The Flying Hotspur

Ahoy all! Jack and André are back for a double whammy of commiserations, sighing, and other unhappy noises. Manchester and Newcastle have given Tottenham back to back losses in what seems like a long time. Your hosts look at both games, and why Spurs can't seem to get it together under Conte lately. They also unpack what the future may hold for the team, looking towards Champions League, and Bourn...

Consistency! Or a reasonable facsimile of. Spurs beat Frankie Lampard's Everton 2-0 with a game that had another formation change, and for the better. Jack and André talk about the game, whether the 3-5-2 is the best formation for what we have, the injury to Richarlison, World Cup prospects, and whether Spurs have found the form that'll give them the success they sorely deserve. Our hosts also pre...

Hi Everybody ! On this episode of The Flying Hotspur, Jack and André talk about the victories at Brighton and Frankfurt. More about formations, the rise of Ryan Sessignon, the audacity of Brian Gil. The ghosts of Lewis Holtby, and Sandro make an appearance, and there's talk about whether Spurs have what it takes to stay in the top four and if Harry ever has a rest.  Enjoy! © Popular Wheat Producti...

Hoy! André and Jack are back! Two games are discussed, the loss to Woolwich, and the draw away to Frankfurt. They rant, they rave, they attempt to figure out whether Conte is the right man for the job, how formations are a bit tricky, and whether this is the Spurs team to take everybody to the next level.  This episode was recorded before learning of the death of fitness coach, Gian Piero Vetrone...

After a slight delay, The Flying Hotspur is back on air with a chock- packed-full episode for ya! Jack and André get together to talk on last weeks Leicester game, if cheating has its place in football, the myriad of set pieces Spurs seem to keep on scoring from, formations and they cover the upcoming Woolwich game and the a transfer roundup (mostly) of incoming players. Enjoy!   © Popular Wheat P...

Droll, drab, sad, bad. Tottenham lose their first game since April but let's be honest, we had it coming. Jack and André discuss the poorness of the game, the postponement of last week, why Conte seems to enjoy being Conte, player's who aren't playing well (hint* there's a few), and they talk Leicester, London, Chicago. Enjoy! © Popular Wheat Productions intro/outro music - BLITZ - New Age (1981)...

Spurs' first Champions League game since March, 2020! A tedious 2-0 win against a tenacious Marseille side that just wouldn't quit. Jack and André speak on the game, the frustration of it, the positives of it, why Spurs still lack any kind of creativity in the midfield, what is Conte-ball really, and they gush about Richarlison. Enjoy! © Popular Wheat Productions intro/outro music by BLITZ - New A...

Well, well, well...Spurs come out and play against Fulham in a way that they definitely didn't against West Ham. Out on the front foot, concise, compact, creative, collected. Take away the last ten minutes or so and there's something there to build on. Jack and André get together and speak on both West Ham and Fulham. They blab about Richarlison getting his first start at Fulham, Kane's records, t...

Woah! Another three points, and an undefeated Spurs. It's been thirteen years since Tottenham began a season in such good form. Jack and André speak on a sit down for Sonny, Richarlson's wind up shit housery, Kane's form and whether he will actually be rested, Champion's League, and what to expect in the near future. Enjoy! © Popular Wheat Productions  into/outro music by BLITZ - New Age (1981) Tw...

Has a win felt as slightly concerning as this one, everybody? Spurs beat a five in the middle Wolverhampton, with Kane coming to the rescue. Sounds familiar? Well, maybe it's not as it seems? Jack and André speak on the game, whether this is growth or just Spurs being Spurs? So many question marks!  The gents go back in time to talk about a disgruntled Harry Kane, if we still need a creative mid-f...

Game 2! Was this another Battle of the Bridge? Not quite, but this was a great game for early in the season. André and Jack pour over the game, talk formations, about how Chelsea pretty much had the run of the green with Super Spurs coming out with a tough point to draw Chelsea 2-2. Special ranting about Jason Cundy, and  less than stellar punditry too. Enjoy! © Popular Wheat Productions intro/out...

OK! The brand new season is finally upon us here at The Flying Hotspur. André and Jack thank you for joining them. On this first episode for the 2022/23 Premier League season, Jack and André talk about the Spurs victory at home to Southampton, how the lineup from late May became much, much better, the future, and what friends of the pod (who happen to support other teams) think about Spurs' chance...

