S15E65 - Pulling Together

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We try to make sense of yet another mad week at Spurs. Tudor’s gone, De Zerbi’s looming, and we’re left asking the same question again... who’s actually running this club? We chat through the decision making, the lack of structure, whether sacking Tudor changes anything, and why this all feels like it could still get worse. There’s also a bit on De Zerbi, Dyche, Poch, and what the hell we even need right now to stay up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We started with chants. We ended with existential dread. Somewhere between 10,000 fans welcoming the team bus and Spurs collapsing on the pitch, everything went completely sideways. There’s stepmums talking about curtains mid-game, emotional damage, panic, and the realisation that this isn’t just football anymore… it’s affecting livelihoods. We try to make sense of it all, fail miserably, and just about hold it together. Kind of. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We chat to Stu and Jay about how the idea to greet the team bus before Forest came together, how quickly the club, police and fan groups got behind it, and why this week has felt completely different around Spurs. We get into the disconnect between players and fans, why the mood has shifted so suddenly, and why this match feels massive for the future of the club. Most of all, this is about what can happen when Spurs fans pull in the same direction. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We finally feel something again. After months of numbness, Spurs put in back to back performances that actually give us belief. We talk about why the Atletico result might be the real turning point, how Igor Tudor seems to have flipped the mood inside the dressing room, and why this suddenly feels like a team again. There’s love for Archie Gray, a look at Mathys Tel’s raw potential, and a bigger chat about why jeopardy might be exactly what football needs to matter again. Plus, the Forest game looms, the fans are mobilising, and for the first time in a long time it feels like we’ve got a chance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

For the first time in 2026, we’ve actually got something positive to talk about. We look back at Tottenham’s dramatic late equaliser at Anfield, Richarlison’s big moment, and why this point could matter far beyond just the table. We talk about the injury crisis, the performances of Sarr, Archie Gray, Danso and Tell, and whether there are finally signs of fight, belief and togetherness in this Spurs side. Plus, we touch on the fans, the atmosphere building around Forest, and whether this could be the result that gives us a chance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We dip into the Patreon questions and end up covering just about everything: grim workplace toilet stories, Sunderland away loyalty point obsession, the need for Spurs fans to pull together for the run-in, and the brutal reality of more injuries at the worst possible time. We chat about the gap between fans and players, whether the dressing room is broken, the Nick Boucher stuff, the retractable pitch theory doing the rounds online, and whether winning in Bilbao was still worth everything that’s followed. Proper Q&A pod chaos, basically. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We look back at the chaos of Spurs’ defeat to Atletico, from Kinsky’s nightmare start and Tudor’s ruthless decision to hook him early, to the state of the pitch, Van de Ven’s let-off, and the wider mess around the club. There’s chat about culture, Levy, why Spurs keep collapsing in big moments, and whether this is the bleakest it has ever felt supporting the club. Somehow, despite everything, we’re still trying to work out if the tie is alive and whether there is any way back from the mess on and off the pitch. Learn more about your ad choices.

Donate to Marcus Jones fundraiser: https://www.justgiving.com/page/perranporthafcquiznight With no game to ruin the weekend, we opened the floor for a full Q&A and it went exactly where you would expect: strange work stories, irrational Spurs superstitions, ticket price arguments, and a proper look at what relegation would mean for this squad. We talk about who stays, who goes, why so many of these players look checked out, whether Tudor has any chance of turning it around, and why the thought of Pochettino still gives us something to cling to.

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We try to make sense of another miserable night as Spurs slide deeper into the mess, and honestly, it gets pretty bleak. There’s talk of panic attacks, lines in the sand, Van de Ven frustration, player accountability, whether Tudor is seeing something none of us can, and if there is actually any way out of this at all. It’s dark, it’s angry, it’s weirdly funny in places, and it’s probably the most honest reflection yet of what supporting Spurs feels like right now. Learn more about your ad choices.

We woke up at stupid o’clock and did what any sane Spurs fan does: immediately spiralled. With relegation starting to feel properly real, we talk through the dread, the anger, and the weird mix of acceptance and panic that’s taken over the fanbase. We get into why people are genuinely talking about not renewing, how years of mad recruitment and constant managerial pivots have left us with a Frankenstein squad, and why Tudor already feels like another roll of the dice. There’s a bit on the “agenda” chat too: not because we think there’s a conspiracy, but because the inconsistency and the Premier League banter account nonsense is driving everyone mad. Palace is the acid test. If we don’t show up there, it’s going to get really dark, really fast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
