    Frank: 'Defend a bit better, attack a bit better. Simples'

    Burnley: missed chance or gritty point? Either way, we didn’t end their miserable run, so… progress? We dig into the numbers (not boringly, promise) and explore whether our best attackers are also our biggest problem. Plus: Odobert shows promise, Tel gets messed about again and Gallagher’s written off before he’s unpacked. Transfer chat goes suspiciously quiet, ITKs come up empty and we ask whether it’s possible to hate Arsenal too much ahead of City. Strap in. It’s Nice One Cyril.

    Welcome To The Shitshow

    Home defeat to that useless lot. Frank said we were “close to something very good.” Romero called it “a disaster.” One of them is right. We cover baffling tactics, Tel hooked and dumped from the Champions League squad again, Bissouma’s return, Ben Davies’ brutal injury, and the eerie silence from the hierarchy. regarding a failing manager. Where's Levy when you need him? Dortmund with half a squad, City, United, Newcastle, Arsenal coming up. It's not getting any easier; ⚠️ Slightly shorter episode this week after we discovered, during the edit, that Lee Brown’s microphone had gone full Norman Collier., so we had to can him. Shame, he was bloody good. Nice One Cyril.

    Nice One Cyril: Extra Time 8

    Kev and Simon chat about Gallagher, sift through the latest transfer noise, the club’s ever-expanding executive org chart, and ask why Ange’s name still won’t go away. Also, who gives a toss about Gary of Harlow's wet dream Spurs line-up? Kev, as it turns out. Plus, would defeat to West Ham mean bye-bye Thomas? Irreverence, speculation, nonsense, therapy. COYS

    Green Shoots Or Dead Roots?

    Another home defeat, another first half we’d all like to forget. But...a much better second half against a good Villa team, which raises an awkward question: if we’re happy to blame Thomas Frank when it’s bad, do we give him credit when it improves? Simon, Julie, Kevin and Barry talk green shoots, player meltdowns, transfer gossip, Spurs superstitions, and why supporting this club feels oddly essential despite everything. Plus some great Spursy anecdotes. It’s Spurs. It’s confusing. It’s Nice One Cyril.

    Nice One Cyril: Extra Time 7

    Simon and Kevin discuss: Another horrible capitulation to Bournemouth , Cupgate, players confronting the fans and the captain aiming a broadside at the hierarchy. Thomas continues to struggle - what's he trying to do? Do we stick or twist? Do we expect to be mediocre? Does that expectation sum up who we are as a club and as fans? Should we throw everything at Villa and be damned? Martin Chivers - a true great.

    'I'm So Sick Of This Shit'

    We’re dissecting the Jekyll & Hyde draw with Sunderland—from a decent first half to a second-half retreat so deep we nearly ended up in the stand. Inside the episode: Tactical Hostages: Why does Thomas Frank treat a 1-0 lead like a ticking bomb? We discuss the inevitability of the equalizer and the "negative" shift that cost us. Mohammed Kudus is out. Who can carry the creative torch? Transfer Circus: We separate the genuine January targets from the ITK "idiot" specials. And we ask, Is Johan Lange the architect of our future or the catalyst for our decline? The Prodigal Son: Mikey Moore is lighting up Rangers—is it time to trigger the recall and let the kid save our season? Reality Check: Would any of our squad even make the bench at City, Arsenal, or Chelsea? (Warning: It’s a short list). Plus: A quick look at the Poch nonsense and the Bournemouth match. COYS

    Kevin and Simon discuss our sparkling performance against Brentford. Is Thomas Frank just trying not to lose? Will that save his job? Bilbao hero Brennan Johnson is on his way? Was he good enough? Did we play him out of position? What did his babysitter think of him? Who broke your heart when they left Spurs? A quick burst of therapy for Spurs sufferers everywhere.
