The Tottenham Way

Dan and Tom pick over the bones of our 1-1 draw with Southampton at St Mary's on Sunday - a trip that started badly when Dan tried to catch an imaginary train.

The squad was hit by the flu during the week - leaving Eriksen and Lloris incapacitated and unable to play - and while Pochettino may not be using it as an excuse, should we be? How damaging to our Top 4 hopes was the result? And how far is the Sissoko hate really warranted?

Thoughts turn to Newport, and a chance to progress in a competition that may be our best chance of success this season. Will Poch change his approach to the competition? What do we know of Newport? (the answer is next to nothing)

Some transfer talk, then some listener questions. Chin up. COYS.

Dan and Tom are joined by Jack Rosser, Spurs correspondent for Evening Standard online and Southampton fan, here to discuss the upcoming fixture on the south coast.

It's been 5 years since Pochettino first turned up on these shores as a relative unknown at St Mary's, so we start with a look at his half-decade in England. Did Jack think he would ever be as successful as he has been?

We talk loans for Nkoudou and Edwards, as well as Carter-Vickers returning from Sheffield United. Everton reviewed, including Son and Aurier, Kane the perpetual record breaker and an fantastic team goal.

New contracts, all over the shop, before a proper preview of our game against a struggling Saints side. Spoiler: Jack is NOT confident.

We end with some stadium talk, as Jack describes the move from The Dell to St Mary's back in 2001, and what it potentially does to a fanbase.

Lots to discuss. COYS

Here we are, back for the first episode of 2018 after our Christmas breaks. And what a Christmas period it was for Spurs.

First port of call is the FA Cup, where Dan is fresh from attending and keen to discuss a few talking points, such as Kane, Sissoko, Llorente, Foyth and Son. Of course, Vertonghen getting back amongst the goals also comes up.

We go over the busy week that saw us face Swansea and West Ham in quick succession, and where the period leaves us going into the new year.

Bit of chat about the newly opened transfer window, plus an Everton preview, where Tom is oddly confident.

Happy New Year. COYS.

This week, Tom and Dan discuss the slump in form that has followed Spurs around like a bad smell for a month. Luck, judgement or something more sinister?

We cover the FA Cup draw, Clattenberg making a name for himself, unhappy Alli and Davey Sanchez's elbows.

Keep the faith and all that. COYS.

Another week, another disappointing Spurs result, although this time it came via an outstanding victory away to Dortmund in the Champions League, ensuring we finish top of our group with a game to spare, ahead of the Germans and reigning champions Real Madrid.

With this in mind, why exactly CAN WE NOT BEAT WEST BROMWICH BLOODY ALBION??

Dan Kilpatrick and Tom Allnut head to the pub to discuss the see-saw life of a Spurs fan at the moment, while discussing Son, Kane, Rose and Ben Foster.

Onwards. COYS.

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

This week, Dan is being a dirty stinking flounce and has left Tom in charge, but fear not as it's the return of the original Dembelievers Cath and Rosa, here to set the Spurs world to rights in their unique way.

We begin with a chat about Dembele and his fitness issues, and whether his beasting of Sergio Ramos will be his seasonal high point. Leading nicely into the Real Madrid game, how does it rank in our all-time performances and results? Does it feel like we've really arrived at Wembley now, or did it make us pine for White Hart Lane even more? Alli, Kane, Vertonghen and Trippier all mulled over too.

We move onto the international break and our English lads pulling out of the squad. Can Poch now pull rank, or does his pride take over? And what is causing all our injury problems lately, can we simply blame the big Wembley pitch?

We move onto Palace, and a tough but ultimately warranted victory over the bottom of the table club. Son - underrated or continuing source of frustration? Have we fully forgiven Rose? And what on earth to make of Gazzaniga in goal?

We finish with a couple of listener questions, including what it's like to raise the next generation of Spurs fans. It's a cracker this week. COYS.

A special episode this week as Dan sits down with Guillem Balague, author of 'Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs', a fascinating look at how our manager has transformed our club since joining in 2014.

There's also a little Real Madrid preview, and we're not sorry to say that we skipped the analysis of the disasters against West Ham and Manchester United.

This week, Dan has invited his Liverpool-supporting friend George onto the podcast to discuss - or argue over - the weekend mauling of Liverpool, our first win over the Reds in 10 games.

After a quick discussion about George's experience of being a fan at Wembley (1m15s), we of course have to start with our heroic but completely warranted point away at Real Madrid (7m14s). What did we think of Pochettino's surprise line-up? Is Winks the second coming of Modric? And where does this leave Spurs in terms of our status on the European stage?

We move onto Liverpool and the gradual dismantling of Klopp's laughable defence (15m20s). Dan and George argue over the targeting of Liverpool's defence, and whether it was a deliberate plan of Pochettino or merely terrible individual errors. What indication was the game of where Spurs and Liverpool both are? Was this the statement win we were looking for at Wembley?

Thoughts turn to West Ham (40m15s) and who we are likely to start, in particular in midfield where numbers are short. The big talking point is the return of Lamela after a year out, and Tom and Dan stake their claims for and against his place in the team going forward.

We finish with a preview of Man United, with us travelling to Old Trafford in good form (46m50s). Will we face a United side looking for a backlash after a disappointing two weeks, or can we continue our momentum?

Listener questions include what does Jordan Henderson do, plus Kane's likelihood of going to Madrid. Enjoy. COYS.
