It wasn’t the Villa masterclass but, in the cold light of day, it might yet be the point that saves us. We’re diving into the manic, slightly misdirected energy of the Leeds draw, Antonin Kinsky’s physics-defying heroics, and why our frontline has the cutting edge of a butter knife.Inside the Episode:The Tel Paradox: Scores a worldie then attempts aogic-defying defensive acrobatics. The Snail and the Ghost: Richy and Muani offered as much threat as a pair of toddler’s safety scissors. We break down the dismal bluntness of a frontline that seems to be running in quicksand.Pointless Spite: A 22k-follower account wanted West Ham to win just to spite Arsenal? We discuss why prioritizing Goon hate over Premier League survival is a one-way ticket to a head-wobble.Room 101: We bin the "sacred" plastic badge on the floor and re-admit Lange and Vinai.Feet of Clay: This week it’s Edgar Davids, Gareth Bale and Lucas Moura. With Simon Lipson, Julie Welch and Lee BrownCOYS THFC

We’re breaking down a surreal afternoon at Villa Park where Spurs didn't just win, we actually played football.In this episode:The Stand-outs: "Three-Lungs" Gallagher’s relentless engine, VDV’s return to godhood, and the surprising silkiness of the Bentancur-Palhinha pivot. RDZ's "Miracle" Speech: We discuss Roberto’s rallying cry to silence the "negative inner voice", avoiding medical team excuses, and how beating Villa would not be a miracle.Integrity or Insult? Was it a "lame surrender" from Villa, or are we finally seeing the brand-saving potential of players in the right positions playing with belief and confidence? Danso vs. Romero: We ask if Kevin Danso’s calm intelligence and brute strength are exactly what we need for the run-in, as opposed to the cultured chaos of Cuti.Transfer Cobblers: Sifting through the Robertson rumours; Vicario-to-Inter "agreement"; and why are we being linked with an out of contract Bournemouth player?Plus: A trip to Room 101 for Joachim Löw's nasal habits and our search for the very essence of Spurs.Next up: Leeds. If we win, dare we utter the S-word?#COYS #THFC #NiceOneCyril

We started with 30 minutes of actual football and ended with a casualty ward and a goal so ugly only a mother could love it. But, hell, it's three points! On the Menu:The Injury Curse: Solanke out, Xavi out. Is the medical team to blame (spoiler alert: no), are refs letting opponents turn our boys into mincemeat, or is something else at play? The Muani Hill: RDZ is prepared to die on it, but we’re ready to move to Tel Mountain. We break down the Mathys Tel necessity.Kinsky’s Redemption: From the Madrid nightmare to a masterclass of composure and brilliance at Wolves.

It's all here.With Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and cat-loving Stephen Pollard.COYS

Spurs looked like a real football team against Brighton, led by a midfield that actually did its job and a Xavi Simons masterclass. But between Pedro Porro’s positional amnesia, the threat of a Flappy return and the ongoing Muani mystery, we’ve still got plenty to moan about.Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Dave Bradshaw join Simon Lipson to deep-dive the pros and cons of our performance and so much else. We look into our passing problem, why digital wayfinding is just what we needed at this difficult time, and the goons make it to Room 101 (not a moment to soon). As does...Pat Nevin. It'll all make sense. Honestly.Irreverence, analysis, laughs, therapy.Let's get into it!COYS THFC

*ImpossibleOne point from twenty-four, a squad that treats a football like a live wasp, and a new manager already looking crestfallen. We dissect the Sunderland disaster, ponder the Muani prank, revisit Lange’s January negligence and ask why Richy connects with the ball with all the thudding authority of a polite cough in a library. We also dive into the Romero riddle: were those tears for the club, or just the realization that his knee may have sabotaged his World Cup? RDZ has inherited a flooding building and brought in new coaches to try and fix the plumbing, but is it just too late?With Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Eady Hurley.COYS THFC

Is Roberto De Zerbi a tactical genius or the world’s most expensive flight risk? This week, we dive into the Italian’s arrival at N17 — bringing high-energy Rondos, a fiery temperament and a salary that laughs in the face of the club's £831m With only seven games to save the season, we ask: will he stay if we go down, or will he flounce out the moment he spots a carton of UHT milk in the canteen?Also in this episode:Financial Fair Play-ish: Digging through the £94.7m loss—where did that "£100m war chest" go?The Mikey Moore Mystery: Why was the club quieter than a library about his health issues?Academy Watch: Are our loanees "desperately average" or just resting?The Art of the Text: Kev’s guide to the "Calculated Mock"—when exactly is it safe to ruin a friend’s weekend?Plus, we induct the "USA-isation" of football and the phrase "I was today years old" into Room 101.Featuring the legendary Julie Welch, the eternally miserable-yet-optimistic Kev Acott, and actor and wannabe social media star, Lee Brown COYS.

