The View From The Lane: The Athletic FC's Spurs show

Host Danny Kelly is joined by The Athletic's Tim Spiers and Jack Pitt-Brooke with Spurs top of their Champions League group after a 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt...

But what constitutes a truly 'Spursy' performance, how Son rediscovered his (and the team's) cutting edge, Hojbjerg's forward runs and whether or not you'd give Harry Kane the keys to the kingdom - like PSG did with Kylian Mbappe - if it meant he signed another new deal?

Plus, empty seats on a champions league night, the pre-match music, World Cup winners in the stadium and a preview of our Premier League game against Everton on Saturday.

Danny Kelly has Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw for company to look back on the 1-0 win at Brighton - a victory which came with muted celebrations following the sad death of the team's fitness coach, Gian Piero Ventrone, just a few days before.

Also in the podcast, we pay tribute to John Duncan, the great Spurs striker from the 70s. Plus, we analyse the tactical changes that facilitated the success at Amex and discuss Harry Kane's work for World Mental Health Day - whilst worrying again about his ever troublesome ankle.

Finally, we look forward to the Champions League game against Frankfurt and the role of the fans at what we may need to soon start calling The Googledome.

Host Danny Kelly is joined by The Athletic's James Maw and Tim Spiers after Spurs' unbeaten start to the Premier League season came to a miserable end at Arsenal on Saturday...

Conte's substitutions, squad depth, Emerson Royal's red and Spurs' style all come under the microscope again as the trio reflect on a NLD to forget and look ahead to an increasingly must-not-lose Champions League tie against Frankfurt in midweek.

It's not all doom and gloom though as Danny attempts to lift our spirits by commemorating his 100th VFTL appearance with 100 things he loves about Spurs, in 100 seconds - not to be missed!

Plus, following Monday's plea for football managers who've been sampled in music, Danny leads us on a short journey of musical discovery with an unintended link to the derby.

Plus, more on Mourinho's cameo in Stormzy's new video, why it's high-time Son was on free-kicks for Spurs and why both Gareth Southgate and Antonio Conte rely too much on Harry Kane's genius.

Danny Kelly has The Athletic's James Maw and Tim Spiers for company to look back on the 6-2 win over Leicester. It was the biggest win of the season and featured an amazing 13-minute hat-trick from Son, who started the game on the bench. So will Conte finally allow Spurs to attack, as they did to such effect in the second half, or will he stick to the tactics that we've seen all season?

Speaking of Conte, we discuss the rumours that he might be off to Juventus come the summer - or sooner - as Max Allegri's catastrophic return to Turin continues to plumb new depths.

Finally, we hear from Chris Howell, a Spurs fan for whom Tanguy Ndombele will now forever hold a special place in his heart.
