Another home defeat, another first half we’d all like to forget. But...a much better second half against a good Villa team, which raises an awkward question: if we’re happy to blame Thomas Frank when it’s bad, do we give him ...
Simon and Kevin discuss: Another horrible capitulation to Bournemouth , Cupgate, players confronting the fans and the captain aiming a broadside at the hierarchy. Thomas continues to struggle - what's he trying to do? Do we s...
We’re dissecting the Jekyll & Hyde draw with Sunderland —from a decent first half to a second-half retreat so deep we nearly ended up in the stand. Inside the episode: Tactical Hostages: Why does Thomas Frank treat a 1-0 lead...
Kevin and Simon discuss our sparkling performance against Brentford. Is Thomas Frank just trying not to lose? Will that save his job? Bilbao hero Brennan Johnson is on his way? Was he good enough? Did we play him out of posit...

Two red cards, a rogue referee and just enough fight to leave us feeling… optimistic? We talk Thomas's tactics before and after the chaos, Kudus hitting the wall, Vand de Ven breaking things and Romero being Romero. There’s a...

Dave's internet went to hell, so it's just Simon prattling on for 10 minutes about our not too bad performance against Newcastle, performative footballers, booing our own players and pondering whether football is fun any more...
Spurs lose the “worst away team vs worst home team” showdown, and the pod is in full post-Fulham therapy mode. We dig into the baffling Bergvall bollockings, and the booing of Vicario — plus Thomas Frank’s weekly insistence t...
Welcome to Nice One Cyril: Extra Time — the shorter, sillier mid-week top-up pod you didn’t ask for. Less tactics, more nonsense. Minor rage, daft joy, questionable optimism, mushy peas, dirty spoons, Crooks & Archibald. If t...
