Episodes

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 team to blame (spoiler alert: no), are refs letting opponents turn our boys into mincemeat, or is something else at play? The Muani Hill: RDZ is prepared to die on it, but we’re ready to move to Tel Mountain. We break down the Mathys Tel necessity. Kinsky’s Rede...

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 Muani mystery, we’ve still got plenty to moan about. Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Dave Bradshaw join Simon Lipson to deep-dive the pros and cons of our performance and so much else. We look into our passing problem, why digital wayfinding is just what we needed at this...

*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 negligence and ask why Richy connects with the ball with all the thudding authority of a polite cough in a library. We also dive into the Romero riddle: were those tears for the club, or just the realization that his knee may have sabotaged his World Cup? RDZ has inhe...

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 the club's £831m With only seven games to save the season, we ask: will he stay if we go down, or will he flounce out the moment he spots a carton of UHT milk in the canteen? Also in this episode: Financial Fair Play-ish: Digging through the £94.7m loss—where did that...

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 slightly pointless Guess The Ex-Spurs Player game. Loads more besides. Laughs, irreverence, therapy. With Simon Lipson, Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Rob White. COYS THFC

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 the small matter of the pre-match hype and whether it served only to heap pressure on the boys and inspire the opposition. With 30 points from 31 games and Igor still searching for a league win, this has to be the end of his tenure. Surely? Room 101, a Churchill i...

Kevin Acott & Simon Lipson discuss: - The Atletico masterclass - Imperious Archie - Tricky Tel, rock-solid Radu, sparkly Simons - Bergvall back and firing - Forest six-pointer Quick therapy for Spurs fans. COYS THFC

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 gritty draw with Liverpool — signs of life, or just another brief flicker? With a huge game against Nottingham Forest looming, we ask whether Spurs can finally produce two decent performances in a row. Plus: Vinai throws Levy under a fleet of buses, conspiracy theorie...

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 Red Card Club: Micky follows Romero into the changing room showers. Is his mind mush? Are the players scared by the scrutiny? Is there a mental health issue? The Great Escape: Solanke to Newcastle, Vic to Italy - anywhere will do - Micky to Barca. Will it be a transf...

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. #COYS #THFC #TTID #Spurs

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 joined by f-bomb flinger Julie Welch, eternal optimist-with-a-funeral-face Kevin Acott, and Spurs support group debutant Peter Willis. On the agenda: The match: a study in nothingness. Tel and Richy tried. The rest? Igor Tudor’s “complex problems” ...

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 got a whole 11 games to put things right. Was Micky being disrespectful again? Have the players subconsciously downed tools? Why should they put their faith in a journeyman firefighter? More Room 101 to lighten the tone, plus some intensely stupid tweets to feast o...

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? Stranger things. We bid a tearful farewell to John Heitinga after an era-defining four-week stint, and examine Igor's team of hatchet-faced henchmen. Also: The Penguin Defense: We consign "hands-behind-the-back" defending, amongst other things, to Room 101. Fact or Fi...

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 where we go from here. And we've got some selection pointers for the board for the next man. COYS THFC

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 "looking over our shoulder" territory. Inevitably the Poch rumours are back. We discuss the likelihood and desirability. Also in this episode: Flappy: Letting in a trundler before turning into Gordon Banks. Plus ça change. Souza & Simons: So good, we wonder why we signed them. ...

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," or just managing the decline? Academy Paradox: Why are we signing 18-year-old James Wilson from Hearts just to play Academy football while Mikey Moore is tearing it up at Rangers? United Away: We look ahead to a massive clash at Old Trafford. It’s messy, it’s petty,...

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' Palhinha and a veteran-style shift from Archie Gray, and look into the "Giant Redwood" that is Flappy in goal. Inside this episode: The Solanke Saviour: Even an atheist can thank God for that goal. The 75-Minute Walkout: Principled protest or utter nonsense? ...

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 one-off. Are Spurs going to suprise us before the window closes? And if so, can they please not surprise us with bloody Raheem Sterling on a free? City to come. Another easy ride? With Kev Acott and Simon Lipson COYS THFC

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: Odobert shows promise, Tel gets messed about again and Gallagher’s written off before he’s unpacked. Transfer chat goes suspiciously quiet, ITKs come up empty and we ask whether it’s possible to hate Arsenal too much ahead of City. Strap in. It’s Nice One Cyril.

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 more besides. #COYS #THFC

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, Bissouma’s return, Ben Davies’ brutal injury, and the eerie silence from the hierarchy. regarding a failing manager. Where's Levy when you need him? Dortmund with half a squad, City, United, Newcastle, Arsenal coming up. It's not getting any easier; ⚠️ Slightly shorter ep...

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 Spurs line-up? Kev, as it turns out. Plus, would defeat to West Ham mean bye-bye Thomas? Irreverence, speculation, nonsense, therapy. COYS
