The Tottenham Way

This week, Dan and Tom are joined by the returning Alex Brown, and the jury's out on our midfield dynamite. What is up with Christian Eriksen, or is there nothing to worry about? The Palace result is analysed, as well as the contributions of the ever improving Kyle Walker, plus Vorm, Wanyama, Lamela and Janssen. The Champions League draw is previewed, as well as the travelling circus that is Klopp...

Dan and Tom are joined by Adam Nathan, returning for the first time this season to review the Premier League opening game against Everton and tell us why he's wiping the slate almost clean for Erik Lamela. The same can't be said for Vorm, however, who doesn't escape Adam's ire. Also, the debutants Wanyama and Janssen are discussed, as well as the rusty looking Kane and Alli. We preview Palace this...

Season 2 of The Tottenham Way Podcast starts in exactly the same way Season 1 ended, with Oly Lister and Jim (@stylishriot) joining Dan and Tom to discuss all the events of a typically busy Spurs summer. We pick over the news of Paul Mitchell's apparent departure, before a very tired and very ill Dan tells us tales of his excursions to Australia to report on the pre-season tour, including sitting...

And so here we are, and it wasn't supposed to be this way. Tom and Dan are joined by regulars Jim (@stylishriot) and Oly Lister to firstly pick over just what the hell happened on Sunday against Newcastle and how on earth we finished 3rd, then discuss the season as a whole, which unsurprisingly lifts the mood on the whole. Does Poch need to learn some lessons? What was the moment of the season? Wh...

An 'El Classico' podcast for the penultimate episode of the season, with just Tom and Dan left to chew over the disappointing loss to Southampton at the weekend. Instead of a proper review, we talk about everything from the captaincy of Hugo Lloris to whether we'd sign Shane Long (yes, that Shane Long). We talk about Daniel Levy's end of season statement, playing Champions League games at Wembley...

Dan and Tom host a battered and broken podcast this week, with the returning Rich Arrowsmith and ESPN's Chelsea correspondent Liam Twomey left to pick up the pieces and discuss the final nail in the title coffin that was the draw at Stamford Bridge. We discuss dropping points from winning positions for the 8th time this season, Eric Dier earning about 19 yellow cards and not getting sent off, Demb...

Dan and Tom welcome back Alex Brown as we convene to lick our wounds and eat some biscuits. We talk about whether the dream is over (for this year, at least) and why we can still be positive in the face of adversity. We discuss the learning curve this beautiful team has experienced, and what the reaction to West Brom tells us about where Poch has taken us. What can we do differently next season? W...

A very giddy Tom and Dan are joined by Jim (@stylishriot) and Rich Arrowsmith to discuss the absolute dismantling of Stoke City in front of their own very angry supporters, who as it turns out actually think we're pretty good too. Without the aid of a running order (and yes, you can tell) we try and put into words just how good this team is. Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Danny Rose all...

Just Dan and Tom this week, casting adoring glances at the weekend victory over Manchester United in which Lamela, Walker and Eriksen shone brightly and made us believe again (sort of). We discuss what has made Eriksen such a dynamic player, why Lamela misses from 3 yards but scores a beauty from 15, how great Dembele is, and all the other aspects of a glorious afternoon at White Hart Lane. Stoke...

Dan and Tom return after two weeks off and welcome Sean Walsh and Dan Rattigan on to discuss the weekend draw with Liverpool, following on from the International break where Spurs players featured so heavily. Did the break ruin our momentum, or did it just give our stars a different focus? We talk about our record-breaking Kane and how there are no longer any correct words to describe him. Lamela...

This week, Tom and Dan are invited into the home of pod regular Adam Nathan, along with Ben Lewis who also makes his return. From the sofa, they discuss the already perhaps disappointingly long-forgotten Dortmund tie and what it told us about the squad, most notably the ongoing Bentaleb saga, and the weekend mauling of Bournemouth. Toby and Kane are gushed over, and we discuss how it would feel co...

This week, Dan and Tom are joined by Katrina Law and Martin Cloake, co-chairs of the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust. They discuss the incidents outside the stadium in Dortmund which saw many fans crushed and pepper sprayed, and what the Trust are doing to make sure those responsible are held accountable. Aston Villa is covered, including where Kane ranks among the best strikers we've ever had...

