Normal service resumes on Tottenham – Home and Away as Graeme is joined by returning regulars Richard and Hamish from Kiwi Spurs to look back on Tottenham’s pre-season tour of New Zealand and discuss what feels like the start of a very different Spurs season.

We hear first-hand what it was like having Spurs in Auckland: the open training session, fan events, shirt signings, Kiwi Spurs hosting Ledley King, appearances from Antonin Kinsky, Archie Gray, Mikey Moore, Brandon Austin and others, plus a record crowd at Eden Park despite classic English weather arriving with Tottenham.

There’s plenty of discussion around Roberto De Zerbi, his hands-on coaching style, how the young players performed, and whether the club finally looks more aligned around football rather than off-field business.

We also get into the squad: Archie Gray, Mikey Moore, Takai, Malachi Hardy, Tyrese Hall, Jamie Donley, Dane Scarlett, Richarlison, Solanke, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Udogie, Souza, Robertson, Bentancur and the players who may still leave before the window closes.

Finally, we discuss the bigger picture: Tottenham’s transfer strategy, academy pathways, loans, selling young players, whether the club has become more ruthless, and why — despite everything we went through last season — there is suddenly some cautious optimism around Spurs again.
