January 08 S15E46 - Mug
EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!
We’re not angry. We’re not hopeful. We’re not even disappointed. We’re just… numb.
After another Spurs defeat, we try to work out whether numbness is actually the healthiest coping mechanism. There’s talk of wanting to go blind, fans squaring up to players, Romero’s baffling Instagram post, Vicario booting it long, Bentancur turning back, and whether drinking tea out of that mug should be a sackable offence. Somewhere in the mess there are decent goals, half-chances, and a faint memory of joy. Mostly though, it’s therapy. Dark, funny, bleak therapy. Up the Spurs.

January 05 S15E45 - Frankly, This Is Grim
EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!
We’re back after the Sunderland draw and honestly, it’s getting properly bleak. We talk about why that first half somehow looked “good” to some of us, why the second half felt like the usual collapse, and the stat that made us feel a bit ill: no open-play goals in five league games. We get into Frank’s brutal approval rating, the midfield’s total allergy to progressive passing, and whether the club even knows what it’s trying to be right now. Plus transfer chat, the structure behind the scenes, and the uncomfortable question: are we basically just waiting for Poch?

January 02 S15E44 - Bored, Angry And Spurs
EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!
We go full therapy session after the Brentford nil nil. Boredom, anger, Frank fatigue, timewasting on 60 minutes, selling Brennan Johnson, and the creeping fear that Spurs have stopped even trying to win football matches. There’s blame for everyone, coaches included, nostalgia for Ange, existential dread about being Spurs, and a lot of laughs because what else are you meant to do. It’s bleak, it’s funny, and it’s very Tottenham.

December 30, 2025 THE LAB | Luka Vuskovic Is Not Normal
We’re back with coach Harry Brooks to deep-dive on wunderkid Luka Vuskovic and why the hype is getting silly for an 18-year-old centre-back on loan at Hamburg. We chat through what makes him so dominant, why his aerial numbers are outrageous, how he plays off both feet, and why he keeps popping up with goals like he’s a striker. We also get into the one obvious weakness in his profile, whether he can handle the Premier League right now, and what Spurs even do if he comes back when Romero and Van de Ven are already nailed-on starters. Plus a quick detour into what smart development actually looks like and why rushing the steps is rarely worth it.

December 29, 2025 S15E43 - Jam Tarts and Low Blocks
We finally won a game of football, so obviously we’re going to overthink every second of it. Sean Kray makes his Fighting Cock debut with an elite Mr Kipling bar, Ben’s fresh back from the away end, and we try to work out why the vibes were so good even when the football was… not. We get into Frank’s setup, the constant fan backlash, Odobert actually giving us something to latch onto, and whether we’re being too harsh on the manager or not harsh enough. Plus: Porro stress, Palhinha discourse, Richarlison redemption arc (sort of), and what we actually need in January.

We somehow turned a Spurs pod into sinkhole chat, canal-boat paranoia, and then a genuinely weird, rare thing: feeling a bit of pride after losing to Liverpool. Two red cards, a ref performance that made no sense, and yet the stadium noise actually lifted us. We get into Romero’s chaos, Spence looking class, Richarlison coming on like a man possessed, and whether the players are actually buying what Frank’s selling. Plus a quick word on the To Talk Is To Do campaign and why it matters this time of year.

December 20, 2025 S15E41 - To Talk Is To Do
Our special edition podcast in collaboration with @SpursOfficial for the #ToTalkIsToDo campaign is now live.

A huge thank you to our special guests Micky Hazard, Josh James, Emma Adjei and Trevor Bygate, as well as our extremely brave callers who shared their inspirational stories. Take a listen.

It’s Q&A Thursday and we’re talking about mental health, ticketing, and Thomas Frank’s job security all in the same breath. Spurs have reached out to work with us on “To Talk Is To Do”, there’s actual movement on atmosphere and ticket sharing, and we’re trying to work out if any of it means things are changing for real. Plus, Ricky’s late because of a bed, we argue about kids tickets, and we talk ourselves into being weirdly confident about Liverpool under the lights.

We jump straight into the post Forest misery and try to work out what Thomas Frank’s Spurs are actually trying to do, because right now it feels like passing it around the back with zero conviction. There’s a proper rant about the Vicario to Archie Gray disaster, the endless long range bangers we keep gifting teams, and why the fanbase has gone fully toxic if that poll is anything to go by. Plus we touch on the scarf giveaway, the weird vibes from the touchline, and the latest “finance restructuring” whispers doing the rounds.

December 11, 2025 S15E38 - The Rise And Rise Of Archie Gray
In this one we start with the growing hype around Archie Gray, what his ceiling looks like and how he fits alongside Bentancur, Bergvall and the rest of Spurs midfield. We get into fan sentiment, Thomas Frank’s selections, the atmosphere at the stadium, drums, ticket prices and why it all feels so tense at home. There is a long and frankly unnecessary detour into how people wipe their arses, portable bum guns and moisturised ringpieces, before we circle back to Son’s emotional return, Matys Tells flashes, Dom Solanke rumours and whether Frank is quietly following the early Poch arc. It is very much Q and A chaos.