A little bit on the side for you all as Dan records a special edition of The Tottenham Way on his way back from Dortmund, complete with pod regular Rich Arrowsmith, pod rival TehTrunk, and Mrs Trunk, Charlotte. While combating hangovers, fatigue and Spurs-related deflation, the four discuss Pochettino's lineup, Dortmund's brilliance and the very serious issues surrounding access to the ground befo...

Just Tom and Dan this week, and they are left to pick over what could have been after a pivotal week in the title race. The North London Derby takes top billing, including the two sides of Lamela, Pochettino's substitutions, the possibly flaking defensive unit, and of course Kane's wonder goal, which deserved to be the winner. We also look closely at the West Ham defeat, preview Dortmund, and try...

Dan and Tom are joined this week by Oly Lister and Harry Sherlock, the latter back for yet another Arsenal review. We discuss the Fiorentina win and the resulting tie with Dortmund, plus ticket prices and what it might do to the increasingly excellent White Hart Lane atmosphere. Swansea is picked apart, including the performances of Christian Eriksen and in particular the match winner Danny Rose....

This week, Dan and Tom welcome the return of Cath and Rosa, fresh off the plane from Florence having been present for the draw with Fiorentina. Ryan Mason's captaincy is discussed (as well as Rosa's hysterical meltdown when she found out), as well as if we think a draw is a decent result, Alli being a bit of a nasty b-word and do we really care about the Europa League (we do)? We unfortunately the...

Dan and Tom are joined by the returning Kev (@bankruptspurs) to work out just what on earth is happening at Tottenham Hotspur right now. We discuss the weekend win at City and the title race, Danny Rose being a right little tinker, Pochettino being a right little thinker, Lamela, Eriksen, and much more. Listener questions are answered, including a desperate search through our collective memories t...

This week, for episode 29 and not 30 as introduced, Tom and Dan are joined by writer and stand up comedian Joey Page to discuss the weekend win against Watford. Without the aid of a running order for the second week in a row, topics twist through Kieran Tripper, Kyle Walker, getting smashed by City, Lewis Holtby (for some reason), Heurelho Gomes and the social status of the guests we invite on. It...

This week, Dan and Tom host a free-wheeling episode of The Tottenham Way, with Rich Arrowsmith and Alex Brown returning to help guide the ship. Without the aid of a running order, the four mull over Kane's world class performance in the win against Norwich and what it means for the title race. We mug off Liverpool because it's funny, argue over what a volley is, continue the Pochettino love-in and...

Dan and Tom are joined by Adam Nathan this week to discuss the weekend win at Palace, in particular the wonder strike from Dele Alli which is the best goal that has ever been scored. We discuss Pochettino getting subs right, our four fabulous full backs, life without Vertonghen and, to some extent, preview Colchester in the Cup on Saturday. We mull over whether Poch is the best manager of our life...

This week, Tom rises from his death bead to regain the host's chair and pick the brains of this week's esteemed guests. Dan returns to normal duties, we welcome back Rich Arrowsmith from the Chelsea pod, and Phil (@SingleMaltSuds) makes his debut. They discuss the resounding response to the midweek loss to Leicester by working out how important Dembele was to the win against Sunderland and to the...

This week, Dan steps into the host's chair in the absence of a very ill Tom, and welcomes back Jim (@stylishriot) and Oly Lister to discuss the FA Cup stalemate with Leicester and what a replay will mean for our chances. The midweek Leicester league game is previewed and Oly is VERY optimistic about our chances. Dan asks the serious questions about Christian Eriksen, a potential tie with Colcheste...

For the first pod of 2016, Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Hayward return to review the Everton draw and in particular the performances of Tom Carroll and Dele Alli, plus what it all means for Nabil Bentaleb, who seems to be sitting on the Pochettino naughty step. We discuss the constant but essentially unavoidable flogging of an exhausted Harry Kane, the league and FA Cup double-header with Leicester, as...

To round off 2015, Tom and Dan take a break from the pub to record in Dan's living room, discussing the Christmas victories over Norwich and Watford and the inevitable title buzz on the back of them. Are Spurs really in with a shout of winning the league, or should our ambitions remain within the familiar confines of finishing in the top 4? We also touch on Kane, Son and the emerging Tom Carroll,...

This week, Dan and Tom are joined by Sean Walsh and Raph Harris to discuss Spurs getting back to winning ways against Southampton at the weekend. Not for the first time this season, the focus is on Kane, Walker, Lloris and Dembele, and the steely response to last week's loss to Newcastle. Raph tells us about the attitudes to Tottenham Hotspur in his native Brazil, which inevitably includes referen...
