The Tottenham Way

Dan and Tom are joined this week by Luke Brown, writer for the Independent and Spurs fan who suffered along with us all on Saturday. Before we get to that horror, we ask Luke to elaborate on his excellent interview with Tim Sherwood, which raised some old questions about what influence he has had on the club as it stands now. Minimal, or does he have a point? Sadly, we have to discuss the derby de...

This week, Dan is being a dirty stinking flounce and has left Tom in charge, but fear not as it's the return of the original Dembelievers Cath and Rosa, here to set the Spurs world to rights in their unique way. We begin with a chat about Dembele and his fitness issues, and whether his beasting of Sergio Ramos will be his seasonal high point. Leading nicely into the Real Madrid game, how does it r...

A special episode this week as Dan sits down with Guillem Balague, author of 'Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs', a fascinating look at how our manager has transformed our club since joining in 2014. There's also a little Real Madrid preview, and we're not sorry to say that we skipped the analysis of the disasters against West Ham and Manchester United. COYS. Learn more about your ad choi...

This week, Dan has invited his Liverpool-supporting friend George onto the podcast to discuss - or argue over - the weekend mauling of Liverpool, our first win over the Reds in 10 games. After a quick discussion about George's experience of being a fan at Wembley (1m15s), we of course have to start with our heroic but completely warranted point away at Real Madrid (7m14s). What did we think of Poc...

Tom and Dan return after illness and covering England -- both equally energy-sapping -- respectively to discuss Bournemouth (meh), Real Madrid (ARRRGHHHH!) and Liverpool (errrrr) over an exotic beer. (1m15s) We discuss whether Poch's rant at Pep was a sign of irritation, clever mind-games or both, plus Levy's desire to keep him at Spurs for the next 10 to 15 years. (13m59s) Tom dishes out the Chri...

This week, Tom and Dan are recording in Tom's living room having just watched the APOEL game live and prepared to give some hot takes straight on the back of our glorious victory. There really is only one place to start and that's with Harry Kane, the man who continues to take Europe by storm. That's 5 goals in the Champions League this season, and it looks like there will be plenty more. We also...

This week, Dan and Tom are joined by Sean Walsh, returning to tell us a few tales of being 'on the job' for ESPN and Crystal Palace this summer. We discuss the epic victory over Dortmund (09m55s), including the tactical accident of playing without the ball. Did Son's inclusion make all the difference? Will we see a more counter attacking set up against the bigger teams at Wembley going forward? We...

Tom returns from selfishly having his wedding and honeymoon to join Dan and special guest Jonathan Shainin, Spurs fan and editor of Guardian Longreads. We start with a chat about longread journalism and why it is so successful, and what would make a good Tottenham long read; Pochettino or Levy? We move onto the surprisingly routine victory away to Everton on Saturday, with Kane reaching his 100th...

With presenter Tom Hayward still selfishly on his honeymoon, Dan Kilpatrick was joined by the Press Association's Tottenham reporter Tom Allnutt, himself newly married, to discuss Spurs' summer transfer window – in a booth at Wetherspoons. Following more Deadline Day drama, we discuss what happened and what didn't happen yesterday, and during the window, and question whether Spurs are stronger for...

As Tom recovers from his wedding over the weekend, Dan takes up hosting duties and welcomes seasoned podder Jack Hussey (@tehTrunk) to discuss the grossly disappointing late draw with Burnley on Sunday. Unlike Tom and his new bride, Spurs and Wembley simply can't seem to get their relationship off the ground. What can we do to stop this becoming a crisis? Will Spurs be able to shake off the nerves...

This week, like after every Chelsea game, we are joined ESPN's Chelsea correspondent Liam Twomey to pick over another disappointing result at the National Stadium. We start by likening Spurs to Andy Roddick, and it doesn't get much better from that. What is the problem? Was it luck, tactics, or simply the Wembley factor? Liam talks about Conte's master plan to stop us and if it might serve as a bl...

We're joined by old podder Dan Rattigan this week, to discuss the professional start to the season away at St James' Park; a great result considering the supposed 'unrest' at Spurs this week. We discuss the excellent Eriksen, Alli and Dembele, and talk about the great Kyle Walker-Peters debut. Inevitably, we discuss Danny Rose and that interview last week, including the knock-on effects of his hon...

We start season 3 as we finished season 2, slightly worse for wear with booze and discussing Tottenham with Jim (@stylishriot) and Oly Lister. We talk about pre-season and how it's set us up for the new season, half-empty Wembley and our complete lack of right backs. How do we prepare for life without Kieran Trippier, and how depressing a sentence is that to say? We also talk transfer activity, or...

