Cover art by Frederikke Hejbøl Jensen. Follow her on Instagram. Dan Kilpatrick joins us on The Lab as Tottenham finally feel like a club moving in the right direction. We discuss whether the early-season criticism missed the signs of progress, why De Zerbi’s football is bringing us back in, and how Tonali and Fernandes are transforming our midfield. We also look at smarter injury management, the power handed to De Zerbi and whether this feels like the start of something lasting. Plus, Dan reflects on his relationship with Ange and how covering a club changes the way you see it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
We’re joined by Kish from LilywhiteLab to break down how De Zerbi’s Tottenham is taking shape, and why the Chelsea performance showed far more than the highlights could capture. We discuss Fernandes unlocking Tonali, Maddison pulling opponents out of position, and why technical centre-backs are essential to making it all work. There’s also Kinsky’s bravery on the ball, Kudus giving us a way out of the press, and the joy of watching wingers who actually take their man on. But with Spurs increasingly controlling games, who turns that dominance into goals? We examine Solanke’s role, the challenge of breaking down deeper defences and where the next major signing might be needed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Why would anyone voluntarily support Tottenham? Josh Emden joins us on The Lab to explain why Spurs might still be the best choice for a neutral, even when the football makes us miserable. We debate owner funding, the financial arguments around City and Chelsea, Daniel Levy’s complicated legacy and why Tottenham spending money seems to upset everyone. Have we built something worth being proud of, or are we just finding increasingly elaborate ways to cope? Plus, the difference between a successful business and a successful football team, why the suffering makes the good moments matter, and the absolute madness of knowing we’d do it all again.

Ben White joins us to unpack Tottenham’s finances. Why are Spurs reporting losses when the stadium generates so much money? What does ENIC’s cash injection actually mean? And how much room is there for another big transfer window? We discuss the difference between cash and accounting losses, how player sales help fund spending and whether there’s any substance to calls for Tottenham to be investigated. We also look at the potential fallout from the Manchester City case, whether Spurs could pursue compensation and our frustrations with Chelsea’s treatment. Plus, January spending possibilities and how qualifying for Europe could change the financial picture. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Please consider donating to Blood Cancer UK James Harris joins us to talk about his dad, their shared love of Tottenham and what it means to follow Spurs without him. From childhood trips to White Hart Lane and arguments over favourite players to watching their final game together in hospital, James shares the memories that made Tottenham inseparable from their relationship. We talk about grief, missing the post-match phone calls, reconnecting with his brother and how writing about his dad helped him process his loss. An honest, moving conversation about the club we inherit, the people we share it with and appreciating the time we have together. Read James' article here Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to The Lab. For this episode, I sat down with someone who means an enormous amount to this club and to all of us who support it: Ledley King. An academy graduate, our captain, a one-club man and now a member of Tottenham’s Hall of Fame. On a personal level, I’m incredibly grateful to have been given this opportunity. We spend so much time talking about Spurs and the people who’ve shaped our lives supporting it. Getting to have this conversation with Ledley was really special. We spoke about his bond with the fans, the years when Spurs started believing again, and what it took, physically and mentally, to keep pulling on that shirt. A huge thank you to Ledley for his time. I hope you enjoy the conversation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
We’re joined by Dan Kilpatrick for a wide-ranging Tottenham Hotspur discussion. We assess Richarlison’s uncertain future and whether Spurs have handled his potential exit well, before looking at the club’s major change in approach to injuries and player fitness under Roberto De Zerbi. We also discuss whether Tottenham’s £400m rebuild has genuinely lifted expectations, the logic behind the Mykhailo Mudryk move, why the squad still feels uncertain in key areas, and the midfield selection debate between Bentancur, Tonali, Fernandes and Gallagher.

Anatole Pang returns to The Lab to explain what’s really happening with Tottenham’s extraordinary summer spending. Why is net spend such a misleading way of judging ambition? Have Spurs actually spent far less than their Big Six rivals where it really matters? And after years of investing in the stadium and the club’s commercial infrastructure, are we finally seeing the payoff? We look at Tottenham’s estimated £700m–£1bn spending deficit, why buying three £20m players isn’t the same as buying one £60m player, how Spurs can afford to keep spending, and whether Daniel Levy deserves more credit for building the financial machine now being unleashed in the transfer market. Plus: PSR and SCR, football ownership, Manchester City, Chelsea, Abramovich, the future of the Premier League and why £100m transfers might not actually be as crazy as they look.
