We're back after a week off and boy is there a lot of football to get through! Join a full Plus Dave house as we cast our minds back to the ups and down of Spurs life, including matches with AZ Alkmaar, Crystal Palace, Man City and Aston Villa before turning our attention to upcoming clashes with Galatasaray, Ipswich and even Man Utd in the the cup! We bring you the usual blend of disorganisation,...

Tottenham's 45 minute crisis is over! A full contingent of Plus Davers bring you their thoughts on a perfect weekend for Spurs fans - with Spurs seeing to it that West Ham join Arsenal and Chelsea in tasting defeat. We talk about a brave and inspired half time change from Ange as well as the growing star of Kulusevski. There's the usual preview of upcoming games including Troy Parrott's AZ and Dr....

A painful reminder this week, to all who needed it, that we do still support Spurs - and Spurs, from time to time, do still do very Spursy things.  We hope you find this podcast slightly less painful, although make no guarantees, as an absent Elio leaves a 3-man team of Dags, Socs and Dave to cry/troll their respective ways through a breakdown of Tottenham's latest box office capitulation. There's...

What a win, what a performance, what a result. Spurs set all kinds of records as they dispose of a woeful Manchester United side in their own back yard - the only disappointment perhaps was only scoring 3 and not 8! A full team is on hand this week, all equally happy at the destruction of Man Utd, to break down all the exciting incident in an action packed episode. There is a predictable, extensiv...

Spurs are back to something close to their brilliant Angeball best, as the home side came back from a shock early goal to sail to a convincing 3-1 win, in one of our most encouraging performances in recent times. Dags, Elio and Socs form a Daveless Plus Dave squad this week to look back gleefully on all the highlights, before turning their attention to games coming thick and fast in the form of ou...

A streamlined Plus Dave Team brings you this week's episode - as the undisputed star attraction of the regular team (being of course the host, Dags) takes the week off, just in time to avoid having to feign positivity about yet another home defeat to Arsenal. This leaves Elio, once again, taking over the hosting microphone and doing an excellent job as he is joined by Socs and Dave. It is perhaps...

It's quiz time as the PDP turns 3! Join us in a feature length birthday special, where on top of previewing Sundays big game, Dave and Dags put the two cousins to the test in a North London Derby themed, 4-round bumper quiz extravaganza. It's Elio vs Socs for the ultimate glory - we have piles of questions, including many from some of you listeners, we have the spinning wheel of mayhem and last mi...

Oh Tottenham - why are you so confusing, yet mesmerising? Join a baffled trio of Plus Davers are we struggle to understand how Spurs managed to dominate yet another match without getting anything to show for it. St. James' Park holds its form as a Spurs bogey ground as Newcastle took all three points. In this show we look at what Spurs did well and the crucial missing pieces. We also have a look a...

Spurs have their first win of the season and Dags, Socs and Dave are here to bask in its glory, while Elio - birthday-buddy of big Ange Postecoglou - gets the week off to celebrate turning 30 something... Hear our thoughts on 4 lovely goals and a dominant 4-0 victory to open our home account with a bang, including our analysis of THAT assist by Micky, Spurs hopefully figuring out set pieces, inten...

The season is back! Spurs are back and we are back - join the regular 4 as we scrape the bottom of the barrel trying to take positives away from what can only be described as 2 dropped points, away to newly-promoted Leicester City. We pick apart a glorious opening 60 minutes, followed by a distinctly less glorious 30 or so. There's also our our usual look ahead to our next fixture - this time as o...

The season is nearly upon us - time to get excited, Spurs fans! To mark the occasion we had the great pleasure, once again, to be joined by tactics guru, Jon Mackenzie from The Athletic and Tifo Football. In this episode, Jon walks us through his assessment of year one under Ange Postecoglou and the challenges that stand before him as he heads into season two. There's pre-season analysis, a wider...

