Exorcised

Well, that couldn't have gone much better.The stats will back up the claim that Spurs were dominant in this game. Tottenham had 34 shots to Crystal Palace's 2 and some of those were REALLY good (including one that got missed).The early red card helped (how did the ref miss it initially?) but Tottenham still needed to break down a resolute Palace side.Then came THAT debut, the debut some of us have been waiting a long time for, and Luca Williams-Barnett didn't let us down.The boys get together to talk about yet another London derby and it's smiles all round for once.

The boys only bloody went and did it!We've waited years for a win at Stamford Bridge and we didn't just go and squeak a result, we slapped them round the face with a kipper and told them we'd be back for breakfast.This is not a BAD Chelsea side, we just made them look poor. This is not a BAD Chelsea manager, it's just our man in charge managed to outwit him.We said that Coventry win was the start of something, maybe we didn't know how right we were.

A win. At home. We’re as confused as you are.Spurs beat Coventry 3-1 and climbed off the bottom, so this is a CADS episode unlike any other this season: nobody quite knows how to behave. Stu, A and Ash work through the strange new feeling of three points while a makeshift back three somehow holds together.What we get into:Maddison back in the starting XI, scoring from outside the box, and Ash’s warning not to get carried away about his glass legsMarmoush’s goal, and whether the elbow should have ruled it out (we say the defender’s face was 50% to blame)Daddy Davies coming off the bench with a Welsh rarebit grass-cutter to seal it, making him somehow joint top scorerTonali running the whole pitch and finally showing why we paid what we didDeki announcing his return by flattening someone in the centre circleSolanke’s finishing, Van Hecke’s one-on-one defending, and the ever-growing injury listA live, ill-informed investigation into which player just had twinsMan of the match votes split between Tonali and Maddison. Next up is Chelsea on Saturday, which is always a quiet, uneventful affair. We’ll be back Monday evening to talk about it.Come on you Spurs.

Things are getting better.The football on the pitch is improving, important players seem fitter, we're getting the ball in the box more often and creating better chancesBUTWe still seem to be shooting ourselves in the foot (we really need to stop that). We're yet to win a home game and there's still a brittle edge to the team.So, let's get into it.And we may talk about those Manchester City charges. Just maybe.

The nightmare start to the season continues.We hoped that form-stricken Villa would come to form-stricker Tottenham and home advantage would pay off.But that's not the way things work nowadays for Spurs.Instead we saw a first half of chances for Tottenham, made to look foolish by the last few minutes before the break.Yes, Spurs scored.But they also defended like they were play Newcastle.Now we just need to be able to score AND defend.

Everton visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the game ends with shared points, a visibly irate Roberto De Zerbi and a bunch of boos from the home fans.Is this season all about survival already?Oh, and we're still yet to score a goal in the league.

Spurs win their first point of the season but fail to get a shot on target, no that overhit pass from Pedro Porro doesn't count.Are things improving? Are the fans running out of patience? Did VAR owe us one?Liverpool in the League Cup next, are hopes high? Hmmmmm.

Progress has been made both on and off the pitch at Tottenham Hotspur.Maybe not enough progress though.Spurs lost again to the visitors Newcastle United and some emotions from the last couple of seasons are still a bit raw in the Spurs community.A and Ash join Stu to discuss what went right, what went wrong and where things could still chance.#coys

That was NOT the game we were expecting.Marcel & Stu get together for a fully French and frank discussion on how that game went quite so badly wrong.Spurs got smothered by the Bees and Brentford were good value for their win.Let us know your thoughts on the game below.

Three CADS get together on the eve of the new season to talk about signings, sales and captaincy.CADS is a Spurs fans podcast that is typically released the day after a league match.Our next show will be on Sunday, the day after the season opener at Brentford.We also have regular call-in shows where YOU can come on and talk to us about anything Spurs related.COYS
