Tottenham - Home and Away

SPURS WIN AT STAMFORD BRIDGE! Is Roberto De Zerbi finally getting Tottenham firing?
In this episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme is joined by Keith Mainland from Denver, Colorado, standing in for Glen, to celebrate Tottenham's fantastic victory away at Chelsea and preview the upcoming home match against Crystal Palace.
After years of frustration at Stamford Bridge, Spurs finally delivered a performance to savour. We discuss the incredible scenes among supporters, Tottenham's dominant possession, the impressive midfield partnership of Tonali and Fernandez, and the performances of Antonín Kinský, Van Hecke and Mathys Tel.
There's plenty to unpack from the Chelsea game, including the young goalkeeper's costly mistake, Cole Palmer's red card, VAR controversy and Tel's brilliant late solo goal that brought back memories of Son Heung-min.
We also discuss the worrying injury to James Maddison, the returning Kulusevski, and whether Marmoush, Solanke and Kudus can provide the goals Spurs desperately need.
Then we turn our attention to Crystal Palace at home. Palace arrive in poor form and with pressure mounting on their manager, but Spurs have struggled against teams defending deep. Can De Zerbi build on the Chelsea victory and deliver another three points?
Other talking points include:
Why Spurs still need a proper goalscorer in January.
Whether Johan Lange has built another unbalanced squad.
The lack of first-team opportunities for Luca Williams-Barnett.
Why selling Will Lankshear and Djed Spence could prove costly.
Graeme's AI assistant Waddle predicting the Palace result.
Keith's own football team taking inspiration from Tottenham!
Graeme predicts 2-1 Spurs, while Keith is going big with a 3-0 victory!
Is this finally the start of Tottenham's revival?

Spurs finally have a Premier League win! But can they build on it against Chelsea?
In this episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen review Tottenham's much-needed 3-1 victory over Coventry City and preview the weekend's London derby against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
After a miserable start to the season, Roberto De Zerbi's Spurs finally gave us something to cheer about. We discuss the difference James Maddison made on his return to the starting XI, brilliant goals from Omar Marmoush and Maddison, a rare goal for Ben Davies, and the welcome return of Dejan Kulusevski after his lengthy injury absence.
We also look at De Zerbi's tactical changes, including the switch to a back three with wing-backs, the performances of Tonali, Tosin Adarabioyo, Van Hecke and Archie Gray, plus the latest injury concerns surrounding Andy Robertson and Tonali.
There's plenty of discussion about what happens when Spurs' injured players return. With Xavi Simons, Savio, Mudryk and Odobert still to come back, could Tottenham suddenly have too many attacking midfielders? And what does that mean for exciting academy prospect Luca Williams-Barnett?
We also discuss De Zerbi's Marbella training camp, his ban on phones during team meals, the importance of squad togetherness, and whether the club should develop stronger loan partnerships with lower-league clubs.
Finally, we preview Chelsea vs Tottenham, including Chelsea's defensive vulnerabilities, their goalkeeper situation, the threat of Cole Palmer and Moisés Caicedo, possible team selections, and our score predictions.
Can Spurs finally end their Stamford Bridge hoodoo, or will Chelsea once again spoil the party?

Can Spurs finally get their first Premier League win of the season?
In this short solo episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme previews Monday night's crucial home match against Coventry City, looks back at the encouraging signs from the draw at Manchester United, and rounds up the latest news from Roberto De Zerbi's squad.
With Tottenham bottom of the Premier League, just three points from six games and only three goals scored, the pressure is mounting. The late equaliser against Manchester United showed some much-needed fight, particularly after Spurs went down to ten men, but now those improvements need to translate into victories.
We look at Coventry's recent resurgence under Frank Lampard, including impressive wins against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, and why this is far from an easy home fixture.
There's also news from Tottenham's four-day warm-weather training camp in Marbella, where De Zerbi has been working on fitness, team cohesion and getting his players ready for a crucial run of matches.
On the injury front, it's mixed news. Savio and Lucas Bergvall are both ruled out, Pedro Porro remains unavailable, and Bentancur begins his suspension. But there's a major boost with Dejan Kulusevski confirmed to return to the bench, while exciting youngster Luca Williams-Barnett could also be involved.
We discuss the potential starting XI, whether Maddison is ready to feature more prominently, and how Spurs can finally turn possession and promising attacking play into goals.
With Chelsea away coming next, is Coventry already a must-win game for Roberto De Zerbi?
Graeme gives his team selection thoughts and predicts a tense 2-1 Tottenham victory.

