Nice One Cyril

Spurs are currently operating like a drunk with a stolen credit card, and we are here for the chaos. From dropping £85m on a guy we only discovered was great after watching his YouTube video, to Sandro Tonali who was planning his romantic return to AC Milan before his medical.. Are we actually a serious squad now, or are we lumbering ourselves with a bunch of players who aren't up to the job? Reme...

The summer window is already driving us insane. We dive head first into the endless Tonali and Mateus Fernandes transfer circus - can't we just buy both and "stop mucking around"? We break down the never-ending Savinho saga, Antonin Kinsky’s brilliant redemption arc as our new number one - or is he? - and Djed Spence’s massive statement of principle at the World Cup. Plus, we unpack Vina's latest...

We're joined by absolute Spurs royalty, a man who doesn’t just know the history of this club—he practically built it. The ultimate captain, a club-record 866 appearances, and a man who lifted two FA Cups and two UEFA Cups in the lilywhite shirt: the one and only Steve Perryman . We sit down with a genuine Spurs icon to look at what true stability and leadership actually look like. And trust us, th...

The summer football drought is here - the World Cup being merely an American advertising opportunity - and we're fretting about all things Spurs. Micky van de Ven is playing left-back to accommodate a player we don't even own yet (and might not), we somehow have eleven centre-backs on the books, and Brighton are peppering us with a passive-aggressive bid for Vuskovic. Did the THST letter go straig...

We process the deeply conflicting news that Spurs leg-breaker-in-chief, Andy Robertson, is officially a Lilywhite. He's a nasty piece of work, but he's our nasty piece of work. Simon, Julie, Rob and Kev dive into the absolute chaos of the rumour mill, from the unconfirmed Senesi deal and the mythical Van Hecke "agreed terms," to Gary of Harlow's cognitive dissonance; Gaz, mate, if Harry Kane wants...

No boring 'End of Season Review' here. We all suffered that nightmare. Does anyone need reminding? Instead, Simon Lipson, the luxuriantly thatched Julie Welch, and the balding duo of Kev Acott and Dave Bradshaw hand out end-of-term grades from absolute shit to mediocre, and map out the impending summer chaos. Inside the Episode: The Squad Audit: Sorting the wheat from the chaff. Is Palhinha off? W...

Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Eady Hurley process the sheer, unadulterated ecstasy of Premier League safety. We break down a nerve-shredding afternoon at the Lane, Palhinha’s clutch winner and Kinský’s heroic late save. Inside the Episode: The RDZ Masterclass: How the boss played part-tactician, part-psychologist to save a sinking ship, and why the board must back him or watch him walk....

We break down the Chelsea fallout and examine what it means for our Premier League survival. How do we solve a problem like Richy and Muani? Will RDZ make changes for Everton? Will Solanke be back? Inside the Episode: The Romero Farce: Why are we celebrating a £250k-a-week captain for simply staying in the building? Plus, why Kevin Danso remains the man for the job. The Loan Churn: We look at the...

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 an...

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 excu...

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...

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 el...

*Impossible One 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 cl...

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 cante...

With Roberto De Zerbi imminent, we ask the tough questions here on Nice One Cyril: Is he a Poundshop Conte? What about the baggage, the tantrums, the flouncing out? And has he got decent hair? We discuss Ange revisionism and the board's troubling naivity. Plus Room 101 and our brand new and slightly pointless Guess The Ex-Spurs Player game. Loads more besides. Laughs, irreverence, therapy. Wit...

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 searchin...

Kevin Acott & Simon Lipson discuss: - The Atletico masterclass - Imperious Archie - Tricky Tel, rock-solid Radu, sparkly Simons - Bergvall back and firing - Forest six-pointer Quick therapy for Spurs fans. COYS THFC

Simon Lipson is joined by Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Lee Brown to pick through another very Spursy week. First up: the Atlético Madrid horror show , Kinsky's studless boots, Igor ’s icy touchline snub. Then a look at the gritty draw with Liverpool — signs of life, or just another brief flicker? With a huge game against Nottingham Forest looming, we ask whether Spurs can finally produce two dec...

Wolves won as many home PL games in a week as we’ve won since April 2025. Where's the next point coming from? Should we embrace relegation? Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Dave Bradshaw pick through the debris. The Red Card Club: Micky follows Romero into the changing room showers. Is his mind mush? Are the players scared by the scrutiny? Is there a mental health issue? The Great Esca...

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...

Simon Lipson and Kevin Acott discuss: - Gooners drubbing aftermath - Igor hinting at deeper problems - Porro, Danso back - will that help? - Conspiracy theories - Fulham Irreverence, dodgy predictions, therapy. COYS THFC

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 i...

Kev Acott and Simon Lipson discuss: - Spurs v Bottlers on Sunday - Igor's tactics and selection (not a clue) - Terry v VVD debate - Ledley was better than both - Poor old Brennan Therapy for Spurs fans. COYS THFC

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 Defen...
