The optimism around Tottenham is unlike anything we've felt for years... but should we actually believe it? This week the lads discuss Xavi Simons' brilliant interview, why everyone at Spurs suddenly seems to be talking about winning titles, and whether Roberto De Zerbi is changing the mentality of the entire football club. We also get into Romero's expected departure, the excitement around Luca Williams-Barnett, the transfer strategy, Savinho, youth sales, and ask the big question: if the window closed today, where would this Spurs side actually finish? Plus there's a Lewis Holtby quiz, plenty of Reddit questions, and the usual descent into absolute nonsense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Cover art was shot by the wonderful Frederikke Jensen who kindly allowed us to use her work. Spurs take a point at home to Leeds, and somehow that is only the second-worst thing to happen to Flav this weekend. The lads pick through another deeply uncomfortable night in N17: Mathys Tel’s brilliant goal, his controversial high-foot penalty incident, VAR once again sucking the joy out of football, and James Maddison’s long-awaited return reminding everyone exactly what Spurs have been missing. There’s also huge praise for Kinsky after two outrageous saves, a nervous look at the relegation run-in, and the usual emotional spiral about whether Tottenham are actually going to survive. Flav suffers a personal disaster on the sofa, Ricky explains the terror of West Ham’s remaining fixtures, Jack flirts with Premier League conspiracy theory, and the NordVPN ad read goes somewhere no sponsor could reasonably have expected.

There’s a bit on the “agenda” chat too: not because we think there’s a conspiracy, but because the inconsistency and the Premier League banter account nonsense is driving everyone mad.
