The Fighting Cock (Tottenham Hotspur Podcast)

We’re joined by Sean Kray and Jon Bass for a full Spurs meltdown, starting with the Big Man Army and ending with genuine relegation fear. We talk Romero’s red, injuries piling up, why Frank gets more media slack than Ange ever did, and whether Romero’s just become a liability. Then we spiral into the only lifeline that makes sense right now: Pochettino. Finally, we look ahead to Newcastle a

We go full superstar discourse on Xavi Simons and why he just feels indestructible, then pivot into the Romero “disgrace” fallout and that weird Viaplay story about Spurs blocking Thomas Frank interviews. There’s also a proper moan about the Lange interview, January’s no-plan-B approach, Solanke being outrageously important, and a vital debate on whether wearing red to Spurs should be a bootable offence.

We get into Romero’s Instagram post and whether “disgrace” was a translation issue or another not-so-subtle dig at the people running Spurs. From a historically dead January window to PSR reality, loan market weirdness, and why the club feels completely directionless, we ask the big one: did we actually try and fail, or just choose not to act? Plus: how much slack does Frank get when the squad is held together with tape, and does the lack of signings quietly buy him time?

We thought we were in for one of those grim afternoons. City battered us first half, we booed like we couldn’t even be bothered, and then somehow Spurs came out a completely different team. We get into the shape change, the subs that flipped it, and how we went from aimless build-up to actually hurting them, with Solanke back doing proper number nine things. Big chat on Xavi Simons running the show, Gallagher and Sarr giving us legs and bite, and why starting games like that first half is still the maddening part. Plus: Frank’s “unsackable” chat, Arsenal fans being embarrassing, Villa bitterness, and a little deadline-day loan dog watch.

We’re buzzing after a proper away performance in Frankfurt, even with half the squad missing and lads playing out of position. We get into the back three, why it finally felt calm, and why Paulinha and Spence basically shut down a whole side of the pitch. Then it’s January, injuries are months not days, so do we sign bodies or hold our nerve and avoid buying rubbish for the sake of it? Plus, Xavi Simons, Premier League football stinks, and yes, we absolutely talk City and the pure entertainment of Arsenal fans panicking.
