Jack welcomes Phil back to the show to go over last night again, and to look ahead at where Spurs go from here. Ange Postecoglou has once again found himself in a weird spot with the fans – or maybe not, depending on who you ask.

He’s claiming there’s no issue, but his comments in today’s pre-Southampton presser suggest otherwise, with talk of falling out of love with football because of VAR. Is this really the message we want to be hearing from the manager? Is something deeper going on?

We get into the increasingly toxic atmosphere around the club, what it says about the direction we're heading in, and whether it's time to start moving on from the “NameBall” era of managers. Is it too much to ask for someone who’s simply flexible and willing to work with the players at his disposal?
