YE1 Spurs

Mauricio Pochettino's best league campaign, and Tottenham's historic final season playing at White Hart Lane.

The YE1 crew remembers perhaps our most complete side since 1987.

Film director and co-host of The Spurs Show Theo Delaney reflects on what was the gig of a lifetime, as he produced The Lane, The Finale.

Delaney was appointed by the club as creative director for Tottenham's memorable farewell ceremony and film, which celebrated the end of 118 years at White Hart Lane.

Ian, Sim, and Peter reassess Spurs' first season at temporary home ground Wembley, as YE1 Spurs continues its daily descent backward through the annals of Tottenham time.

The virtual table is open again, as YE1 Spurs revisits 2018/19, and remembers:

• The unforgettable road to Tottenham's first ever Champions League Final

With football postponed indefinitely, YE1 Spurs is going daily.

The podcast has committed to look back in descending chronological order, and review a different season each day, until Coronavirus is beaten and the Spurs are back on the pitch.

If football is off for 100 days, then we will be back revisiting 1919/1920.

Ian hosts the first remote YE1 broadcast, and is joined on the line by Sim, Rikki, and Peter.

In July 2001, Sol Campbell did the unthinkable, as he ran down his Tottenham contract and joined our bitter North London rivals Arsenal on a Bosman (free) transfer.

This YE1 special glares back at that debacle, which sparked some pretty unsavoury scenes for several years, particularly when would Campbell return to White Hart Lane.

Ian, Sim, Rikki, Matt, and Peter consider, in a balanced fashion, whether or not the former Spurs captain can ever be forgiven, or his actions ever understood.

Ian invites Sim, 22, Rikki, 42, Matt, 46, and Peter, 62, to have their say on:

• Last Saturday's defeat at Stamford Bridge

Though serious debate in itself, Episode 11 also signifies a warm-up for Episode 12, when the boys go face-to-face for huge Sol Campbell deliberation. Can his free transfer to Arsenal ever be forgiven, forgotton, or understood?

That before Manchester City's alleged FFP regulations breaches are explored in a Tottenham Hotspur context (also in Episode 12).

Sim, 22, and Peter, 62, go in search of pre/post-match Spurs fan opinion, as the Champions League knockout stages kicked off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a tough tie against German side RB Leipzig.

YE1 anchorman Ian Wallis and son Casper, 11, forecast prior to the match, as do Stuart, 22, and Clive, 61, with full-time reflections from Nicholas Frankel.

We extend our squad evaluation to the midfielders and forwards.

Ian assigns Casper, 11, Sim, 21, Matt, 46, and Peter, 62, the challenge of evaluating Spurs' bloated, underachieving squad; starting with our goalkeeping and defensive personnel.
