This week the Plus Dave welcomes an extra special guest - a familiar voice to some of you no doubt, and one of the founding fathers of Spurs podcasting - host of the excellent The Extra Inch Spurs podcast and huge inspiration for the PDP - Chris 'Windy' Miller.

Windy joins Dags, Elio, Socs and Dave in a fully loaded team tasked with keeping you all entertained this international break. In this special episode, we take a chance to look back over life under Ange so far, how the reality has strayed from the expectation, what the long term future might hold for this exciting squad and what the near-term future might bring in the midst of our mini crisis.

We talk tactics, squad depth, signings and the long game in this mid-season debrief. We hope you enjoy and, if you haven't already, please do check out The Extra Inch on whatever platform you use and follow the team @TheExtraInch and Windy himself @WindyCOYS.

Plus Dave returns for a snappy one this week as Elio spends a week on the sidelines - there's only so much we can fill in for his monologues after all!

Join Dags, Socs and Dave as we look back on a tough late defeat to Wolves making it back-to-back losses to bring the Postecoglou honeymoon to a firm end. We discuss the evident impact of our injury/suspension crisis and how that might affect us across a difficult lineup of matches to lead us into Christmas.

We also take a quick look ahead to the Villa game after the break and see how we might approach that one and the challenges they may pose.

Our dream start has hit a major bump in the road. After flying out the blocks against Chelsea, the match fell apart in bizarre and spectacular fashion in an eventual 4-1 home defeat to our old boss that leaves us missing 4 key players for varying lengths of time through suspension and injury.

Through all this though, there remains a sense of positivity and pride in the way we still went for it and we are, of course, still right up there in the league with some positive to take.

The usual team try their hardest to go through the countless major talking points in an incredible London derby and provide their thoughts and feelings following our first loss of the Premier League season.

Join us for for an emotionally-charged, action-packed and foul-mouthed adventure, befitting of one of the maddest games we have ever seen. 

Another week, another win as Spurs find themselves (temporarily at least) 5 points clear at the top, but still out on their own at the top of the league, 10 games in. We're still not getting ahead of ourselves though, as we take it one game at a time...

This week it's Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park who did their best to make the soaring Spurs look fairly average for large parts of the 90 minutes but our quality showed through in the end. We look over that game and how it played out before looking ahead to a huge fixture as our old friend Pochettino looks to lead Chelsea out on our turf and take us on in our own nightclub/fortress in just over a week's time.

We discuss the impending welcome that awaits our old boss and also take a trip back to the Poch days to ponder what kind of match we could expect and where it will be won and lost - there are some bold predictions and some strong language (what else is new?)

This week's episode is brought to you by Dags and Socs as Dave gets a well-earned rest ahead of Palace and Elio serves a one week suspension for allegations of corruption against the Premier League.

Join our streamlined team as we take a measured and sensible look back at the latest triumphant performance by the Champions-elect, Tottenham Hotspur as they go marching on towards May with one hand on the trophy (or something like that...)

You'll find our best tactical analysis following a good win against Fulham which leaves us one win from going 5 points clear at the top, our reviews of all the big performers as usual as well as a couple of listener messages to entertain you.

Hello listener, are you missing Premier League football? Is there a void in your heart that can only be filled by the return of Angeball? Come and have a taste of the next best thing - a group therapy session with 3 like-minded sufferers of Spurs withdrawal (and a Leeds fan called Dave) here to talk about the mighty Tottenham Hotspur and their 8-game-old charge for the title.

With only the slightest hint of tongue in cheek and varying degrees of conviction we talk about out credentials to be up there in May, what might have to happen to give us a shot (short of an injury crisis at the Etihad and Spurs signing Jude Bellingham in January) and what we are doing right to give us even the faintest right to dream.

We also take this opportunity to go on a very short trip down memory lane and look back at this excellent start to the season with some of the dust having settled, with clear(ish) heads to assess the story so far, highlight the big surprises, the key statistics and how it's left us all feeling as Spurs fans/Spurs sympathisers.

We all know we probably won't keep this up all season and we probably won't go on to win the actual Premier League...

...but seriously though what if we could?

The Spurs go marching on! Once again we didn't make it easy for ourselves but the important thing is we got the win, we got the three points and it's enough to sail off into the international break top of the league as we pray for most of our players to make it back in one piece.

Dave takes the week off as, presumably, Spurs winning repeatedly is starting to bore him - leaving Dags, Elio and Socs to discuss a hard-fought 1-0 away win at Premier League new boys Luton Town. We discuss a frantic opening 10 minutes, a needless Bissouma red card and of course big Micky's first goal in our shirt capping off another outstanding outing.

There's also a look ahead to Fulham and how we might shape up Bissouma-less-ly for that one. Finally - just for good measure - a round of Challenge Elio is thrown in right at the end. Enjoy the pod and enjoy your place at the top of the league, Spurs fans, wear it with pride. We all know we've worked hard for this!

What's that? You want more last minute drama? More wins? More VAR controversy? More cards, more goals and more crying opposition fans? Well you, listener, are in luck. Spurs are anything but boring right now as we manage to secure a massive 3 points in a home match against 9-man Liverpool thanks to the help of some lovely Angeball (and our own 12th man in Stockley Park).

Some say Liverpool had this one coming - we discuss all this and more after an exciting 2-1 victory that leaves us as one of just two unbeaten teams left in the league and right up there in the mix at the top of that tree.

Elio is back to his brilliant, pompous best with a stunning trademark rant aimed at Liverpool and their fans, showing quite how little sympathy he has for the Merseysiders. We discuss some of the usual suspects pulling out yet more outstanding performances and go over all the controversial (or not so controversial) decisions and we flirt with the idea of letting ourselves dream - if just for the briefest of moments.

Hope you all enjoy this episode of Elio's therapy sess-we mean the Plus Dave Podcast!

Spurs survive a trip to the Emirates! Not only do they survive, but they come out with their heads held high, leaving many of us a renewed sense of optimism for the season ahead.

To help us discuss the match and the efforts of Ange's young superstars this week is a star of the present and future - podcasting prodigy and FCA-award nominee Harry Scarfe. Harry makes his Plus Dave debut in a huge week and settles right in like he's been doing this for decades, showing us old dogs how it's done. 

As a passionate advocate for raising awareness and campaigning for extra support to autistic and neurodiverse individuals - in football and beyond - Harry tells us more about his efforts in this area as well as his own unique experience growing up as a Spurs fan with autism and what Spurs specifically are doing to support our neurodiverse fanbase.

We bring you our thoughts on a hard-fought and well-deserved point away to Arsenal and look ahead to a similarly challenging proposition in Liverpool next weekend.

Well Spurs, you sure know how to keep things interesting!

We're back this week with a (relatively) regular episode to discuss a thoroughly irregular ending to our home game against Sheffield Utd - adding to our illustrious trophy cabinet with a new record for the latest comeback in Premier League history (a record we took from ourselves, of course)

Dags, Elio, Socs and Dave discuss the drama and everything that led to it, before turning their attention to the big one next weekend - the dreaded NLD at the Emirates. Is this the year we reverse our fortunes? Does Angeball have enough might to outwit Arteta and his latest experimental lineup?

While this week is slightly more professional than last week (a low bar if ever there was one) - rest assured, the poise and composure take a fairly sharp nosedive towards the end - where, just as it did around the 97th minute at the weekend, everything gets just a little bit silly.

We have bold predictions, in-depth analysis, foul language and even a good old-fashioned Challenge Elio for the veterans among you.