Daaaaaaaaaaaan in the USAAAAAAAAAAA! Yes, Dan is out in the US covering Spurs' pre-season tour of the States, but we'll be damned if that's going to stop us releasing our second Summer special podcast. Deep in a hot and sweaty pub basement, Dan is joined by pod favourite Ben Pearce and Cartilage Free Captain writers Greg and Vince to discuss matters from pre-season so far, including the late loss...

We're here for a Summer special! Tom and Dan are joined by Greg Stobart and Gerry Cox, two journalism big-hitters here to discuss how following Spurs from the press box has changed since the 90's. Gerry tells us many a tale, including drinking on the plane to Uefa Cup games, seeing Steve Carr ruin one of his on-the-whistle reports, George Graham's media training and accidentally driving 2 hours to...

It's the last episode of the season, and Tom and Dan are joined by old friends of the podcast Jim and Oly to talk about a ridiculous week where this beautiful team spanked 13 goals past actual Premier League teams. Does how we ended the season put to bed the criticism of Poch? Seven of those thirteen goals came from Harry Kane, helping him win the Golden Boot for a second season in a row - who can...

This week, Tom and Dan are joined by Ben Schiffer, 21 years a season ticket holder and ready to join us in mourning at the loss of our great old beautiful ground, White Hart Lane. We get straight down to business, the glorious scenes from before, during and after the game, with legends and fans taking to the pitch in a show of pure emotion. There doesn't feel like anything more to say, so have a l...

This week, a very weary Tom is joined in his flat by Dan to discuss the disappointing loss to a horribly gleeful West Ham, and why we cannot afford another disastrous run to end our season this time around. Are the players 'on the beach' having confirmed our top 4 place, and did they ever really believe they would catch Chelsea? And what do we think of the 'bottlers' tag that Spurs have been assig...

This week, this glorious glorious week, Dan and Tom are joined by old podcast favourite Harry Sherlock to discuss Spurs finally - FINALLY - lifting the curse of St Totteringham's Day. How did we feel watching us demolish a sorry excuse of an Arsenal side in the last North London Derby at our old ground? We ask where the game itself was won and lost, including the imposing performance of Victor Wan...

A bumper episode this week, as Dan and Tom are joined by Liam Twomey, as usual after we face Chelsea, and it's a pod debut for Crystal Palace fan and journalist Greg Lea, here to preview a big week ahead for Spurs. We begin with the sad news of Ugo Ehiogu passing away, and how big a hole he leaves at the club, before moving onto Wembley. Where did we go wrong? Did Pochettino experiment and did it...

A giddy Dan and Tom are joined by the excellent Tom Allnut to smash straight into the title talk. There's no escaping it; we;re in it, but can we win it? We talk Chelsea nerves, important games and psychological edges. We discuss Bournemouth and the return to the score sheet for Mousa Dembele, as well as the statistical miracle of Harry Kane, who's hit 20 for the third straight season. Also Jansse...

An El Classico (again) this week, and Dan and Tom are left to relive the amazing scenes at Swansea and what that fightback symbolises about this Tottenham team, as well as the routine home win against Watford. With 3 wins in a week, we discuss the amazing contributions of Son, Eriksen and Alli in Kane's absence and how the supporting cast graduated to the lead role without incident. Alli, in parti...

We're back! This week, Tom and Dan are joined by Greg Stobart, who begins the episode with some personal career news and why he's fallen out of love with football journalism. We talk about how a dream job becomes 'just another job', which is something for Dan to really look forward to. We move onto Burnley, and a win that sees the title race blown wide open (sort of). Can we do it? What will we ha...

Dan and Tom are joined by Adam Nathan, here to bring you his fresh controversial views (sort of). We start with a quick look at the FA Cup semi final draw which sees us play Chelsea, yet again, at Wembley. Can the rumours suggesting Vorm will play be true, and if so, how much does that harm our chances? We move on to Southampton, and a nervy but crucial victory, particularly without Kane. Did we s...

Dan and Tom are not in the studio this week, so apologies for the scratchy sound, but the content is still fire emoji as ever. They discuss the weekend dismantling of Millwall, which despite the high scoring always contained a tinge of frustration with Harry Kane's early injury. We all know how bad this will be, but just what can we expect from the inevitable few weeks that our talisman is out? Wi...
