    David Bentley | Why De Zerbi is a RISK for Spurs & How OVERCOACHING is hurting Saka, Palmer & Foden!

    31/03/2026 | 1h 15 mins.
    This week Big Sam and Natalie Pike are joined by former Arsenal, Tottenham, Blackburn, West Ham & England midfielder David Bentley to discuss all things football from Roberto De Zerbi links to Tottenham and why overcoaching is ruining modern players.

    They start the pod by chatting about the time David snuck McDonalds into the England camp under Fabio Capello, why he loved his stint working with Sam at West Ham and how injuries ruined his hope of finding a new home at the hammers.

    The trio then discuss in detail England's recent game against Uruguay, David then explains how he knows how Ben White feels after the defender was booed by England fans, why Thomas Tuchel was harsh on Harry Maguire and what England are missing if they're going to win the World Cup.

    Sam & David then discuss the news that 11 Arsenal players have withdrawn from international duty, how David lived up to the early 'New David Beckham' comparisons and how his son helped him rediscover his love for football after retiring at only 29 years old.

    They then talk about the issue with overcoaching in modern football before taking a deep dive at Tottenham's season including why Roberto De Zerbi might not be a good fit for Spurs, why Tottenham need a man manager & how Big Sam would save Spurs if given the chance.

    Finally we end the pod with quick fire questions including players arriving to training via helicopter and Big Sam responds to Massimo Ambrosini's recent interview quotes.
