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 defeat, which saw us go down to Arsenal for the first time in 7 league games. What went wrong? Was it a crime of passion, intelligence, tactics or otherwise? Can we blame injuries and fitness, or were we just merely beaten by the better team?

We move on to Dortmund, and a daunting if somewhat pressure-free fixture against prestigious opposition. Is this the perfect game to bounce back with? Or should we be concerned of an ongoing confidence issue?

Newly manager-less West Brom also get an airing, and the type of game we can expect if they get a certain Sam Allardyce - or perhaps even Sherwood himself - in before Saturday.

Chins up, everyone. COYS
