    How 'Bout Dem Apples - YAPS S01E08

    Spurs lose the North London Derby… but is the reaction worse than the performance? In Episode 8, How ’Bout “Dem Apples”, the YAPS crew dig into life under Igor Tudor after just a handful of sessions in charge, the sudden wave of relegation panic, and whether social media narratives are running miles ahead of reality. We debate the Van de Ven clip, the Romero criticism, and whether this is really about the manager — or something more structural at the club. There’s also a sliding doors conversation about key moments in Spurs history, and a look at how Spurs Women might actually be showing the blueprint for identity and recruitment. Measured takes. Gallows humour. A few apples thrown.

    The Teflon Wore Off - CADS and YAPS Emergency Pod

    🚨 Emergency pod alert! The klaxon is going off because the nightmare is finally over: Thomas Frank is gone — “Frank has been ferted, his chips have been alerted” and Spurs have to figure out what comes next. This is a YAPS x CADS mash-up, running through: How long we were “Frank out” (and which results felt like the point of no return) The real question: interim or permanent — and whether Spurs even have a plan Interim options: U21 boss shout, Heitinga, Ryan Mason (with a spicy Harry Redknapp 2-days-a-week cameo idea) The conspiracy corner: Jan Vertonghen as figurehead?! Bigger picture: injuries, squad balance, recruitment, boardroom chaos, and the relegation fear The nostalgia debate: Poch as the feel-good fix… or a risky rerun? And to finish, we go round the table: one name for the next permanent Spurs manager — and yes, it turns into a very familiar clean sweep… 💬 Drop your pick for interim + permanent in the comments. COYS.

    The Best of Times, the Wurst of Times - YAPS s01E07

    January was a dog of a month for Spurs, and Frank-ball is starting to resemble sausages left in a hot car boot—soft, smelly, and not fit for consumption. While we mashed Dortmund for breakfast in the Champions League, we continue to roll over in the league, leaving us 15th with little to relish. Join Owen, Stu, and special guest Fergus as they discuss our January struggles, the thin transfer window, tactical frustrations, and whether our squad quality should have us much higher in the table. We're avoiding the Frank Out debate (we've made our feelings clear), but there's plenty to discuss about squad depth, injuries, player performances, and whether we're just one proper manager and director of football away from turning it around. Plus: Doug's meta question about what it would ACTUALLY take to win the Premier League, our favorite skeets from BlueSky, and the ultimate hypothetical—would you take relegation if it meant winning the Champions League? Come On You Spurs! CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 - Introduction & The Sausage Chronicles Begin 00:08:12 - Champions League Glory vs Premier League Gloom 00:23:16 - January Transfer Window Review 00:35:00 - The Andy Robertson Saga & Left-Back Concerns 00:42:30 - The Antonin Kinsky Goalkeeper Situation 00:46:14 - Dream Signing: If You Could Sign One Player... 00:48:36 - Doug's Meta Question: When Will Spurs Win the League? 01:02:21 - Skeets of the Month: Social Media Roundup 01:04:40 - The Ultimate Hypothetical: 18th & Champions League?01:10:13 - Squad Quality Reality Check 01:13:46 - Wrap-Up & Sign-Off

    All I want for YAPSmas is lube

    YAPSmas has arrived — and festive discipline immediately goes out the window. In our first-ever YAPSmas Special, host Owen puts the YAPS crew through a run of seasonal questions designed to be light-hearted, thoughtful, and vaguely organised. Naturally, it all goes off the rails. What follows is a gloriously scattergun Tottenham Hotspur conversation that hops between eras, players, managers, memories, and absurd hypotheticals — from Martin Jol to Mourinho, Pochettino to Postecoglou — with modern Spurs chat colliding head-on with nostalgia, Christmas nonsense, and some deeply questionable gift ideas. There are serious football points in here.There are also moments where football logic leaves the room entirely. If you like your Spurs content neat and structured, this might not be for you.If you like it messy, opinionated, festive, and accidentally funny — welcome. Happy YAPSmas 🎄 00:00 – Owen’s Festive Opening MonologueSetting the YAPSmas tone… for better or worse. 01:13 – Laying Down the YAPSmas RulesAn attempt at structure that doesn’t last long. 04:04 – Spurs Naughty List vs Nice ListJudgement is passed. Santa is watching. 08:10 – The Danish Manager ProblemHow one man ends up on both lists at once. 11:23 – Spurs Secret Santa: Gifts for the ClubSome ideas should never leave the room. 12:17 – The Single Left Boot (5 & 12 Explained)A cryptic Spurs present finally decoded. 13:23 – Anime, Consolation Gifts & Idle FootballersA tangent nobody predicted. 14:33 – Sensual Gifts & Festive OversharingThings take a turn. 22:30 – Hosting Spurs for Christmas DinnerInvites sent. Some rescinded. 32:10 – Spurs Memories, Nostalgia & WaffleChristmas reflections, Spurs-style. 44:20 – Final YAPSmas ThoughtsLoose ends loosely tied. 53:20 – YAPS OutMercifully. ⏱️

    FranksGiving YAPS S01E05

    This month on YAPS, we’re serving up a full Franksgiving special — and the main course is the big question every Spurs fan is chewing on: With Spurs looking strangely flat, strangely familiar, and strangely confusing under Frank, the lads dig into the vibe, the identity, the fanbase mood, and whether this project is moving forward, standing still, or drifting like steam off a cooling turkey. We also highlight Hannah’s fantastic article on LGBTQ+ visibility in football in our Skeet of the Month — a powerful, thoughtful read for anyone who cares about the future of the sport. 📎 Read Hannah’s article:https://edition.cnn.com/2025/11/25/sport/soccer-womens-lgbtq-importance-intl?cid=ios_app If you’re hungry for thoughtful, funny, emotionally honest Spurs chat, this episode is absolutely stuffed. 🦃 Is Thomas Frank actually the right manager for Tottenham Hotspur?
