The Big Jon Bass Show - A Spurs Podcast

Season 1, Episode 18 of The Big Jon Bass Show — Spurs go to Villa Park and deliver a massive 2–1 win that finally feels like a real turning point. Jon reacts to an aggressive, high-energy performance where the press was relentless, the midfield of Bentancur, Palhinha & Gallagher completely controlled the game, and Muani finally showing his class. Richarlison stepped up with a brilliant display, the back four looked balanced and solid, and Kinsky’s distribution was top quality throughout. There’s still frustration at conceding late, some hilarious commentary bias along the way, but for the first time in a long time… belief is growing. Plus your questions from X.

Season 1, Episode 17 of The Big Jon Bass Show; we finally won… the first win of 2026! Relief all around as Spurs get over the line, but once again refereeing decisions take centre stage — a clear Solanke penalty ignored and a foul on Bissouma that should’ve seen red. There were positives: a huge Palhinha goal and a rare clean sheet, but it comes at a cost with both Xavi and Solanke now ruled out for the season. Jon breaks down what this means going forward as Spurs look to build momentum, with a massive test against Villa next. Plus your questions answered!

After months of frustration… is there finally reason to believe? Jon reacts to a devastating draw against Brighton that somehow leaves a sense of hope. If this performance is the new standard, Spurs might just have a chance. From a dominant midfield showing to standout moments from Simons, and a balanced take on Danso after a costly mistake, there are signs of life. But once again, poor refereeing raises questions at the worst possible time. With Wolves next and no excuses left, Jon maps out the run-in and dares to dream… could it really come down to a final day survival moment? Plus your questions from X.

Season 1, Episode 15 of The Big Jon Bass Show; another frustrating day as Spurs fall away at Sunderland. Jon breaks down De Zerbi’s team selection; no Tel, no Xavi and a game overshadowed by awful refereeing and yet another VAR mess, with Brobbey somehow escaping a red. With Romero now out for the season, could Danso be the unexpected saviour? With just six games left and Leeds pulling away, the reality is setting in… survival hopes fading and thoughts already drifting toward life in the Championship. Plus your questions from X.

Season 1, Episode 14 of The Big Jon Bass Show — is hope finally back? Jon reacts to Roberto De Zerbi’s first training sessions and the early signs that Spurs might actually have an identity again. Is it time to get excited, or are we getting carried away? Looking ahead to Sunderland, Jon breaks down what De Zerbi should do, who could thrive in this system, and what success even looks like right now. Plus a quick laugh at Arsenal slipping up against Southampton and your questions from X.

Season 1, Episode 13 of The Big Jon Bass Show — Spurs hit the reset button again with the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi… but is this the right move or just another gamble? Jon breaks it down in three parts: the football manager, the man, and what this really means for the club. From his high-risk style and whether this squad can handle it, to the off-pitch controversy and the reaction it’s sparked among fans. Is this about football, values, or just survival? Plus your questions from X.

Season 1, Episode 12 of The Big Jon Bass Show — from hope to humiliation. A 3–0 home defeat to Forest brings Spurs crashing back down, despite incredible fan support before kickoff that gave real pride. A decent first half undone by poor substitutions, shocking goals conceded, and once again no cutting edge up front. Jon asks the big question — why change a winning team after Atletico? And now, does Tudor already have to go? With a three-week break ahead, what can Spurs actually fix? Plus your questions from X.

Season 1, Episode 11 of The Big Jon Bass Show — signs of life at last? A hard-fought point against Liverpool feels like a win, with Richarlison leading the line and giving Spurs real belief again. Then a completely different performance in Europe — high energy, quality goals from Muani and Xavi, Tel shining, and Gray once again running the show. Even with more questionable decisions going against us, Spurs battled to the end in a 3–2 that feels massive. Jon asks if this is finally something to build on, before a huge trip to Forest where the message is clear: show up, sing up, stay up. Plus your questions from X.

Season 1, Episode 10 of The Big Jon Bass Show — another chaotic Spurs performance leaves more questions than answers. Jon reacts to a shocking game featuring the surprise Kinsky start, players slipping everywhere, and more defensive controversy as Van de Ven flirts with another red card. Solanke was one of the few positives, but the bigger question remains: is Tudor already under serious pressure? With doubts growing and the board unlikely to act, Jon asks whether Mason could end up back in charge again. Plus a preview of a huge test against Liverpool and your questions from X.

Season 1, Episode 9 of The Big Jon Bass Show — from watching Spurs in a pub in Amsterdam to another brutal reality check against Crystal Palace. Jon reacts to a terrible result that makes the unthinkable feel possible… are Spurs actually in a relegation fight? There were bright spots — Gray outstanding again, Tel and Souza showing promise — but serious questions remain over the tactics, including Porro in a back three and Gray pushed wide, while Van de Ven’s worrying run of form continues. With pressure already building on Tudor, Jon asks where the blame really lies. Plus the Champions League dilemma against Atletico Madrid, a tough Liverpool preview, and your questions from X.

North London Derby therapy session… Tudor’s first game in charge ends in a heavy defeat, but what actually went wrong? From a flat performance and familiar defensive issues to the Muani goal that should’ve made it 2–2 — and yet another soul-destroying VAR call. Jon breaks down whether this was just continuity from the old regime, who really carries the blame, and why this feels bigger than one manager. Plus a Fulham preview, your questions from twitter & Jon compares you all to a toilet bowl. #COYS

Frank gone, Tudor in. Jon reacts to the sacking, what finally cost him his job, and whether it should have happened sooner. What big Igor needs to do to make this a successful Interim job? With Heitinga out and pressure mounting on Vinai and Lange, is this a managerial problem or a deeper issue at the club? Plus a huge Arsenal preview and your questions from X. Spurs have hit reset… again.

Thomas Frank Has gone! After a frustrating defeat to Newcastle, serious questions have been asked. Disjointed performances, long balls to Solanke, no clear style of play, injuries piling up, and another defensive collapse after Archie Gray’s equaliser. Has Thomas Frank run out of ideas — and should he be sacked? Jon breaks down the game, the key moments, relegation fears, and your Twitter questions.

This week, Jon reacts to a chaotic draw against Man City, a frustrating first half, a much-improved second, and plenty of talking points. We break down Solanke’s big moment, Rodri’s antics, and why Gallagher and Xavi are starting to show their quality. A 2–2 draw that could easily have been more, and not a bad result considering a brutal run of fixtures ahead. We also look forward to United away, discuss momentum, injuries at the worst possible time, and wrap up with your listener questions from Twitter.

Why do Spurs look like a different team in Europe compared to the league? Plus Jon answers questions from X, looks ahead to a must-win trip to Burnley, and asks whether this result saves Frank — or just delays the inevitable. Finished off with this week's Bass of the Net.

Episode 2 of The Big Jon Bass Show breaks down a damaging West Ham result and asks why hasn't Frank gone yet?