Plus Room 101 and our brand new and slightly pointless Guess The Ex-Spurs Player game.Loads more besides.Laughs, irreverence, therapy.With Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Rob White.COYS THFC

Just when we thought it was safe...Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Barry Graham talk “nothing” goals, baffling substitutions, Porro’s positioning, Romero’s shuffling and whether Micky has lost a yard.There’s also the small matter of the pre-match hype and whether it iserved only to heap pressure on the boys and inspire the opposition. With 30 points from 31 games and Igor still searching for a league win, this has to be the end of his tenure. Surely?Room 101, a Churchill impression, a cod-Scottish accent (and a real one) and loads of passion.Bleak, baffled, but still here. Therapy for Spurs fans.COYS THFC

Kevin and Simon with their visceral response to the horror show against Palace. Do the players care enough? Are they trying? Igor fitting square pegs into round holes again. Is there a way out?It's straight from the heart. #COYS #THFC #TTID #Spurs

This week we attempt to deconstruct 90 minutes of absolute vapidity. From “Flappy” launching a free kick into the Thames to Gallagher’s invisibility cloak and Solanke playing so deep he was almost buried. Host Simon Lipson is joined by f-bomb flinger Julie Welch, eternal optimist-with-a-funeral-face Kevin Acott, and Spurs support group debutant Peter Willis.On the agenda:The match: a study in nothingness.Tel and Richy tried.

This week, we dissect the 4-1 mauling that felt less like a NLD and more like a roadside accident.Who played well? Tough one. Who didn't? Easier. Igor's fiirst match in charge was like Thomas's last. Plus ca change. But he's got a whole 11 games to put things right.Was Micky being disrespectful again? Have the players subconsciously downed tools? Why should they put their faith in a journeyman firefighter?More Room 101 to lighten the tone, plus some intensely stupid tweets to feast on.Simon Lipson hosts Spurs journalistic legend Julie Welch, and Rob White, son of Spurs footballing legend John.

Enter Igor Tudor: a man with 11 jobs in 12 years and a no wingers policy. But he's a chaos specialist. So is he the right man at the right moment? And will he stay if we win every match including the Champions League? Stranger things.We bid a tearful farewell to John Heitinga after an era-defining four-week stint, and examine Igor's team of hatchet-faced henchmen.Also:The Penguin Defense: We consign "hands-behind-the-back" defending, amongst other things, to Room 101.

So Frank has finally been given the chop.

For 29 minutes, we actually looked a bit like a football team. Then Cuti Romero decided he’d seen enough. With Udogie hobbling off and the squad down to nine fit first-teamers (is that right, Cuti?) we’re officially in "looking over our shoulder" territory. Inevitably the Poch rumours are back. We discuss the likelihood and desirability.Also in this episode:Flappy: Letting in a trundler before turning into Gordon Banks.

It’s messy, it’s petty, and it’s very Tottenham.

The City game was a tale of two halves: pathetic to dynamic, chalk to cheese. Was the formation shift down to Thomas Frank’s genius or forced by injury? We break down the "moral courage" of Xavi Simons, praise 'man possessed' Palhinha and a veteran-style shift from Archie Gray, and look into the "Giant Redwood" that is Flappy in goal.Inside this episode:The Solanke Saviour: Even an atheist can thank God for that goal.The 75-Minute Walkout: Principled protest or utter nonsense?Twitter Jury: We shred the week’s most idiotic tweets Room 101: Binning off "we go again" and other footballing sins.Stat or Fiction: Did VDV really drive home in his kit before the final whistle?Man Utd Preview: Which Spurs will show up—the Chalk or the Cheese?Strap in.

