The Spurs Plus Dave Podcast

Happy birthday to the Plus Dave Podcast - as we turn 2 years old, we celebrate in this special episode by throwing all semblance of structure out the window - waving goodbye to anything remotely approaching intelligent, professional football debate and conducting ourselves with all the maturity you would expect of your typical 2nd birthday party. Rather than discussing movement in the transfer win...

Ahead of our 2nd birthday party special next week on Monday, Dags wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for listening and announce an exciting competition we are running to celebrate the occasion. To enter, please like and share our latest Twitter post (pinned to our profile), follow us @PlusDavePodcast and send in your best questions before Monday evening to be answered on the show!...

Five goals away from home against a rough bunch of Northern hard-arses led by the second coming of Pep? No problem - just another day in the office for Ange's superstars. Dave has his work cut out this week trying to keep a lid on our expanding optimism as the inevitable yet fanciful 'title challenge' chat rears its head. We look through a five star performance headlined by a hattrick from captain...

Spurs are good! Really really good. Dave takes refuge from a team of irritatingly high-spirited Spurs fans this week, fresh off the back of a promising 2-0 away win over a tricky Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.  With Dags returning as host after a Man Utd-hating retreat in Leeds, Elio and Socs join him in an immediate post-match review of a really encouraging performance taking Spurs (tempora...

With Dags away on a Plus Dave pilgrimage to learn the origin story of Dave, Elio is given far too much leeway in his hosting duties. We also bring some fresh blood just like Big Ange this time from the Man Utd fanbase to be ridiculed. Do Spurs actually feel like Spurs again? Is it possible, will the faith return? 

The season is back! A fully stocked Plus Dave team console themselves (except Dave who couldn't care less) over the departure of Harry Kane by looking back on our season's opener - an encouraging, albeit unpolished, display against a Brentford side many expected to cause us big problems. We take an in-depth look at all the key performers in a new-look side taking on its first competitive challenge...

Football is almost back! We're just days away from the start of the season, recording in the midst of a Harry Kane transfer storm - mere hours after it was announced Spurs had accepted a bid from Bayern, before rumours crept in that maybe Kane would stay? By the time you read/listen to this, who knows what may have happened! We talk new signings, pre-season games against Shakhtar and Barcelona, Ol...

We're back with more pre-season action! No special guests this week (aside from the always-special regular contingent returning once again). Thanks to Spurs we are never short on topics to discuss, chief among them of course being the ongoing and escalating Harry Kane saga and the wider topic surrounding the best way to handle it. Elio and Socs get into it, discussing their slightly opposing outlo...

For a second year running, Dags welcomes back recurring guest star and resident FPL expert, David Price AKA Pricey AKA the OTHER Dave - back to give us his best Fantasy Premier League advice ahead of the new season and to tell us how he became back-to-back Plus Dave Super League champion. We talk Tottenham player prices, most owned players, hidden gems, strategies, tough calls, top tips and more!...

The Plus Dave returns for a third season as regulars Dags, Elio, Socs and Dave are joined this week by an extra special guest - Tifo Football's own Jon Mackenzie! Jon becomes only the second Leeds fan to ever grace the show and joins to kindly help us break down an exciting Summer window for Spurs ahead of Big Ange's debut campaign as boss. Strap in for a feature length episode this week as we tak...

Welcome back listeners and welcome Big Ange Postecoglou! Just when you've had enough of Spurs, they make an exciting, if slightly divisive, hire to drag us all back to the sports pages and to drag our team back to the microphones. Join 3 of Ange's fellow Greeks and a Yorkshireman as we give our feelings on Tottenham's new manager, what we like, what should concern us, what shouldn't concern us, ho...

It's finally over - we get the sweet release of a Summer break as three very tired Spurs fans are joined by the only man more fed up with football: a Leeds fan called Dave. In this season finale, we look back at how Spurs decided to show up the one time we didn't want them to and sealed Leeds' fate as a Championship club next season and we talk about what Spurs need to do to avoid joining them the...

We are in the endgame now. As the season's end and El Dávico draw nearer and the Levy Out chants grow louder, we look back on our latest disappointment, bottling a strong first half performance against Brentford in our last home game of the season. We can always rely on our red and white neighbours to out-bottle us though and with the maths finally confirming the ultimate collapse, we rejoice in t...

