    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We try to work out what’s actually going wrong at Spurs, and whether sacking Thomas Frank even fixes anything. There’s a lot of anger about the football, but we keep coming back to the bigger issue: the club looks totally unaligned, with no clear sporting lead, no agreed identity, and recruitment that feels reactive rather than planned. We get into the “Tottenham DNA” idea, why managers take all the heat when they don’t control half the decisions, and why getting the right director of football matters more than another reset in the dugout. Along the way we hit the injuries, the grim reality of being down to the bare bones in midfield, the kit drop chaos, and the familiar Spurs fan experience of trying to explain all this to your kids without traumatising them too much. Plus a few listener questions and a bit of therapy-by-moan to see us through. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    S15E46 - Mug
    Jan 8 2026
    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We’re not angry. We’re not hopeful. We’re not even disappointed. We’re just… numb. After another Spurs defeat, we try to work out whether numbness is actually the healthiest coping mechanism. There’s talk of wanting to go blind, fans squaring up to players, Romero’s baffling Instagram post, Vicario booting it long, Bentancur turning back, and whether drinking tea out of that mug should be a sackable offence. Somewhere in the mess there are decent goals, half-chances, and a faint memory of joy. Mostly though, it’s therapy. Dark, funny, bleak therapy. Up the Spurs. Learn more about your ad choices.

    S15E45 - Frankly, This Is Grim
    Jan 5 2026
    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We’re back after the Sunderland draw and honestly, it’s getting properly bleak. We talk about why that first half somehow looked “good” to some of us, why the second half felt like the usual collapse, and the stat that made us feel a bit ill: no open-play goals in five league games. We get into Frank’s brutal approval rating, the midfield’s total allergy to progressive passing, and whether the club even knows what it’s trying to be right now. Plus transfer chat, the structure behind the scenes, and the uncomfortable question: are we basically just waiting for Poch? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    S15E44 - Bored, Angry And Spurs
    Jan 2 2026
    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/thefightingcock Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! We go full therapy session after the Brentford nil nil. Boredom, anger, Frank fatigue, timewasting on 60 minutes, selling Brennan Johnson, and the creeping fear that Spurs have stopped even trying to win football matches. There’s blame for everyone, coaches included, nostalgia for Ange, existential dread about being Spurs, and a lot of laughs because what else are you meant to do. It’s bleak, it’s funny, and it’s very Tottenham. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    THE LAB | Luka Vuskovic Is Not Normal
    Dec 30 2025
    We’re back with coach Harry Brooks to deep-dive on wunderkid Luka Vuskovic and why the hype is getting silly for an 18-year-old centre-back on loan at Hamburg. We chat through what makes him so dominant, why his aerial numbers are outrageous, how he plays off both feet, and why he keeps popping up with goals like he’s a striker. We also get into the one obvious weakness in his profile, whether he can handle the Premier League right now, and what Spurs even do if he comes back when Romero and Van de Ven are already nailed-on starters. Plus a quick detour into what smart development actually looks like and why rushing the steps is rarely worth it. Sign up to Harry's incredible work here on Patreon. Learn more about your ad choices.

    S15E43 - Jam Tarts and Low Blocks
    Dec 29 2025
    We finally won a game of football, so obviously we’re going to overthink every second of it. Sean Kray makes his Fighting Cock debut with an elite Mr Kipling bar, Ben’s fresh back from the away end, and we try to work out why the vibes were so good even when the football was… not. We get into Frank’s setup, the constant fan backlash, Odobert actually giving us something to latch onto, and whether we’re being too harsh on the manager or not harsh enough. Plus: Porro stress, Palhinha discourse, Richarlison redemption arc (sort of), and what we actually need in January. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Donate to Legend On The Bench now and help save people from suicide: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/legend-on-the-bench We somehow turned a Spurs pod into sinkhole chat, canal-boat paranoia, and then a genuinely weird, rare thing: feeling a bit of pride after losing to Liverpool. Two red cards, a ref performance that made no sense, and yet the stadium noise actually lifted us. We get into Romero’s chaos, Spence looking class, Richarlison coming on like a man possessed, and whether the players are actually buying what Frank’s selling. Plus a quick word on the To Talk Is To Do campaign and why it matters this time of year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
