Tottenham opened the Champions League with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Villarreal. The lads unpack the performance, why it felt edgy without ever feeling in real danger, and what Thomas Frank has already changed. We talk defensive solidity, early-season teething in attack, the role of Palhinha, Champions League debuts, ticket pricing and atmosphere, and how the new league format affects jeopardy. Cautious football now, better football later. Wins help.

We debate Mathys Tel’s role up front, Romero’s dominance, and whether Palhinha divides opinion. Plus, we look at Thomas Frank’s adaptability, Spurs’ growing set-piece threat, and why this young side looks built for the future.

S15E15 - Moral Money, Minority Stakes, And Massive Pipes
We preview West Ham away, argue over who should start out wide, and dream on Xavi Simons and Kolo Muani. Tel divides the room. Ange returns with Forest and brings staff with him. Kane presents Jed Spence his England cap and we get a bit emotional. We tackle money and morals around potential Qatari investment and what ambition really looks like at Spurs.