Come On You Spurs!

In this episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen are joined by Richard Stafford from Auckland Spurs to preview Tottenham’s trip to Manchester United and discuss the wider news around the club.
With Spurs finally back after another long international break, we look at whether the pause has helped or hurt Roberto De Zerbi’s squad, the risks of players returning from international duty, and whether the likes of Maddison, Kulusevski, Udogie, Kudus, Van de Ven, Van Hecke, Fernandez, Bergvall, Gallagher, Tel, Marmoush and Solanke could shape the team at Old Trafford.
We also dig into Spurs’ poor start, whether there are still visible signs of De Zerbi’s coaching, the issue of confidence in the final third, and why the attacking players badly need to get the goal monkey off their backs.
A big part of the episode also focuses on the Manchester City charges, what they mean for the Premier League, how Chelsea changed the transfer market before them, whether Spurs and Manchester United are among the clubs who tried to operate properly, and what punishment would actually protect the integrity of English football.
Finally, we give our score predictions for Manchester United vs Spurs, discuss the upcoming Coventry game, and ask whether Spurs are already drifting into dangerous territory if results don’t improve soon.
Can Spurs show some fight at Old Trafford — or are we heading deeper into the Redknapp rescue zone?

The Dynamic Duo are back together on Tottenham – Home and Away as Graeme and Glen return after a few weeks apart — and, naturally, Spurs have given them plenty to talk about.
With Tottenham stuck in a long international break, we discuss whether the time away could actually help Roberto De Zerbi’s squad. With players like Maddison, Kulusevski, Kudus, Udogie, Solanke and others staying behind or returning from injury, could this break give Spurs the reset they badly need?
We also round up how Tottenham players have got on during international duty, including Marmoush, Mikey Moore, Yang Min-hyeok, Mathys Tel, Fernandez, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Williams-Barnett, Malachi Hardy and others across the youth teams.
There’s also a look ahead to a tough run of fixtures, with Manchester United away, Coventry at home, and Chelsea away coming up — and whether Spurs could find themselves in real trouble if the poor start continues.
The second half of the episode focuses on the huge Manchester City verdict, what it could mean for the Premier League, how it affects clubs like Spurs, whether titles should be stripped, what punishment would be fair, and why Chelsea’s financial history should not be forgotten either.
We also touch on Pochettino’s comments, Daniel Levy’s possible view, Lee Judges randomly appearing in Dubai, and the latest Harry Kane return clause rumours.

Come on you Spurs.

In this short solo episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme looks back at two frustrating Spurs performances: the goalless draw against Everton and the 3-1 League Cup defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.
First up, it’s the Everton match, watched with the Amsterdam Spurs supporters at Café Parck. Tottenham had plenty of the ball, dominated territory, and showed effort — but once again lacked quality and decisiveness in the final third. Four league games in, still no league goal, and the frustration around Spurs’ attacking play continues to grow.
Then we move on to Anfield, where Spurs were knocked out of the League Cup by Liverpool. Despite the result, there were some signs of life: more direct football, better chances created, Kudus getting 75 minutes, Tosin impressing on his first start, and Gallagher finally getting Spurs on the scoresheet against top-level opposition. But missed chances and defensive mistakes proved costly again.
Finally, Graeme previews the weekend’s home match against Aston Villa — a very early-season clash between 17th and 19th, with both sides still looking for their first league win. Can Spurs finally score in the league, lift the home crowd, and start turning performances into results?

In this episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Glen is joined in Melbourne by returning guest Rossi Biddle and first-time guest Chris Reynolds to pick through Spurs’ worrying start to the season.
We discuss the lack of goals, the poor decision-making in the final third, and whether Tottenham’s £400m rebuild has actually made the team better yet. There’s debate around Marmoush, Savio, Mathys Tel, Solanke, and the strange situation with Richarlison, who looks completely out of the first-team picture despite being the one striker most suited to attacking crosses into the box.
We also look at the defence after the Forest game: Van de Ven, Van Hecke, Udogie, Porro, Kinsky, and whether Spurs still look too open despite the money spent at the back. The panel ask whether the club has a pathway problem with young players like Lankshear, Scarlett, Parrott, Mikey Moore and Bergvall, and whether Tottenham are selling too early.
There’s also plenty on Mudryk, his injury, his past under Roberto De Zerbi, whether the signing was a low-risk punt or another panic move, and whether the squad still lacks creativity with Maddison and Kulusevski unavailable.
Finally, we preview the home match against Everton, discuss whether the stadium could turn toxic if Spurs start badly again, and give our score predictions.
Three league games, no goals, and pressure already building — can Spurs finally get going?