Another easy ride?With Kev Acott and Simon LipsonCOYS THFC

Burnley: missed chance or gritty point? Either way, we didn’t end their miserable run, so… progress? We dig into the numbers (not boringly, promise) and explore whether our best attackers are also our biggest problem. Plus: Odobert shows promise, Tel gets messed about again and Gallagher’s written off before he’s unpacked. Transfer chat goes suspiciously quiet, ITKs come up empty and we ask whether it’s possible to hate Arsenal too much ahead of City.Strap in. It’s Nice One Cyril.

We're thrilled to welcome Mike Leigh from the brilliant Spurs Show podcast to Nice One Cyril. He and Simon Lipson discuss:- The Dortmund miracle- Muani downing tools- Thomas Frank's gabbling- Transfers- BurnleyAnd lots more besides.#COYS #THFC

Home defeat to that useless lot. Frank said we were “close to something very good.” Romero called it “a disaster.” One of them is right.We cover baffling tactics, Tel hooked and dumped from the Champions League squad again, Bissouma’s return, Ben Davies’ brutal injury, and the eerie silence from the hierarchy. regarding a failing manager. Where's Levy when you need him? Dortmund with half a squad, City, United, Newcastle, Arsenal coming up. It's not getting any easier;⚠️ Slightly shorter episode this week after we discovered, during the edit, that Lee Brown’s microphone had gone full Norman Collier., so we had to can him. Shame, he was bloody good. Nice One Cyril.

Kev and Simon chat about Gallagher, sift through the latest transfer noise, the club’s ever-expanding executive org chart, and ask why Ange’s name still won’t go away.Also, who gives a toss about Gary of Harlow's wet dream Spurs line-up? Kev, as it turns out.Plus, would defeat to West Ham mean bye-bye Thomas?Irreverence, speculation, nonsense, therapy. COYS

Another home defeat, another first half we’d all like to forget. But...a much better second half against a good Villa team, which raises an awkward question: if we’re happy to blame Thomas Frank when it’s bad, do we give him credit when it improves?Simon, Julie, Kevin and Barry talk green shoots, player meltdowns, transfer gossip, Spurs superstitions, and why supporting this club feels oddly essential despite everything. Plus some great Spursy anecdotes.It’s Spurs. It’s confusing. It’s Nice One Cyril.

Simon and Kevin discuss:Another horrible capitulation to Bournemouth , Cupgate, players confronting the fans and the captain aiming a broadside at the hierarchy.Thomas continues to struggle - what's he trying to do?

* The away leagueSpurs win away while playing...not very well. We talk Palace, praise Danso and Archie, worry about Porro, and ask how a team can be top of the away table yet so dreadful at home. Frank gets pelters for diminishing out EL victory but Eriksen insists Thomas is The Man. There’s debate about one-footed footballers, modern players falling over too easily, shots from distance becoming extinct — and we announce the winners of Julie Welch’s book for the best Spurs story. As ever: mildly baffled, oddly optimistic, and deeply Spursy.COYS THFC

In this episode of Nice One Cyril, Simon Lipson and Kevin Acott dive into the madness of the ITK economy (Fabrizio says…what?), ask what “Big Club” actually means and whether Spurs really count, and confess whether we’ve ever judged a new Spurs player after one touch. Plus quick predictions for Palace. Therapy, nostalgia and mild delusion, as ever.

Two red cards, a rogue referee and just enough fight to leave us feeling… optimistic?We talk Thomas's tactics before and after the chaos, Kudus hitting the wall, Vand de Ven breaking things and Romero being Romero.There’s anxiety about Palace, questions over Brennan, rumours flying, obscure player google searches already underway. Plus — the eternal search for that special Spurs player, Xmas madness in 1990 and Kev's favourite Spurs season.

No matches this week, no defeats — which already feels like progress.In this Extra Time edition, Simon Lipson and Kevin Acott wander off the touchline and into the Spurs psyche. The moments you knew were coming and the ones you didn’t. The players we defended far longer than logic allowed. And does a player have to “bleed Spurs” for it to matter? Did Kane? Bale? Loose, funny, mildly philosophical Spurs therapy — designed to warm you up for the main show.

