For the first time in 2026, we’ve actually got something positive to talk about. We look back at Tottenham’s dramatic late equaliser at Anfield, Richarlison’s big moment, and why this point could matter far beyond just the table. We talk about the injury crisis, the performances of Sarr, Archie Gray, Danso and Tell, and whether there are finally signs of fight, belief and togetherness in this Spurs side. Plus, we touch on the fans, the atmosphere building around Forest, and whether this could be the result that gives us a chance.

We dip into the Patreon questions and end up covering just about everything: grim workplace toilet stories, Sunderland away loyalty point obsession, the need for Spurs fans to pull together for the run-in, and the brutal reality of more injuries at the worst possible time. We chat about the gap between fans and players, whether the dressing room is broken, the Nick Boucher stuff, the retractable pitch theory doing the rounds online, and whether winning in Bilbao was still worth everything that’s followed. Proper Q&A pod chaos, basically.

We look back at the chaos of Spurs’ defeat to Atletico, from Kinsky’s nightmare start and Tudor’s ruthless decision to hook him early, to the state of the pitch, Van de Ven’s let-off, and the wider mess around the club. There’s chat about culture, Levy, why Spurs keep collapsing in big moments, and whether this is the bleakest it has ever felt supporting the club. Somehow, despite everything, we’re still trying to work out if the tie is alive and whether there is any way back from the mess on and off the pitch.

With no game to ruin the weekend, we opened the floor for a full Q&A and it went exactly where you would expect: strange work stories, irrational Spurs superstitions, ticket price arguments, and a proper look at what relegation would mean for this squad. We talk about who stays, who goes, why so many of these players look checked out, whether Tudor has any chance of turning it around, and why the thought of Pochettino still gives us something to cling to.

We try to make sense of another miserable night as Spurs slide deeper into the mess, and honestly, it gets pretty bleak. There’s talk of panic attacks, lines in the sand, Van de Ven frustration, player accountability, whether Tudor is seeing something none of us can, and if there is actually any way out of this at all. It’s dark, it’s angry, it’s weirdly funny in places, and it’s probably the most honest reflection yet of what supporting Spurs feels like right now.
