controversial draw at Anfield. We discuss penalties, Salah, Dier and the weird diamond, and Poch in the big games. Wanyama's piledriver. Kane's balls. We briefly touch on Newport before moving onto the North London Derby, with a new-look Arsenal rolling into Wembley. A big week is about to get b...
Feb 05, 2018•1 hr 2 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week, Dan begins with the absurd revelation that he watched The Two Ronnies for the first time ever, much to Tom's disbelief. We move onto Lucas Moura, our new signing who Poch has said we shouldn't expect much from straight away. How true do we believe this to be? We do actually talk about football, and the outstanding win against Man United at Wembley. Kane, Trippier, Son, Eriksen and Dembele are all bigged up, and we discuss the kick-off routine that led to our opening goal after 10 seco...
Feb 02, 2018•56 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan and Tom pick over the bones of our 1-1 draw with Southampton at St Mary's on Sunday - a trip that started badly when Dan tried to catch an imaginary train. The squad was hit by the flu during the week - leaving Eriksen and Lloris incapacitated and unable to play - and while Pochettino may not be using it as an excuse, should we be? How damaging to our Top 4 hopes was the result? And how far is the Sissoko hate really warranted? Thoughts turn to Newport, and a chance to progress in a competit...
Jan 22, 2018•54 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dan and Tom are joined by Jack Rosser, Spurs correspondent for Evening Standard online and Southampton fan, here to discuss the upcoming fixture on the south coast. It's been 5 years since Pochettino first turned up on these shores as a relative unknown at St Mary's, so we start with a look at his half-decade in England. Did Jack think he would ever be as successful as he has been? We talk loans for Nkoudou and Edwards, as well as Carter-Vickers returning from Sheffield United. Everton reviewed,...
Jan 17, 2018•1 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast Here we are, back for the first episode of 2018 after our Christmas breaks. And what a Christmas period it was for Spurs. First port of call is the FA Cup, where Dan is fresh from attending and keen to discuss a few talking points, such as Kane, Sissoko, Llorente, Foyth and Son. Of course, Vertonghen getting back amongst the goals also comes up. We go over the busy week that saw us face Swansea and West Ham in quick succession, and where the period leaves us going into the new year. Bit of chat ...