In this episode of Nice One Cyril, Simon, Julie and Dave pick through a thoroughly deflating defeat at Nottingham Forest — just when Spurs looked like they might be improving. We ask what went wrong, whether Vicario’s form (and alleged Inter interest) is becoming a problem, and why there’s still no clear tactical identity on the pitch.There’s frustration at Simons being bullied, Kudus trying too much on his own, and substitutions that raised more eyebrows than hope. We also discuss Porro’s comments on Archie Gray, Thomas Frank’s “no quick fix” message, and whether patience is still a viable strategy.Plus: Sugar flirting with Klopp, Gooners predictably irritating new chant, Liverpool looming at the weekend, and the familiar feeling that Spurs have pulled the rug just as we’d started to stand up.Bleak, honest, and faintly amused — because what else can you be?

We look back at the Sparta Prague game and look ahead to Forest.Plus: what are the essential items you have to take to every match at the Lane, Spurs players who couldn't trap a ball - so many - and the unwritten rules of being a Spurs fan. With Simon Lipson and Kevin Acott.

This week on Nice One Cyril we somehow manage to cover both Spurs’ mini-resurrection and the end of civilisation as we know it. We break down the Brentford win — Xavi running the show, Archie Grey looking the part, actual energy, attacking and even Porro’s defence-splitting absurdist masterpiece of a pass. Spurs fans rank bottom of the Happiness Table… though Kev insists he’s now oscillating between optimism and full meltdown depending on the minute. Gary of Harlow wants Troy Parrott back (idiot), Bissouma’s laughing-gas debacle might have ended his Spurs career, and we squeeze in some Gooner-baiting before previewing Sparta Prague. It’s football therapy. It’s nonsense. It’s Spurs. Enjoy.

Dave's internet went to hell, so it's just Simon prattling on for 10 minutes about our not too bad performance against Newcastle, performative footballers, booing our own players and pondering whether football is fun any more. Plus a quick look at the Brentford match. Some memories, some vaguely amusing jokes, no impressions.

Spurs lose the “worst away team vs worst home team” showdown, and the pod is in full post-Fulham therapy mode. We dig into the baffling Bergvall bollockings, and the booing of Vicario — plus Thomas Frank’s weekly insistence that we “believe” in something none of us can actually identify. We talk heroes, lost connections, why football feels less fun, and whether Spurs fans are just over-sentimental…or not sentimental enough. There’s nostalgia for Harrys Redknapp and Kane, confusion over Udogie, and mild despair about what comes next. Bleak humour, honest moaning, accidental insight — classic Nice One Cyril.

Welcome to Nice One Cyril: Extra Time — the shorter, sillier mid-week top-up pod you didn’t ask for. Less tactics, more nonsense. Minor rage, daft joy, questionable optimism, mushy peas, dirty spoons, Crooks & Archibald. If the main pod is the match, this is the half-time pie and a pint. Dive in for 15 minutes of football-adjacent foolishness.

Another week, another Spurs performance so limp it should come with a doctor's note. Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Lee Brown and Barry Graham pick over the Arsenal debacle — no plan, no punch, no pulse — and ask whether the players don’t understand Frank’s tactics…or just don’t fancy them. Solanke’s out forever (probably), Richy only scores stunners he has no right to attempt, and the manager is now comparing us to under-12s. Lovely stuff. Plus: We moan about footballers' most irritating habits, discuss our upcoming victories against PSG and Fulham and throw in laughs, irreverence and nostalgia. It’s therapy. It’s masochism. It’s Spurs. And it’s all here on Nice One Cyril.e Cyril.

It’s North London Derby week when stomachs churn and hope and dread go head to head. The crew dive head-first into all things Spurs vs Arsenal. With injuries stacking up (ours, obviously), tactics in flux and Arsenal sitting annoyingly at the top, there’s plenty to worry about… and even more to laugh at. This week’s guest, Misha — an Arsenal tour guide who swears she’s a Spurs fan — brings a unique, slightly suspicious perspective on the rivalry. The gang also riff on the greatest footballer names, discuss Tony Galvin and poke at the eternal truths of supporting Spurs. Predictions, pessimism, optimism, therapy. Brace yourselves. With Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kevin Acott and Misha Mansoor.

In this episode of Nice One Cyril, Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Dave Bradshaw relive the joy, despair and sheer madness of that Man U match. Spursiness in all its glory. We ask whether Richy flashing his knockers undid us in the end. We look at Simons's improvement and Frank's game-changing substitutions. And, of course, we give Micky's wonder goal all the time and space it deserves. Plus😂 Is 'options' the new Spurs mantra? Or is it 'get rid of it'?💭 That fan who's always in your ear.💫 Empty seats. Gripes, laughs and a painfully honest look at the shared lunacy that makes watching Spurs what it is. Nice One Cyril. Therapy for Spurs fans.