Welcome back to The Flying Hotspur podcast! André and Jack are back in house to begin a bit of research on what has made the Tottenham team of the 21st Century. This first part discuses the role Martin Jol made at the team. It seems that so many football journalists, and historians, seem to see Jol's Tottenham as the beginning of the "successful" period in Spurs history. We wonder if this is true,...

Post season pod!  With the end of the 2021/22 season up on us, André and Jack are trying to find ways to fill in the gap without resorting to "transfer business." So, they've decided to go in search of the elusive accounts at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Get ready for two guys trying to understand numbers, like 150,000,000, and what exactly goes behind those numbers, what it can do for Spurs,...

Finally, the 2021/22 season is over. The Spurs community couldn't feel any better. Jack and André couldn't feel any better, and that's the most important thing. The guys talk about a whole bunch of things, such as the Norwich game, Champions League, Conte and his future, Harry Kane and his numbers, and a rousing game is played in which you'll hopefully grab a piece of paper, your favourite writing...

One game. Just, one game away from Champion's League qualification. Spurs seem to be ready to take on a woeful, relegated,  Norwich on Sunday on what promises to be a nail biter. Jack and André speak on Woolwich's loss to a "wanting it more" Newcastle United, Spurs win, home to Burnley (and all the controversy which that entailed), how Tottenham got into this position with their recent run of form...

Ahhhhhh...a victory so sweet it'll leave nothing but cavities. Jack and André are back to relish an astounding victory by a woeful Woolwich Arsenal. It's not often, 39 years apparently, where a NDL has been so resounding. The gents talk on the game, the shitty ex-Arsenal players who don't think very much and get paid doing it, whether Kane would give his last penalty shot of the season to his good...

Woah! Spurs could have beaten Liverpool. Nobody saw coming a Spurs team up for such an important game, hungry to get something out of it, and to do the best defending this side of Seven Sisters. Jack and André speak on the draw, what it means for the North London Derby (which they also speak about), what it means for the squad as a whole, and supporting a team you don't play for. Enjoy!   © Popula...

Hi everyone! Jack is back! Exclamation points!!!! Anyway, Jack is back and speaking from the Mother Land, directly from the womb of football, you guessed it, England. André and Jack speak around the Spurs win versus Leicester, a much needed win by the way. But, really the guys talk about those pestering Conte rumours, the feeling that even if Tottenham win all their games its Thursday Night Footba...

Another disappointing result by a disappointing team.  No verve, no lust, no desire, just same old Spurs. André rides solo tonight and basically just complains in a microphone for as many minutes it takes to complain about the following; no changes to the squad until late into the second half (I'm looking at your Antonio), relying on a front three to do what a front five should be doing, a back fo...

Sad days. Brighton plays one of the better games of their season and it's against, Spurs! The nerve. On this episode of The Flying Hotspur Jack and André talk on the game, and what it takes to be a"big team." Meanwhile, André rambles on about what makes the difference (or doesn't make the difference) between Premier League teams monetarily, and the duo try and figure out whether Brighton were good...

40 minutes to save your life. Spurs when emphatically, 4-0, away at Villa with some casualties. Jack and André speak on the Villa game, run it down a few notches. They speak Conte-Ball and how lovely it can be. There's a lot of love for Sonny, his future at the club, and how well he can play when he's actually playing well. Your hosts also check out a top-four algorithm predictor because it gives...

After two weeks Spurs look like they've been playing together for years. 5-1 victory over a Newcastle team that thought they are bigger than their britches. Spoiler alert...they weren't. On this episode of The Flying Hotspur Jack and André speak on how the new signings have gelled together finely, back to scoring for the goal differential, and wing backs wing backs wing backs!!! Enjoy!   © Popular...

Back to back wins in what seems forever! Actually it isn't but it sure feels that way don't it? Jack and André are back to talk about both Spurs' victories over Brighton (2-0) and West Ham (3-1), another love in for Romero, the solid formation which is finally getting into shape. Will this team will ever win a Premier League title...ever, and the protesters desire to tie themselves up. Also, a sig...

Wow!!! 5-0 against a dire dire Everton. Jack and André speak on the win, whether it was an outlier, the cliché that "maybe we've turned a corner?" Nah...but we"ll see, won't we. They talk about Doherty, Sess, the upcoming "big game" against United and wax poetically about a horrible club who got their just desserts.