Regular host Dags takes a well-timed holiday to spare himself the constant pain of following Spurs, leaving Elio, Socs and Dave with the unenviable task of breaking down our latest two attempts to salvage our season - giving their expert analysis on our ties with Palace and Villa before previewing our penultimate game of the season - the warm up act to the crucial finale at Elland Road, AKA the on...

Two games to discuss this week as Spurs limp over the very low bar of not getting completely battered by either Man Utd or Liverpool. Join host Dags as he tries in vain to get a grip on the spiralling rage of regulars Elio and Socrates, while Dave just watches on and laughs. On this episode we once again look at the bigger picture and what Mason's first two games back in charge might have taught u...

Do we really need to write a summary? You know exactly what this week's episode is about. Sit back and grab the popcorn, just like Spurs at St. James', this one's about to get messy. Join the new regular team of 4 as we do our best to laugh so that we don't cry at Spurs' almost equally-shambolic efforts both on and off the pitch. Once again we delve into the deeper problems and try to muster up en...

Once again Spurs plunge us in to the depths of despair and find new lows so once again we enlist the services of Socrates - our newly appointed doom and gloom consultant (it would seem) back to analyse another Spurs disasterclass and to give us his take on what the hell is going on with this mess we call a football club and where we go from here. Joining Socs are regulars, Dags and Elio, as well a...

Spurs continue a strong home run with victory against one of the in-form teams in the league and one hot on their heels (with perhaps a touch of help from VAR). Dags, Dave and Elio discuss the game at length and break down its various controversial talking points, including a fleeting moment of sympathy for Brighton - no, not really. With the visit of Bournemouth to Tottenham at the weekend, we lo...

Another week, another mess. Join a 4-strong Plus Dave team this week, bolstered by the return of an old face (or voice) to help us sift through the ashes of our latest Spursy finish to a match and the surrounding corporate circus the club is currently putting on. David 'Pricey' Price doubles the Dave count and joins in various discussions including how we threw away 2 points against 10-man relegat...

Where do Spurs go next? The inevitable parting of ways with manager, Antonio Conte has been confirmed by the club with the dream duo of Stellini and Mason taking interim charge for the time being. With big things happening at Spurs we drafted in a special guest as we welcomed back Socrates to give his thoughts on all the developing drama and the future at Tottenham. Joined by Dags, Elio and Dave -...

Spurs throw away a 2-goal lead against the bottom side in the league but the Spursyness is overshadowed by a spectacular Antonio Conte post-match rant to rival an angry Elio. Speaking of angry Elio, there is plenty of that for you in this episode and with good reason as we look back at the Southampton result but also Conte's sensational comments, the context around them and his achievements (or la...

The season is over! Or at least that's the view of many as Spurs go crashing out of their last cup after a disappointing display in the home leg versus Milan, leaving just CL qualification to play for to give us a chance to do better next time. Dave and Dags fly Elio-less once again and do their best to fill the ranting void. As well as the defeat to Milan we also have a comfortable(ish) win over...

Spurs are rubbish again! Join the usual gang (a delirious Dags, a despondent Elio and a drunk Dave) as we reluctantly pick apart two straight away defeats after everything was looking so rosy. With so many questioning the club's priorities, we talk about the FA Cup, what it should mean, and whether we underestimated our tie with Sheffield United in the 5th round. We also look ahead to the upcoming...

Another week, another win! Spurs extend their oddly impressive home run with another 3 points and another clean sheet - this time against struggling bogey team and all-round detestable outfit Chelsea FC. Join us in an in-depth chat around the VAR drama just before half time which quickly spins out into a wider discussion of VAR and officiating in the game generally. Skipp fulfils a pre-season pred...

A very un-Spurs-like, routine 2-0 victory over West Ham suddenly means we are no longer filled with horror and dread looking at the table and readying ourselves for the run in to the season. Join the usual trio as we look at another Emerson Royal goal as the Emerdemption continues - as well as a few other standout performers from Sunday's game.  We then discuss how they can combine to dispose of a...