It’s been another very Spursy week — defeat to Villa, a dreadful draw in Monaco and a comfortable(ish) win over Everton. Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kevin Acott and Lee Brown ask the big questions: Was Monaco the most exhausting 0–0 in living memory? Is Vicario brilliant or bollocks? And does Richarlison’s body language now qualify as an art form? There’s praise for Kevin Danso and VDV, mild panic over the double pivot, and cautious optimism about the team’s direction — all sprinkled with the usual laughter, gripes and nostalgia. Plus: ⚽ VAR favours us - finally! 🧠 Frank’s “aggressivity” obsession 😭 Simons's ongoing struggles 🎯 Predictions for Newcastle and Chelsea — optimism optional. Because at Nice One Cyril, hope isn’t a strategy — it’s a condition.

In this week’s Nice One Cyril, Simon Lipson, Julie Welch and Kevin Acott pick over another familiar story — Spurs losing at home. Vicario’s nerves, Odobert’s vanishing act, and Tel’s growing pains all come under the microscope, along with a few choice words about the flat atmosphere at the ground. We ask whether it’s still OK for the over-50s to belt out the chants, why today’s players crumble at the first hint of a twinge, and reminisce about the days when Dave Mackay shrugged off fractures like mosquito bites. There’s also a moan about the nightmare of modern stadium security and a look ahead to Monaco in the Champions League and Everton at the weekend. It’s therapy, nostalgia, and exasperation — all in one beautifully over-analysed pod.

This week on Nice One Cyril, Simon, Julie, Kev and Dave tackle the £100 million cash injection from the Lewis family — and try to work out whether it means new signings or, finally, the cheese room. We chat international duty (and the art of coming back injured), the eternal Vicario debate, the promise of young guns like Pape, Bergvall and Simons, and ponder where, if at all, a fit Kulusevski will fit into Frank's jigsaw. There’s a deep dive into Spurs’s long, proud tradition of scapegoats — plus the debut of our Whining Wankers XI, a team no one asked for but everyone recognises. Ralph Coates's combover is this week's special subject. It was a thing of beauty and a scientific marvel. We wrap up with a look ahead to Villa - a bit of cautious optimism, and the usual existential dread that comes with supporting Tottenham Hotspur. 🎧 Funny, nostalgic and mildly traumatised — it’s Spurs therapy.

This week on Nice One Cyril, Simon Lipson welcomes debut guest Barry Graham of Glasgow Spurs, along with Dame Julie Welch and Kevin Acott. The gang dissect the gritty but grim Bodo performance, the Leeds takedown, and query why some Spurs fans continue to diss the manager of a team sitting 3rd. There’s praise for Van de Ven, concern for Vicario and a heartfelt detour into the golden age of Scottish Spurs heroes. Barry rages about that abomination, the 8pm Saturday fixture, Julie ponders “engagement” tweets by the club’s social media team, Simon gets het up about idiots in Gail's and Kev recounts the burger van insult-thrower at the old Lane. It’s football chat with humour, hindsight, and just the right amount of despair.

In this week’s Nice One Cyril, Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, and Kev Acott deconstruct the Wolves debacle, address some fans' concerns that Simons is just Timo Werner with better hair, and grumble about buyout bollocks, Kane rumours and the eternal curse of Dr Tottenham. There’s nostalgia, rants about didactic tourists at the stadium, a look ahead to Bodo and Leeds, and whether optimism or pessimism is the right setting for Spurs fans right now. Warm, irreverent, and always a bit Spursy. Therapy, but with more swearing.

Comedian Simon Lipson is joined by butter-wouldn't-melt Julie Welch, ever-cheery Kevin Acott and Hollywood wannabe Lee Brown, one of whom says' wanker'. Several times. You'd never guess. In this episode, we discuss Villarreal and Brighton, the lack of oomph, striker dilemmas and Vic's concrete feet. We also examine the impact of Simons at number 10, the dynamics of the team under Thomas Frank, and the quirks of football culture, including which Gooners, if any, are tolerable? And is Glory Glory Hallelujah a bit shit? What other songs might we adopt? Also, is it ever ok not to wear socks with a suit? Plus predictions for upcoming matches against Doncaster and Wolves.
