We started with 30 minutes of actual football and ended with a casualty ward and a goal so ugly only a mother could love it. But, hell, it's three points! On the Menu: The Injury Curse: Solanke out, Xavi out. Is the medical t...
Spurs looked like a real football team against Brighton, led by a midfield that actually did its job and a Xavi Simons masterclass. But between Pedro Porro’s positional amnesia, the threat of a Flappy return and the ongoing M...
*Impossible One point from twenty-four, a squad that treats a football like a live wasp, and a new manager already looking crestfallen. We dissect the Sunderland disaster, ponder the Muani prank, revisit Lange’s January negli...
Is Roberto De Zerbi a tactical genius or the world’s most expensive flight risk? This week, we dive into the Italian’s arrival at N17 — bringing high-energy Rondos, a fiery temperament and a salary that laughs in the face of ...
With Roberto De Zerbi imminent, we ask the tough questions here on Nice One Cyril: Is he a Poundshop Conte? What about the baggage, the tantrums, the flouncing out? And has he got decent hair?We discuss Ange revisionism and the board's troubling naivity. Plus Room 101 and our brand new and slig…
Just when we thought it was safe... Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Barry Graham talk “nothing” goals, baffling substitutions, Porro’s positioning, Romero’s shuffling and whether Micky has lost a yard. There’s also t...
Simon Lipson is joined by Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Lee Brown to pick through another very Spursy week. First up: the Atlético Madrid horror show , Kinsky's studless boots, Igor ’s icy touchline snub. Then a look at the grit...
Wolves won as many home PL games in a week as we’ve won since April 2025. Where's the next point coming from? Should we embrace relegation? Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Dave Bradshaw pick through the debris. The R...
Kevin and Simon with their visceral response to the horror show against Palace. Do the players care enough? Are they trying? Igor fitting square pegs into round holes again. Is there a way out? It's straight from the heart. #...
This week we attempt to deconstruct 90 minutes of absolute vapidity. From “Flappy” launching a free kick into the Thames to Gallagher’s invisibility cloak and Solanke playing so deep he was almost buried. Host Simon Lipson is...
Simon Lipson and Kevin Acott discuss: - Gooners drubbing aftermath - Igor hinting at deeper problems - Porro, Danso back - will that help? - Conspiracy theories - Fulham Irreverence, dodgy predictions, therapy. COYS THFC
This week, we dissect the 4-1 mauling that felt less like a NLD and more like a roadside accident. Who played well? Tough one. Who didn't? Easier. Igor's fiirst match in charge was like Thomas's last. Plus ca change. But he's...
Kev Acott and Simon Lipson discuss: - Spurs v Bottlers on Sunday - Igor's tactics and selection (not a clue) - Terry v VVD debate - Ledley was better than both - Poor old Brennan Therapy for Spurs fans. COYS THFC
Enter Igor Tudor : a man with 11 jobs in 12 years and a no wingers policy. But he's a chaos specialist. So is he the right man at the right moment? And will he stay if we win every match including the Champions League? Strang...
So Frank has finally been given the chop. What took them so long, fucksake? In this hastily assembled but remarkably polished pod, Kev, Julie, Lee and Simon look into Frank's legacy (yeah, we know), what went wrong and ask wh...
For 29 minutes, we actually looked a bit like a football team. Then Cuti Romero decided he’d seen enough. With Udogie hobbling off and the squad down to nine fit first-teamers (is that right, Cuti?) we’re officially in "looki...
The window has slammed shut and Cuti Romero hasn't held back. We dive into the Captain’s "disgraceful" Instagram broadside. And we ask: What does Johan Lange actually do? Plus The Vinai Era: Is the new CEO staying "on message...
The City game was a tale of two halves: pathetic to dynamic, chalk to cheese. Was the formation shift down to Thomas Frank’s genius or forced by injury? We break down the "moral courage" of Xavi Simons, praise 'man possessed'...
Fourth in the CL table, above “tiddlers” like Real, Barça, City and PSG. Second-best defence, Flappy apparently the best keeper on earth. We examine the performance and ask whether this was progress or just another glorious o...
Burnley: missed chance or gritty point? Either way, we didn’t end their miserable run, so… progress? We dig into the numbers (not boringly, promise) and explore whether our best attackers are also our biggest problem. Plus: O...
We're thrilled to welcome Mike Leigh from the brilliant Spurs Show podcast to Nice One Cyril. He and Simon Lipson discuss: - The Dortmund miracle - Muani downing tools - Thomas Frank's gabbling - Transfers - Burnley And lots ...
Home defeat to that useless lot. Frank said we were “close to something very good.” Romero called it “a disaster.” One of them is right. We cover baffling tactics, Tel hooked and dumped from the Champions League squad again, ...
Kev and Simon chat about Gallagher, sift through the latest transfer noise, the club’s ever-expanding executive org chart, and ask why Ange’s name still won’t go away. Also, who gives a toss about Gary of Harlow's wet dream S...
