Poddenham Podspur (Spurs Podcast)

How good (or not) are Tottenham Hotspur podcasters at predicting the future?
In this episode, I put predictions from Spurs podcasts under the microscope, looking at their calls during the opening weeks of the 2026/27 Premier League season. Which shows made the most accurate predictions? Which got things most spectacularly wrong? And which podcasters were the most positive about Tottenham?
I compare their prediction records with the implied probabilities from betting odds, the Opta supercomputer, and predictions from professional football pundits. Along the way, we’ll see how the different approaches stack up and whether the experts are actually any better at predicting football than the Spurs supporters behind the microphones.
Finally, I step back from the numbers to ask a bigger question: why do we make predictions about sport in the first place? What do we get from trying to predict something as inherently unpredictable as a football match and how much value should we really place on getting those predictions right?
This is a look at Spurs predictions, football forecasting, and the strange appeal of being confidently wrong about what happens next. COYS

Iain chats with Caroline Stefko of the N17 Women podcast about her passion for supporting and podcasting about Spurs Women. They discuss the growth of the women’s team, what it’s like covering Tottenham from across the pond, and the joy of following the club beyond the men’s game.
Caroline also shares her hopes for the future of women’s football fan podcasts and how independent voices can help grow the community around the women’s game.
Caroline writes about both Spurs Women and Spurs Men in her newsletter, Spurs Across The Pond.

Welcome to the most unnecessarily complicated way of deciding what you think about Tottenham’s summer transfer window.
This is a choose-your-own-adventure Spurs podcast, where every signing and every departure comes with a choice: listen to the case for, skip to the case against, or wander off down a completely different branch of the Tottenham Hotspur opinion multiverse.
I’ve taken the arguments, optimism, pessimism, tactical theories, red flags and transfer-window delirium from across the Spurs podcast universe and put them all in one glorious, deeply unreliable decision tree.
Like the signing? Listen.
Not convinced? Skip to the criticism.
With every decision changing your episode, there are roughly one quintillion possible combinations of Spurs opinions to make your perfect podcast. COYS

In this episode, I take another look at the Tottenham Hotspur podcasting and YouTube landscape: how many shows are currently active, how many have started or disappeared over the last two years, and what the numbers can tell us about the way the Spurs podosphere has changed over time.
There are more Spurs podcasts than you might think. But the interesting story isn't just the number that exist today, it's the content creation churn. New shows keep appearing, others quietly stop publishing and the overall shape of the podcasting community has changed considerably since the early days of fan podcasting.
I also look back at the effect of a certain worldwide disruption that started in 2020...
