Advertise on podcast: Yet Another Podcast about Spurs

There are two Tottenham Hotspurs at the moment. Spurs Women are flying, playing lovely football and giving us the unfamiliar experience of actually looking forward to watching Tottenham. We talk Martin Ho, Olivia Holdt, Signe Gaupset, Victoria Pelova and whether this team can genuinely challenge for a top-three WSL finish. Then we have to talk about the men. Bottom of the league, still without a win and somehow leaving us debating whether Roberto De Zerbi needs more time or whether things are already getting rather uncomfortable. We discuss the performances behind the results, Kulusevski as a possible number nine, Richarlison's bizarre situation, Mathys Tel, injury management and some decidedly questionable squad planning. And finally: has Spurs built a small, technical side at precisely the moment the Premier League has embraced Meatball Football? Plus, Manchester City gets exactly 30 seconds each, we establish that 5'8" is a perfectly respectable height, and unveil the revolutionary footballing strategy of playing better more often. COYS.

It's been a busy old month at Tottenham Hotspur and the YAPS boys are back to discuss it all.Ably led as always by Owen, the Yappers Stu & Fergus take a look at the players we've signed, the players we've sold and address Doug's Meta Question "Who is Tottenham Hotspur Right Now?"Throw in nominations for skeets of the month and some laughs and this month's pod simmers nicely.Find the Yappers on BlueSky here:@[email protected]@[email protected]@cadsjustcads.bsky.socialSelect which players YOU think should be in Spurs 25 man squad here: https://audit78.fr/tools/squad-tracker.html?squad=first_team

Undeniable Every club has players supporters argue about. This episode is about the ones who shouldn't need defending anymore. We discuss the Spurs players who've forced their way into the conversation through performances rather than reputation, like Djed Spence and will Lucas Bergvall stick around and fight for a spot in the team in Roberto De Zerbi's first full season. There's also plenty of transfer chat, debate over Romero's future, the captaincy, squad depth, and which players still have a point to prove. As always, it's equal parts optimism, football chat and the occasional wildly confident prediction. COYS.

One season. Countless questionable decisions. Time for some awards. In our annual COYSky End of Season Awards, we hand out the silverware that really matters, debating the best goal, best signing, young player, biggest disappointment, manager of the season, transfer chaos, memes and, ultimately, Spurs' Player of the Season. Along the way there's plenty of disagreement, a healthy amount of self-inflicted suffering, and several reminders of why supporting Tottenham is never, ever straightforward. If you've been through the season with us, this is the perfect way to put a lid on it. Until next season gives us a whole new set of problems. COYS.

Strangely UnSpursy. A phrase not often associated with Tottenham Hotspur, but one that crops up surprisingly often in this discussion. The YAPS crew review the final weeks of the season, reflect on the Leeds, Chelsea and Everton matches, and pick out the players who dragged Spurs over the line. There's also a deep dive into the Thomas Frank experiment, why Roberto De Zerbi may be a better fit, and what Spurs should do with a squad facing another big summer of change. Along the way we discuss Kinski's rise, Bentancur's revival, Romero's future, Kevin Danso's role, and the results of Doug's fan survey on what supporters want from the club next season. Football. Transfers. Questionable opinions. Just another podcast about Spurs. COYS.

Spurs don’t need a tweak. They need a reset. In The Hard Reset Brigade, we react to a run of results that raises more questions than answers. A new manager arrives, injuries pile up, performances fluctuate — and suddenly relegation talk doesn’t feel quite so ridiculous. We get into the Sunderland loss, Brighton draw, Wolves win, and the strange mix of hope and frustration running through it all. Is this a team on the edge of something better… or something worse? There’s talk of a full reset, a possible clear-out, and the uncomfortable idea that this might just be where Spurs are right now. Recorded at a moment that may already have shifted —but the feeling? Still familiar. COYS. ReferencesThe Game Is About Glory - https://thegameisaboutglory.co.uk/Poddenham Podspur - https://open.spotify.com/show/1uaXXok7JdpKOqApubr2cR

Spurs are back… and so is the chaos. After a turbulent run — including a difficult result at home to Forest — the pressure ramps up and the questions start coming thick and fast. In this episode of YAPS, we dig into what we’re actually seeing on the pitch. Are there genuine signs of improvement, or are results telling the real story? Why does every setback seem to trigger relegation talk? And how much of the current mood is being shaped by reaction rather than reality? We also get into individual errors, squad confidence vs quality, and the bigger question hanging over everything — where are Spurs actually heading? Recorded at a moment in time that may not have lasted very long……but the themes? Very familiar. COYS.