Come on you Spurs.

In this episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Glen is joined by Richard and Hamish from New Zealand Spurs as we try something a little different — bringing in more voices from around the world while Graeme gets a rare 2am rest.
The main focus is Tottenham’s transfer window. We discuss the big-money arrivals of Tonali, Fernandez, Van Hecke, Senesi, Robertson, Tosin, Savio, Marmoush and Mudryk, and ask whether Spurs have genuinely backed Roberto De Zerbi — or whether the club ended the window in a bit of a panic.
There’s debate over whether Marmoush was the “bomba” signing, whether Spurs still lack a proper number nine, and whether the late moves for Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo make sense. We also look at the major outgoings, including Romero, Spence, Vuskovic, Bissouma, Richarlison, and several young players.
We then reflect on the worrying start to the season, especially the Newcastle defeat, the mentality issue after going behind, De Zerbi’s challenge to make the new squad click, and whether fans are overreacting after two poor league results.
Finally, we preview the trip to Nottingham Forest, discuss team news around Savio, Marmoush, Mudryk and Kulusevski, and give predictions for what already feels like an important early-season match.
Can De Zerbi bring this new-look Spurs squad together quickly — or are we in for a few more painful weeks?

Come on you Spurs.

In this episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme is joined by George Spice to look back at the weekend’s disappointing Newcastle defeat and round up the latest Spurs transfer news as we head into the final 24 hours of the window.
With Glen travelling back to Melbourne, it’s a family edition as Graeme and George reflect on the matchday experience, meeting two first-time Spurs fans from Jacksonville, and the painful contrast between a brilliant day out and another poor result on the pitch.
We discuss Spurs’ 2-0 defeat to Newcastle: a better first half, missed chances, the penalty appeal on Marmoush, the collapse after the first goal, set-piece concerns, Ilanga’s opener, Wissa’s overhead kick, and whether De Zerbi’s comments about mentality are already becoming a major theme.
There’s also discussion on Robertson, Udogie, Van de Ven, Van Hecke, Porro, Archie Gray, Kudus, Savio, Tell, Marmoush, and why Spurs still look short of goals despite showing some better passing patterns.
Then we get into transfer deadline chaos: Mikey Moore to Cologne, Souza to Porto, Pape Matar Sarr to Juventus, Danso wanting out, Richarlison’s uncertain future, Ndiaye slipping away to Man City, possible Chelsea links with Tosin Adarabioyo, Pulisic, and Mudryk, plus whether Spurs are finally being ruthless enough with the squad rebuild.
Two games, two defeats, no goals scored, bottom of the league — but is this just a rough start while De Zerbi’s Spurs takes shape, or something more worrying?

In this episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen look back at Spurs’ disappointing opening-day defeat away at Brentford, preview the Charlton Athletic League Cup tie, look ahead to the weekend’s home match against Newcastle, and round up the latest transfer news.
Glen gives his view from inside the Brentford end, where Spurs looked miles off the pace against a well-drilled Brentford side. We discuss Roberto De Zerbi’s comments, whether pre-season left the squad underprepared, the lack of cohesion, Richarlison’s struggles, Mikey Moore’s bright moments, Archie Gray as captain, Kinsky, Tonali, Senesi, Van Hecke, Robertson and why the team looked more like a collection of players than a proper side.
We also look at the new attacking arrivals: Savio and Marmoush, whether Spurs are overpaying, how quickly they can be integrated, and whether the club still needs a proper number 10 with Maddison injured and Kulusevski/Zabi unavailable.
Then we preview Charlton in the League Cup and discuss why this competition matters even more without European football, before looking ahead to Newcastle at home — Glen’s first home game of the season in person with Graeme.
Plenty to unpack after a rough start. Is Brentford a wake-up call, or a warning sign?
