It’s been a week. Between Forest and a one-year-old with hand, foot and mouth (plus the looming arrival of baby number two), I’m running on fumes. Forest has me feeling particularly low about Spurs. Because here’s the thing: it came after what you could call a ‘good’ week. If you squinted hard enough, you could see tweaks, changes, signs of life. Sure, it was against poor-quality opposition, but there were glimmers: full-backs moving inside to create passing lanes (and thriving), front-four interplay and connection, Xavi Simons actually, you know, having the ball.

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