Spurs lose the North London Derby… but is the reaction worse than the performance? In Episode 8, How ’Bout “Dem Apples”, the YAPS crew dig into life under Igor Tudor after just a handful of sessions in charge, the sudden wave of relegation panic, and whether social media narratives are running miles ahead of reality. We debate the Van de Ven clip, the Romero criticism, and whether this is really about the manager — or something more structural at the club. There’s also a sliding doors conversation about key moments in Spurs history, and a look at how Spurs Women might actually be showing the blueprint for identity and recruitment. Measured takes. Gallows humour. A few apples thrown.

🚨 Emergency pod alert! The klaxon is going off because the nightmare is finally over: Thomas Frank is gone — “Frank has been ferted, his chips have been alerted” and Spurs have to figure out what comes next. This is a YAPS x CADS mash-up, running through: How long we were “Frank out” (and which results felt like the point of no return) The real question: interim or permanent — and whether Spurs even have a plan Interim options: U21 boss shout, Heitinga, Ryan Mason (with a spicy Harry Redknapp 2-days-a-week cameo idea) The conspiracy corner: Jan Vertonghen as figurehead?! Bigger picture: injuries, squad balance, recruitment, boardroom chaos, and the relegation fear The nostalgia debate: Poch as the feel-good fix… or a risky rerun? And to finish, we go round the table: one name for the next permanent Spurs manager — and yes, it turns into a very familiar clean sweep… 💬 Drop your pick for interim + permanent in the comments. COYS.

January was a dog of a month for Spurs, and Frank-ball is starting to resemble sausages left in a hot car boot—soft, smelly, and not fit for consumption. While we mashed Dortmund for breakfast in the Champions League, we continue to roll over in the league, leaving us 15th with little to relish. Join Owen, Stu, and special guest Fergus as they discuss our January struggles, the thin transfer window, tactical frustrations, and whether our squad quality should have us much higher in the table. We're avoiding the Frank Out debate (we've made our feelings clear), but there's plenty to discuss about squad depth, injuries, player performances, and whether we're just one proper manager and director of football away from turning it around. Plus: Doug's meta question about what it would ACTUALLY take to win the Premier League, our favorite skeets from BlueSky, and the ultimate hypothetical—would you take relegation if it meant winning the Champions League?

YAPSmas has arrived — and festive discipline immediately goes out the window. In our first-ever YAPSmas Special, host Owen puts the YAPS crew through a run of seasonal questions designed to be light-hearted, thoughtful, and vaguely organised. Naturally, it all goes off the rails. What follows is a gloriously scattergun Tottenham Hotspur conversation that hops between eras, players, managers, memories, and absurd hypotheticals — from Martin Jol to Mourinho, Pochettino to Postecoglou — with modern Spurs chat colliding head-on with nostalgia, Christmas nonsense, and some deeply questionable gift ideas. There are serious football points in here.There are also moments where football logic leaves the room entirely. If you like your Spurs content neat and structured, this might not be for you.If you like it messy, opinionated, festive, and accidentally funny — welcome.

This month on YAPS, we’re serving up a full Franksgiving special — and the main course is the big question every Spurs fan is chewing on: With Spurs looking strangely flat, strangely familiar, and strangely confusing under Frank, the lads dig into the vibe, the identity, the fanbase mood, and whether this project is moving forward, standing still, or drifting like steam off a cooling turkey. We also highlight Hannah’s fantastic article on LGBTQ+ visibility in football in our Skeet of the Month — a powerful, thoughtful read for anyone who cares about the future of the sport. 📎 Read Hannah’s article:https://edition.cnn.com/2025/11/25/sport/soccer-womens-lgbtq-importance-intl?cid=ios_app If you’re hungry for thoughtful, funny, emotionally honest Spurs chat, this episode is absolutely stuffed. 🦃 Is Thomas Frank actually the right manager for Tottenham Hotspur?
