The Fighting Cock (Tottenham Hotspur Podcast)

• S15E28 - Miles Off or Misunderstood?

  We are fifth and somehow it feels awful. In this episode we try to unpack why. We revisit the Chelsea defeat, Caicedo’s clinic, and how our press collapsed at home. We talk creativity, Xavi Simons learning on the job, and whether set pieces are carrying us. Is it teething problems or a tactical flaw. Do we give Thomas Frank time or start dreaming about the next manager. We debate booing, the Van de Ven and Spence moment, and Vicario keeping the score sensible. We just want Spurs to be good again, and we are searching. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

• S15E27 - Having Patience Across The Board

  EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We came in hot after Newcastle. We talked about why we look solid at the back and dangerous from set pieces, then why the other 80 percent of football is killing us right now. Spence showed good stuff but the shoelace corner is on us. Xavi needs minutes and patience. The physical step up is real and we need more ball users around him. We get into the striker problem, January hopes, and who actually moves the needle. Frank’s job was to make us harder to beat and he has, but we still need patterns and punch in open play. Then it is the Chelsea preview. Possession to them suits us in theory, the hoodoo does not. Can we treat it like an away game at home and nick it with Kudus, Kolo Muani and a set piece or two. There is a Reddit mailbag that goes off the rails, a NordVPN read that saves your hard drive and your marriage, and some halftime confessionals about the goals we missed while chasing beer and pizza. We finish with a little perspective on expectations, timelines and why we should probably stop hate-watching Arsenal for our own health. Learn more about your ad choices.

• S15E26 - Micky van de Ven

  Visit MedExpress.co.uk to check your eligibility and get £40 off with code TFC. We react to Tottenham’s 3–0 win away at Everton: a clinical, professional performance built on set-piece precision and defensive control. We break down Micky van de Ven’s brace, Pape Sarr’s late goal, and Guglielmo Vicario’s key saves that secured another clean sheet. We talk about Thomas Frank’s growing influence, the balance between pragmatism and style, and what this win says about Spurs’ development into a team that can grind results on tough away days. We also dig into the bigger picture: how set-pieces have become a defining weapon, what Van de Ven’s rise means for the back line, and whether Spurs can sustain this form in the race for the top four.

• S15E25 - Drawn To Conclusions

  EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! Spurs are tougher to beat but still searching for a spark. We unpack the 0–0 in Monaco, Vicario’s big night, and why the No. 10 keeps getting bypassed. Is the Bentancur–Palhinha double pivot leaving a chasm to the forwards, and could Kudus through the middle help the ball stick? We talk Archie Gray’s versatility, Porro’s playmaking, Richarlison’s struggles, and what changes once Solanke, Kulusevski, Maddison, and Romero return. Plus: patience with Thomas Frank, away vs home identity, and January priorities for a deep-lying playmaker and a left winger.
