Dave Bradshaw

Dave Bradshaw has worked his entire life in the tiny world of oral microbiology, firstly in public health labs and latterly in large corporations. He has published more than 75 peer reviewed papers in the field and has a number of patents and other such baubles.

Born in Wood Green, a W3 bus ride from the Lane, he’s since emigrated - first to Cardiff as a student and then to Salisbury and latterly East Kent. Outside work and following Spurs, his passions are wine, curry and backing slow horses running round fields.

Jet Lag, Brand Growth, Nothing Learned.

New Zealand offered Spurs horizontal freezing rain and a bunch of dustbins to beat. Onwards! Australia beckons. This week, Simon Lipson is joined by Julie Welch, Kev Acott and Dave Bradshaw. We dive into: The Auckland Freeze: Why have we sent a huge squad 11,000 miles to play pointless games? Could there possibly be a financial motive? The Left-Behind Club: Kudus, Kulu, Benta, Sarr. Next season's midfield or will they some/all be off? Pre-Season Overreaction: From branding a 17-year...

Who Stays, Who Goes, Who Knows?

No boring 'End of Season Review' here. We all suffered that nightmare. Does anyone need reminding? Instead, Simon Lipson, the luxuriantly thatched Julie Welch, and the balding duo of Kev Acott and Dave Bradshaw hand out end-of-term grades from absolute shit to mediocre, and map out the impending summer chaos. Inside the Episode: The Squad Audit: Sorting the wheat from the chaff. Is Palhinha off? Will we survive Kolo Muani heading back to PSG? (Spoiler: Fuck, yes). Is Solanke good enough? ...

Just When You're Out They Drag You Back In

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...

Oh, Micky, Not So Fine

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...

Welcome To Omnishambles FC, Igor

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...

Frank: 'Defend a bit better, attack a bit better. Simples'

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.