The Plus Dave Podcast returns! Join the usual team of Dags, Elio, Socs and Dave as they shake off the Summer rust and catch up for the first pre-season pod, to discuss a couple of new signings - including one that Dave knows very well - a couple of pre-season outings that have included some promising showings from academy stars, and a look ahead to the fast-approaching season. Explicit language wa...

Gimme gimme gimme a Spurs fan from Sweden! On the first of our Spurs Summer specials, we were delighted to be joined by the brilliant Simon Yemane (@SimonYemane) - one of the shining lights in the dark web of Spurs Twitter and a shining example of Spurs' legions of committed fans based overseas. Joining us from Sweden, Simon gives us his unique perspective on becoming a Spurs fan from afar, suppor...

Please join us for one more scheduled episode where we do our best to pack a whole load of chat into one feature length episode to wrap up the season. The full team is here to look back on the last two games - that bizarre match with Man City and all the surrounding subplot, the comfortable final day in Sheffield and of course our look over the season as a whole. We pick our player, goal, match, d...

Spurs finally win! A long-awaited stumble to the finish line sees Spurs all but secure themselves a spot in 5th and an automatic Europa League placing. With Dave off watching Leeds in the playoffs, us Spurs fans take a look back on a well-needed victory with a couple of goals from unlikely sources, before turning our attention to our 'title decider' with Man City and discuss the ethical dilemma it...

It's more pain for Spurs as two defeats leave us clinging on to that 5th spot. Elio rejoins the team to look at both the Chelsea and Liverpool losses and help work out what we can take from both performances and we take this opportunity to look at the larger picture and what these poor performances tell us about what needs to change for next season - as well as what positives we can pull from the...

Yes, it's the Arsenal one. Sadly, despite a wild 5-goal extravaganza, Spurs could not overcome their own shortcomings as a painful defeat to the enemy leaves us analysing our various issues. Dags, Socs and Dave are on hand to sift through the wreckage and look back on all 5 goals as well as countless incidents, controversies and a couple of good performances shining through the darkness. We also h...

(Part 2 of 2) Is Gareth back for a second half of our nostalgic 90s adventure? He is you know... Picking up right where we left off with the dawn of the Gerry Francis era and running all the way through to ending on a high with that second trophy of the decade, we hope you enjoy this second instalment of Spurs in the 90s with special guest, author of Is Gascoigne Going to Have a Crack - a new Spur...

(Part 1 of 2) We travel back in time this week as we are delighted to be joined by Gareth Dace, author of the brand new Spurs book, 'Is Gascoigne Going to Have a Crack?' a tale of the 'Magic, Mayhem and Mediocrity' that was Spurs in the 1990s.  In this two-part special, we take a trip down memory lane (as far as our young-ish memories will allow for some of us) and get stuck into a decade that hol...

Enough time has passed that we can look back over the Newcastle thumping without crying and look at it with a level head. Join a full team as we force ourselves to consider the big picture but also what weaknesses this performance illuminates with the future in mind. That future hopefully ends with Spurs finding a real rhythm under Ange but starts with the nail-biting prospect of welcoming recent...

Spurs go marching into fourth with a convincing victory over struggling Nottingham Forest and the full Plus Dave team is here this week to look back over it, taking great pleasure in discussing a number of great goals and moves and a win that puts us firmly in the driving seat for our Champions League destiny. We also have the usual look ahead to our next fixture - away at Newcastle as well as som...

Two games to look back on this week as the Easter schedule fills up. 4 points from 6 for Spurs as a win against Luton and a draw with West Ham see us in pole position for 4th place heading into the last couple of months of the season. Dags, Dave and Elio take a good look at both games, analysing a few performers who have been on the receiving end of criticism lately as well as the bigger tactical...

One whole solid hour of us talking almost exclusively about how much we hate Arsenal Football club.  Why? Because there was no game, the England match was boring and because we can. Clearly the dirty Woolwich scum live rent free in our heads after all! If you hate Arsenal too, please give us a listen and we hope you enjoy this unrelenting hate-fest.
