  • S2E32 | Psychology at Spurs: Dan Abrahams on Control, Chaos, and the Crowd

    S2E32 | Psychology at Spurs: Dan Abrahams on Control, Chaos, and the Crowd
    Jan 29 2026
    We’re joined by sports psychologist Dan Abrahams to talk about what’s really happening inside a player’s head when the pressure hits. Dan explains his “ANTS” idea (automatic negative thoughts), why mistakes snowball, and how crowd emotion can seep into decision-making. We also get into “game face” as a practical tool, the difference between high and low performance mindsets, and why culture matters if you want any of this to stick. Proper fascinating, and very Spurs-relevant right now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • S2E31 | The Tottenham Hotspur Squad Audit

    S2E31 | The Tottenham Hotspur Squad Audit
    Jan 20 2026
    We stop doing the “everyone’s rubbish” routine and actually audit the squad. What’s a genuine upgrade, what’s just frustration, and who simply doesn’t fit. Vicario and the modern keeper problem, Dragusin as the obvious sale, Udogie’s injuries, Porro’s trade off, midfield balance (and the Paulinha debate), the Kulusevski and Maddison contract time bomb, and why Tel is the one attacker we’re building around. Plus, we end with the uncomfortable truth: even if you bin Richarlison and send Kolo Muani back, you still need a proper number nine, and Jon’s punt is Osimhen. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • S2E31 | Why Spurs Fans Will Love Gallagher

    S2E31 | Why Spurs Fans Will Love Gallagher
    Jan 14 2026
    We’re back with Harry Brooks and we get stuck into Conor Gallagher to Spurs, why he’s basically plug and play, and why managers love him. We talk about what he actually gives Spurs off the ball, how he can become the press trigger we’ve been missing, and why his engine and discipline make him such a reliable week to week performer. There’s also a bit on Valiz likely heading back to Brazil, a quick Souza check in, and the bigger question of squad balance and what this means for Sarr, Gray and Bergvall. Plus, yes, Villa fans catching strays after Gallagher picks Spurs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
